It’s not difficult to see why Americans are overweight. We don’t have just one mouth to feed; we have four. Eating food satisfies the hunger of the physical body, but will never satisfy emotional, mental and spiritual hunger. Americans are overweight because they have lost the discernment to know what they are hungry for. The notion that if you eat something you will feel better has become ingrained in the background of our culture. We eat everywhere we go. Every social occasion is accompanied by food.

Consumption has become the American pastime. Our senses have been manipulated so effectively by advertising specialists that we have come to believe the images they bombard us with that suggest the more we eat the happier we will be. And this consuming is not just about food. We also consume goods and services with the expectation that we will be satisfied by them, when that is not necessarily the case.

The Living Lean Lifestyle introduced in Four Mouths to Feed is about feeding yourself, or rather, yourselves. It is about developing the awareness to know exactly what you are hungry for and giving yourself that, which in many cases is not food. This lifestyle is about satisfaction and fulfillment and the tools to bring those experiences into your life.

The Living Lean Lifestyle addresses the hunger in each of your four bodies: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. When you experience satisfaction in each of these bodies you will be enjoying a life of fulfillment and satisfaction. Your needs will be met. You will know contentment alongside the exhilaration of striving.

As the name implies, the Living Lean Lifestyle is about living: living close to the core of your being in full awareness of your needs and how you can satisfy them. You will find that as you the master the awareness and the skills to be nourished in each of your four bodies, your relationship to food will be transformed. Instead of living to eat you will eat to live.
