PEOPLE MAGAZINE, JANUARY 2014
ROCCO DISPIRITO REVEALS HOW HE LOST 41 LBS.
NOW HIS NEW BOOK THE POUND A DAY DIET CAN HELP YOU DO THE SAME
There was a time when celebrity chef Rocco DiSpirito could polish off
up to 10 entrées in one sitting. "I ate at least 1,000 extra calories a day". My doctor said, 'Given your family's history of heart disease, it looks really grim for you.' Scared and determined to change, DiSpirito developed The Pound a Day Diet--a weight loss plan that restricts calories for 28 days and then transitions into a Mediterranean-style diet.

Such a disappointment. I bought the book the first day it came out on Kindle and read it that morning. I saw the titles of the recipes at the beginning and got really excited. I forced myself to actually READ the book instead of skipping to the meals and then going back to figure out how to work the plan (I'm guilty of doing this a lot so I can hurry to the "good stuff"). I was impressed with Rocco's thoughts on how we need to change our thoughts on meal preparation and do things more Mediterranean style. I was totally into this book and getting excited to get to the actual food section until I got there. Ugh. What a let down.
A lot of the meals include really random ingredients that I would need to google before knowing what I am looking for. The recipes that were "normal" included things like egg beaters, fat free cheese (gag), and light whole wheat bread. I would rather buy the book in print and eat the pages with hot sauce than fake eggs, fat free cheese and dry bread. Ok maybe not, but I would rather not see recipes of typical foods being turned into low fat versions by using tasteless products. I could have figured that out myself. I bought Rocco's book expecting the meals to be professional chef inspired, not something I could have figured out on my own by trying low fat versions of typical foods. The chapters leading up had me thinking I would see amazing Mediterranean recipes, not fatty American foods revamped with low fat options.
There are some recipes that sound good and I will probably try them, but I will definitely be making my own shopping list because the one in this book gives me a headache just thinking about it.
Also, on a more random note, did anyone read this: "...
