GIVEAWAY: The Quick and Clean Diet by Dari Alexander

So who made, Lose these unwanted pounds, as one of their New Years Resolutions? While I don’t make resolutions, I definitely need to lose a few pounds after having my last baby (just over a year ago ). It’s busy having four kids and a busy working husband, I find it hard to find the time to run (which I love) or to just exercise in general. I’d prefer to exercise first thing in the morning but I have very early risers and my kids get on their bus for 7:45 each morning so I’d have to get up at 5 to exercise! (I don’t see that happening ). So until things slow down I have to find other ways to change my body shape and weight and the first thing I need to do is change how I eat.

Dari Alexander, a Fox News Anchor, has written a book called The Quick & Clean Diet, which focuses on eating fresh, whole foods rather then pre-packaged, frozen, refined foods. But unlike other diets where you feel like your starving yourself, The Quick & Clean Diet lets you eat and eat foods that are tasty and satisfying. I’ve already been trying my best to switch my family over to mostly whole foods, so this “diet” shouldn’t be too much of a stretch for me, I’m looking forward to giving it a try.

So here’s a breakdown of the three stages of the diet:

High Motivation: is where you quickly lose weight, limit and control your cravings, and shrink your stomach. After three days you will be well on your way to a better looking you!

Grounding: is where you experience more weight loss while introducing yourself to whole grains, lean proteins, and good fats.

Stability: is where you evolve and develop into a healthy eating, living machine!

The book not only explains the diet, but it also explains the principles behind the diet and includes some tasty recipes and the whole guide to the High Motivation stage which is only 14 days long. If you’re looking to lose weight and want to change your life this is the book to read. I would recommend this to anyone looking to lose weight in a healthy long lasting kind of way. This book is right up my alley and since I’m already trying to make good choices for my family this just solidifies things.

The Quick & Clean Diet is available for purchase from Amazon, as well as other online retailers and be sure to check your local store as I’m sure it’s also available there
