 You Eat What You See... Cure for the SEEFOOD Diet ! May 12, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have been one to admit being on the SEEFOOD Diet. I eat all that I SEE! :) This is my 2nd copy, the first I saw at the "overpriced" trendy book storet. Once I opened it, I could not put it down. I am now down 30 lbs and still loosing! I feel much better, I am off 2 of my 3 daily RX's. Like they say.. a picture is worth a thousand words, this is the "War and Peace" of Diet books.
As simple as the Title, "Eat this, Not That!" thats basically what this book shows you. Simple changes in what you choose to eat, and the FULL COLOR pictures, it made a diffence. Plus like advertisers have used for years to get us to buy food that is BAD for us, this book uses the same principle to get us to make food choices that are better for us.
I highly recomend this book, believe me once you pick it up, you won't put it down, and hopefully like this book claims, and I can attest, you can drop 10,20, or 30 or more pounds.. and finally Keep it off!!
Very helpful! will buy as a gift for family. May 11, 2008
Very helpful! I will buy this book as a gift for other family members. I carry it in my car as a helpful reference. It supplements and supports my Weight Watchers program. I watched a review of this book on the morning show, so I knew ahead of time how helpful it might be!

This book is invaluable for those watching their weight. It allows you to eat out like all the normal people and know exactly what you are and can eat and still lose weight.
 Interesting book May 10, 2008

It's worth it, just to KNOW what you're eating. Like the movie SuperSize Me this should change your attitude about fast food, and unlike the movie it helps you to make better choices. Good book for any age, even my little sister learned something from it.
 Sensationalism trumps information May 10, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I really like the idea behind this book, and applaud the authors for some good work. However, both of those commendable things are subverted by some real fundamental problems. First, there's the amount of information offered. It's not as much as you'd think, primarily because there's such an emphasis on the pictures. Do I need a picture of a breaded chicken sandwich? Do I need a dozen? No. Give me a table from each restaurant, annotated with hot spots and clever insights, and I'll have a lot more to go on. There really isn't nearly enough information in this book.
The biggest problem I have with it is two-fold: First, the authors use tricky phrasing and small print to make their points. For instance, at Panera Bread, the pizza-like alternative they say to eat is shown as a whole pizza, while a small-print item I didn't notice at first says that their caloric and fat estimates are based on 1/3 of the pie shown. This happens quite a few times throughout the book.
The second problem is that it's kind of a set-up job. The "not that" examples are usually stacked with the fattiest dressing, the highest-calorie beverage, etc. Basically, if there's a way to get fat and calories into the "not that" examples, they seem to have amped it to the extreme. I would have preferred more information and less sensationalism.
Overall, a good idea, but some flaws make it less than useful. Too bad.
