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. Determined to change her life for the better, she entered the doors of her local gym and never looked back.

The minute she hopped on the treadmill she felt like she was taking control of her life again. Her confidence grew as she found the motivation to take care of herself – something she had lacked for years. After learning how to “eat clean”, Tosca’s life accelerated. As she shed unwanted pounds, Tosca underwent a profound transformation. For the first time in her life she was happy to take center stage. She was confident, joyful and ready to take on the world.

At age 42, with the support of her now husband, Robert Kennedy, she entered her first physique contest. Undaunted by the younger competitors, Tosca took fifth place in her class.

Tosca knew she had tapped into something wonderful. She realized that if she could make these small but pivotal changes in her life, anyone could. She began writing a column in Oxygen, a renowned fitness magazine.  Recognizing that others were as hungry for change as she once was, Tosca wrote The Eat-Clean Diet®. The book initiated a ten-title series that has sold over a million copies.

Along with her column in Oxygen magazine, she now writes a column for Clean Eating magazine, is a regular contributor to Maximum Fitness and Reps!magazines, has been a host on Extra and a guest on numerous national television programs including Good Morning America, The Montel Williams Show, and The Doctors.

Tosca hit the stage again for the Miss Bikini America physique competition in Las Vegas at the age of 49, proving that you are only as old as you feel. She lives by the following credo by Goethe: “Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.”
