Editorial Reviews

To maintain a healthy diet requires thousands of decisions and food choices that not even the most comprehensive cookbook can provide. Tosca Reno's Just the Rules is based on one clear principle: "We all lead busy lives and it's easy to get caught up in the details—sometimes we just need a reminder of the fundamentals." The originator of the Eat-Clean Diet devised this inviting 112-page guide to answer your questions about when to eat, what to eat, how to eat, and how much to eat. An inexpensive way to put readers on track to a healthier you.
