Crossword Genius

Be inclined to be slim (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lean

I believe this clue is a triple definition!

'be inclined' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'to be' is the second definition.
(leaning is a kind of being)

'slim' is the third definition.
(similar in meaning)

(Other definitions for lean that I've seen before include "Without excess flesh" , "Insufficient - incline" , "Containing little fat" , "Current update (colloq.)" , "List; thin" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
