As some of you may remember, I was thrilled last year to receive a signed copy of Rocco DiSpirito’s Now Eat This! cookbook. Since receiving it, I have made several of the recipes in it, a few of which have become regular staples in my menu. (Yeah, I’m talkin’ to you No Cream-No Cry Penne alla Vodka!)
In case you didn’t already know, Rocco has written another Now Eat This! book. This time, it’s his new Now Eat This! Diet. Rocco graciously sent me a signed copy of this book as well, and I’ve been drooling over it all weekend looking at the recipes! Ok, ok, there may or may not have been a little drooling over Rocco, too.
Check out the cover and you’ll see why!

In his latest book, Rocco offers his plan for losing weight with little effort, no deprivation, while still eating six meals a day. The plan is filled with the comfort food dishes people crave, like mac & cheese, meatloaf, BBQ pork chops, and chocolate malted milk shakes. The secret: Rocco’s unique meal plans and his 75 recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, and snack time, all with zero bad carbs, zero bad fats, zero sugar, and maximum flavor. You just mix and match the color-coded recipes to reach the proper calorie count for the day. Now readers can eat more and weigh less-it’s never been so easy!
You may be asking yourself, does the plan work? Well, Rocco changed his life and his health without giving up the foods he loves or the flavor. He has lost more than 20 pounds, participated in dozens of triathlons, and – after an inspirational role as a guest chef on The Biggest Loser – changed his own diet and the caloric content of classic dishes on a larger scale which was the bedrock for this plan.
Head over to Amazon to get your copy, but don’t worry about getting it messy in the kitchen cooking up his great recipes because you can WIN a pristine hand signed copy direct from Rocco himself! Rocco has hooked me up with TWO (2) signed copies of Now Eat This! Diet to give away to my readers!!
Here’s how you can win your own signed copy of Now Eat This! Diet, signed by Rocco DiSpirito himself:
- Mandatory entry: Check out Rocco’s Now Eat This! Diet Recipe Facebook APP (http://bit.ly/NETDAPP) and leave a comment stating which recipe you would like to try and WHY? For example, perhaps you’d love to try the “Chicken & Cheese Poppers” because it uses whole wheat flour instead of regular flour.
- For an additional entry: Follow Rocco on Twitter and tweet about the giveaway: “I’m entering to win an autographed copy of Now Eat This! Diet from @RoccoDiSpirito and @MelGetsFit. http://wp.me/pCTaZ-IG #NETDRecipes”
Please note that you MUST leave a separate comment for each of the two methods of entry or the second entry will not count. This contest will run through, 10pm PDT on Saturday, April 30, 2011. At the end of the contest, I’ll pick the two winners using Random.org to receive the book and announce them on Sunday, May 1, 2011. Winners will also be notified via email and will have 48 hours to contact me regarding their prize. If they don’t, an alternate winner will be selected.
Whether you’re chosen as a lucky winner or not, Rocco shares exclusive healthy tips from his latest cookbook and recipes from his Twitter account. Be sure to keep following him at @RoccoDiSpirito. You can also find him here on Facebook.
