GOOD ADVICE IF YOU EAT FAST FOOD

I guess one could argue with a fair amount of validity that eating healthy and fast food our a rather distinct contrast in terms. The best advice if one wants to eat healthy at a fast food place is...don't! But let's face it...most of us simply are not going to heed that advice because our lives are so on the go that fast food is often not only the best option but the only option, particularly for lunch. Bob Green's book takes you through just about any fast food chain you can think of as well as many of the more medium-priced sit down chains such as Applebees, Bennigans, Red Lobster, and more. You're sure to find your favorites from McDonalds to Arbys and Quizno's to Jack in the Box. Even pizza chains like Dominos, Little Caesers and Pizza hut. Bob provides the best choices for healthy eating at all of these establishments complete with all the nutritional information you'll need to make an educated selection. Bob even gives suggestions for beverages as well. Most of the selections should be fairly common sense among eaters, Obviously a grilled chicken sandwich without the mayo is going to be much better for you than that double Whopper with cheese, but it's still nice to have all the selections and nutritional information in one neat little book.

a great little book!

I went to the bookstore the other day, and as I was browsing the new releases when I have came upon this little book!It is really comprehensive. It would be a great addition to any person's personal diet plan to follow. It is not easy to eat healthy when you go out, but with this book you can have the convenience of fast food, still eat well and not give up on your diet goals! I would highly recommend this book!
