I understand how hard it is to eat healthy while traveling. Dr. Steven Aldana and a panel of experts have taken a lot of the guess work out of the issue and have made it easier to make good choices. I realize there are days when you might just want to splurge and go for RED, but having an easy to understand guide of the best choices for good health while having to eat on the run is a sweet treat.

Mike Huckabeeformer Governor of Arkansas

Fast food is a reality for most people. Even the most conscien-tious eaters have to pass through airports and stop at roadside restaurants where healthy choices are limited. Stop and Go offers practical advice to help you navigate the fast food wilderness and make the best possible decisions about what to eat when in it.

Dr. Andrew Weil author of Eating Well for Optimum Health

Its about time a book like this is written! If it does nothing more than generate much needed discussion, its worth it. Try it for your guide.

FAST FOOD NUTRITION GUIDE

I think this book is great. Its a valuable tool for showing people that eating fast foods doesnt have to ruin your health. The color coding makes it very easy to sort out the good from the bad.

Shereen Jegtvigwww.nutrition.about.com

A book like this can do more for the nations waistline than a shipload of diet books. If consumers demand healthy fast food, the food industry can be a force for good, not bad.

Professor Jennie Brand-MillerAuthor of the New York Times bestseller The New Glucose Revolution

I will certainly use and recommend the Stop & Go Fast Food Nutrition Guide. The evidence is compelling and the 'Fast Food Factoids' are great additions throughout the guide, just in case on-the-go individuals skip over the Proof. This is a great quick reference tool to help consumers choose healthier options while on the run. Thank you for persisting to educate Americans on healthy living.

For millions of Americans, fast foods are a way of life. Although these foods typically taste great, healthy choices are often limited.

Fast food is an indelible part of the typical American diet, and while we nutrition experts generally regret this fact, it is unlikely to change any time soon. In this terrific book, Steve Aldana acknowledges this reality and shows that you can have your fast food and eat well, too! Using very sensible guidelines, he gives you all the information you need to make the most nutritious choices everywhere you go. My advice for those who frequent fast food restaurants, yet care about their health? Dont leave home without this book in your pocket, handbag, or glove compartment!
