STORY HIGHLIGHTS
- Tosca Reno champions a clean eating lifestyle
- Clean eating means avoiding all processed food
- It "really is a lifestyle change," Reno says
- Living healthy has helped her power through grief after her husband's death
Reno, the author of 13
clean eating books, says the secret to being healthy and happy is eating
clean. Her popular "Eat-Clean Diet" encourages individuals to drink
plenty of water and eat six small meals daily, including a combination
of lean protein and complex carbohydrates.
Put simply, clean eating
is avoiding all processed food, relying on fresh fruits, vegetables and
whole grains rather than prepackaged or fast food.
"It may sound
counterintuitive, but eating clean allows you to eat more and weigh less
because you are making smart food choices," Reno said. "I sometimes get
criticized for using the word 'diet,' but the Eat-Clean Diet really is a
lifestyle change that leads to healthy, steady weight loss and healthy
eating for life."
Love this quote:
Reno's advice to those wanting to change their lives is to first realize there is another way to live. "This could come in the
form of that 'a-ha' moment, when you suddenly catch a glimpse of your
lumpy reflection in a store window, or perhaps after you receive some
bad news at the doctor's office," she said."You just need that opening, that moment, when you finally decide to give yourself permission to change."
