The Lean

If you’ve ever dieted, you’ve undoubtedly worked very hard to achieve results—only to experience the frustration of seeing the pounds creep back on. Now Kathy Freston reveals her secret: losing weight doesn’t have to be a struggle, and it can last. With this book she shares the powerful concept of The Lean—a radically effective and practical 30-day plan—and shows you how to make and commit to small diet and lifestyle changes that, over time, can yield significant results. One step a day—swapping nondairy milk for cow’s milk, eating an apple a day, having an afternoon power shake—can kick-start your forward momentum, lead to ever more healthy choices, and bolster your progress. On The Lean plan, readers can experience sustained, healthy, and permanent weight loss of 1-3 pounds per week—plus increased energy, improved digestion, clearer skin, and renewed purpose. The Lean offers not only the means to a truly leaner frame, but also the little push we all need to get on the path to lasting change. Complete with exercises, recipes, and powerful testimonials.
