Has anyone heard of the "Eat this not that" and "Drink this not that" books?

If so, are they useful?

    I don't know about the books but there is a blurb on the Men's Health Magazine website (I am a girl). I subscribe and they email me every day with an "Eat This not That" article. It is pretty helpful!

    I have the ETNT Grocery Store edition and I love it. I use to keep it in my car to take into the store.

    We have the "cook this, not that" book. Like any recipe book, it has some I will make, some I will never make.

    Is it usefull? It really depends upon what it is you are seeking.

    It is very specifically targeted. For example, the cookbook takes a specific restauarant meal and makes a cheaper, healthier version of it. So if you love "Applebee's Bakes Potato Soup", for example, it might very well be usefull.

    I find it kind of interesting to have the basis of comparison, but it is not something I would say gives it an edge above other cookbooks.

    I would say that it is really only super usefull if you are an absolute "dining out" junkie and trying to improve. Otherwise, it really isn't any more usefull than the next comparable book.

    I dont eat out a lot, but I do have to find my own lunch during school days where I have to go to the plaza or the school caf to find what to eat. Also, my bf and I like to go out. Would this be beneficial?

    They are really neat books. I've only read one, but it had alot of info in it that I never would have knows otherwise. Just little facts, like that a Twix bar is the worst chocolate bar you could ever eat. Good to know.

    There are quite a few different kinds, not just fast food aimed. We have about 5....and honestly they all seem pretty similar. So don't go off buying a bunch of different kinds....Just find the 1 that suits you best. Pretty sure there is a super market one...
