 AMAZING WAY TO STAY HEALTHY AND LOSE WEIGHT October 19, 2008
I. Rodriguez (ORLANDO, FLORIDA)
I HAVE BEEN IN THE HEALTH AND FITNESS INDUSTRY FOR THE PAST TEN YEARS. THIS BOOK IS GREAT FOR THE AVERAGE PERSON LOOKING TO CREATE A HEALTHY LIFE STYLE. THE KEY IS THAT THIS ISN' A DIET. IT'S A LIFE STYLE. I HAD BABIES BACK TO BACK AND WEIGHED OVER 200 POUNDS. I WANTED TO GET BACK IN SHAPE BUT EAT REAL HEALTHY FOOD, NOT LIKE I DID WHEN I TRAINED FOR BODYBUILDING COMPS. I DISCOVERED TOSCA'S BOOKS AND FELL IN LOVE. BY FOLLOWING HER MEAL PLANS AND SCHEDULE TIME OF EATING, I LOST 33 POUNDS IN TWO MONTHS. I AM CURRENTLY ON TRACK TO BE AT MY GOAL WEIGHT IN JUST TWO MORE MONTHS. THESE BOOKS ARE FANTASTIC AND I HIGHLY RECCOMEND THEM FOR A LIFE STYLE CHANGE. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR GO GET IT.
Tosca Reno's Eat-Clean Diet Cookbook October 4, 2008

From: www.BasilAndSpice.com
This long awaited, eagerly anticipated cookbook is sure to please fans of Tosca Reno's overnight weight loss success story, who have been clamoring for more eat-clean recipes. Following up on the heels of best-seller The Eat-Clean DIET, which also included food guidelines and preparation ideas, The Eat-Clean DIET Cookbook takes readers to a whole new level of flavorful enjoyment.
The Eat-Clean DIET Cookbook features over 150 EASY recipes. Yes, they really are pretty easy, incorporating quicker stir-frys, crock pot cooking, handheld blenders, and food processors. Trying the Applesauce Oatmeal Muffins and the Power Oatmeal Pancakes, I found the recipes simple to prepare, low in sugar, protein adequate, and whole grain inclusive. Plus, my family loved them! Tosca Reno, herself a mom, knows the value of kid-approved meals. Many of the recipes are Canadian, Asian, and Mediterranean influenced, offering tastes for everyone.
Throughout the book, a bargain soft cover affordable to most, the Clean-Eating Principles Tosca Reno uses to maintain her weight loss, are applied:
Eat 5-6 small meals daily, every 2-3 hours.
Combine lean protein and complex carbs in each meal.
Drink a minimum of 2 liters/8cups of water daily.
Don't skip meals, especially breakfast.
Carry a cooler loaded with Clean-Eating foods for the day.
Avoid all over-processed, refined foods (white sugar, white flour), all trans and saturated fats, alcohol, calorie-dense foods with no nutritional value, sodas, colas, and juices.
Eat fresh fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats.
Eat proper sized portions.
The Eat-Clean DIET Cookbook is eleven chapters long, beginning with Tosca Reno's acknowledgement of a "globesity" crisis hounding North America and a recap of her story in the Introduction. She explains the need to be a voice that speaks against "Super Size Me." Other chapters include Breakfast; Soup; Grains; Sauces, Spreads, and Salsas; One-Dish Meals; Proteins; Vegetables; Pasta; Sweets; A Festive Occasion; and a Question & Answer section, which covers the most popular queries the author receives.
Tosca Reno introduces novel foods to readers--Vegetarian Chili (with dark chocolate as an ingredient), Yogurt Cheese, Olive Butter Spread, Wild-Grains Rice Pilaf (using a wheat berries and whole wheat couscous), and Quinoa With Oats. The photos of the dishes are dynamically maximized and beautiful.
Another noteworthy point are valuable charts and explanations. Such as, "What Does 25 Grams of Protein Look Like," which details the calorie count and amount necessary for preparation.
Tosca Reno, herself the "formerly fat housewife turned fit," understands what it takes to physically transform the body. She notes that the Journal of the American Medical Association suggests that 65 percent of North Americans are overweight. After weighing in at 200lbs plus and losing over 70lbs, Tosca Reno committed herself to eating-clean. The Eat-Clean DIET Cookbook is her testament to fantastic health.

Some of the recipes I think will take a lot of courage for me to try, but for those that I've already prepared-- I love. It's easy, simple, and CLEAN. It's not a diet, it's the way everyone should be eating-- healthy.
 AVOID this one September 15, 2008

Author Tosca Reno is married to the the publisher, owner of the notorious Robert Kennedy Publishing empire. Instead of just putting out 1 or even 2 volumes with all the info you need, they have created an "Eat Clean Diet" juggernaut, pumping out endless books rehashing the same info and filling up page space with tons of glossy, magazine-style pictures instead of condensing it down to just solid info, with a few illustrations. She says in no less than SIX BOOKS what could have been condensed into 1 or 2 at most - with more on the way!!!! There are now 2 versions of the original Eat Clean Diet book alone, plus a journal, a workout book, this cookbook, a "families and kids" book - and she's currently writing "The Eat Clean Diet for Men"! All of these are relentlessly hyped online, and in the couple's various magazines. Give me a break.
This "expanded edition" is totally unfair to all the customers who bought the original version, which has 90% identical info, with just a few extra sections added. She could have simply marketed a cheaper supplement to the original book, for her existing customers, instead of reaming them for full price again. GREEDY.
If you are an Oxygen or Clean Eating magazine reader (yes, both published by her husband), you'll have ALL the recipes you need within a few issues. Seriously. Don't waste your money on products from this exploitive publishing empire.
Instead, Google "Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle" by Tom Venuto. It's a single volume, COMPREHENSIVE downloadable e-book, with nothing but solid info - no superficial fluff, no illustrations, inspiring, easy to follow and implement. It's ONE BOOK containing the EXACT SAME INFO as Tosca is putting out in multiple books. You pay once, and that's it. You have all the info you need.
PLEASE DO NOT GET SUCKERED INTO MAKING THIS WOMAN AND HER PUBLISHER HUSBAND RICHER THAN THEY ALREADY ARE.
Great Recipes September 10, 2008

This book has a lot of great recipes for making otherwise boring and tasteless food appealing both to the eye and to the taste buds. It's great because it's all healthy for you to eat. I've tried a few recipes so far and my husband and I have liked all of them. Some of the ingredients may be hard to find for some dishes. I like a one stop shopping experience for groceries and some of the ingrdients aren't carried by my local Kroger. I do live in a smaller city so for the bigger stores you may have a better chance of finding speciality ingredients. The only thing that would make this book better is if there were alternatives listed for some of the speciality ingredients that can prove hard to find in small town USA.
