Book Review: Eat This, Not That! 2013: The No Diet Weight Loss Solution by David Zinczenko and Matt Goulding

Part of: Reviews in Brief

Eat This, Not That! 2013: The No Diet Weight Loss Solution by David Zinczenko and Matt Goulding is an important book which provides warnings on the most dangerous foods to avoid together with healthful food choices that are high in nutrition and much lower in caloric intake.

For instance, the author warns against such things as pink slime in beef, mercury in food drinks, rocket fuel in lettuce and molds in berries. In addition, the FDA has asked the food industry to stop lacing animal feed with antibiotics to prevent diseases in animals.

Zinczenko and Goulding discuss healthful food choices like Applebee's Creamy Parmisan Chicken at 470 calories; The Black Angus Roast Beef and Cheddar Sandwich at 480 calories or Chili's Classic Sirloin Mac at 500 calories. The Subway Turkey Sandwich is another low calorie favorite for dieters.

The authors name foods to avoid; such as, Olive Garden Lasagna Fritta at 1000 calories or the Outback Steakhouse Chocolate Thunder at 1554 calories.

Eat This, Not That!  is an important book on foodstuffs for the general public, dieters and people with a specific need to reduce inflammation markers in the blood chemistry like the c-reactive protein and others. Today, eating is not simply a matter of food enjoyment--it is literally an issue of life and death with regard to some dangerous food production issues which linger outside the general public view.

The author has provided an important public service by researching the science of food, the regulatory citations of the FDA and sound nutrition. The presentation is brief, simple to understand and easy to incorporate into the daily diet without sacrificing the enjoyment gained from eating delicious food.

    I've never been a huge fan of these "lose weight quickly" type articles. The problem with most of the methods is that, most people end up putting the weight straight back on.

    If you want to lose weight permanently, then visit: http://www.healthandfitnessdiets.com. Thanks to the great diet plans and workout routines, I'm currently in the best shape of my life and look great. Furthermore, the weight is staying off!

    However, remember there are no shortcuts or magical secrets to a great body - it's simply a result of hard-work and not giving up!
