"Eat This Not That !" by David Zinczenko & Matt Goulding

I record Oprah everyday and review the shows quickly when I can to decide which ones I will keep and watch later and which ones I will ditch. One that totally caught my eye was about making good choices and decisions on healthier options and how so many people make the wrong or less healthy choices.

This is exactly what I need. When I eat something, I want the most bang for my buck nutritionally and if it can be a small change from eating a cheese pizza to choosing the ham and pineapple pizza which author David Zinczenko said on Oprah was the better choice - I am all for it.

"The smartest eating choices--made simple! The secret to looking, feeling, and living better than ever is not by depriving yourself of the foods you love. It's by making the best choices in a variety of real-life situations. Based on the most popular column in both Men's Health and Women's Health magazines, Eat This Not That is a comprehensive guide to what to eat at home, from the supermarket, even at a fast-food counter. Do you know why a hot fudge sundae is a good dessert option? Why potato chips are better than fries? And why Swiss cheese is three times healthier than Cheddar? With this simple, illustrated guide to hundreds and hundreds of foods--along with the nutrition secrets that lead to fast and permanent weight loss--now you will!

I have not read this book, but I am going out to buy it this weekend. I will give you updates on future posts.
