The Eat-Clean Diet by Tosca Reno

First, I think the word lifestyle should have been used instead of diet. Don't you think that fits better? Plus, if you've done enough research you know that lifestyle changes is what makes the difference in weight loss and being healthier, not silly diets.

Some of the information is common sense: avoid foods that contain ingredients you can't pronounce, don't know, and/or are man-made chemicals. Drinking milk is to fatten up babies.

The contradiction of diet promises mentioned on pages 10-11 about omitting a food (Atkins mentioned)will allow weight loss, but you'll gain it back when you eat the food. Then on page 17 mentions going gluten free. I think there is a better way of mentioning going gluten free, since some people must avoid it.

The author suggests eating by the clock, six small meals daily, eating every 2-3 hours, instead of eating when hungry.

pg. 42 has an absolute fallacy saying It is possible to survive for weeks without food, but possibly, (I guess this being the key word), only one day without water.
Anyone who knows anything about survival knows this isn't true.

Signs of dehydration are: fatigue, lethargy, irritability, headache, blurred vision, lack of mental clarity, (doesn't this seem like most of society? perhaps due to too much coffee?), flushed skin, constpation, cystitis, back pain, excess weight, hgih cholesterol, cellulite, (really?! I think Jillian Michael's would disagree with this), water retention.

The book includes meal plans, menues, and grocery lists.

pg. 16 it mentions losing weight is 80% nutrition, 10% training/exercising, 10% genetics.

I'd recommend the book. It has a lot of good information.… (mer)
