People are drawn to this healthy, easy lifestyle, which, as they explain, does not necessarily require a person to be overweight before beginning to change the way they eat.

The popularity of this “skinny” way of life is driven by Skinny Ms. devotion to flavor-filled, nutrient-packed recipes like Chicken Florentine, Sweet Potato and Kale Stew, Cranberry and Pumpkin Spice Granola, Pomegranate Poached Pears, Zucchini Tahini Spread and Vegetable Lasagna, just to name a few. The use of the word “skinny” explains the goal of helping people maintain the weight they view as healthy.
