 Sign: She’s
a Taurus
Hometown: Born in Quebec, raised in Kingston, Ontario.
Claim to fame: Recipe developer, fitness model, and
author of the Clean Eating books (Robert Kennedy Publishing,
2006).
On her time: “I love to design home interiors,” says
Tosca. “I think our living spaces should be clean,
comfortable and inspirational.”
On her bedside table: “I am reading a book that
has changed my way of thinking about food,” Tosca
says. “It is called the Omnivores’ Dilemma
(Penguin, 2006) and I can’t put it down.”
On her iPod: “I am all over the place when it
comes to music,” Tosca admits. “It’s
the talent I respond to more than the kind. Gwen Stefani
can actually sing, so I make a point of listening to her
stuff.”
In her fridge: Do you think the queen of clean eats
would have junk in there? Nothing but veggies and lean
meats for Tosca. Though, “I do love a latte,” she
admits.
Her worst job: The worst job Tosca ever had was as a
lifeguard at the local pool. “I was 18, loved the
actual guarding, but hated the cleanup,” she says. “Especially
the bathrooms after a hot summer day. Peee-uuww!!
 Her obstacle: When it comes to fitness, Tosca says time
isn’t always on her side. “But even that won’t
stop me,” she says.
Her moment: “My best shot at life came when I
rescued myself from the destructive path I was on eight
years ago,” says Tosca. “Learning how to take
care of myself saved my life.”
Staying on track: “I know how valuable a second
chance is,” she says, “and I won’t waste
it simply because I can’t take care of myself properly.
It’s a commitment to myself.”

she rescued herself from the destructive path she was
on eight years ago. “We don’t need to be
overweight and depressed. We just need to learn to eat
properly again.” Read more about her journey on
