More About the Author

Author, columnist, motivational speaker, reality TV star, radio personality, consultant, mother and wife, Tosca Reno has been inspiring millions with the Eat-Clean Diet series and sharing the success she's had with weight loss and Clean Eating.

At age 40, author Tosca Reno found herself miserable, overweight, stuck in an unhappy marriage, and living an unfulfilled life. Her self-esteem was at an all-time low. She barely recognized the woman she had become.

Tosca Reno found herself reborn when she realized she was the architect of her own destiny. She accepted new challenges to become super fit and healthy. She entered bodybuilding contests and started writing articles for Oxygen, a top fitness magazine. Her struggles and hardships in the past served to both inspire and motivate her in her career as a writer, motivational speaker and fitness celebrity. Her work encourages others to do for themselves what she has done - reinvent herself from being fat and frumpy to lean and purposeful.

Reno quickly earned her own monthly feature "Raise the Bar." The column targets women over 40 looking for motivation, nutrition and training advice. Reno shares her no-holds-barred wisdom in a firm but tender-hearted manner. Oxygen readers instantly connect with Tosca's advice, delivered with friendly compassion.

"Raise the Bar" readers wanted more. They wrote with countless questions, inspiring Tosca to craft the best-selling Eat-Clean Diet series. With her friendly arm-around-the-shoulder approach, Tosca teaches others how to alter their eating habits, to lose or maintain weight, gain muscle, boost metabolism, increase energy and be happier, healthier people living with purpose.

The Eat-Clean Diet series is a huge hit throughout North America, with over one million copies sold. Tosca has struck a chord with the diet-weary. In fact the most common response she gets is: "This just makes so much sense! I will never give up eating this way! It's so easy!"

Tosca has appeared on numerous national radio and TV shows and has been featured in countless magazine and newspaper articles. Extra TV in Los Angeles recently created a new feature specifically for Tosca, called "Tosca Reno's Eat-Clean Ambush Cleanse," in which she helps a young man with diabetes clean up his kitchen, his shopping cart and his attitude. Extra TV has since filmed several health-based segments with Tosca.

Canada's VIVA Network is airing Tosca's new TV show, Tosca: Flexing at 49, for eight weeks starting in June 2009. In the series, Tosca is followed by film crews as she goes about her busy life - meeting deadlines for her columns and books, giving seminars and making appearances, helping families with their health and diet struggles, answering emails from fans, dieting, competing and looking after her large family at the same time!

Tosca's latest book The Eat-Clean Diet for Men will be followed by a hardcover cookbook in Fall 2009. She's also working on a slew of writing projects to be released over the coming year, including a new book with Harlequin's new non-fiction division. Tosca continues to write her monthly column in Oxygen magazine, along with articles on motivation, life, training and nutrition in magazines including Maximum Fitness, Reps! and Clean Eating.

Tosca grew up in Kingston, Ontario and now lives in Caledon, Ontario. She turned 50 in May 2009.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mixed Feelings, April 4, 2007
This review is from: The Butt Book: How to Build a Non-Cellulite and Fat-Free Butt in 9 Weeks (Paperback)
This book is good for the most part. I did enjoy it and found it useful for certain populations, although I also have some concerns. The training advice isn't bad, but I have to agree with some of the other reviewers that it seems to be geared toward beginners or women who aren't "hard-core" fitness enthusiasts. I emphasize that the worthwhileness of this book depends on the exerciser's personal fitness goals. If you're looking for general health and fitness with some moderate shaping benefits, then go for it. As an NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, I wouldn't personally use or recommend most of these exercises with my athletes or clients, except for squats, lunges and deadlifts (which can benefit anyone); then again, our goals are entirely different.

My main concern is the diet portion of the book. The advice is sound, but the actual diet that Reno prescribes is atrocious. First the positive stuff: the food choices are good, six meals a day is good (keeps your metabolism revved), and the macronutrient ratio is good. Now for the negative: the calories are WAY too high for each meal and hence for each overall day. Day 2, for example, will provide approximately 2300 or more calories (other days aren't as bad). Unless you're an elite endurance athlete, you'll probably GAIN fat weight on this diet - not the kind of rounded butt most people are looking for. I also wonder where she gets her nutrient info from, because some of the stats given can't be right. Case in point: Oatmeal pancakes on p.97. She writes that it has 600 calories per serving (which is a huge amount for most women to eat for breakfast), but the entire recipe has about 680 calories, and the serving size isn't noted. To make the diet more suitable to most people's needs, I'd recommend cutting in half the portions of meals 2,4 and 6 (which are probably supposed to be snacks).

Don't be fooled for an instant that the butts of the fitness models in the book are at all representative of the kind of butt the average woman will derive from Reno's advice. Remember that these women have exceptional genetics: that is why they are elite fitness and bodybuilding athletes. Plus I wouldn't doubt that some of them are juicers. I'd also bet the farm that none of them used the kind of soft-core program that Reno outlines. At any rate, normal women with normal genetics and a normal lifestyle (ie. diet/exercise habits) is quite unlikely to build a body-builder Bertha butt.

Everyone is different (that's why we're called "individuals!"), so you really just have to find your own path. As I said, it's good if your goals are fairly modest, but watch the diet.

2.0 out of 5 stars A Good Place to Start, September 12, 2004

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The Butt Book is a good place to start if you want an introduction to exercises for your bottom and thighs. Like several of the other books on the market, it devotes a great deal of time, attention, and book space to diet and eating habits. That stuff seems like a no-brainer to me, and I was disappointed that Ms. Reno didn't include more exercises. If there is ever a revised edition, it would be nice if the exercises were photographs instead of drawings, and if they showed proper technique instead of just one phase of the exercises.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buns of Steel, June 5, 2005
Excellent! I would recommend this book for anyone who wants to get rid of that extra cheese on the back side. However, you must add cardio to this program to help shed the fat, otherwise you'll look a little weird. Wonderful workout plan and diet plan, basically what every person should be doing and what you can find in the Oxygen magazine. It's also great because you can find a workout for the gym and one for at home, both are killer workouts.
