CINCINNATI, OH May 26, 2004 Keith and Gillian Bales look like the couple next door. Two years ago, they had no aspirations of ever writing and publishing a book. Let alone a book on weight loss management. Yet that is exactly what this husband and wife did after Gillian Bales discovered drinking green tea was improving her health and helping her shed unwanted pounds.

I lost 25 pounds over five months drinking green tea, said Gillian. Then I tried it, said Keith, and I have lost 33 pounds. Keith adds, One of the great things about this process is that it does not require exercise or food deprivation. I can eat all the foods I love and still manage my weight.

Neither Keith nor Gillian have a background in fitness or health and nutrition, but after experimenting with green tea in her daily diet, Gillian lost weight so easily that she scheduled a medical visit to rule out any potential health problems. After all tests came back negative and Gillian was pronounced as healthy as ever, Keith followed her lead to permanent weight loss with great benefits.

Their book documents in an easy-to-read conversational style the discoveries that led the Bales to develop the weight loss process they call The Green Tea Lifestyle. Centered on drinking green tea, their approach helps them to feel great, still eat the foods they love, lose weight without hunger, and improve their overall health. The book also contains some of the Bales favorite family recipes compiled by Gillian.

I am so much healthier than I have ever been," said Gillian. "I am completely amazed that after 3 years green tea continues to have a profound impact on my life. It reinforces the fact that this is a chosen lifestyle and not a fad diet."

The health benefits of green tea have of course been known for centuries and extensively documented more recently. Green tea has been proven to not only speed up metabolism leading to weight loss, but has also been deemed a wonder drug that can impact cancer, high cholesterol, hypertension, and a myriad of maladies.

"Adding green tea to my lifestyle has made all the difference for me! It has not only helped me lose weight, but my mood and energy level have also greatly improved," said Jennifer Farwell of Florence, KY. "I have maintained a reasonable diet, including the foods I love, and the pounds still disappeared. I even lost weight during the holidays!" she said.

The Bales excitement led to documenting their thoughts, fine-tuning their process, and describing it for others. Unlikely authors, Keith is the administrator of a juvenile justice facility, and Gillian is a licensed real estate agent. Keith and Gillian have three children aged 18, 7 and 4.
