I saw this book cover and all the members having it on their wish list and thought it has be a good book, plus all the other variations of the same book. I ended up ordering the book through amazon. Boy was I disappointed! Much of the info was common sense. DUH! A burger without cheese compared to a burger with cheese is going to be a better choice. Or a comment about switching out mayo or salad dressing to cut calories, again, another no brainer. The book compared many different restaurants, many of which I don't know, kind of useless if those restaurants aren't available within hundreds of miles from where I live. Some of the comparison were not a good comparison. Of course, a veggie pizza is going to be a healthier option then a meat pizza. The key to weight loss is moderation. The suggestions in general made sense, but I don't believe they are realistic. I found it a little confusing on how they determined one food was better then the next. It seemed many items were based on sugar content or calories. That's fine and dandy but not everybody has the same needs.
