The Eat Clean Diet Stripped: A Recipe


Once again I got an opportunity to review one of Tosca Reno’s Eat Clean Diet books.  I am so impressed with ALL of the books I have been sent for review AND purchased.  The newest book is The Eat-Clean Diet Stripped and it’s great.  Although I have a lot more than “those last 10 pounds” to peel off, there is so much valuable information in this book.

My favorite part of the book other than the recipes of course is the workout routine section.  I like the discussion on weights, cardio and fuel consumption.  One of my favorite things about the book are the images showing how to do different weight training moves.  There are so many health and wellness tips and meal planning ideas too.  The vegetarian section of the book could have had more to it but overall I think it’s another awesome book by Tosca.

And today I get to share one of the recipes from Tosca’s new book with you.  It sounded so good, I thought you might enjoy it.

Snack Smart this summer

Tasty Tuesday:  Time to snack smart this summer!

With swimsuit season quickly approaching, eating healthier and getting in shape for summer is top of mind for many people.  One important part of weight management is healthy snacking – eating light, often.  In fact, new research presented at the Experimental Biology conference this week reveals that low-fat popcorn is a smart snack choice for weight management.

The study, commissioned by ConAgra Foods, found that eating a filling but calorie-controlled snack, such as Orville Redenbacher’s 94 percent fat-free SmartPop! popcorn, will leave you feeling fuller and less hungry than snacking on the same caloric amount of milk chocolate.

The study found that participants who ate a 100-calorie portion of SmartPop! popcorn versus two nuggets of milk chocolate (also 100 calories) were significantly less hungry and more full, had less desire for a second snack, and were more satisfied with the amount of food after eating the popcorn.
