You bought this book because you wish to go on a low fat diet. There are two diets represented here that offer recipes that are naturally low in fat, the clean eating diet, and the belly fat diet. Each of these diets offers recipes that call for healthy nutritious foods like fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean meats and savory herbs. By going on a diet that is low in fat, you can safely lose weight while toning the body to become healthier.

To make the dieting successful you need to determine right now that this will be a lifestyle change. If you just diet long enough to lose the weight then go back to your same old bad eating habits, the weight and fat will pile right back on your body. But if you lose the weight, then make the way you eat a permanent change you will be able to maintain the weight loss better. Other things you can do will prepare for the diet and make the diet a success.

The first things you will want to do before starting a successful diet is to break your bad habits. Bad habits are health suckers, they make the immune system weak and cause you to be sick more. If you can break these before you diet, you will not have to focus on withdrawal symptoms, because you will already be over it. Bad habits that are detrimental to your health are smoking, excessive alcohol drinking, addiction to junk food, recreational drugs, and caffeine. All of these rob your health. Take the time to wean from each one so you can put all your focus on your diet. Sometimes it can take a while to turn your lifestyle around for the better.

While you are breaking the bad habits, go ahead and eat the foods on these diets, but if you are breaking bad habits work on those first. Start breaking the worse of the bad habits first. If you are addicted to recreational drugs, this is the right time to go off the drugs. You may need to seek professional help with this or use the methods described below to wean. The withdrawal symptoms of recreational drugs are a little bit worse withdrawal symptoms of the others. Seek professional help with weaning from recreational drugs.

Next, wean from excessive alcohol. It helps to wean slowly. Determine how many drinks you take in a day. The first week, drink half that amount each day. The second week, half again, the third week, either be down to one drink, or quit cold turkey. It is okay to drink one or two drinks a day if your physician says you can.

Likewise, try to break the other bad habits, smoking, caffeine, and junk food. Whether or not you stop all of the bad habits, it is up to you, but the one that must be broken for sure is the junk food habit, in order to make either the clean eating diet or the belly fat diet a success. Junk food habits can be broken at the same time you start the diet, however sugar is very addictive and your body will crave this food, wanting more of it. If you stop the junk without weaning, you will have intense moments of craving and a strong desire to cave in. Rather than go through this, why not start the diet while you wean?

Assess how much junk you eat in one day. Start by slashing that in half, and replace the other half with a nutritious snack. Eat this way for a week. Then continue, the 2nd week, slash the junk in half again, replacing the junk with a nutritious snack. Slash the junk consumption in half again the third week, replacing again with nutritious food. By the third week you should be on so little junk food you should have very little issues with stopping it completely by the fourth week.

Since you are wanting a low fat diet to help get rid of excessive weight and fat, let us talk about exercise. Exercise will take you further faster with the diet and the losing of the weight than if you just did the diet alone. Your body's metabolism will speed up if you exercise, helping it to burn the fat and calories faster. Because exercising speeds the metabolism, you will want to get up and exercise to burn the energy. Exercise does not need to be complicated. You do not have to join a gym and work out with a personal trainer. You can exercise right from your home, or go to a park. Just walking for a half an hour at a time will do your body a lot of good. The key to success with exercising is to spend at least half an hour at a time being physically active, every other day at minimum. That is just three days a week for an effective way to help the low fat diet be a bigger success.

Disclaimer: The information contained within this book is just that, for information purposes only. We are not medical professionals, but we do advise you seek the counsel of your health care provider before starting any new diet or exercise routine. You especially need their direction if you are going to try to break free from the bad habits you may have started. Once your health care provider gives you the go ahead, read through this book again and start planning your meals.

The two diet plans within this book are very similar. If you are weaning from junk food, you may want to include the clean eating diet during the weaning period. Once you are weaned from the junk food, go on the belly fat diet and make a goal to stick with it. But if you "cheat" and eat something junky, do not be upset with yourself. Just get back to the diet with the next meal and move on to losing the fat.

Have you ever wished that someone would write a cookbook that gives just the facts? All diets put an emphasis on their particular type of foods and how they are beneficial, but many real factors are often eliminated, in order to promote a specific diet. Look no further. The Clean Cook Book is designed to present not only facts about the food you eat, but give you real choices in giving your body the cleanest foods possible, and obtainable. Learn how flour, sugar, bread, and milk, are not always what they appear, and can contribute to a decrease in the function of your system.

In addition, discover how processed and genetically modified products have no real nutrition in the anatomy of humans, but were simply created to preserve and extend shelf life. Once you realize how one, two, or all of these foodstuffs can play a part in limiting a long and fruitful life, the real fun begins. Recipes that are unique, tasty, and great for your body, are categorized and presented with detailed instructions. Isn't it time that you made a conscious decision about what is healthy and what is not? Gather the information, use the list of substitutes, and know that you are doing all that you can to offer your body the nutrients it requires.

Let's Get Real

Fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meats, seafood and fiber-rich grains, all sound like a great start to eating healthy. But, let's be realistic. Who has the resources, money and time to track down all of these nutritious foods on a daily basis? Wouldn't we all love to live next door to a fresh market that could provide us with all the foods that diets insist that we need? The fact is, most of us try to pick up fresh items, when available and not too pricey, but the rest of the time, it's canned foods and cheap boxed pastas. Learn how to use what is available and to take advantage of those fresh foods when you can. Also, discover 10 healthy tips, in this informative book, for a cleaner way of eating.

Mind Controlling Foods

No, this is not a weird, conspiracy theory as to why we cannot lose weight. Nor is it a way to train your mind into being submissive over sweets and breads. It is simply an explanation as to how the human anatomy works. No one can argue the fact that your mind controls your hunger, or that it tells you what is tasty and what is rotten. There are certain chemicals that cause the brain to search for what the body needs. You hear a lot about hormones today and this is because hormones is the control center that tells your mind exactly what your body needs. Become introduced to these chemicals, how they interact with the brain, and why fad diets never seem to work.
