The Quick & Clean Diet is all about whole grains, lean proteins, and good fats. It shuns pre-packaged, heavily processed, refined, and fast foods. It's not about eating only low-carb, nor about going fat free. It's about good fats. Expect to eat plenty of chicken, turkey, and fish. You will also get an endless choice of vegetables, and a plethora of spices. Your food will never taste boring, nor will you feel deprived; in fact, expect to eat a lot.

Three levels form the basis of the diet—for each of which the book provides delicious recipes. The High Motivationsegment is the rapid weight loss phase, a time designed to whip you into shape, kill your cravings, and shrink your stomach. Within about three days, you will feel unstoppable. The Groundingsegment is where you continue to lose weight while reintroducing a wider variety of foods. And finally the Stabilitysegment will become your roadmap for eating well for the rest of your life.
