“Guide to Healthy Restaurant Eating is a great reference book to have on hand if you eat out in restaurants often. I finally am living in an area where most of the restaurants listed in the book can be found. I really need to get another one to keep in the car.”

“I consider Guide to Healthy Restaurant Eating to be a completely indispensible resource for a diabetic. I've found this book to be useful in two different ways: #1 for just browsing through some of the restaurants and menu items to give you an idea about nutritional information in general; #2 just pop in your suitcase or in your car when you travel.”

“Even though fast food gets a bad rap, there are ways of eating healthier when having to eat out and Guide to Healthy Restaurant Eating shows you how. It helps you find the real numbers for a large variety of chain restaurants/fast food and takes the guesswork out of carb counting. I have my favorites marked with paper clips. I don't eat out without it.”

“As a recently diagnosed diabetic, I find Guide to Healthy Restaurant Eating extremely helpful in choosing meals when eating out! We enjoy dining out with friends and I travel with my job, so eating out is a must. The book allows me to choose where to grab a quick bite to eat with confidence knowing that I am not sabotaging my sugars or lipids!”
