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

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 recommend this book HIGHLY!!! Rocco Rocks!!! The recipes are intense and Rocco takes a 4 star recipe of 4,000 calories, drops it to 400 calories but STILL keeps the taste ... he is a Food God! I never knew that if my body is happy and full all the time that it will shed weight on its own. Rocco recommends 8 meals per day at about 200 calories per meal ... I'll have a huge meal but split it up thru the day ... Have a burger or steak ... and fries a few hours later ... followed a few hours later by a plate of Spinach or broccoli ... and at night around 7pm a dish of ice cream ... and then a Kombucha Pro-biotic just before bed with my pills ... I went from nearly 300 lbs down to 180 and realized I was TOO SKINNY so I went back up to about 220 and that is where I remain ... I live in a VERY WINDY area and if I get down any lower I get blown off balance by the wind but at 220 I have a fighting chance to survive so all is good. If you wanna lose weight on an ALL YOU CAN EAT diet ... this is THE BOOK for YOU!!! Do I recommend it! A lot and often ... just like his recipes.

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!

I'm actually disappointed, and am preparing to ship back.LOVE Rocco, but I wish that instead of highlighting how many "fat" grams there are per recipe, he'd focus on how many "sugar" grams there are. He seems to think that consuming dietary fat makes us fat, whereas it's our SUGAR consumption (from refined carbs) that makes us fat. Usually if a product is labeled, "low fat" or "no fat", they replace it with additives (many cases, sugar) to make it taste good. I don't agree with his idea of using all of these low fat substitutes..it's not necessary. It's "trans" fat we need to avoid, and that's primarily in "processed" foods. No need to eliminate EGGS either...they're actually very GOOD for us, rather than processed liquid eggs which God knows what's in them besides egg whites! Dietary cholesterol does not raise serum cholesterol levels....SUGARS do. I agree with using Stevia as a sugar substitute and agave in moderation(it still spikes insulin levels!) Years ago I lost weight on the Sugar Busters diet....lost the book, but just reordered it..it seemed to be the only diet book that "made sense". There are very easy recipes, simple foods, nothing fancy, and the best thing about it is that there are NO COUNTING CALORIES. No counting of ANYthing! I did lose 25 lbs on it in three months...not by cutting out dietary fats,but by cutting out refined carbs. And I had to drink my OJ a half hour before breakfast..that was the most difficult aspect to get used to, but it worked.Sorry Rocco, love ya! And you're not bad to look at,but I have to send your book back. OR I may keep it just to look at your pics! :-)

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 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.

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 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.
