We don’t accept insurance or HSA/FSA cards directly, but many of our clients have successfully submitted their LEAN program receipts for reimbursement through their HSA or FSA.

The goal is to teach you macro management so you can eat the foods you enjoy and are not stuck to the same plan week after week. However, meal planning and meal prep will be a big part of this program. Therefore I will provide sample lunch and dinner recipe options with a detailed grocery list and meal prep instruction each week. This is super helpful!
Nothing is completely off limits. We focus on whole foods and helping you learn how different foods affect your energy, hunger, and progress. Some people choose to reduce gluten or dairy based on how they feel, but this is individual. The goal is progress, not perfection.
Yes. LEAN is about sustainable lifestyle habits. You’ll learn how alcohol affects your metabolism and how to make choices that still align with your goals.
We aim for a consistent 12-hour fasting window each day — simply giving your body a break from food overnight. Some clients choose to fast a bit longer (14–16 hours), but that’s optional and based on your comfort and schedule.
Intermittent fasting focuses on when you eat, and when paired with balanced nutrition, it can support appetite control, blood sugar balance, and fat loss.
Fasting is just one tool in the program, and we’ll help you use it in a way that fits your lifestyle and goals.
No. LEAN is not a low-carb or keto program. We focus on balanced macro management and whole food nutrition. Carbohydrates are included — you’ll learn how to find the right balance for your body and goals.
Macros are carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Macro management means learning how to balance these nutrients so your meals keep you satisfied, support steady energy, and help you reach your goals. Instead of only focusing on calories, we focus on how food quality and balance impact your results.
No gym is required. Workouts can be done at home or in the gym, and movement is always flexible. Nutrition is the foundation of the program, so don’t let exercise limitations stop you from starting.
A few dumbbells or kettlebells are helpful. Having lighter weights and one heavier set is ideal. Other equipment, like a jump rope, is optional.
Yes. You’re welcome to continue any workouts you enjoy. The program is flexible, and consistency matters more than doing a specific routine.
No. Everything is run through the Amanda Nighbert app. You do not need any social media accounts.
No. The program is fully online and designed to fit your schedule.
No. There are no required shakes, pills, or special products. I may suggest optional supplements, but they are not necessary for success.

Yes, with a few modifications. Nutrition needs are different during breastfeeding, so we focus on supporting your energy and nutrient intake first. Some moms may choose to focus more on nourishment than weight loss during this time. If your milk supply is affected, we can pause and adjust your plan.

LEAN is built around balanced, whole-food nutrition and sustainable habits, which can be supportive for many people with medical conditions. However, everyone’s health history is different. I always recommend checking with your healthcare provider before starting any nutrition or exercise program, especially if you have a diagnosed condition or are taking medications.
As a Registered Dietitian, I focus on helping you apply these principles safely and realistically, but LEAN is not a substitute for medical care.
Yes. We adjust meal timing and fasting strategies to fit your schedule. Night shift can be challenging, but with a few tweaks, it is absolutely doable.
Because you receive immediate access to program materials, all sales are final. Please review the details carefully and email us with any questions before enrolling. If your timing changes, we’re happy to move your registration to a future session.
