I dedicate this book to my daughter,
Kiersten, who inspired me to break it
down to just the rules!

Dear Dieter,

On a recent book promotional tour through far too many towns to remember, I had an Aha! moment. (I wonder if Oprah wishes she had copyrighted that term?) Anyway, I discovered something very important I noticed members of the audience looking confused when I suggested various ways to change ones lifestyle. For example, I would mention ditching sugar, then adding flaxseed, then eating five or six meals each day, oh and dont forget water. As one seminar followed another, I realized I was overwhelming these lovely people. And as friendly as I have tried to make The Eat-Clean Diet series, I also understand reading a 250+ page book on nutrition can be overwhelming, too.

Thats when it hit me. I needed to write a simple, fun, upbeat and portable book that would serve as a guide to help people begin embracing the Eat-Clean Diet lifestyle. I realized I may not be getting my message across in the most accessible way. Forgive me; nutrition is my lifes passion, and I tend to get too excited by the little details. Its time to go back to basics!

Just the Rules is that tool for you: the busy mom, truck driver, traveling sales executive, author, athlete, priest, student or whatever your job description may be. Youre short on time and low on attention span though you want to do the best for your family and yourself.

Though small, Just the Rules is packed with readily digestible information to help you get on the path to wellness. We condensed the information so you can pick up the book and get started no matter who or where you are. We have taken the frustration out of the process! My goal is to keep you from glazing over and to gently but firmly push you over the line to getting back the best version of you.

Remember who that is? It is you running, swimming, making love, dancing, playing with your kids and looking like life has blanketed you with radiant health and energy. People will notice and ask, What is different about you? What have you done? And you can whip out your little tool Just the Rules and say, I learned how to Eat Clean and I love it!
