The Eat-Clean Diet: Fast Fat Loss That Lasts Forever!

Since reading this book and applying the principles to my life, I've lost 25 pounds this year without even trying. I eat more food than ever before. The food is easy to buy at any grocery store and I even cheat a little and the weight just falls off. Its really great, after 12 years of post-pregnancy fat I'm looking slim & trim again. It really stablized my blood sugar and keeps me running strong all day long. My husband, a confirmed meat-eater, even enjoys the recipes I cook out of this book and the new Eat Clean Cookbook. THANK YOU TOSCA FOR WRITING THIS BOOK!

The author provides a health profile which includes approximately 80% nutrition, 10% training and 10% genetic predisposition. The strategy over time is to build lean muscle to increase the metabolic rate. Light weight training can aid in this process. A pound of muscle mass burns 25 times the calories as a pound of fat, according to the author. A mainstay of the program involves: - eating quality foods i.e. organic - eating smaller meals more often during the day - vitamins - good hydration - the use of herbs like cinnamon, tumeric and flaxseed oil - minimize or eliminate coffee/tea diuretics The book would be very helpful as a supplement to eating and exercise regimen. As such, it is worth the price charged.

I've pretty much read just about every diet book out there, and I like this one the best. No gimmicks, no calorie counting, just common sense. I've been told by numerous fitness trainers that diet accounts for 80-90% of how you body looks. I always thought there was no way they could be right - if I workout a lot I should be able to eat whatever I want. Wrong! This diet transformed the way my body looked. I finally lost those last 5-10 lbs that never seemed to budge no matter how much I exercised. I also have a lot more energy and don't seem to need as much sleep anymore. This book is not a diet though, it is a way of life.

I've been thru a number of muscle and fitness books, nutritional guides and health information. I'm familiar with most supplements that are recommended by bodybuilders, what diets bodybuilders follow and the concept of eating clean as well as different exercise regimines involving circuit, pyramid and area workouts. I liked this book because it presented information to people on a basic level, concise and thorough without being overwhelming. There were ideas for how to get started, how to prepare meals, foods to include/avoid, recipes to eat clean and even two weeks of menus to make it a no-brainer for those who know absolutly nothing but want to become fit. The exercise aspect was more her personal story than a workout plan but it provided basic guidelines such as being consistent and working a wee bit harder and wee bit longer each time to get optimal results rather than follow the exact same workout routine. The book is about eating clean though, and she makes this doable for the busy, overworked, overcommitted-in-life crowd with her simple but thorough outlines and recommendations.
