THURSDAY: Eat This, Not That

This is the sort of book you will want to keep in your car for those trips to the grocery store or when you are waiting in the drive through line. The advice is very practical. It does not assume that you will only eat vegetables in your efforts to be healthy. It assumes that sometimes you will eat out and helps you pick the healthier choices at various restaurants. It assumes that your kids will snack on things other than fruit, so it helps you pick the healthier choices at the snack aisle. There is a lot of information in these books - things about the food pyramid, ways to cook the less-standard vegetables so your family will eat them, and information on fruits and vegetables in the colors of the rainbow. You will want to read it several times to absorb all of the advice so that you can make your own healthy choices in the future.
