The Lean Plate Club is about eating smart, moving more throughout the day and setting realistic goals to achieve a healthy weight. It's not about dieting or deprivation. It's about what you can add to your life to be healthier and it's about finding the fun in being physically active -- whether you walk, stretch, tap dance, ride a bike or simply take the stairs instead of the elevator. |
