If you've ever dieted, you've undoubtedly worked very hard to achieve results -- only to experience the disappointment of having the pounds creep back on. But now wellness expert Kathy Freston lets you in on her secret -- losing weight doesn't have to be difficult. With this book she shares the powerful concept of The Lean -- a radically effective approach to positive change -- with a practical 30-day plan to transform your health and jump start weight loss in the most gentle, easy, and automatic way possible.

"Leaning in" is about setting an intention for what you want, weight and health wise, and then nudging yourself ever so gently in that direction, even if getting there seems impossible. It's about making choices to eat foods that are delicious and filling and supportive of your weight loss goals.

Each day of the scientifically-based Lean plan, Kathy shows you how to make and commit to small changes in your diet and lifestyle that, over time, yield unexpectedly significant results -- something as simple as swapping in soy milk for cow's milk, adding half an apple to breakfast, or a handful of nuts instead of your usual snack of chips. These changes propel you almost effortlessly into a forward momentum of evermore healthy choices, and work together to bolster your progress. There is nothing in these pages that is drastic or strict, nothing that will require of you giving up your favorite foods altogether. In fact, there are only two rules:

All you need is the willingness to take just one step.
As you add the healthier foods to your diet, eat the new foods first.
When you gradually add in these nutrient-dense, fiber-rich, and (shhh . . . vegan) foods, you simply stop feeling cravings. On Kathy's Lean plan, you can experience sustained, healthy, and permanent weight loss of 1-3 pounds per week -- plus increased energy, improved digestion, brighter, clearer skin, and renewed purpose. Complete with exercises and recipes, and grounded in the latest science and research, The Lean offers not only a truly leaner frame, but the little push we all need to get on the path to lasting change.
