Leah Itsines

I'm Leah Itsines, a passionate cook, founder of BARE and mum of two on a mission to make healthy eating easy, realistic and delicious.

I've witnessed thousands of successful, determined people caught in the same exhausting spiral - losing weight on restrictive diets, only to regain it all when life gets busy. That's why I created BARE, a macro-based meal planning system that works with your actual life, not against it.
Through my bestselling cookbooks, recipes, and our supportive BARE community, I help people around the world quit fad dieting for good and find freedom with food without restriction. 

I share practical tools and inspiration to help you feel confident in the kitchen, improve your relationship with food, and reach your healthiest version of you - whether that's simply eating better, gaining confidence, or supporting your weight loss journey.

My philosophy is simple: if it doesn't work with family dinners, work deadlines, and social events… it's not sustainable. Food should never feel complicated - it should be nourishing, balanced, and something you actually love and can sustain.
