RESTAURANT SURVIVAL GUIDE by David Zinczenko, with Matt Goulding (Rodale Books; Paperback, $19.99).

Whether you’re ordering from a fast food drive-thru, a local diner, or a fine dining restaurant, eating out has become nothing less than a leap of faith – once you place that order, you give control to a handful of people who have a lot less invested in your health and well-being than you do. Portions have skyrocketed and are filled with hidden fats and ingredients. The results are easy to see – from our out-of-control healthcare costs, to the national obesity crisis, to the increasing development of adult-onset diabetes among our children. Learn how restaurants are making Americans overweight, and how to fight back! This practical guidebook provides consumers with the simple tools to reshape your body, save time and money, and even improve your health.

The EAT THIS, NOT THAT! RESTAURANT SURVIVAL GUIDE is an insider’s guide to smart, healthy swaps at all of America’s favorite restaurants.

Did you know?

• You shouldn’t try to lose weight with a TGI Friday’s “healthy” Pecan-Crusted Chicken Salad – it packs more than 1,300 calories! (Get the Asian Sesame Chicken Salad at Panera Bread and strip away 950 of those calories!)
• You could eat two Whopper Jr.’s from Burger King and still save 60 calories over the BK Big Fish Sandwich.
