KJ: Where can the 300 lb. woman begin in the kitchen?
T. Reno: First, she can read my book, follow the grocery checklist that’s provided, buy Eat Clean foods, and use the recipes. I have an Eat-Clean Cookbook coming soon.
KJ: We’re going out for a last minute dinner. What can I order?
T. Reno: I like to make friends with the waiter. Have a look at the menu; choose foods with out butter, sauce, mashed potatoes. Ask for everything dry, with slices of lime to squeeze on. Often I ask for a double helping of steamed vegetables. Also, avoid the bread basket.
KJ: Tell me about the UGLY foods. What makes them “ugly”?
T. Reno: I list 10 in The Eat-Clean Diet. These are calorie-loaded, nutritionally void foods which provide a burst of flavor, but for the long term are shortsighted foods. They are ruinous to the body, and contain sugar and transfats, which have no place for them in the body.
KJ: As a mom, what do you do to get the kids to eat veggies?
T. Reno: I hide them in everything. I hide squash inside tomato sauce and serve it with pasta. This doesn’t alter the flavor. Often, I roast vegetables with garlic. I have always given 2 choices of vegetables on the plate. There’s no junk in my house.
KJ: Do the kids complain?
T. Reno: No, they want to be in shape and look great. They’re teenagers now.
KJ: Would you like to say something about the childhood obesity epidemic?
T. Reno: For the first time in history there is a very real possibility that children will not live the long lives their parents did thanks to the epidemic of obesity here in the USA and worldwide. The WHO (World Health Organization) coined the new term “globesity” to describe this ever growing trend. My goal is to help North Americans lose unwanted fat one pound at a time, for good.
Note from Kelly: The Eat-Clean Diet book is softbound. I usually report on hard-covers, but this “little book that could” is not only affordable, it is a best-seller, includes dynamic photos and mini blocks of information. For improved energy and weight loss, read The Eat-Clean Diet. The Eat-Clean Diet Cookbook will be available to the public September 2007.
