 Good, but not for everyone September 28, 2007

This book might be usefull for all of those who are new to dieting or who have no understanding of nutrition. Otherwise there is not much new in this book that you couldn't have read already in other books or in such magazines as 'Oxygen'. You can summerize the whole book by saying 'NO PROCESSED FOOD PLEASE'. For readers like myself this is just another title on a popular topic of dieting, which lacks on originality and depth. If you'd like to read something more original I suggest 'Can We Live 150'. You will find there great tips on proper food combination, and the chapter about obesity is probably almost all you need to know about dieting...

Most of this book's recommendations are familiar to me now that I've been reading and experimenting with healthy cookbooks for a while. It's a bit more stringent on the no-fat requirement than I'm used to, but it's all about good carbs, good fats, and combining carbs with lean protein to keep us feeling full. Where Agatston's South Beach Diet recommends three meals with careful snacking between, Ms. Reno replaces that with five or six small meals spaced throughout the day.
So what's new? What makes The Eat-Clean Diet a worthwhile addition to the stacks of diet books and healthy eating books already out there?
For one, it includes great lists of pantry goods, produce, etc. with which to fill your cupboards and refrigerator. It makes it easier to get into the swing of having enough yummy, healthy food around to keep you full and satisfied. For those people who don't yet understand all the information out there on processed sugars, saturated fats, etc., it introduces those concepts in nice, easy language aimed at your average person.
Tosca's cheerleading excitement and enthusiasm, while a bit jarring at first if you aren't into that sort of thing, is actually pretty infectious after a while, perhaps because it's tempered with helpful information as well as personal experience and doesn't feel empty.
About a third of the way into the book I realized why the book cover so closely resembles fad diet books. Tosca includes several stories of people approaching her wanting to know her "secret" to looking incredibly fit over 40 (lest you think she's one of those easily-skinny people, she lost the weight by getting fit and changing her eating habits just like the rest of us need to). These people inevitably believe there's some sort of magic pill, or a particular food they should eat or avoid (ie, a fad diet they should follow), and have difficulty believing the key is simply to eat the right foods.
Given her loathing of fad diets, I believe she deliberately wanted the book designed so that all these people who are looking for quick answers would pick up her book instead, and finally hear the things they really need to hear. After all, the people she most wants to reach are those who have been misled into thinking that fad diets are good.
One of the things that sets this book apart is the recipes. I admit that while her ideas are great, I found myself dubiously eying the pictured plates of raw veggies with no dressing and the like. I was afraid that her recipes would be similar---healthy, but lacking in any real appealing flavor.
Then we tried a recipe for parchment-baked fish that was absolutely delicious! The flavors came together perfectly in one of those recipes that's somehow more than the sum of its parts. (And I'm not the biggest fish fan in the world, particularly white-fleshed fish.) While this book doesn't include a huge number of recipes, it certainly gives you plenty of ideas, and it also includes two full-week menus from morning to night to get you started.

This book was not what I had expected. After over 65 pages, you still have no idea what this book is about? THe same information was said over and over again but it was nothing new (ie eat clean, eat proteins and crabs together, eat clean...) Buy Oxygen magazine instead - - Tosca writes a monthy article there and you can figure it all out by 1 or 2 of her articles. Could be difficult for a person new to eating healthy w/ the recipes.(ps I made 2 of the recipes in the back and the family hated it! And my family eats very healthy so this was not good for us!)
Solid information for getting off the diet merry-go-round... December 8, 2007

There are diet fads, and then there's just plain sound nutritional advice.. Tosca Reno's The Eat-Clean Diet: Fast Fat-Loss that lasts Forever! falls squarely in the second camp. There's not much here that would be new to anyone who has read a number of nutrition books in the past. But if you're looking to modify your diet to be more healthy and lose excess poundage, then this would be a good way to go about it.
Contents:
My Invitation to You; Clean Eating - A Funny Things Happened; Reno-vate Your Metabolism; Hydration - Water Everywhere; Breakfast - A Really Important Meal; Turn Your Back on Haute Cuisine; Taking It With You; Eat-Clean Kids; Ordering Out; Cheating - A Learning Experience; Supplements and Superfoods; Eat-Clean Menus; Eat-Clean Recipes; Clean Eating Q&A; Credits; Index
The book starts out, as most diet books do, with the story of how Reno went from a 200+ pound mess to a cover model who looks far younger than her actual age. She did this by following an "Eat Clean" philosophy. These principles, such as eating 5 to 6 smaller meals each day and avoiding overly processed foods, coupled with exercise led her to a body transformation that most of us would only dream about. Throughout the book, she shares the rationale behind her food advice, as well as offering up assistance when it comes to making wise choices to follow this same type of program. The combination of encouragement and wise choices makes for a solid eating plan that *will* be effective when it comes to losing weight.
I appreciated the fact that there wasn't an on-going sales pitch to buy a certain brand of vitamins or supplements that she just happens to sell. I've seen far too much of that, almost to the point that the book becomes a 200 page infomercial. She also has a style that works well to her target audience. She holds out hope to those who are struggling like she was. It does take awhile to figure out what she means by "eating clean", as there's no "here's the program, now I'll expand on everything" intro. I also see that many people might find her program hard, as the element of choice is where plenty of defeat happens (at least it is for me). You really do need to make wise choices within the framework for this all to come together at the end.
But having said that, it's still a solid read to help someone overcome the typical American diet.
If your an Oxygen Mag Reader - Skip the Book February 12, 2007

I was so looking forward to this book...but was very disappointed. I am a reader of Oxygen Magazine and this book was simply a repeat in glossy book form of every nutrition article ever written by the author of the book. I saw the exact pictures in the book as I did in the magazines.
If you do read oxygen magazine....skip the book!
However, if have Not read the magazines you would be better off just buying one "Clean Eating" special edition magazine by Oxygen which is half the price as the book.
