Eat This, Not That! Thousands of Simple Food Swaps that Can Save You 10, 20, 30 Pounds--or More!



Eat This, Not That! Thousands of Simple Food Swaps that Can Save You 10, 20, 30 Pounds--or More!by David Zinczenko, Matt Goulding

Americans spend more than $400 billion a year eating out, and behind each burger, turkey sandwich, and ice cream sundae is a simple decision that could help you control your weight--and your life. The problem is, restaurant chains and food producers aren't interested in helping you make healthy choices. In fact, they invest $30 billion a year on advertising, much of it aimed at confusing eaters and disguising the fat and calorie counts of their products.

All of that has changed with EAT THIS, NOT THAT! This book puts the entire food industry under the spotlight, and arms you with the savvy tricks and insider information it takes to eat well no matter where you are. With EAT THIS, NOT THAT! you're the expert in every eating situation, from the frozen food aisle to your favorite fast food joint to your local sports bar. You control your food universe--and lose the pounds you want--because, unlike every other customer, you'll know the smart choices to make--instantly!

EAT THIS, NOT THAT! is jam-packed with secrets the restaurant industry doesn't want you to know. For example: * Burger King doesn't want you to know that a BK Big Fish® Sandwich and fries have a whopping 1000 calories--nearly half your daily caloric intake! (Fish is usually healthy, but not this kind. Find out why with this book.) * Pizza Hut doesn't want you to know that a standard pizza in Italy contains 500 to 800 calories, but the same meal at Pizza Hut can top 2,100 calories! (You'd need to ride a stationary bike for more than three hours to burn off this mistake. Instead, eat all the pizza you want by making smart choices.

EAT THIS, NOT THAT! shows you how.) * Macaroni Grill doesn't want you to know that a single serving of their Grilled Teriyaki Salmon has more than three times your daily allowance of sodium! (Cut your risk of high blood pressure by making smart choices at the same restaurant. You'll find them inside.)

If only you knew the industry secrets, you could eat at any of your favorite restaurants--or chow down on everything from the company vending machine to your kids' Halloween buckets--and know that every decision you made was smart, healthy, and the best possible choice for you. For example, did you know: * At McDonald's, an Egg McMuffin® is actually a healthy choice, with just 300 calories. (The Hotcakes pack more than double that amount!) * At Krispy Kreme, all you need to do is order the Very Berry Chiller instead of the Mocha Dream Chiller, and you'll save 500 calories! (Do that once a week and you'll drop more than 7 pounds this year--without trying!) * At Chipotle, you can cut 570 calories out of your Chicken Burrito just by ordering it as a bowl (without the tortilla) and asking them to hold the rice. (Same great taste, but with 94 fewer carb grams!) * Choosing a cinnamon roll at Au Bon Pain over Cinnabon will save you 463 calories and 20 grams of fat! * In the freezer section of your local supermarket, a turkey pot pie from Swanson's has 610 fewer calories than a turkey pot pie from Pepperidge Farms. * In the produce aisle, you'll get twice the vitamin C--and nine times as much vitamin A--simply by picking red bell peppers over green ones. (Who said eating healthy was difficult?)

And that's why EAT THIS, NOT THAT! is going to change everything. It's time to level the playing field. We're all tired of sneaky calories adding to our waistlines, and having to starve ourselves or spend hours on the treadmill trying to burn off the damage. Now--for the first time--you're in charge. With this simple illustrated guide to thousands of foods--along with the nutrition secrets that lead to fast and permanent weight loss--you'll make the smartest choice every time!

"I was not sure what to expect when I decided to do a round of HCG. I was really nervous about the strict diet and the low calorie amount. I found that I wasn't hungry at all! I learned there is a big difference between wanting food, and needing food. I had cravings for sweets, but I wasn't hungry and it made me feel so good to be able to tell myself "No, you don't need that." I think it has opened a new light on food, and a whole new way of eating healthier for myself and the family. I was surprised at the change in my body. Not only did I lose 18 pounds, my clothes fit so much better. I know it is called pounds and inches but I never expected the great results I achieved in such a short time. Thank you so much!" - Theresa

"I would consider myself a fairly healthy person who was pretty good about doing exercise to keep in shape. As I entered into my 30's I started to realize how much easier it was to gain weight and how hard you had to work to loose just one pound. I could work out pretty hard and just stay right where I was as far as weight goes. I did the HCG diet plan, got to a healthy weight and where I wanted to be and have been able to keep it off. It would have taken 6 months to do what I did in 6 weeks! During my diet I felt great, had energy and didn't feel deprived of food. It was also a huge eye opening experience to see just how much we over eat! I'm really happy with where I have gotten and how easy it has been to keep it off." - Karla

"The hCG diet is amazing. I lost 40 lbs in 31 days!!! I couldn’t believe how much I lost. Ever since leaving the military after I was injured I stopped caring and just put on weight. By the time I realized something had to be done I was 285 lbs. Over the next YEAR I was able to drop 30lbs. But I reached a major stall and just couldn’t seem to find a way past it. Dr. Hooker introduced me to the hCG diet and I was enthusiastic but skeptical to say the least. I realized that this was only a 26 day protocol, and thought 'I can do that, its not even 1 month'. So I went for it and I was having such amazing results I asked for an extra week to hit that 40lb mark and I did it. I haven’t weighed this little since leaving the military. After finishing the full protocol I am still losing weight without trying again. Thank you Dr. Hooker and Derma Health Institute I feel amazing again!" - Michael

Morning Weigh In: Down 1 lbs.

Get me out of here! One more day of denying myself the simplest of pleasures…bread! By the way, isn’t bread supposed to be some sort of foundation of life or something? And these kinds of foundations, these simplicities…these are the things that brought me to this place to begin with!

I’m down another pound today. Hooray! So I end at 136 pounds. Not too shabby! I’ve got my final weigh in and appointment with Dr Watwood and I’m thrilled that I’m going in there yet another pound lighter. This is going to be the best Dr’s appointment EVER!

The Dr and I had some good discussion about keeping my calories up more; making sure that I don’t loose any energy and giving my metabolism a chance to really work to my advantage. Okay, okay! Weigh me already!! Measure me now!!

Here goes:

STARTED ENDED
Weight 154.8 135.6
Measure 1”above belly button 35” 29”
Measure 1” below belly button 37.5” 34"
Hips 40” 36.5
Right thigh 23” 21"
Left thigh 23” 21”

Hey, wait a minute! My scale is about ½ pound off! Oh well, it’s all headed in the right direction! I’m shocked at the loss of inches. In fact, I pretty sure I started to tear up in her office today. This has been a long haul and even though I have a great satisfaction in feeling good and fitting into all my clothes again, I’m feeling exhausted at the tremendous toll this has taken on me mentally.

I can’t recall any other time I’ve done something so ridiculously taxing. And it’s food. This simple looking thing that is there to give us the sustenance we need to function throughout our day. So easily abused, this simple thing. I’m going to celebrate today. I won’t be having any ice cream parties for myself, but I will leave this office and breathe deeply. I’ll find myself smiling throughout the day for no apparent reason. I’ll give myself mental hugs and pats on the back as I go through this day.

Now, I can set my sights on the next day. I can be reasonable and calculate what I’m eating without beating myself up. I can set new goals for myself…and keep them. I can see food and now it only takes a second for me to consider it. I can say no without feeling as though I’m missing out. 19 pounds lost! 17 inches gone! And now, a new list of priorities for myself…

HCG Diet Stabilization Day 20: I Can See the Finish Line!

Morning Weigh In: Up .2 lbs.

Two more days of this! I can hear the potato section of the grocery store calling my name! It’s a little faint, but they are so excited that I will be seeing them again!

After increasing my calories yesterday, I felt a bit of panic as I stepped on the scale this morning. I’m up .2 pounds. But it’s my own fault. Had I been increasing this calorie intake all along, my body would have adjusted by now. I’m not going to stress. I’ll keep plugging along, eating what I know will give me some good energy and hopefully, my body will chill out and find its happy place.

I’m starting to realize that my mind is wandering all over the place as I approach the final days of this diet. I’m wondering if I’ll keep this weight off. I’m wondering how my exercise will affect this loss. I’m thinking that I’ll go shopping next week! And of course, I’m trying to plan what I’ll eat on my first day back to “normal-ville!” Pasta? A baked potato? Bread?? I’m excited to get back to normal but nervous at the same time. I’m looking forward to seeing Dr Watwood and discussing these pesky little worries!

Breakfast: coffee, water, banana w/ peanut butter
Lunch: left-over steak, some cheese, water
Dinner: chicken tortilla soup (minus the tortilla), water, beer
Snack: almonds, pistachios, some cheese, water

TOTAL ESTIMATED CALORIES: 980
