When you eat real, whole foods and keep the processing to a minimum, better health will follow suit--no calorie counting, deprivation, or torment included. In Eat Clean, Stay Lean, the editors of Prevention take you through a visual journey toward better health as they introduce a variety of clean foods on the market today. This isn't an overt diet plan, but rather an easy-to-use guide to choosing simple swaps that will lead to weight loss, more energy, and a cleaner bill of health. The book shows the range of clean to processed foods in an array of categories--for instance, the progression from an apple strudel toaster pastry (least clean) to a natural applesauce (clean) to an organic apple (cleanest)--then offers simple, delicious recipes for you to build a day of clean, healthy meals for your entire family. Packed with fun graphics and products vetted by the scrutinizing team of Prevention editors, Eat Clean, Stay Lean makes healthy eating easy.

Research shows that although people can lose 5 to 10 percent of their body weight on any given diet, dieting itself is a consistent predictor of future weight gain. Why? At some point, everyone stops dieting. The Lean Muscle Diet solves the sustainability problem while offering immediate results. It’s simple: act as if you already have the body you want. If a reader is, say, a 220-pound man who wants to become a muscular 180-pounder, he then uses The Lean Muscle Diet's formula to eat and train to sustain a 180-pound body. The transformation begins immediately, and the results last for life. Lou Schuler, who has sold more than one million copies of his fitness books worldwide, and Alan Aragon, nutrition advisor to Men's Health, have created an eating and "metabolically expensive" exercise plan designed to melt fat while building muscle. The best part? The plan allows readers to eat their favorite foods, no matter how decadent. With full support from Men's Health, The Lean Muscle Diet delivers a simple--and simply sustainable--body transformation plan anyone can use.
