Description
With her Eat-Clean Diet, Tosca Reno went from being overwhelmed and overweight to modeling a bikini, but her seventy-pound weight loss and body transformation didn’t happen overnight; even Tosca needed a simple approach, a place to begin. Now she reveals her secrets so that you can begin your journey to safe weight loss and optimal health. Start now with The Start Here Diet!
 
Tosca knows what it’s like to feel ashamed of your body: At her heaviest, she hid behind bulky clothes and rarely had her picture taken. Her blood sugar level was like a roller coaster, and her heart rate was far from normal. Tosca was so focused on taking care of her family that she neglected her own needs. Then she started making slight adjustments in her everyday life—small changes that brought about big results. In this exciting book, she shares the three easy-to-follow steps that helped her get her life back on track:
 
Step 1: Dive Inward. Identify the emotional triggers for your overeating, the self-defeating “self-talk,” and the underlying reason why you really want to shed the pounds. Sharing her own internal dialogue—including excerpts from the journal she kept at that time—Tosca will help you overcome these internal barriers in a completely unique, accessible way.
 
Step 2: Uncover Your Hidden Foods. Do you have a food you think you just can’t live without? Or something you eat mindlessly and often? These are your “hidden foods” and they are sabotaging your best efforts to lose weight and keep it off.  Through Tosca’s transformative process, you will once and for all identify the empty-calorie foods that have added extra pounds and replace them with nutritious foods you can enjoy without weight gain.
 
Part 3: Move a Little! The Start Here plan doesn’t require you to join a gym or do lengthy daily workouts. Simply choose from Tosca’s list of fifty basic movements to strengthen, tone, and improve your health. These are exercises you can fit into the rhythm of your busy life. Moving a little for even fifteen minutes a day will help reshape your body and put you on a path to weight-loss success.
 
Like a good friend and trusted mentor, Tosca will show you how to believe in yourself again, forgive yourself, and imagine a life of joy you thought was out of reach. Her Start Here “essentials”—shopping and cooking tips, meal plans, and thirty delicious recipes—will help you learn to eat to nourish your body, not just to feed it. As Tosca says, The Start Here Diet is all about cherishing you—and you are wonderful!

The Start Here Diet
fullDescription
With her Eat-Clean Diet, Tosca Reno went from being overwhelmed and overweight to modeling a bikini, but her seventy-pound weight loss and body transformation didn’t happen overnight; even Tosca needed a simple approach, a place to begin. Now she reveals her secrets so that you can begin your journey to safe weight loss and optimal health. Start now with The Start Here Diet!
 
Tosca knows what it’s like to feel ashamed of your body: At her heaviest, she hid behind bulky clothes and rarely had her picture taken. Her blood sugar level was like a roller coaster, and her heart rate was far from normal. Tosca was so focused on taking care of her family that she neglected her own needs. Then she started making slight adjustments in her everyday life—small changes that brought about big results. In this exciting book, she shares the three easy-to-follow steps that helped her get her life back on track:
 
Step 1: Dive Inward. Identify the emotional triggers for your overeating, the self-defeating “self-talk,” and the underlying reason why you really want to shed the pounds. Sharing her own internal dialogue—including excerpts from the journal she kept at that time—Tosca will help you overcome these internal barriers in a completely unique, accessible way.
 
Step 2: Uncover Your Hidden Foods. Do you have a food you think you just can’t live without? Or something you eat mindlessly and often? These are your “hidden foods” and they are sabotaging your best efforts to lose weight and keep it off.  Through Tosca’s transformative process, you will once and for all identify the empty-calorie foods that have added extra pounds and replace them with nutritious foods you can enjoy without weight gain.
 
Part 3: Move a Little! The Start Here plan doesn’t require you to join a gym or do lengthy daily workouts. Simply choose from Tosca’s list of fifty basic movements to strengthen, tone, and improve your health. These are exercises you can fit into the rhythm of your busy life.

Her Start Here “essentials”—shopping and cooking tips, meal plans, and thirty delicious recipes—will help you learn to eat to nourish your body, not just to feed it.

        Motivational speaker and weight-loss specialist Reno, author of the Eat-Clean Diet series, returns with a laid-back weight-loss plan that can be utilized by anyone—whether the goal is to drop 10, 20, 30, or even 100 pounds. The secret, says Reno, is a three-prong plan that explores the emotional component of weight gain and loss and identifies what’s behind it (“diving inward”); recognizes and removes “hidden foods,” or the one, two, or three foodstuffs that have particularly promoted your weight gain and sabotaged diet efforts; and increases physical activity just by “moving a little,” even if that means spending a quick 15 minutes washing your car windows or doing leg lifts while sitting on the couch. In addition to providing practical tools for implementing this plan, Reno offers suggestions for how to maintain a clear head and emotional balance through journaling; utilize both real-life and online support systems; rethink grocery lists; and choose the exercises you’ll stick with and enjoy. The book includes day-by-day and week-by-week plans for meals and “workouts,” and easy-to-prepare recipes, but, in keeping with Reno’s “baby step” approach, all can be tailored to one’s personal needs. Reno, who lost 75 pounds after age 40 on this plan, promises a pragmatic program and she delivers. Agent: Yfat Reiss Gendell, Foundry Literary + Media.

        Reno (Eat-Clean Diet) lost 75 pounds after the age of 40. This title takes readers to the beginning of her weight-loss journey, beginning with the emotional aspects of weight gain and the fear and loneliness that accompanied it. Reno's plan consists of three simple steps: "dive inward"--focus on what is behind the weight gain and the desire to lose weight; "uncover your hidden foods"--remove foods that sabotage healthy eating; and "move a little"--fit a handful of activities into an everyday schedule. Integral to the plan is the act of journaling, and questions to answer are sprinkled throughout. The second half of the book covers the practical aspects of incorporating the diet into a daily routine, including suggestions for grocery planning, cooking, and shopping. Customizable daily sample menus, movement activities ranging from cleaning the tub to circuit training, and recipes (Hawaiian chicken burgers, lemon and herb-crusted cod) are also included. VERDICT Reno's combination of journaling, healthy eating, and moving is both a gentle and a practical approach to weight loss.--Pauline Baughman, Multnomah Cty. Lib., Portland, OR
