We are all at that point again where we are setting new goals for ourselves. We want to start the new year off right. We want to learn to eat well, to exercise more, and to be better to our bodies in as many ways as possible. All of these books and magazines floating around can be so overwhelming so how are we supposed to know where to start?!?!
Enter Tosca. When it comes to eating right, Tosca Reno is THE QUEEN. I haven’t always had the best relationship with food, I won’t lie. I used to eat whatever I wanted, as long as I didn’t go over my allotted calorie goal for the day. Sure, I was skinny but I still never felt right. I came across Tosca’s books a few years ago and was hooked immediately. Everything finally made sense. Feeling good involves eating real food. Eating 5-6 times a day is not scary! It’s all about keeping your metabolism revved up throughout the entire day by feeding it small, wholesome meals in 2-3 hour intervals. GENIUS. You know what else I learned? Eating well actually tastes great! You already know about my love for her eat clean pancakes, but the love doesn’t stop there! A few of my other favourite recipes from her books include hazelnut espresso cookies, curried lentils, and black bean patties. YUM.
Eating Tosca’s way, I never feel hungry. I never get cravings. I always feel satisfied and ready for what my day will bring, especially my workouts. That’s right, you need fuel to power you through those intense training sessions (something else Tosca taught me). If you didn’t already know, she is a machine. The abs on her…the glutes…her legs…stop me now. Seriously, she is a smokeshow. Women will not turn into the hulk by lifting heavy weights (surprise!). Combined with effective cardio sessions, strength training (and eating right) will make you look like Tosca. Every girl’s dream.
I had the honour of meeting Tosca’s husband, Bob Kennedy, mastermind behind the Clean Eating series, Oxygen Magazine, and other fitness publications that you can find here. He was kind enough to set some time aside to show me around the office where they make everything happen for us readers.
BFFs
He even showed me some of his paintings hanging around the building that he paints himself! He is a man of many talents! Here we are with his Lady Gaga:
Want to know what else is cool about Bob?? He is hooking you up BIG TIME.
I left the office with a box.
What’s inside the box?
Yup, Christmas came early for you!
Here is how it’s going to work. This giveaway is going to be open starting now and will run until December 24th. From Sunday to Saturday next week, a winner will be announced each day and will be able to choose two books based on what is available. There are going to be 7 WINNERS!!!
What do you need to do to enter?
Do any one (or ALL) of the following:
+1 Like my Facebook page and leave me a comment! It’s where you will find updates on the giveaway and where the winners will be announced.
+1 Like The Eat Clean Diet on Facebook and tell Tosca I SENT YOU and that both you and @The Athletarian want her abs of steel.
+1 Share this giveaway via Facebook, Twitter (using @TheAthletarian @toscareno @eatcleandiet), Blog, or smoke signals. Whatever floats your boat.
The more things you do, the more chances you have to win!
Good luck and Happy Holidays from me, Tosca, Bob, and the rest of the Eat Clean Team!
