Eat This, Not That

I saw this book a cousin of mine had a year or so ago. It is really interesting, I forgot all about it until I picked up a Men's Health magazine and was reminded of what a great tool it is.

Here are some examples of food we think is healthy, but not really so... they offer a different choice that is better for you.

Eat this, Not that!
Beyer's All Natural Butter Pecan ice cream, NOT Haagen Dazs Butter Pecan ice cream. (half the calories, half the fat) Haagan Dazs makes the most consistently high-fat, high calorie ice creams in America

Oscar Mayer Americas Favorite Bacon, NOT Oscar Mayer Turkey Bacon. (Turkey bacon has more sodium and takes 13 ingredients to make it, and a LOT of processing)

Triscuits, NOT Wheat Thins reduced fat. (Wheat thins have refined flour and four times as much sugar as they do fiber)

Annie's Naturals Organic Buttermilk Dressing, NOT Hidden Valley Ranch. (They say Ranch is one of the most dangerous things to have in your kitchen. The organic has half the calories, and is lighter than most vinaigrette's)

Horizon Organic Mozzarella String Cheese, NOT Kraft LiveActive Cheddar Cheese Sticks (Mozzarella is one of the most consistently low calorie, high protein cheeses in the dairy case. LiveActive has 50 percent more calories, and twice the fat of the mozzarella)
