Keep this book in your purse or backpack! March 6, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book is filled with information that will help you navigate menus and food preparation techniques when you are eating away from home while achieving both great health and great tasting food. Those two goals are not mutually exclusive, and Hope gives you the keys to achieving both outcomes.
I found the specific requests and questions she lists in order to help you pleasantly and assertively communicate your food desires to the servers to be especially helpful. No one wants "to make a scene" while ordering food, so Hope's background as a registered dietitian and educator plus being a professionally trained chef gives one confidence that her recommendations are easy for you to say, easy for the waiter to understand, and easy for the kitchen to execute.
The book's small size is a plus for keeping this wealth of information handy in your purse or book bag. However, the small size does mean that those of us over age 40 will need to have our reading glasses handy, too.

Eat Out, Eat Right is a great blend of nutritional information for healthy eating on the go. Each chapter breaks down different situations--from fast food to fine dining, Mexican and Italian to Japanese and Indian foods, and even a chapter on healthy eating out with children. I love that examples are made for both low and moderate calorie levels for each cuisine type, and I also found the specific examples of how to interpret and understand the nutrition information to be quite useful (rather than just listing facts for consumers to interpret themselves). Overall, this is a great resource!
Pint-sized and packed with information! March 4, 2008

This book is pint-sized and packed with information. It is designed with "ease of reference" in mind by being both easy to carry and easy to find the information you need. It is clear that Ms. Warshaw has put her heart and soul into this book; she really wants to help people enjoy dining out and eating healthy at the same time. Eat Out, Eat Right is filled with sound advice and the strategies to put the advice into practice. There are even worksheets in the book to help you understand your behaviors and how you can change them. The meal comparisons are eye-opening and really tie all of the "how-to" advice together. Great book!

I really appreciate that Hope makes practical suggestions and healthier modifications for most foods on a menu. It's not one of those "No NEVER EAT THAT AGAIN" books! It cover's numerous cuisines. Love the handy, small size! I will keep my copy in my glove compartment. I always thought this book was only for people with Diabetes. It is for them AND ANYONE that wants to know how to eat more healthy while eating out!

I love that Eat Out, Eat Right is small enough to fit into your purse or in your briefcase (or glove compartment) because that's what it's all about--being prepared when you're dining out--so take it along. It's so smartly organized that you can open it quickly to the type of restaurant you're considering and get exactly what you need to know to make smart choices. Kudos to Hope and her publisher for this updated third version, because it pays to be prepared when dining out, and as she notes in her "Trends" chapter, that's what Americans are doing with increasing frequency.
Hope doesn't tell us not to eat out--she tells us HOW to eat out and stay healthy, too. The book begins by defining what a healthy diet is, and then shows the readers how to translate goals into dining skills and strategies. Hope has a deliberate mind--and guides the reader first by showing us how restaurants make it so easy to gain weight and then showing better options. Each cuisine is first defined and described, then we see a 'nutrition snapshot', which can be really scary! We learn 'green flag' and 'red flag' preparation terms (very valuable and once learned makes menu reading extremely simple--you can zero in on best dishes when you know the lingo), and I especially like the 'May I take your order' sections, with best sample meals and nutritional analyses.
And don't forget beverages, and so many diners do. Coffee drinks and alcoholic beverages can be diet dilemmas, demonstrated here--with ideas for lowering fat and sugar, and calories.
Fast food isn't all created equal--and from salad bars and soups to Thai, Deli and even fine-dining, readers learn the difference between a nutrition nightmare and an acceptable entree or side dish.
