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.

 

After you sign up, we’re happy to provide a detailed receipt with the information typically required for submission so you can move forward with that process.

Yes! LEAN is designed for both men and women. You can add your spouse at checkout for a discounted rate by selecting the spouse add-on option.

Yes! I have clients all over the world! This is a virtual program that is all run through a FREE App. We do not use any social media accounts for this program and you can live anywhere to participate. There are no set meeting times so the program is very flexible for busy people on the go.

No. As soon as you enroll, you’ll receive your comprehensive guide and “getting started” videos so you can begin right away. New sessions begin each month, and you’ll join your private group when the next session opens. I’m available by email if you have questions before your session begins.

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.

If you are trying to conceive, LEAN can help you focus on balanced nutrition and healthy habits. If you become pregnant during the program, we’ll adjust your approach to support your changing needs. Always keep your healthcare provider informed.

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.

Yes. We can adjust your nutrition targets to support strength, energy, and body composition without focusing on weight loss.

No. LEAN is designed to help you build habits that work in real life — at home or away. You’ll learn strategies for staying on track while traveling.

Yes. LEAN focuses on whole foods and can be adapted to a plant-based lifestyle. You’ll receive guidance on meeting your nutrient and protein needs.

Yes. You are not required to eat specific recipes. You’ll learn how to apply LEAN principles to foods you and your family already enjoy. Many meals can be easily adjusted to work for everyone at the table.

Yes. LEAN is designed for busy people. You’ll learn how to plan simple meals, prep efficiently, and make better choices when eating out. A little planning goes a long way.

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.
