My Journey:
Dear Tosca,
My name is Stephen and The Eat-Clean Diet has given me my life back. I am 28 years old and have had a weight problem all my life. My weight started to become an issue at age 10. My parents tried to encourage me to lose weight but it got to the point where they couldn't even mention the subject without me being upset.
As I entered my 20s it became a much bigger problem than I ever expected. I didn't realize how big I was until I saw pictures. It got to the point where it actually became a problem too large for me to handle. I knew something had to be done because my health was at risk.
I weighed 386 pounds in July of 2010 when my aunt first introduced me to your books. She had read your original Eat-Clean Diet book three years before. Although she was always health conscious, she couldn't believe how easy the Eat-Clean Diet lifestyle was to follow and how motivating the book was just by reading it. She thought it was the perfect solution for my “growing” (excuse the pun) problem.
She gently offered to coach me. It was just the opportunity I needed and jumped at the chance before she could finish her offer. By my immediate response she knew how serious I was and that I would make a perfect student. And, not to blow my own horn, but I certainly did.
I know my weight loss is fast but it’s because I was doing everything wrong and now I’m doing everything right: eating every two-and-a-half to three hours, adding lots of water to my day, starting regular exercise and making sure every meal includes a lean protein with a complex carb. As a result, I’ve dropped 136 pounds in under eight months. I'm not done yet but the best thing about this is it's still so easy to follow.
I now have loads of energy and am always on the go. Gone are the days when I would have to scout out a secure place to sit when I entered a restaurant. Thank you Tosca! Thanks to you and my aunt I have my life back.
