" EVERYONE should read this book. It's a self help/health type book, but totally doable. Kathy Freston challenges you to 'lean in' to a healthier lifestyle for 30 days. Each day she gives you a simple, but not always easy, goal toward leaning in. By the end of the book you've, as she put it, crowded out old nasty habits with good healthy habits. She doesn't expect perfection, only honesty and 100% effort. Some days are food focused, while others are mental or physical exercises. She's been getting a lot of press lately and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about...this lady is amazing! I've written all 30 leans on a white board I keep in my kitchen to remind myself to make healthier choices. "

" Another great book by Kathy Freston! If you are wanting to lose weight PERMANENTLY, by creating lifestyle changes, then this is the book for you! You won't find any yo-yo diets in here. Kathy walks the reader through daily changes so that new habits can be formed, new tools can be learned, and healthy lifestyle habits are created. This is the way to create sustainable weight-loss, and learn some stuff in the process! There is also a great section of recipes and meal plans. I love Kathy's whole concept of "LEANING IN" to change. This basically equates to taking it one day at a time, one change at a time. There is nothing un-doable or overwhelming about this book. ANYONE can do it, and ANYONE can succeed from it! "

" So far I've lost 15 lbs and haven't even finished the book yet. I'm leaning into reading it, maybe once or twice a week. Kathy Freston offers great advice on how to "crowd out" hunger by suggesting healthy, tasty foods that eliminate cravings. She also discusses other non-food related advice to also aid weight loss. This is not a diet, but a lifestyle change. I've never felt more excited about choosing what I eat and I've also never seen results this quickly before. Can't wait to read the rest of the book (I'm about halfway done, started 2 months ago). I highly recommend it so far! "

" This book is a good read for somebody who already has some healthy habits and wants a structured guide on how to pick up more, and the reasons behind the new habits. Easy to follow, nice friendly style, lots of testimonies and advice from readers of Freston's other books... Definitely give it a read if you want to learn how to be healthier. "

" I like a couple of the things the author recommends,but this is not the book for me. My husband hunts and wouldn't give up the meat. I am not making 20 different meals a day so that everyone in my house is happy with what they eat. "

" Encouraging and not overwhelming. An easy read as far as nutrition books go. Have cut out the meats and gone to plant based butter and milk. Surprised at how easy it has been so far and feeling great! My challenge will be the cheeses. "

" An accessible approach to an eating lifestyle that is plant based. I liked a lot of her points and she made me ponder my meat and dairy lifestyle and I'm trying to incorporate more plant based eating. Some great recipes in the back. "

" Good solid guide lines to follow, although someone pointed out she might not be the authority on the subject. I am also a bit scared of tofu (I love the stuff, I could eat it night and day)...wish there would have been more about that. "
