With tens of thousands of products crammed into the walls of the neighborhood supermarket, trying to find a reliable snack, pantry product, or frozen dinner can be a serious challenge for the time-strained consumer. The Eat This, Not That! Supermarket Survival Guide changes all of that, offering discerning shoppers everywhere a simple plan for finding the healthiest foods for them and their families. Beyond homing in on the best and worst in the world of packaged foods, the Eat This, Not That! Supermarket Survival Guide scours the aisles to help you pick the most nutrient-packed produce, the leanest, tastiest cuts of meat, exotic cheeses that double as healthy snacks, and the best contaminant-free fish the ocean has to offer.

Product Description
Much like the waistlines of America, the aisles of your grocery store are straining under the weight of too much food. There are more than 40,000 products lining the shelves of your local supermarket, and with every product comes a whole new host of inflated label claims: “zero trans fat!” “Cholesterol free!” “Good source of 9 vitamins and minerals!” The problem is these claims are just as bogus as the hyped-up foods they’re trying to sell. That’s where Eat This, Not That! Supermarket Survival Guide comes in. It’s your best weapon against the food industry’s effort to obfuscate the truth about the food it’s selling. Building on the popular approach of the Eat This, Not That! book series, co-authors Dave Zinczenko and Matt Goudling have scoured the aisles of the supermarkets of America, and in so doing they’ve discovered that two seemingly similar packages can house foods with vastly different nutritional profiles. They’ve also folded in all-new material that will help you pick the most nutrient-packed produce; the leanest, tastiest cuts of meat; and the least contaminated seafood at the fish counter. In this book you’ll also find: - 11 Secrets the Food Industry Doesn’t Want You to Know
- 20 Worst Packaged Foods in America
- Answers to The 5 Most Important Questions About Organic Food
- The Ultimate Sandwich Selector
- The Snack Matrix
- The Food Additive Glossary
- And the extended chapter, Drink This, Not That!

 Keep in your buggy July 27, 2010

So many times we think what we are buying is healthy when it isn't, or we stay away from food that we think aren't healthy but in reality they aren't to bad for you. This is just a eyeopener and helps me shop. Love it!

"Eat This Not That Supermarket Survival Guide" is David Zinczenko and Matt Goulding's answer to shopping with their series of books on what they like to call "The No-Diet Weight Loss Solution." What they did for eating out with their first book, the Restaurant Survival Guide, they now do for the supermarket. It is a very handy little book to assist you as your walk the aisles filling your shopping cart.
After a short introduction regarding food and what the book can do for you, Chapter one covers basic rules for your trip to the supermarket. Rules like working the edges and learning the lingo. This chapter includes 11 secrets the food industry doesn't want you to know and the 20 worst packaged foods in America. The worst happens to be Marie Callender's Creamy Parmesan Chicken Pot Pie.
Chapter two focuses on the produce aisle and how to supercharge your meals. Good little primer on fruits and vegetables. From there, we go to the meat and fish counters in chapter three. This is a short chapter to help you make sense of meat. Chapter four then covers the refrigerator. This is the first chapter that starts to divide foods into "eat this and not that" categories. For example, on the Deli Meats page, you find Hormel Natural Choice Carved Chicken Breast on the "eat this" page, and Oscar Mayer Deli Fresh Grilled Chicken Breast Strips on the "not that" page. (Calories, fat, and sodium are all listed, and lower on the first choice) Some of the other categories in this chapter include hot dogs and sausage, cheese, and yogurt.
Chapter five is the chapter to review when it is time to stock your pantry staples. Categories include: grains, rice sides, dry noodles, bread loaves, breakfast breads and pastries, cereals, condiments, nut and seed butters, jellies, jams, preserves, pasta sauces and much more.
Sure, snacks and sweets are not top choices for anyone on a diet, but if you are going to eat them, chapter six will help you make smarter choices. Some good advice on snacks here, and then categories contrasting corn chips, potato chips, dips, pretzels, snack mixes, crackers, popcorn, cookies, and much more.
In the seventh chapter we get to the freezer section. Contrasted foods include ice cream, frozen yogurt, sorbet, frozen pies, frozen pizza, meat substitutes, and other foods found in the frozen aisles.
Chapter eight covers drinks. Juice, smoothies, shakes, tea, milk, beer, and a few others are covered here. I know an entire book just came out on what to drink, so this chapter is just a teaser compared to what the book contains. This is still a good primer on what you are buying to drink.
The final chapter, nine, provides you with a guide to save money while shopping. It contains a couple of tips and then ten popular dishes that you can make at home to save money and calories. The book then concludes with a food additive glossary.
I really like this series of books. They are small, so you can carry with you, colorful so easy to read and use, and packed with information. Sure, not every single food you might find is covered, but enough are listed to make you a savvy shopper. By understanding the differences between the eat this foods and the not that foods, you will then be able to read labels and make healthier choices even when not found in this guide. Reading this book also provides a lot of good information about eating healthy, and after reading it you'll be much better prepared to hit the supermarket and fill your cart with healthy selections.

Essential guide to healthy grocery shopping July 4, 2010

Staying healthy and eating well should be the ideal goal for all us but food companies make it very difficult with their deceptive packaging and sales marketing. Without knowing what to look for a package marked low fat or less calories could be filled with more sugar or more fattening than the normal brand. Diet and exercize is the proven method to loose weight and stay healthy and fit but the true definition for diet and to be able to stay healthy is to learn to eat healthy while eating normal foods.
Diets and weight loss programs will help you loose the pounds but it is following a defined food regiment they dictate and they in no way prepare you on how to eat once you go back to regular food. This happened to me. I lost over 90 pounds on a weight loss program that included nutrition shakes, small meals and exercize. Then I started eating normal and though I had it all under control. Thinking I was preparing healthy meals the pounds still came back on. Bottom line with this book is that it is priceless. First it educates you on how to read labels and what to look for with calories, fat grams and saturated fats. Then in a 100% user friendly way it goes through all the different food categories in the grocery store and shows what the healthiest choices are. Pictures of all products are shown and it is clearly explained why an item's nutrituous value is what it is. And the book looks at all food categories normal people shop for. Cereals, pasta, snack foods, ice cream, cooking oils, frozen meals, margarines and breads are only a few of the categories shown. Even things we know are healthy like fruits and vegetables are shown and it is clearly illustrated which are healthier than others. Learn the truth of how a healthy salad is killed by fattening salad dressing.
Most important is learning how a grocery store sets up their products. The most fattening and crave inducing items are at eye level with more nutritious items above and below eye level. And learn how to read what portion size means behind the hidden packaging practices. This book is so easy to follow and gives the reader such useful information. You will approach the grocery store differently after this book and it will become a tool that will help you be able to still cook your favorite meals but cutting fat and calories by huge amounts by using the correct products. What it claims is true. You can maintain a steady weight eating good food by knowing the facts. You will be shocked at how fattening many of the products you have been eating are and how just a brand change can often make a huge difference. With this book you will understand what you are putting in your body and gain control over your wieight and health. This book is a god send and will be life altering if you follow what it shows you.
It changed my life! June 30, 2010
Paulina Millan Alvarez
This book changed my life forever. I'll always be grateful for all the tips this book gave me. I lost the weight I wanted and feel great. I was the kind of person who wouldn't eat anything for fear of adding pounds but now I'm in better shape and eat a lot more and a lot healthier. The downside: I kinda now live for Zinczenko and sometimes can't go to new places if I don't first see what my best menu options are but... well, someday I'll hopefully be able to "walk on my own" ;)
