Not quite what I expected. (2009-07-01)
I only gave it 2 stars because I thought "eat clean" meant something different I guess. I pretty much already eat like what's in the book, so it was a little disappointing. The receipes tend to have a lot of ingredients(herbs and spices, etc). There's nutritional blurbs throughout the cookbook.

Eat-Clean Cookbook review (2009-06-27)
Just started my own "eat-clean" diet. It will be a tremendous help to have actual receipes I can try. I was gettting tired of eating nothing but salad!

Best Eating Plan by Far!!!!!!!!!!!! (2009-06-26)
Simply put, I have been on hundereds of diets, I have tried every single plan out there for the last 40 years of my life. I have struggled off and on with losing 15 to 20 pounds With different degrees of success. Some work better than others. Then I happened upon the Eat-Clean method of eating and I can tell you I have never in my life been more satisfied and full throughout the day. The plan calls for eating 5 times per day, and the food you eat is simply amazing for your health. I know this plan is not as widely known as some of the others out there, but it is by far the best. I have purchased every book on this topic by Tosca Reno and I would encourage you to do the same.As a 56 year old man I have never felt better!!!!!

Positive book review (2009-06-10)
We are really enjoying Tosca's recipe book. The recipes seem very simple to prepare and I know we will have fun experimenting with some new ingredients that we haven't used in the past. The recipes we have tried so far have been great!

Great Recipes, Easy to Make (2009-06-08)
The cookbook is a companion to Reno's diet book titled The Eat-Clean Diet, however, I have not read the diet book and have been using the cookbook on its own with no problems.

I have many cookbooks that are collecting dust on my bookshelf. The recipes seem appealing at first, but most contain ingredients that I've never heard of and cannot find in a regular grocery stores. This is where The Eat-Clean Diet Cookbook stands apart from the pack - the recipes are delicious, easy to make, and contain ingredients that you don't have to spend hours searching for. Most of the recipes can be prepared very quickly, and the helpful clock icons at the bottom of each page tell you exactly how much time you will need.

More important than the simplicity of the recipes is the fact that Tosca concentrated on making each one healthy and good for you. As the title suggests, The Eat-Clean Diet Cookbook meals are made using clean or non-processed foods. These recipes are chock full of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins.

Tosca is the prime example that eating clean is a great alternative to restrictive diets that never work in the long run. By eating clean and following simple principles mentioned in her diet book, Tosca went from a 200-pound depressed housewife to losing over 70 pounds and looking and feeling 20 years younger.

I've made many The Eat-Clean recipes and all were delicious, nutritious and got plenty of raves from guests!
