Eat This Not That, No-Diet Weight Loss
Eat This Not That: Thousands of Simple Food Swaps That Can Save You 10, 20, 30 Pounds-or More!
Quick Glance
The Eat This, Not That plan isn’t exactly a diet, at least not in the normal sense of the word, but it is a weight loss theory that involves choosing what to eat and what not to eat - so in that sense, it is a diet.
Basically, it revolves around the idea that many of us gain weight because of the food choices we make at restaurants and grocery stores, not knowing that we are choosing items that are LOADED with calories. This plan’s goal is to reveal which of those foods are packing possibly half of an entire day’s caloric count, and which you should be choosing instead.
One example is that if you knew that a turkey pot pie from Swanson’s has 610 fewer calories than a turkey pot pie from Pepperidge Farms, you would be able to make the right choice the next time you reached into the frozen food bin at your supermarket. And if you continuously made those “right choices”, over time, you would lose weight just because you were armed with the facts you needed.
In this way, you are making less of a drastic change to your eating style, but make more of a change to your caloric intake.
Costs
Less than $15 for the book, plus normal grocery and restaurant food costs.
Sample Foods
Since this is about choices, it’s difficult to list sample foods. Instead, here are some sample choices:
- A McDonald’s Egg McMuffin has less than half the calories as the Hotcakes.
- Red bell peppers have twice the Vitamin C and 9 times the Vitamin A as green bell peppers.
- Krispy Kreme’s Very Berry Chiller has 500 calories less than the Mocha Dream Chiller
Online Diet Plans
When classifying a diet plan as "online", we mean that all of the program's detailed information, the meal plans and recipes, and all tools and support are accessed online via that program's web site. Of course, many will also supplement the online version with hard copy printed materials such as books and magazines, and may also include phone support. But the primary means of managing the plan on a day to day basis is via their web site. Check this area for both paid and free online diet plans.
Real World Support Groups
Real world diet support groups generally involve signing up with a program in which you attend meetings with people in your area, or visit a diet center near you on a recurring basis. These in-person, face to face types of plans are especially useful for those who are motivated by interacting with others directly, rather than virtually as in the online world.
DIY Weight Loss Plans
We classify plans as DIY (Do It Yourself) when they only involve the dieter and some materials, such as books, etc. If you don't want any kind of social interaction, support or a strict plan, you probably will do best by winging it on your own. DIY diet plans will focus mostly on obtaining plan material from books, cds and dvds, and are often what people are seeking when searching for the top 10 diets.
