Has anyone heard of the Lean for Life program? How does it compare to the other low-carb diets?

One of my co-workers is doing the lean for life program. From what I understand, it's both a low carb AND a low fat program. She hasn't been doing it for too long, so I can't speak for how effective it is. It seems to me, though, that with the low fat, you would run into the problem of being hungry again and have a hard time sticking with it. Without the fat, it may also be a low calorie program which has problems of it's own. I did a quick search and found a website: www1.lindora.com if you would like to find out more about it.

I found the basics of the LFL program on another board and because of the inclrdible results I read about I'm trying it: in 3 days I've lost 4 and 1/2 pounds. Yes, it's a low carb/low fat plan, and the first 3 days are very extreme. I 'm not a bit hungry though and only felt a bit weird the very first day.

From day 4 the plan starts to become reasonable but the carbs and fats are pretty low until you get to maintenance, but as I say, not having the book I'm not so sure. I was in a hurry to get into a skirt for a wedding tomorrow and it has really worked. I don't think I'd follow it long term. Probably after this wedding on saturday and baptism on sunday (yeah! eat eat eat) I'll probably use it for a couple of days to get rid of the bloat, but being that I'm trying to put on a little muscle I'll probably go back to PP.

Thanks

Hi Roe!

The forum where you find additional info is called lowcarbfriends.com. Click on the search button and write in LFL. I got most of my info reading the threads on the Challenges forum. You should find a list of foods and the basic rules. If you're in trouble do ask me and I'll tell you what I know to get the diet started.
