Good to see a diet book that does not downplay the importance of complementing the dietary efforts with a suitable training regime.

I absolutely love this book as well as Tosca’s cookbooks and companion journals. I’d tried going low carb (being from an Italian household, this was a terrible idea!) and every other fad diet out there. I got a real push after reading the Eat-Clean Diet, it makes a lot of sense and is not a restricting as a low-carb diet, I still eat good carbs! Whole wheat pasta, brown rice, and desserts! I made molasses bread pudding last week from her first cookbook, it was delicious! I’ve lost almost 80 pounds by following this diet, and while this may seem like any other fad diet out there, I’m telling you it worked for me and now I’m focusing on maintaining my weight, and still following the ECD for my maintenance. It’s a lifestyle change, and it’s a lifestyle I feel better about and look forward to eating great, healthy, fresh foods every day!

I agree, Tosca Reno’s diet and other similar diets are the most effective. If you want to lose weight you have to eat healthy food, and Tosca Reno’s diet is all about it.

I agree- you have to be able to know the “good” fats from the “bad fats”. We need a little fat in our diets, just the right kinds at the right times. Great review of the book!!

Yes, as I said, there are plenty of ‘good’ fats, which is the key—it’s the saturated fats, cholesterol, and trans-fats you have to be careful with. This book, South Beach, Oldways… pretty much every decent source is very clear on that. You’ll find plenty of olive oil and the like in here, just as you will in any good, balanced diet.

One approach of many. Nothing wrong with fat in your diet (try doing some research with actual medical documentation instead of other fad books). If it works for you, great…it won’t work with most people (like all the other diets…fad or otherwise).

Very nice that it advocates eating unprocessed foods (which is the key).

BTW, I’ve been low carb for over 5 years, great shape, great weight (actually hard to find clothes that fit my height but not overweight), and blood work numbers that make most of the population jealous. So much for low carb being bad…
