Welcome! So glad you are here. If there is ever a time for you to begin your own reinvention, then this is it and we will do it together. You are about to witness the result of my reno-vention gleaned from the ashes of three years of challenge. Sifting through the rubble, shiny bits of myself refused to be dimmed. I picked them up, polished them and place them before you. Among these were my baby, The Eat-Clean Diet – a series of books that refuses to stop growing and the Eat Clean Food Revolution as recently coined by Dr. Oz, another movement that will not stop. These are the tools we will use together to help you realize your best self. We will do this together.
In this beautiful new website along with you, many thousands of you, it will be hard to forget how we face new beginnings many times over. Your stories will reveal this. My journey began and began again. You have no doubt experienced this too. I thought it had started when I made an eighty-pound weight loss all those years ago but I see now I was naïve to think that would be the only one. We are constantly reinventing ourselves. Beginnings happen all the time, more than once and in different ways.
But I know something about you. We can survive. We can rebuild and we can flourish. I’m so proud and excited to be your home of Eating Clean, a place of inspiration, of community and reinvention. Visit often. Don’t miss out on Free Downloads, gorgeous pictures, meal and training solutions and a chance to win a phone consult with me.
Eat Clean for health and for life.
Remember, I’m always listening.
Tosca

Ok…here goes…I do not want anyone to reply to this comment with Me Feeling a Sorry For Myself….b/c that is not what I am seeking answers to…..I am kind of lost in direction & do not know where to start…..
My Husband has had a stroke in May of 2013….I am pretty much the only Caregiver…@ this time…I have to questions of Help I need.. #1) I weight 190 Lbs. & am 5’3″….. I am just lost on where to start….my husband can only be left alone for like an hour to an hour and a half…..a gym membership is out of the question ….the money situation it very tight….finding the time to get even a 1/2 hour to walk is a challenge…..also….the exercising….I have such stiff joints & arthritis….I need a start point & then build from there….I am only 53 so Old is not the wording I would you…just I feel like I am 75….I would so appreciate any pointers …etc. To get started on taking care of me….to feel more energy…& healthy again….Thank you! 🙂
Hug yourself, believe in yourself, I hope you get through it.
Look for Respite volunteers, perhaps Care Aid students who may be willing to help out by being there when you need to set time for yourself, in return for a reference and experience. There may also be Hospice volunteers willing to help out. I totally understand the challenges of lack of funding, time, etc.
I’m a mom with two young girls and finding time to exercise is sometimes the last thing on my list but I need to find a way to put it first on the list. I also have health issues that are a challenge.
It is so hard when someone(s) are relying on you to make time for yourself, but it is never more important!
Hi Tosca, just logged into the site. I have most of your books (all great reads) they really helped me to set my goals to lose weight and get more physically active. That was about 3 or so years ago and I was down to 160 pounds . I have some how lost my way 🙁 and have to get back on track. I pull out your books and show them to friends and tell them all about you but I don’t seem to get back at it myself :(. Any ideas let me know. You are a GREAT inspiration to me and so many others. Thank you
At nearly 80 I am ready to get more fit and continue my good health. My young friend in her 50’s told me about your new website so here I am! I just retired from full time employment so now it’s my time for me! Gonna retread all your books and get going!

Thanks so much to my cousin Dawn Vickery of Raw Elements for recommending this website and all the information. Love it. Thanks for the motivation Tosca and the motivation to get healthy.
Tosca is an inspiration to women. I totally admire her for being such a strong woman.
Hi Tosca,
I didn’t know you at all until I watched Dr. Oz today. You made such an impression on me from your interview segment that I wrote you name and book title down. Here I am, reading as much as I can in one sitting from your website. I have downloaded your first book and I’m printing out pages and on and on. So, thank you for sharing your experiences, knowledge and enthusiasm. I am always open to learning. In fact, last weekend I just happened to bring a new “clean food” dish to a potluck. Now these people at the potluck are anything but clean eaters. However, everyone enjoyed the “Samoas” I made. I will try to post this recipe, unless it is one of yours already, tomorrow. Keep up the good work. Sheryl Kirk Chico, CA
I just found your cookbook in a book store. So excited to start this journey. I love the recipes.! Thank you..
Hi Tosca I love ur books, I have quite a few of them. It’s hatd for me to eat clean when ur parents dont wsnt to. Im the cook and would love to sneak some recipes, any ideas? I coupon to save money, and I would like some ideas. Saw u on Dr. Oz great segment. I want to try the recipe. Im trying to eat better, but like I said its hard. Keep up the great work.

Now this is EXCITING Tosca! Welcome back, I’ve been following you on Facebook and I am so glad you are here so I can learn and grow, and get inspired! Bob is definitely looking down and beaming over your will to go forward! I AM IN 🙂
I need to live this principle NOW each day will be a challenge but I know and need to remember how good clean eating makes you feel – priceless
The site is wonderful, and so full of information, beautiful photos, and inspiration. Thank you for coming back even though I just discovered you earlier this year. Truly inspiring people continue to inspire even when they go radio silent for awhile.
Loving your new website!! You are a true inspiration!! Hopefully one day you will consider coming to Montreal to educate us on your tools and motivation behind clean eatingl!
I really needed this now more than ever.. After trying all the diets out there and feeling like a failure. I needed a site like this to get me back up and ready to fight again…
This is just what I need to get back on track with you again….when you were lost and re-finding yourself, I was lost, too, for different reasons. …so now it’s time to getting back to me…when I am fit and on track, everything else will be better too…its been too long without reps and cardio…can’t wait for the soreness!!!
You are a pillar of hope for so many people. You have changed my life and continue to change the lives of so many others. May these coming years be the best for you as you “persevere” and conquer the world. Much Love to you Tosca
Tosca, this come at a perfect time for me. I have bounced around with different ways of staying healthy and fit. Each time I come back to you your program. This new website coupled with your new book is such a blessing. I look forward to being a part of an amazing community here. Thank you for being who you are. Love and Light, Donna in Calgary.
It’s so wonderful to see you back, Tosca. You were missed!
Hi Tosca! Your inner and outer strength is amazing! I set a goal to lose 40 lbs by my birthday as a present to myself. Well, tomorrow is my 46th birthday. Not only have I not met my goal, I haven’t lost any weight at all. Lately I’ve felt defeated and like I should just give up and accept the way I am. Your Reno-vention post has given me new hope and inspiration. Tonight I am recommitting myself to a healthy lifestyle as a gift to myself. This time next year I want these tears streaming down my face to be ones of joy and celebration from my own reinvention.
SO glad that you’re back.
Of course you are back ! Lol I am fully confident that you understand that healing our bodies is a part of the package of true, life changing healing ! Tosca your journey continues to help others ! That is exciting 🙂
I was so happy to see Oxygen and Clean Eating magazine comeback and am so happy to see you back too! I need all the inpiration I can get, thanks Tosca.
Tosc
I SAW YOU ON DR OZ’S SHOW TODAY 4-15-2014 YOU WERE WONDERFUL THANK YOU FOR SHARING ALL YOUR KNOWLEDGE WITH ALL OF US. I HAVE ALL YOUR BOOKS AND FOLLOW YOU ON THE NET IT ALL WORKS IF YOU KEEP THE FAITH. GOD BLESS
Tosca, I have been following you for years. I was even in the audience when you were on the bikini stage and won the title. You have inspired me to do the same so my goal is to finally get fit and grace the stage in my 50’s (my 50th birthday is in September 2014). I have a good 50 pounds to lose before I get there but with your inspiration I hope to get there. Thanks for all that you do.
Annette, Burlington, ON
Every time I feel myself in a personal slump I receive a newsletter or see a FB newsfeed about something you are doing… And it never fails to boost me back up! Thank you for just being,

Bonjour Tosca , Félicitations! On your new site. Wow! Love it ! You are one of my role model. I’m 43 and lost up to now 85lb. I eat clean and go to the gym 7/7. My husband anf my two teenagers encourage me everyday 🙂 .I had the chance to meet you when you came to chapters@Rideau, ottawa on the 20 of March (2014). You inspire me. Thank you Tosca for being real and keeping it real 🙂 .
You are such an inspiration to me. I carry your journal each day for further motivation. I love your quotes and everything you share…good luck with your new website!
So happy to see you back. You’ve always been someone I’ve greatly admired and aspired to be like. I’ve been following you for so long, and have continued during the past few years during your families struggles. I’m so glad you made it through even stronger and more determined than before. It’s time to lose the next 20 pounds with you. No excuses!
I am at the start of my journey with you. I am unfit, waaaaay heavier than I should be and depressed (I wonder why?). However, perhaps the most important thing I found out about was you! I found out about how far you came and how strong you are so have decided to join you. I have the books, I have the magazine, I even have the gym membership. But most importantly I have the motivation to change my life: to finally be healthy, to be fit and, thanks to you, I have the tools and information and support to do that. Thank you for not going away. Thank you for keeping going. Thank you for being here for us all. My journey starts now …
Tracy I’m right there with you. I starting now ..
Tracy, I hope you are doing alright! Keep at it, girl! 🙂
Do your cook books have gluten & soy & dairy free receipes ?
Congrats on the new and revamped website…..Amazing…..love it
I’m so happy your coming back! I always thought you were still there but I know you have had lots of personally struggles over the last few years! I have lost weight following your plan and then fell off the wagon. I’m ready to re start!! Thank you!
Thank You Tosca for all of your valuable advice. I have all of your books I follow you on facebook I SUBSCRIBE to Oygen magazine my subscription just ran out I will re subscribe soon .I lost 45 pounds in 4 months following eating clean I felt great I was doing weights cardio etc I felt impowered.But then flu season hit I coughed for ever to sum it up gained weight ftom falling back into my same old habits. Now I must start again older worse shape then I was.I know this new website of yours along with all of your wonderful books will get me back on track. I am keeping the faith Tosca I know I can do this .Time Management is Key it will be a difficult journey I know with plenty of ups and down however I am looking forward to the change .
I’m so happy for you Tosca! Many congrats! Such a beautiful site and such a bright future ahead for you! I stand in awe 🙂
You have no idea how bad I needed this. I have let myself go due to so much stress and just realized I needed to do something about it. Caring for an elderly parent changes your daily life. This I know first hand, but I also know that to many people rely on me and I need to be there for them. My lifestyle needs to change and with Tosco and her Clean eating I can do it. So thank you Tosco for coming back to us.
I hear you .. !! And I think we can all help each other 🙂
Congratulations Tosca on your new website, looks PHENOMENAL!!!!!
