The Clean 20 - by Ian K Smith (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

New York Times bestseller

From the bestselling author of SHRED and Blast the Sugar Out, the ultimate guide to clean eating!

What is clean eating? In his newest diet book, Dr. Ian K. Smith teaches readers the benefits of clean eating and how to implement it in their own lives. He tells readers how to easily reduce unhealthy processed foods in their diets, a key to weight loss, disease prevention, and overall health. The Clean 20 focuses on twenty clean foods--from avocado to whole wheat pasta and everything in between--that readers can easily find, prepare, and incorporate into their diets. The Clean 20 includes a complete clean eating program with a daily meal plan, 60 recipes and substitutions, as well as 20 minute easy-to-work-in workouts.

Dr. Ian knows what works: it's not eliminating food groups, but choosing foods within each group wisely to satisfy the palate and the body's nutritional demands. The Clean 20 isn't just vegetables. Grains are in. And so is fruit, fat, meat and fish. When palate and nutrition are in sync, weight loss not only follows, it sticks. The Clean 20 is a life and body changer.

Review Quotes

"A simple plan to help regular folks--rather than the extreme dieters among us--shed excess weight and live with a little more energy... This is for the average person who wants to make a change, hit that reset button, but not go crazy." --Men's Journal

"If you are a busy person and do not have much time to prepare your food, The Clean 20 is the solution. These recipes are not only healthy but also scrumptious. You are most likely to continue eating them even after the 20-day plan period. The Clean 20 is for the health-conscious people." --Washington Book Review
