Book Review: Choose One Fat-Laden Dish or Sandwich Rather Than Another
Summary: 3 Stars
The information in this book is accurate and helpful, but you won't get enough information to make much of dent in your surplus heft. Why?
1. Almost half the book focuses on restaurants, and very few of those are located near where I live. At least a third of the book was totally irrelevant to me.
2. In the comparisons, most of the space goes for photographs. A simple text format would have allowed ten times as much information in the same space.
3. Unless you have never read anything about fat and calories, you will only find a surprising answer in about every 40 pages. In the entire book, I only found three places where I have been choosing the wrong thing when the choices are available.
4. Restaurants and food providers are always changing what they offer (usually by adding more fat, sugar, sodium, and calories) so this book will quickly become obsolete . . . unlike a more fundamental book on how to control weight.
5. Within the recommendations, there are some pretty extreme ones. Are you ready to eat a cup of fresh spinach daily? Can you afford a cup of blueberries a day? Now, I like both foods but I doubt if I've ever eaten that much of either one in a day.
I felt the book had about $6.00 worth of information in a $19.95 format.
If you are totally new to what fats, sodium, and carbohydrates are in foods and want to make some better choices, this book certainly won't hurt you.
