A Busy Woman's Guide to Looking Good and Feeling Good
Rating: 
Bread of Shame I waited a month for this book to come back at my library after a cousin who'd tried every diet out there and still was frustrated with her minimal weight loss, told me this was it, she was now losing. She'd never felt better in her life and she was going to follow Reno's regimen for the rest of her life.
So I was excited when the book finally came in. I took it home and immediately started reading it. Tosca Reno weighed over 200 pounds, was unhappy in her marriage and had the world's slowest metabolism before she decided to "eat clean." One gets a hint that she's competitive, all right, when during her fleshy period, she jogged for hours, fruitlessly dieting. Now, that's hard -- jogging interminably when you're dieting -- so I realized right away that this Tosca babe is no ordinary woman. My cynical antennae went up, but I persisted reading. (The entire book took me less than an hour to read). Incidentally, it's gorgeous in terms of color and graphics. After all, what is more colorful than fresh fruits and vegetables?
Particularly amusing were the pictures of Tosca pre-clean and post-clean. For one thing there is not an ounce of flab on her post-body. Closer scrutiny reveals musculature any man would envy. Hmmm, I thought, this woman does SOMETHING I ain't willing to do. Turns out she's a body builder, and her ideas on nutrition and lifestyle emanate from that experience.
As one would guess, she argues for eliminating anything from the diet that is not natural: eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Avoid gluten products, exercise, exercise, exercise -- preferably get into body building. Cut down on coffee and tea; reduce your alcohol intake. Yawn. By now, you're getting the picture. This is a book about common sense eating practices. One we could all write, but we wouldn't have the credibility. We don't work for a body-building magazine, and we aren't gorgeous. Still, I'd be the last to discourage anyone from adopting Reno's regimen. Anyone who eats healthy, and I do, recognizes how important it is in reducing stress, sleeping well, brain functioning and basic happiness.
There was nothing on nutrition that I didn't already know and practice, but I must say it is advice we all need from time to time. If enough people take Reno seriously, perhaps the Food and Drug Administration will discourage the use of additives and encourage the American populace to place eating clean a real priority. It might be an obvious book with a simplistic format and scope, but there ain't nothin in it you can argue with.
Hats off to Reno for reminding women and men they can look good and enjoy life, too. And there's always the hope we can look like Tosca if we really work at it. Unfortunately some of us don't want to work that hard. Maybe we want to hunker down and read a literary novel instead?

Nothing Groundbreaking and a bit psycho.

This book is a good GUIDELINE on how to eat well and how to eat correctly. How she can call this a 'diet' is beyond me, this is far more then that, this is a lifestyle change. All the information she shares is helpful and makes sense but the total restriction of all foods 'fun' is a little too much for me to stomach. Instead of coming off as informative, Tosca at times comes across condescending. Her failure to realize that not all women and men want to compete in fitness pageants is bloody obvious throughout this book. It is worth reading though. I love life and I work out too much to not allow myself treats I enjoy. Life is all about balance and to me this book just showed the zero balance Tosca has in her life, how can one live so restricted and be happy? Sure a good body and health are very very important but isnt letting go important too? There are defiantly ways to eat well that are not as restricting but do follow her basic principals because they are ideal.

This is a book on clean eating. That is, eating as close to natural as you can. No processed foods, no fast foods, no artificial this or that. I love it! Tosca Reno is insightful. The food sounds yummy. This lifestyle WILL work. Healthier and easier than Atkins. Easier than any low carb. Not as strict/hard to follow and stick with as vegan or food combining.
Disappointing - ABS Diet much better
Rating:
I was hoping that this book would be a lot more helpful and informative. Reina has a great personal story for her transformation but I feel the book did a poor job really laying out the way to do it. It jumped from one subject to the next without giving clear instructions. She also seems very extreme in cutting out things entirely from your daily diet. I much prefer the ABS Diet. It is very informative and balanced in the information. I have studied nutrition for years and have not found anything better than the ABS Diet including The Eat-Clean Diet. I did like her chapter on supplements. I was introduced to some new things, such as bee pollen, and found this chapter informative. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this book because it seems very extreme and overwhelming for someone trying to make dietary changes.
