About the Book Today in the USA just over 130 million Americans are overweight or obese. The numbers don't lie: that equals one out of every two people. "In that light, contemporary health is both a societal catastrophe and individual crisis" says Cliff Azok, author of the new release Living Lean Today: How I Lost Over 100lbs. "The conventional wisdom has been conventionally misleading and unwise to follow," says Azok. "A life of obesity is closer for most of us than we dare think." The time to change is now, the time for America to change is now, the time for YOU to change is NOW! Living Lean Today is written in tandem with the production of LivingLeanToday.com, operated by a fat-reduction group providing realistic technical knowledge. The group maintains dieting the conventional way is frustrating and time-consuming. Fat reduction needs to be seen as enjoyable and a daily chance to enjoy one's self. Over 70% of people beginning diets will fail. Of the remainder, over 70% will fail over the long haul. The question is: why? Azok points out that dieters fail because the short-term foundation of their plans are flawed. "How can you succeed in the long term if the short term is unsound?" Living Lean Today details Azok's stunning loss of 130lbs. of hurtful, hindering weight. His success was found by concentrating on personal motivation, maturity, knowledge and specific targeted action, and importantly following a long-term plan. If YOU take up these same methods, Azok believes the same results will hold true. Beware the creeping growth of fat, America - there is no better time to change our lives than now, and Living Lean Today will help you through.
