I have been heavily weight-training for the past 4 months. And what's the good of a recipe book if the food in it tastes like garbage. I love cooking and have been doing so for years, but I have to say this could be the worst cookbook ever. Some of the ingredients may be hard to find, but if you're following this type of diet those challenges come with the territory.
I would recommend it over the Eat-Clean Diet book- not only are the recipes super-simple, they taste good. It's especially annoying since you don't have the tradeoff of super-simple recipes. At the same time I purchased this book, I got "Muscle Chow" by Men's Health. When I'm looking for something a little more challenging or complex for dinner, I just research recipes at [.]. It's geared more towards the inexperienced cook or a person without a great deal of time to spend in the kitchen. As part of it, my trainer encouraged me to eat clean- the way this book does.
I keep trying to like this book and I keep trying to cook from it, but ultimately the payoff is just not there for me. and modify them to be clean. Yes, the recipes are easy enough to follow and provide helpful tips for preparation. HOWEVER, the food doesn't taste good.
We've even given the book as a gift. Healthy, delicious recipes. My family and I love this book, and I love the high quality wipe-clean pages with beautiful color photos of every recipe.
I lost 6 lbs in the first week. I learned alot about just plain good eating. And the book provides wonderful recipes to help keep you on track.
If you try nothing else, take the time to make the Moroccan Chicken with Lentils (if you like savory foods, this will become a favorite). Without a doubt - the best set of "clean" (bodybuilding/fitness industry term for nutritious) recipes I've ever seen.
I would recommend it to anyone and I have. I really loved this book. When trying to count calories it doesn't help to know what the serving size is but know the calories/fat/ect. The only reason it got 4 stars is because some of the measurements for the servings was incorrect or not there at all. There are so many wonderful recipies. Every dish I have made from this book has tasted wonderful.
