Now Eat This! Diet: Lose Up to 10 Pounds in Just 2 Weeks Eating 6 Meals a Day!

I have bought both of Rocco's cook books, and they are wonderful! It has been a struggle to cook healthy meals for two when my fiancé will only eat southern comfort food. There are plenty if recipes in both books to provide some healthier alternatives to his favorite dishes (he loves mashed potatoes, macaroni and chicken fingers). I would highly recommend these books. I can't keep the two books straight in my head, so I don't know which recipes are from this one for sure, but I just made the rocky road oatmeal the other morning and it was quick and easy and tasted sinfully yummy. My fiancé and I also both LOVE the loaded potatoe skins. Buy both books and you won't be disappointed. Yay Rocco!!!!!!!!!!!! It's kid friendly, too. :) and thanks Nate Berkus for the introduction to his books on your show.

I have had this book for a little over a month now and I love it! There are so many recipes to choose from for appetizers, lunches/dinners, snacks, and desserts! And they are very easy to make too! I don't have much cooking experience, and this book gives me the confidence I need when trying new things. These recipes do not lack flavor at all and I have not had to adjust any ingredients (unlike some cookbooks I have to adjust ingredients because I do not like certain things). I think everyone will find something that they like in this cookbook! Way to go Rocco for what is now my favorite cookbook!

The recipes are fantastic, the diet plan is easy to follow. I have, indeed, lost weight without serving my family stereotypical diet food and leaves. win-win. The book has a section about food, life and exercise as well as a very easy to follow plan to get started. I appreciate the comfort food adaptations and the freedom to pick and choose according to individual preferences. These foods come from someone who love food and has strugggled with weight, too. My only objection is that following the diet 7 days a week is highly labor-intensive, as every meal is cooked from scratch. So I use it for weekday dinners and follow it completely on weekends & holidays, using cereals, fruits & frozen low-cal lunches on workdays. The recipes are completely delicious, special enough for company and do help me look at food differently enough to order at restaurants with appropriate healthy changes to my meal. And yes, I love the original book just as much and use both sets of recipes often

So this book has a lot of great ideas, but it is very hard to stick to. First off, you have to find a store that sells all of the things you need ingredient wise. (Not as easy as some people would like you to believe.) Then there is the fact that, if you have any sort of diet restrictions, its hard to figure out how to substitute. I don't eat meat do to digestive troubles, same for dairy, so it's been fun trying to tweak the recipes. NOW, that being said, there are some great recipes in here, and if you can find the weirder ingredients, its fun to taste them. I'd probably opt for another one of his "Eat This" books and not necessarily the diet one. I mean, a lot of this book is dedicated to lifestyle, but most of us KNOW the lifestyle choices we have to change, and just want the yummy food that makes that possible!

I believe Rocco Dispirito is a National Treasure. I bought this book for members of my family for Christmas. Everyone of them said they loved it. We were all raised in Italian family's. We all began cooking Italian food with our mothers when we were very young & we loved it. Although we all have extensive cookbook collections, this book tops every cookbook we have ever owned. Everyone I know who is Italian absolutely loves this book --- not just the women, but the men too. His recipes are easy,low calorie & deliscious. The photos are outstanding. He takes you on his trip through Italy, visiting with Italian women in their homes, and changes their high calorie recipes to 350 calories or less. The photos of the recipes make you want to prepare them right away. I enjoyed the photos of all the Italian women he visited with & cooked with ---- they looked like they could be members of my family. This book is so much fun just to look through it before you even try the recipes. All of Rocco's books are great, but this one is the best of the best. I will be looking forward to his next book.

I had seen this on Rachael Ray and decided to purchase it. It has proven to be quite the awesome cookbook! lots of hints and tips on how to eat healthier and the food is delicious! I found that even some of the snacks that I made were just about enough for a meal for me. I was definitely full and did not get hungry I lost about 10 pounds in the 3 months that I used a few of the recipes. If I was more diligent I would have been losing more. It is a great book to get. I want to get the other books that he has to offer! on a side note, I have been able to create some of my own recipes that are healthier than the traditional recipe that I had used. I recommend that you purchase this book. Even if you cant find all the ingredients, you will be eating healthier and you will also enjoy the recipes!

I love the book, it has so many receipes, not only are they low fat, but extremely tasty. The reason I wanted the book was when I saw him do the flash chicken without frying, I was sold. When I purchased the book that receipe was not included in the book, I had to go online to get the receipe; so I was a little dissapointed it was not included in the book. But all the other receipes made up for that, I have tried several receipes and was never disappointed in the results. It has made me more aware of eating healthy and I have rekindled my joy of cooking from scratch. I would recommend this book for anyone who enjoys cooking and eating healthy, as well as, enjoying low fat tasty foods.

This is a must have for someone or an entire family looking to just plain and simply eat healthier meals. After having a baby less than 3 months ago it was time for me to shed the baby weight and my first step was to buy better foods and cook better healthier meals. Rocco's book did the trick for sure. My Fiancée and I have really enjoyed trying the recipes, as of now we have tried about 10 or so. This is a great deal for the price you get so many good tips on eating well and the book is written beautifully. If had to have one dislike it would be that getting started is kind of expensive with all the ingredients however thats the case when buying healthier ingredients at any time. It's just easier/cheaper to eat junk, I'm just not willing to pay the hefty price in the end for doing so. Instead I'll pay the $ now to be healthy!

This was posted to us on February 22nd and has already stopped working on March 8th. The connector then snapped in half and part of it was still stuck in the ipad.

I can cope with American weights and measures but not ingredients that are unobtainable in the UK (or at least in the depths of the Lake District), probably my fault for not checking closely enough but hey ho.

Rocco's recipes are so Tasty! He has a specific reason why you eat what he reco'ds. It all works together nicely.

I enjoyed the book and am following the diet somewhat. Most of the named brand ingredients are not in Canada so I'm finding it difficult to find some items.
