*Notice*I may come off as a sales man, but i just want yall to give this book an honest look. Everyone that has read through it at my apartment is really intrigued by it.*End Notice*
This little book is amazing. Now, i dont agree with everything it puts forth, but after reading it literally from cover to cover, it is easily one of the best books for simple nutrition tips and changes that i have ever come across. Its by the Editor in Chief of Men's Health magazine David Zinczenko (I personally love the magazine and site, so detractors, eat me), and it is pretty darn new.
My dad actually came across it and the intriguing thing about it is that it has an entire section dedicated to numerous fast food and restaurants and what to NOT eat and what to eat INSTEAD at those places. Comes complete with many pictures and 4 items to eat (or, arent that bad), and 4 to avoid (or swap). They provide calories, fat, and carbs and sometimes more.
The book also details things like what to eat when hungover, what to eat when you are in need of a wake-me-up, what to eat when you want brain power, or even what to eat (and avoid) when you want to get in the mood (dark chocolate and vanilla
ice cream, anyone?).
There is also a section for shopping at the grocery store and what to get (and not get) for cereals, breads, yogurt, candies, nuts and dried fruits, and various other subjects and helpful tips. There is even a section for beer and mixed drinks, and surprisingly, Guiness Draught is one of the beers that doesnt have alot of calories or carbs.
