Lean living is about being happy and fulfilled, living more effectively with less.

Lean Living will make you healthier, happier and will improve your ability to work and play harder.

Practical advice for Lean living
Eat less: don’t have more on your plate than you are going to eat.
Buy less: buy less of everything.
Want less: Avoid branded goods unless you know they add real value. Decide what you really want, you will want other stuff less
Exercise more: walking is a beginning, alternate one day intensive one day active.
