 excellent book February 27, 2010

Years ago, I read the Diamonds' book Fit for Life and was hugely impacted by it. However, losing my ignorance on food matters was not bliss, It was a continuous struggle to buy organic, eat only fruit till 11 am, and so forth. Many a day were spent being depressed about not being able to measure up to my own impossibly high standards of what would go onto our family's dinner table. Financially, we couldn't maintain it, either.
Over the years, it became clear that this approach was causing much unnecessary stress in my life. And while I am still vigilant about foods, I have tried to simplify and turn to the supermarket for the majority of my family's food.
Enter ETNT, a great compliment to everything I already know about nutrition. The author has done your homework for you. It's all about making better choices, really. Substitute your favorite calorie, fat, carb, sodium-laden favorite with its healthier alternative which will still satisfy and save you tons of calories in the process. It's all laid out in a nice picture format - easy to absorb, great as reference.
Reading the first ETNT brought many new alternatives to our family's table, and this one is no exception.
My 14 y.o. son, who thinks he knows everything about life and who has been struggling with making healthy diet choices when the parents aren't looking, read this book and has already been trying to avoid some of the worst culprits.
As for me, as a working mother and main chef in the home, this book has brought relief. You won't find too many over processed foods on my table, but I still feel like I have the freedom to choose thanks to this book.
 Fair assessment February 27, 2010

Being a reader of Men's Health magazine for years, I was not surprised this book made the grade. I took it to work with me as this is where I eat out the most. I was quite shocked at some of the calorie content of some things I thought were somewhat healthy. A person using this book can save themselves lots of empty calories and some time on the treadmill.
Great for making you realize what you're really eating February 22, 2010

I enjoy these books - I think it helps make you a smarter shopper in terms of nutritional value. There easy to read - short snippets not 350 pages of scientific mumbo jumbo - a picture and the explanation of why one type of item is better than another.
Something for the whole family February 17, 2010

This book was very informative. You think somethings at some resturants are healthy and then come to find out that is not the case at all!! Knowledge is power and now I dont have any excused to slack on parts of my diet... A MUST HAVE AT THE GROCCERY STORE!!
