Maureen was having a hard time Eating Clean, but when she finally got going the results motivated her to stay the Eat-Clean course.

Good Morning Tosca,

Everyday before I wake my children, I pop downstairs to my computer to check your blog. This morning on Facebook you mentioned you were looking for some updates.

I bought your Eat-Clean Diet® book at Christmas last year as a gift to myself. I spent all my spare time over the next few days reading all of your wonderful words and decided I can do this. I had already lost over 35 pounds a few years before and managed to keep it off just by eating smaller portions and exercising.

So I made the changes for my family and saw so many changes in my body and my family’s as well. My children are 10 and 12. Our daughter Deanna has always been a skinny little thing and Eating Clean (I thought I was feeding them well before) has put some fat on her body and she looks so healthy now. Our son Jeremy has always struggled with his emotions and suffers from OCD as well as a few other issues. Since Eating Clean he is doing so well and Mr. Picky-Eater loves the changes. He is a new little man now. Thanks to you.

I have to admit that until 8 weeks ago I was still not truly Eating Clean. I was not eating any junk or foods but I was not eating enough. I would eat every few hours but not enough. I was still so afraid of putting the weight back on. When I started eating the way you suggested I saw great results. I have more energy to work out (great options each month in Oxygen magazine) and I look great. Just starting to see more definition all over and well my hubby loves it.

I was even surprised when I lost a few more pounds. I am still working hard to see more abs but I know that will come. I can't thank you enough for all your guidance. I was once told that when the student is ready the teacher will appear. Thanks for being that teacher.
