"They had to eat at a restaurant, and that was always dicey. restaurant food could trigger a cycle, and Liza wanted Alisa to be at her best for the appointment. This wasn't the first time Bill had frustrated Liza by trying to economize. He seemed to be appalled at how much Liza was spending on Alisa's treatment, some of which wasn't even effective. Supplements alone often cost hundreds of dollars every month, and their insurance wouldn't cover many of Alisa's biomedical treatments. Bill had recently implored Liza to return to work." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"The researchers found that the frequency of consuming restaurant food was positively associated with body fatness, total daily energy intake, and fat intake. Two recent studies [203, 204] show that higher levels of fast-food consumption are positively associated with BMI cross-sectionally and with greater increases in BMI over time. More such studies are warranted to assess whether frequency of fast-food consumption and eating out is related to the secular trends in obesity prevalence in the United States and globally." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.) "Overeating in America: Association between restaurant food consumption and body fatness in healthy adult men and women ages 19 to 80. Obes. Res. 7, 564-571. 203. Taveras, E. M., Berkey, C.

"Most restaurant food is high in what Americans should be eating less of—saturated fat, trans fat, and salt—and low in nutrients. Moreover, restaurants exploit our natural inclination for flavor. According to the NRA, two out of three consumers say that their favorite restaurant foods provide flavor and taste sensations that they cannot easily duplicate in their home kitchens.8 And no wonder, since many chains use chemical flavoring additives many of us have never heard of, let alone use at home. This is exactly how restaurants hook customers and keep them coming back for more." - Michele Simon, Appetite for Profit: How the Food Industry Undermines Our Health and How to Fight Back (Get the book.)

"The essential difference between take-out food and restaurant food, he says, is this: in restaurants, food is cooked (or the cooking gets finished) only when you order it, but take-out food has to be prepared in advance. City Bakery makes all of its prepared foods first thing in the morning, keeps them well refrigerated, and brings them out as needed during the day. So Maury's challenge is to guess how much food customers will buy in any one day. If he makes too little, customers will be disappointed. If he makes too much, he has to throw it out." - Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.)

"However, it does not mean you should eat more Italian restaurant food. The Mediterranean diet reflects food patterns in the early 1960s typical of Crete, parts of the rest of Greece, and southern Italy. This diet has shown tremendous benefit in fighting heart disease and cancer, as we .1 as diabetes." - Michael T. Murray and Michael R. Lyon, Hunger Free Forever: The New Science of Appetite Control (Get the book.)

"With the prevalence of salted processed and restaurant food, simply avoiding the salt shaker no longer leads to large decreases in salt intake for most people. Totally eliminating salt is more effective, but is quite difficult to achieve. Moreover, while an overview of the research found "There is no evidence that sodium reduction presents any safety hazards,"5 reports of short-term paradoxical increases in blood pressure in response to salt restriction have occasionally appeared.6 Therefore, people wishing to use salt reduction to lower their blood pressure should consult with a doctor." - Alan R.

"I do not advise eating or drinking like this on a regular 90 basis; yet, with our culture being the way it is, plus the poor quality of restaurant food, you may find it difficult to avoid an occasional dinner party where you eat too much or a night of indulgence at home. But if o you do decide to splurge once in a while, it is better to get that garbage u out of your system as soon as possible. An overnight "quick cleanse" is H the easiest and fastest way." - Dr. Edward F. Group III, DC, ND, DACBN, Health Begins in the Colon (Get the book.)

"And they certainly have no idea of the extent of its use in restaurant food. • Many waiters and waitresses think "made from scratch" means mixing a commercially-produced soup powder with water and warming it up to make soup. • At most restaurants, the cooks are even less informed about MSG than the waiters. They have no idea what ingredients are contained in the mixes they use to prepare foods for customers. • Few restaurants have ingredients lists available for customers. To obtain these, you have to be a real pest, which usually ends up annoying the people you're dining with." - Mike Adams, Grocery Warning: How to recognize and avoid the groceries that cause cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and other common diseases (Get the book.)

"You will be surprised that almost all restaurant food is microwaved. Make sure they do not microwave any of your food, including sauces and gravies. This is very, very common. If you have cancer, did eating microwaved food cause it? Well, it certainly appears that it definitely at least contributed to your cancer. If you stopped eating any food that comes out of a microwave oven will you be preventing yourself from ever getting cancer? Well, you are at least taking one of the causes out of the equation, so you are at least dramatically reducing your risk of ever getting cancer." - Kevin Trudeau, Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About (Get the book.) "This is the main problem with restaurant food. So, what do you do? Basically, you can be a fanatic and not eat in any restaurant unless it's an all-natural, totally organic restaurant, or you can simply eat really well at home and stay away from chains, franchises, and fast food as best you can. When you go to a good quality restaurant, simply ask if you can tour the kitchen and see some of the food being prepared. Most managers welcome this. It will give you a chance to meet the manager and/or the owner and inquire about how the different dishes are made." - Kevin Trudeau, Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About (Get the book.)
