Eat Clean, Stay Lean: 300 Real Foods and Recipes for Lifelong Health and Lasting Weight Loss

I checked a physical copy of this book out of the library to evaluate it, before deciding to buy the Kindle version. While I would give the physical version 4 stars, I deducted one for the Kindle version due to various issues.I'll start with the good. I tried several recipes from this cookbook, and all were good. I recommend the Chicken-Veggie Ramen in a Jar (I cooked it for dinner so I used broth instead of water + bouillon powder), which my husband really liked. The Almond Chai Scones were good, as was the Cremini Egg Drop Soup. The Slow-Cooker Tempeh Curry With Cauliflower was okay, but not great. The Black Bean and Mushrooms Burgers tasted fine, but the texture left something to be desired.I docked the book one star due to what was omitted. As others have pointed out, there is no nutritional info at all. Given that this is a health food cookbook, this omission makes no sense. Another omission was some basic recipes. Each section introduces an ingredient, like BBQ sauce. It lists the not-clean version of the ingredient, the the clean option, and the cleanest. In several cases, like BBQ sauce, it lists the cleanest version as the store-bought variant, as opposed to the homemade option and then doesn't include a recipe. They list homemade veggie burgers as the cleanest options, and include recipes. They list homemade broth as the cleanest options and include recipes, including one for bone broth. But for several simple ingredients, like nut butters and BBQ sauce, among others, they recommend store-bought packaged products and don't include recipes. It's really puzzling.I also deducted one star for the Kindle version, which is really, really frustrating to use. The Table of Contents lists the sections in the book - Fruits and Veggies, Proteins, Grains, etc. When you select one of the sections, it takes you to the beginning of that section. There's no linked list of recipes either at the beginning of the section or the TOC. You have to page through the whole thing to see the recipes. There's also no index. So again, there's no way to go locate and go directly to a recipe. To make matters worse, the way the recipes are organized makes it incredibly difficult to find anything. For example, Honey-Soy Glazed Baked Tofu with Veggies is under Pantry Staples and Cooking Styles. So is Porcini Mushroom Manicotti with Homemade Ricotta Cheese. Slow-Cooked Pulled Pork Sandwich with Citrus Garlic Aioli is under Grains, presumably because it's served on bread (although the bread is listed as optional, and bean burgers, also served on rolls, are filed under Proteins). This is something that can be easily fixed, and I hope it is. But for now, that's a serious issue.In short, a pretty good cookbook. Good, quick recipes for weeknights, by and large. Most appear to be for two people, which is a plus for my two-person household (but if you have kids, be aware that you may have to scale recipes up). Avoid the Kindle version.

This book is very informational and everyone should read it to get at least some information of today's food we eat and what to look for when you are in the store to make sure you make healthy choices for you and your family. Lots of wonderful very easy to make and very healthy receipts. I have bought this book for myself, for my family and several friends. Also I have shared information I've learned from this book with many others. My family and I are very much into healthy eating, but we did not have so much information about how to look for the better food in the stores, which is very important to know and I feel good about knowing it. I am looking forward to next book by Dr.Wendy BazilianThank you!Dr. Bazilain is great and she knows so much more than any doctor I have went to. No doctor gives you such a good advises (or if nay at all) on the food we eat and how we need to change our diets to stay healthy.

Healthy eating

Usually when I buy cookbooks, I end up not using many of the recipes, but with this one, things are different. The ingredients in many of the recipes are ones that I already use -- like coconut milk -- but I hadn't thought of combining them in the ways suggested by these recipes. For example, using coconut milk to make an egg frittata; it tasted great and was so easy! The sweet potato and kale dish made with coconut milk and a touch of lime juice was also quite tasty and a great hit. This is great way to include healthy fats into your diet in uncomplicated recipes that don't take that long to make. So far, real good.

I borrowed this book from the digital library and liked it so much that I bought a digital version of it. I now wish I had bought the paper version as I refer back to it for recipes or just to look up something. It would be much easier with the paper version. I've gotten a lot of good information from this book. It's not complicated and makes sense. I'm a vegetarian and although it does have references and recipes for meat, that's not the whole of the book. I'm very happy with the purchase. Whenever I get over paying for something I already have (albeit in a different format), I'll probably buy the paper version too.

If you try the Prevention 21 Day Challenge and want to keep going with the program this is a great book. I only gave it a 4 star because the calorie and nutrition counts for the recipes are not included and I believe it would make the book that much better.

Book in great condition, delicious recipes.

Book is really nice, helping to understand the difference between regular foods and organic and just a healthier choice to make. Wish there were more recipes.

Good book to own.

Pretty good book. Quite informative and interesting. Good ideas for new recipes. A companion to the wheat belly as we do not eat any wheat, rice, corn beans etc.

Excellent book.

Very informative. Thank you
