This book is my going out to eat touchstone. I always crack it open to help me make better choices.
Who else uses this book?
I really wish that they had a working iPhone app.

I do and love it. I also use the Cook this Not that book.0

I use it. I eat out really often. More than I should. But the book has helped me make better choices definitely. Who can say they eat out almost daily and still lost 66 lbs? LOL!0

I don't have the book- but subscribe to the daily email. It's what got me started. Love it!0

Keep in mind, the eat this part is not necessarily the healthiest choice. I dont believe using this book and logging it in MFP will help you reach your goal as easily. Will take more time if anything.0

I have recommended the book series on several postings.0

I already admitted that it was not the best choice, but I'm not a big fan of cooking. I've done extremely well for the 6 months I have used this site. 11 lbs a month is nothing to scoff at. And yes, a lot of my food entries were eating out. The point to MFP is to design a diet/fitness plan that fits YOUR lifestyle. IF you are the type to eat out, then "Eat This, Not That" will help you.0 -
I use Rocco Dispirito's Now eat this diet!
Not quite like the "eat this not that" book but pretty close!
I love both of them!0 -

I do agree. It just helps give you a good starting point to go from. Its all about getting more information to help you make the healthiest decisions about what to eat. The more info, the better. I think the book just helps to put you in the right mindset of seeking out the healthier places to eat and the healthier meals to choose.
It's an eye-opening book. It surprised me to see how bad some restaurant meals actually were.0 -
If they have a website/or daily email can someone tell me where to sign up please?0

I thought they were a waste of money. I have at least three of the books and opened the first one once and the rest have never even been looked at.0

Yes, my husband's the same way. I know he's not really tempting me, but it feels that way sometimes!0

That's good. I don't use the book, and eat out a lot, too. I use restaurant websites that post nutrition facts to make better choices. Anything that's helping you make lower calories, lower fat choices is a good thing. Congrats on losing 66 pounds. That's amazing!
Thanks. I go to their websites too. I have pre-selected healthy choices at all my favorite restaurants. The problem is my daughter orders my favorite at Panda Express and I have trouble resisting the urge to pick off her plate.0 -
I follow them on Twitter. I think every day they tweet a new list. I find them pretty interesting and informative.0
-
Picking off of my kids plates anywhere I eat (out or at home) has been one of the more difficult things about my new healthier lifestyle. I would routinely finish off the leftovers that they had on their plates.0

I own them all! My favorite thing EVER.
I highly recommend the supermarket edition!0 -
I wish I had the newest one, I do have the one called "Cook this not that", though I haven't made anything from it with my college schedule being what it is... I love the Eat this not That stuff... I may ask for the latest book for x-mas... I wish they had a working app too... It'd bet so much easier than remembering your phone AND a book... At least the books are all small right?!0
