Eat This, Not That! 2011: Thousands of easy food swaps that can save you 10, 20, 30 pounds--or more!
That brand-new physique youâ??ve been waiting for, the leaner, fitter, healthier body you thought youâ??d never had. Eat This, Not That! 2011â??the latest, most up-to-date book in the best-selling weight loss franchiseâ??is ready to start stripping extra pounds from your body today. And once you lose that weight, youâ??re going to keep it off. Forever.
 
Thatâ??s because Eat This, Not That! is a tool. Itâ??s designed to make smart food choices easier, no matter where youâ??re making them. Consider just a handful of real stories from real people whoâ??ve shed 25, 50, 75 poundsâ??or more!â??and youâ??ll understand why Eat This, Not That! is â??The no-diet weight-loss solutionâ?:
â?¢Â Michael Colombo of Staten Island, New York, shed 91 pounds in just over 8 months and conquered life-threatening sleep apnea, after picking up a copy of Eat This, Not That!. â??My confidence has sky-rocketed!â? he says.
â?¢Â Erika Bowen of Minneapolis, Minnesota, dropped 84 poundsâ??without dieting. â??I feel like Iâ??ve always wanted to feel,â? Bowen reports. Once she discovered the truth about her food, she learned she could lose weight and never feel hungry.
â?¢Â Dana Bickelman of Waltham, Massachusetts, lost 70 pounds after discovering the shocking truth about the foods she was eating. Her secret: She learned to indulgeâ??even at her favorite restaurantsâ??but to do it more smartly.
 
Eat This, Not That! teaches you how to read nutrition labels and decipher misleading menu descriptions. It pairs classic food swaps, and helps you cut hundredsâ??or even thousandsâ??of calories from your daily diet, without feeling like youâ??ve deprived yourself at all. Consider:
 
*One of Americaâ??s chain restaurants is serving a pasta dish with more than 2,700 calories? (Thatâ??s nearly a pound of flabâ??in one meal!)
*Choosing Breyerâ??s Reeseâ??s Peanut Butter Cups Ice Cream over Ben & Jerryâ??s Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream will save you 200 calories per scoop?
*The wrong milk shake at Cold Stone will cost you more than a dayâ??s worth of calories? (But a smart swap will eliminate 1,520 of them!)

Biggest Loser Nutritionist Shares Simple Swaps for Healthy Holiday Parties

Elf holding a tempting pieGood nutrition isn’t all or nothing – especially during the busy, festive holiday feasting season. Rather than trying to follow a complicated plan to the letter – and giving up when you “blow it” by sampling one too many holiday cookies – make a smart series of small choices. Opt for healthier foods each time, and you’ll make steady progress toward your goals, regardless of the season.

Try these simple swaps to make easy, healthy food choices for holiday parties:

Swap famished for full. Eat a healthy snack before you head to the event to avoid gorging on the goodies. For staying power, snack on both carbs and protein - the combination helps slow the release of blood sugar to maintain steady energy and lengthens the sensation of satiety (a feeling of fullness).
Swap food gifts for flowers. If you bring food as a "hostess gift", it will likely be shared immediately with partygoers, so don’t sabotage yourself by bringing extra temptation in the form of a present. In addition to flowers, calorie-free gift options include gift soap sets, cute cocktail napkins, and wine charms.
Swap chips for veggies. Go ahead and try the dips on the buffet table, but only with raw vegetables. If you're making the dip, serve it not only with sliced celery and carrots, but slivers of jicama root or small bites of broccoli; bake your own chips from tortillas and pitas. Try these recipes:
Swap sides for soup. Broth-based soups are not only flavorful, filling, and comforting on cold nights - they're also potentially packed with nutrients, making them a healthy addition to the dinner party menu or potluck buffet. Soup is easy to make beforehand and reheat at party time - lightening your workload. Try these recipes:
Swap seconds for a conversation. Instead of heading to the buffet table for a second plateful of goodies, sip a glass of water while introducing yourself to a guest you’ve never met. The water will help you feel full, and the pause between platefuls will give your body a chance to register whether you really have room for another slice of pie.
Swap guilt for fresh air. When you mark a party on the calendar, schedule exercise at the same time. A long walk or extended gym workout the day before and after the event will help balance out the extra calories – and by making time to exercise rather than wasting time fretting over what you ate, you’ll reduce holiday stress and get an added energy boost.
