 The last diet book you will ever need to read May 13, 2007

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 read the reviews and thought this book sounded great. It fell way short of my expectations. I would say that 40% of the book is useful information regarding food and supplements. 40% of the book makes you feel like if you ever put a morsel of food you actually like in your mouth ever again you will be a fat cow. 19% is repeated information you read in the last chapter and the last 1 % is recipes. 29 recipes to be exact. This chapter should have included at least 200 more recipes.
If I had to follow this book exactly as she outlines here I would rather stay fat and just not live as long. I would not enjoy life if every meal (6 of them every day!) had to be low fat, no sugar, complex carbs and a little piece of grilled chicken or egg whites. Who can do that every meal 6 times every day? I agree with her that we are all too dependant upon processed foods and reading labels for sugar content and trans fats is a great idea. But after reading this book I felt like changing my diet was harder and more overwhelming than ever before. I wanted to go open a bag of chips and just throw in the towel.
It would be more beneficial to me if she would lay out a plan on how to BEGIN to cut the bad foods (her list is long and merciless) and replace certain ingredients with more healthful options. A plan to slowly add new ingredients or talk about phasing out certian foods. Instead she cuts out everything you ever loved and replaces it with things you have never even heard of or tried and thought it tasted like wall paper paste. A few of the recipes look tasty and a couple of them look like my kids might even try it. But over all this plan is not realistic for a family with 2 small children and people who have long been eating junk foods. If I told my kids they had to eat a small piece of grilled chicken, two stalks of celery and a salad with only lemon juice for dressing they would pack up all thier worldy posessions and walk the 65 miles to their grandmother's house.

If you have ever read Oxygen Magazine (and if you're interested in this book--you probably have) don't waste your time with this. Instead, pick up the Winter 2007 Clean Eating Collector's Edition of Oxygen Magazine. You will find the same recipes, the same question and answers from Tosca, and the exact same advice. This is nothing new whatsoever and a complete rip off. I'm not the first to say it. Check out the other one star reviews.
She spends nearly the entire book expounding information you likely already know and gives you a whole two week eating plan. I'm beginning to think that both Tosca and her husband Robert Kennedy (yes, the publisher of Oxygen magazine) are only out to do one thing: make money any way they can--even if that means churning out the exact same info time and time again.
 More like a lengthy magazine article January 19, 2007

The book is a quick and easy read, and did have some good ideas. However, she repeats herself in several sections of the book. There just aren't too many ways to say eat clean. It works well as a motivator. If you subscribe to Oxygen Fitness magazine, you'll get many of the same type articles and recipes.
Book review: The Eat-Clean Diet: April 10, 2007

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.
