Eat this, not that

Every night Americans across the country ask the same question: "What's for dinner?" Whether you're eating in or out, the book Eat This, Not That, and its optional accompanying weekly e-newsletters offer tips comparing your favorite foods to better choices. You'll find thousands of simple food swaps that can help you in your quest for a thin middle. Each two-page spread focuses on one food category or restaurant. Bright, colorful photographs of the food being debated is accompanied by calorie content and other quick nutrition facts. Find out what options are less than 400 calories and 15 grams of fat at your favorite restaurant. Or which frozen latte is the worst selection at Starbucks. This book will open your eyes to what you have been eating and help you learn to make better choices.

The fun, silicone cutting boards help measure the proper size portions of Meat, Chicken, Fish, Sides, and Dessert. And let me tell you. The portion on the Dessert disc is TINY so it really hits home how overboard I was going on my favorite dessert, cookies.
