5.0 out of 5 stars You can become LEAN FOR LIFE with this book!, April 20, 2002
This review is from: Lean for Life : The Clinically-Proven Step-By-Step Plan for Losing Weight Rapidly and Safely...and Controlling It for Life! (Paperback)
Over the years I have written a number of diet book reviews ... I am happy to say that LEAN FOR LIFE is the last diet book I will need to review. LEAN FOR LIFE WORKS and I don't need to read anymore diet books!

The book "Lean For Life" has since been updated and retitled. It's now called "Lean For Life Phase One" and is available ... and at leanforlife.com. I would advise purchasing the new version instead of shelling out the extra money for an out of print copy of the original Lean for Life.

Lean for Life Phase One is a book that you do. Each day you are given step by step directions to follow to mentally and physically achieve your weight loss goals.
The program begins with a "prep" period where you buy the items you need for the diet and prepare yourself mentally.

The next 3 days are protein days. You select protein choices from a given list. I was shocked to find that it was easy. I ate cheese, yogurt, drank milk, protein bars, nibbled on chicken, eggs and more.

This is followed by a period where you add vegetables, grains and fruit from a list. The program is designed to get your body in a state of ketosis so you do not experience cravings, mood problems etc. AND IT WORKS!

On previous programs I had cravings for sweets and could not stick with the plan. But with LFL your cravings (if any) are very manageable and you eat so you are not hungry!

Each day adds in new mental concepts to work on to learn to become LEAN FOR LIFE. Exercise is also included - how much to do and when to do it for best effect.

After a cycle of weight loss you go into a period of metabolic adjustment adding in yet more food. Then you can repeat the cycle of weight loss if you need to lose more or you can go on to the carefully designed maintenance plan. Everything is planned out so you will become LEAN FOR LIFE and not gain the weigh back!

I have lost weight quickly, safely and with ease. It's a wonderful program and I highly recommend it! I am finally achieving my weight loss goals thanks to LEAN FOR LIFE!

5.0 out of 5 stars Easiest diet I've ever followed, February 22, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Lean for Life : The Clinically-Proven Step-By-Step Plan for Losing Weight Rapidly and Safely...and Controlling It for Life! (Paperback)
I started this diet the day after christmas and I've lost 14 pounds so far. That's about 2 pounds a week which is a healthy rate and I haven't even followed the diet to the letter. I've got 15 pounds to go, so I should be in great shape by summer. I've had lots of energy and I'm never hungry or cranky. You basically just have to cut out sugar, bread, pasta, rice, & potatoes. The book is motivational and takes you through your weight loss step by step. If you really want to lose weight try this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lean For Live ... The Miracle Diet !, January 9, 2002
By 
Sandrine Giurlani (Central California, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lean for Life : The Clinically-Proven Step-By-Step Plan for Losing Weight Rapidly and Safely...and Controlling It for Life! (Paperback)
I cannot even start to describe how wonderful it feel to look at myself in the mirror and see a new me..... After struggling for years to lose weight, I finally found my answers on April 2001 when my husband's best friend introduced me to the Lindora Diet. He had lost 85 Ibs in 10 months and I was truly amazed. I ordered the book and started the diet on April 7, 2001. The first week I lost 10 Ibs. I never felt better in my whole life. As of today, January 9, 2002, I am now 145 Ibs for 68 inches. I have lost altogether 80 Ibs and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT !.
Nothing comes easy but Lean for Life is worth a try.
