The Eat-Clean Diet RECHARGED!

I just bought the new book by Tosca Reno.

I had the old one, but lent to a friend far away. I thought I would remember everything important, but those old habits keep trying to take back their familiar home in your brain!

I really like her books, very colorful (pretty pictures..ooh) I'm like a little kid when I pick out books I suppose.
They're easy to read and comprehend, because let's face it.. You need all the enticement in the world to read about completely changing your way of thinking. It's by far from an easy task.
So, those of you who don't know..About 7 months ago, I lost 20 pounds from this "way of eating" I like to call it, because I'm sorta anti-diet. I have never been able to lose weight before due to my hypothyroidism and I'm certain my extremely
sensitive tastebuds didn't help either. My main goal was just to feel better and be healthy and it works.
I loved the feeling of being in control of my body and my newfound resistence for all things super-tasty, but evil.
I've gained about 4 pounds back, which isn't bad at all, but I really miss the flat belly, I FORGOT TO MENTION the teeny waist I developed!
So, I'm on a mission to get back on the bandwagon. Not to be quite as strict as I once was, I do want to be able to be in a social situation without freaking out about a lack of something "clean" to eat. But, it's a slippery slope..Sometimes I feel if I'm not 100%, I give myself too much leeway and start really fudging things up...We'll see, eh?
