Clean Eating Cookbook: How I Lost 30 Pounds in 3 Weeks with Clean Food Diet

by Dorothy Enderson

Water, xylitol, modified food starch, cocoa processed with alkali, milk protein concentrate, hydrogenated vegetable oil, salt, sodium alginate, sucralose, acesulfame potassium, artificial flavor, artificial color. Sounds familiar? A quick Google search will reveal that these are the ingredients for a sugar-free instant chocolate pudding mix. But do you actually have any idea what these food ingredients really are? Are they nutritious? Are they even safe to eat to begin with? This is the irony of the modern diet. No matter how busy they are, people nowadays have easy access to food through pre-packaged frozen meals, to-go boxes and drive-through bags. But these are laden with hazardous preservatives (to prolong shelf life), sodium, sugars and synthetic additives (to improve taste, texture and appearance). Not surprisingly, lifestyle-related diseases like heart disease, diabetes and cancer are the leading causes of death in the modern world. Common sense dictates that prolonged exposure to harmful substances will definitely lead to serious health problems in the future. Still not convinced? Below are some examples of dangerous food additives.

Table of contents where chapters are broken up into recipes.
Lots of intro material about foods and why you should be eating them, due to vitamins they contain.
Lists food you should avoid and those you should have in your diet.
Each recipe starts with a title, medium size color photo and list of ingredients which you should be able to substitute for your healthier dietary needs: low sodium, low fat, low sugar and fresh vs. canned items.
Directions are given and there is NO nutritional information.
NO servings. Recipes do not always start at the top of a new page.
Other works by the author are highlighted and linked at the end of the book.

More of a pamphlet

This was not what I consider a book at all. I finished reading it and still have no real ideal how to lose the weight.

Very short, not much info. That it would be much more detailed. I do not recommend this book at all. There are better, more detailed books out there. Do not waste your money on this book.

I do not recommend this book to anyone. This book as very little info in it. It's a waste of money.

Simple to follow recipes.

The book jumped right into explaining the diet. The recipes were simple to understand. A few more recipes would have been appreciated.

There isn't a whole lot to this book. I don't see how outlining what you should avoid and giving a few recipes shows exactly how the author lost thirty pounds.
