Hi all,

I read about the Lean For Life program and bought the book. I will start tomorrow. It does sound like a pretty good plan to me. Its low carb but you are allowed a couple pieces of fruit a day, I like that part. Anyway, have any of you tried it, and what did you think?

thanks

I think I still have the book around here somewhere. It's got a journal in it, which is cool, where you write down everything you eat for every day, is that right?

Anyway, I bought it from an infomercial and paid around $200 for the whole system, came with some NASTY TASTING protein bars and hot chocolate and some soups, I think, and some ketostix.

I didn't stick with it but it worked somewhat the week or so that I followed it I remember hating the black coffee and the tuna out of the can that I was eating (yuck!!) all the time. I also remember the headache and general lousy feeling I had. That's why I quit. DUH!! That's carb withdrawal and I didn't even know it! Imagine how small I would be right now. . . .

Anyway, good luck to you! It's similar to all the low carb plans I have heard about and should work just great for you.

You are allowed fruit on any low carb program. they must be figured in the carb count. But any low carb program i feel is good. It is a matter of watching what you eat. journaling, and being very careful. that is the primary crux of the whole low carb and for that matter any weight loss progam is the diligent and careful monitoring of what you eat, and determination.
