“I lost 12 pounds a few years ago- I did not track- just tried to eat a fat, fiber, green and protein at each meal. The weight was creeping back up- now I call it my red number!!! I joined this 7 weeks and am back down 4 pounds where I feel great. I’ve lost the tummy bloat and understand I was not eating nearby enough protein and the electrolytes are a game changer. I had never carb cycled before. I’ve learned so much ! At one time I weighed 121 and cannot get there again- I was chasing a number. Now I am chasing a feeling- and I feel great. I weighed 123 today- I think that’s my green number. I am ready for maintenance- and maybe reverse dieting. I think that’s how my weight started to go back up on the first place. I am so interested in all this information- I am going to get my functional nutrition certificate. I will start class in January. My son 24 year old has Hoshimotos- and I really want to convince him diet can change so much (his endo dr says it won’t. Very frustrating- and 24 year old student working on his Masters, researching and working have terrible eating habits!). I’d love to be a coach like Sammi and Amanda. I can’t wait to learn more in the MM.”
“This program has been amazing and I’m so incredibly thankful I did it, even though I knew I’d be on fun summer weekends and not be able to be on point the whole time. But what I learned was that THIS IS LIFE! No better time than now! I still have to do my measurements but I know on the scale I lost 8 pounds and my before and after photos show it! I guess I’m most encouraged because I wasn’t perfect all the time, but still made progress! 😉I’ll be continuing on the program and can’t wait for more to come. Here are my photos. I have NEVER in my life shown pictures like this. 😬 so this is big for me. I have a lot longer to go, but I’m ready to tackle it! Good luck to everyone and hope to see you in the monthly!”
“I am so excited to see my results each month with the monthly as well as all of the knowledge that you get from the program. I have learned so much useful information and also unlearned so much misinformation that was holding me back.”
“Down 11.4lbs and 14.75 inches!! I seriously cannot believe how much looser the same pair of shorts fit!! I was so nervous about signing up for LEAN— I almost talked myself out of it multiple times thinking that it would be too hard or that I wouldn’t be able to stick with it. I’m so glad I did it! I love that LEAN is doable for busy people and that I never felt like I was starving myself! I am excited to continue with everything I’ve learned and learn more in the monthly membership!”
“I’m the happiest I’ve ever been!! Here’s why, everything I learned in LEAN well it works!! I’ve tried on and off different plans and workout over the last 4 year but this I applied all strategies and stayed consistent! Overall I’ve lost 5 lbs., 4 inches overall. Now my blood work is amazing, triglycerides dropped 52 points, and HDL dropped 56-50 now. My ratio Amanda’s taught us was 2.214 in April and now 1.44. Now Insulin was 15.3 in April and now 10.6. I could cry literally over the achievements! I’m so thankful for LEAN, for Amanda and Sammie, for all the education and support! So much love for y’all!”
“LEAN has been one of the most rewarding investments I could have ever done for myself! I was diagnosed with Hashimotos at the end of January. I was overweight, thin hair, no menstrual cycle and had no idea where to start. I had followed Amanda for a long time and decided I was going to give LEAN a go. I knew for a long time I had a bad relationship with food and my emotions around food were always fearful – is this good/bad, will it make me bloat, etc. I was also the typical all of nothing mindset when it came to eating and working out. LEAN allowed me to detach from my old way of thinking about food, body image, the scale and nutrition. I went from eating less than 900 calories a day (learned this from tracking my typical day in prep week) to eating 1500 calories a day. I am amazed at my results!! Even though my numbers aren’t astounding or a quick transformation they are a sign that I have begun to repair my relationship with food and have confidence to keep doing this in the future. I have also been able to avoid needing any prescription medications and my Hashimotos is considered managed by lifestyle. As a bonus my husband is in the 3/15 LEAN groups, so we’ve been able to partner in our journey to better health! Below are some of the NSVs I also found from the program. I’m down 6lb and 10 inches!
I will be going at it on my own next and I plan to incorporate exercise more. I felt that because of my relationship with food, I needed to focus there for the first 7 weeks and it has been so dang rewarding!“
“Not finished with this journey. I have learned such great health information. Hoping to be able to get off one of my blood pressure medicines. Also hoping now I will not have to get on cholesterol medicine. It has made a huge difference having support! Thank you so much!“
Amanda!! You are a wizard!! I had been doing burn boot camp faithfully for a year before starting LEAN. I would go 4 days a week and I was eating paleo 80% of the time. I was STILL stuck and not losing much weight (I lost about 10 pounds in a year, but my body fat percentage stayed the same). I dabbled in carb cycling with the transform app, but was so confused and wasn’t seeing many results. I am SO thankful that my friend told me about your LEAN program!!!!!! You have changed my life!! Your program is so easy to understand and follow and it has truly become my new lifestyle! it completely changed my view of macros (I finally understand them 🤣) and food! I have lost 21 pounds and 12 inches in 7 weeks!!! I FEEL so much better! I sleep through the night now!!
When the covid-19 insanity started, I knew that staying dialed in would help me stay on top of my game at work and it did!!! The OLD me would have been binge eating and drinking a bottle of wine every night, but I had absolutely zero desire to do that because I knew it would make me feel like crap!
I’m SO thankful for you and your genius LEAN program! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Amanda,
I wanted to reach out and sincerely thank you!! Steve and I did our weight and measurements before we left for Vegas to celebrate his 40th birthday. We each lost 15 pounds! Steve lost over 10 inches and I am down 7 inches!
But what I really want to thank you for is changing my relationship with food. I’ve done fad diets in the past and got down to this weight but I knew at the end it wasn’t a real lifestyle change and I couldn’t sustain it. We’ve reached the end of 7 weeks and I can’t wait to keep going. To me this isn’t an end but just the beginning of a transformation journey. Your education, support and daily encouragement has been paramount in my success. Food has become a fuel for me rather than a comfort or crutch. I feel so much better overall. I sleep better, my stress level has significantly decreased and my energy levels have improved. Overall I just feel happier in life and all of that happened when I started the LEAN program!
Additionally, one of the added perks of this program was the fact I got to do it with my husband. Throughout the last 7 weeks it has brought us closer. We’ve connected on another level by supporting each other and celebrating our successes. We are excited to continue this journey together.
So again, thank you!! Thank you for preaching progress and not perfection. It has allowed me to be human and accept my failures but to get right back to my progress.
Warm Regards, Jessica
I’ve felt so much stronger and more energized since beginning the program. I sleep so well now and I’ve gone down two pant sizes. I’m getting muscles I’ve never had before. Amanda is so supportive and ensures everyone stays on track. She has been so helpful and quick to answer any questions I have had. I’m so thankful to have found the LEAN program!

“This program really makes a healthy lifestyle attainable for everyone no matter how busy your life is. I am amazed at the energy I have and the changes I’m already seeing only 3 weeks in (including prep week). This lifestyle change is how I plan to live, eat, and view food from here on out. Thanks Amanda!” — Kristen C
“A friend recommended the program to me, and I thought I would try it to jumpstart some post-partum weight loss (never mind my baby is almost 3 yrs old). The program motivated me to start strength training (which I had been procrastinating about). I figured, it couldn’t hurt. It encourages intermittent fasting, and although I was afraid I would die if I worked out in the morning on an empty stomach, in fact I did not die, my body adjusted, and I kept getting stronger. The 7 week program coincided with possibly the most insanely busy 7 weeks of my life, and yet- I managed to navigate business travel, vacation, and a house move while seeing results. This is something that is doable for the most busy mama (even a single, full-time working mama like me). Nourishing and strengthening your body is an investment worth making, and always pays dividends in the long run (not to mention the 11 pounds and 12 inches I lost in 7 weeks). I’ve signed up for round 2 to cement the good habits and hopefully to springboard my body to even more success! Thank you, Amanda!” — Stephanie B.
I am so excited about sharing this program with friends and family! With very little exercise, but tight accountability on nutrition I have lost weight and inches I never thought I would. Not only did I reap the benefits of this program but my entire family has seen changes in their bodies and gained a love for healthier foods versus the dreaded drive thru. This is not a “diet” it’s a lifestyle change and I love the way it has changed me! — Christina
“This is progress, this is me feeling so much better, this is me living my life in a real way (including white claws and cheese occasionally 😂), this is my clothes (bathing suits in particular) fitting better, and most importantly this is me continuing to realize that this lifestyle is sustainable and one I will continue to imbed in my life forever! #chaseafeelingnotanumber”
“Super happy with my progress! Lost 10lbs and over 7 inches. Most excited that I lost 2 inches from each thigh. I’ve really learned so much over the past 6 weeks and ready to crush it in the monthly membership. My biggest take away from this has been ditching the all or nothing mindset. Also, by optimizing protein, I’ve noticed I don’t crave the junk food like I used to. My biggest win in these 6 weeks was not allowing life challenges to derail my progress. My dad had a massive heart attack at the beginning of week 6. This caused me to have to travel to be with my parents most of week 6. While I had to eat out more than I would have liked, I made the best choices available to me and still managed to lose weight. And the best part is my Dad should make a full recovery! Thank you Amanda, you have really changed my life.”
“I made my goals!!!! I lost 8 pounds and 6 inches. The program worked for me and I will continue with my new life style. Thank you.”
“Down 15 lbs and feeling great! Excited to keep going! Didn’t think I could lose weight where my calorie count was set, but I did 😁. Don’t feel like I have to starve myself in order to lose weight anymore!”
This program was eye opening for me. I didn’t realize how poorly I was doing at eating the proper foods. The amount of coffee I drank, and how I dressed it up, was a big contributor of hidden calories. The fasting was and still is very empowering and the science behind it seems very solid. I have noticed significant health benefits as well. I am sleeping much better, I have almost completely stopped snoring. I am sure I had some mild sleep apnea which has improved. I also have something called keratosis pilaris which for lack of a better term – pimples on the back of the arm. I had a lot of them. There are not a lot of scientific studies, but there has been a suggestion between the condition and gluten sensitivity. As a physician, I downplayed the gluten free issue as a fad and overstated. I am not so sure now. After only 7 weeks my keratosis pilaris is almost completely clear. These physical changes were huge for me. I also noted the mental benefits of better sleep, feeling more fit, and overall I have a better disposition. I have lost over 15 pounds in 7 weeks and look forward to the next 7. -Paul T.
“19 pounds gone and 10 inches leaner!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I’m already looking forward to what I learn the next 6 weeks. I can slip my wedding ring on and off my finger with ease, I can wear a smaller shirt size and don’t feel the need to cover up with oversized t-shirts, and what about my chin (singular)!! Lol! My knees and back don’t hurt. I’m resting better, I have more energy, and my skin looks better! I have learned the why behind what I’m doing and I feel empowered to make good choices without having to follow a scripted plan because I understand and have developed nutritional awareness over these 6 weeks. My children are eating what we prepare with a couple tweaks here and there and I know they are benefiting from this lifestyle change as well!!!”
“After 2 rounds I’m down 24.5 pounds and 14.5 inches. I’m so glad I did the measurements and photos. If I had solely relied on the scale I would be disappointed with my progress after this repeater round as I’ve only lost 3 pounds in the last 7 weeks; however I’ve lost 4.5 inches and can see definite progress in photos! I really focused on exercise this round. I was shocked in the beginning when I couldn’t do a full sit up. My abs (or lack of abs) were SO WEAK! Just yesterday I did an advanced workout with sit ups and completed ALL of them! Thank you for this program and your honesty and encouragement during this corona virus pandemic. I am signing up for the monthly elite group today!”
“I showed my 10 year old son my pics and he said, “mom you went from a flab pack to a six pack” lol!”
“I am truly blown away by the LEAN Program. I am a physician, and I have always used my crazy hospital schedule as an excuse. I don’t have time to eat healthy or exercise as my schedule is crazy with some 60+ hour work weeks. I have no energy or motivation to work out. There’s no way I could do a program like this with intermittent fasting because of my ever changing schedule from day to day and week to week. Those were my excuses. Boy was I wrong.
That’s what I have loved about LEAN, it’s flexible to fit your schedule. My eating window changes every day, I just always make sure I fast 16 hours from whatever time I finished eating dinner the night before. Before LEAN, I always had the “all or none” mindset. So I would do good for a week and then fail, so I just gave up. I love my new mindset of “Progress Not Perfection”. I may have an off day, or maybe go over on my macros one day but that’s ok. Tomorrow is a new day. I have loved pre-logging my items into MFP so it helps me have awareness of what I’m putting in. I can make tweaks as needed. The fasting has been a lot easier than I expected it to be. I hit over 90oz of water every day now thanks to fasting. Who knew “hunger” could just mean you’re thirsty.
In 2 back to back rounds I have lost 18.4 pounds and 11.5 inches. The best part of all is I feel AMAZING! I want to shout it from the rooftops, Go Try LEAN! I have more energy, I sleep better, I’m stronger and the best part, I feel confident! I’m so happy I made the decision to focus on me back in April. I love how this has become a lifestyle for me and not just a “diet.” I can’t wait to see where I’m at in another 3 months.”
“Thank you for creating this program. A former gym-mate recommended LEAN after she got incredible results and I’m so glad that my first week of LEAN just happened to line up with the start of my working from home due to COVID19. You helped my husband and me regain thoughtfulness about our nutrition and we find so much joy in cooking together – what a wonderful gift during an otherwise stressful time! I’m also happy to share that I’ve continued to use the strategies I learned from you, which has allowed me to not only maintain my weight loss during quarantine, but actually lose another 3.5 pounds and 5 more inches, taking me back to my pre-pregnancy weight!”
“I so appreciate your dedication to each client and this lifestyle. I can’t imagine how much time and energy you spend making sure we have all our questions answered and daily feedback given. On top of that, your positivity through your social media stories and Q&A videos really motivated me to continue this program as I am known to be a quitter of lifestyle changes and diets. (I started the whole 30 program 5 times and finished it…0). My mom and two aunts took part in this program with me and we have all raved about how amazing this 7 weeks has been. I never thought it was possible for me to lose this weight and gain muscle without really restricting my calories. I am so happy with my results. I know there were days when I tested my macros, had more wine than I should have, so there is room for improvement moving forward. The great thing is that I am so motivated to continue and feel comfortable managing everything on my own, knowing I can always come back and really reset.”
“I lost 6 pounds and 6 inches 🙂 I have consistently worked out and been super active for many years. I have eaten gluten free for years, have tried paleo and keto, completely sugar free and nothing was sustainable. I was confused about how to eat with so many different “diets” out there. I finally feel like I have an answer! This program is so easy to do for the rest of your life because you don’t feel like you have to deprive yourself. Fasting has become a great thing for me- my mind is clearer and I have way more energy. I did a juice cleanse with my friends a few years ago and didn’t last 8 hours. Knowing I can do 24 hours was a huge win mentally for me! Thank you Amanda for clearing up my confusion and giving me a clear direction for nutrition for the rest of my life!”
“Three years ago I was shocked to find out my A1C was a 7.0 which is full diabetes (type 2). I had to accept that I did this to myself from years of unhealthy eating and I was the one that had to fix it. I exercised and tried several diets over the past couple of years and managed to get off of the medicine. However, my numbers still hovered between 6.0 – 6.5 for the past two years. My “off scale victory” today was getting results of a 5.6 A1C level. Levels under 5.7 are considered normal. LEAN has given me the tools I needed to live a longer, healthier life!!”
“If you want to do something good (and nice) for yourself, then the LEAN program is for you. I am 55+ years and was looking for a way to get back to the “younger” me. For the past 5 years, my work was incredibly stressful, and I did not have the energy to take the best care of myself. I was in survival mode. A year ago, I had tried a very well known program (one that promotes free points) as many people that I know have had success with the program. However, after following the program for 3 months, I lost a total of 5 pounds and no loss of inches. I was diligent in following the program but the program didn’t work for me. It was my fate that I learned about the LEAN program. My friend’s sister was visiting from California and she was the person who introduced me to the LEAN program. I was so intrigued listening to and seeing the results she had achieved. The LEAN program is so amazing in many avenues. First and foremost, it is a scientifically based program which is important to me as I have a science background. Secondly, Amanda and her staff are so encouraging and responsive to any questions that I had. Amanda has such a vast knowledge base and is so enthusiastic in sharing her knowledge to help you achieve not only weight loss, but a healthy lifestyle. I always enjoyed listening to the podcasts. They were so educational. I love her mantra, “Progress, not Perfection.” I did not have all perfect days but there was always constructive feedback provided. It’s incredible that the nutritional regimen of intermittent fasting, carbohydrate cycling, and exercise will lead you to the path of success. Over the seven weeks, I lost a total of 14 inches and 13 pounds (9.6% of my starting weight). I knew I was losing weight by week 4 as my scrubs were loose!!!! What a great feeling! People at work noticed too! As you can tell, I am totally onboard with the concepts I learned in the LEAN program. I will incorporate everything I learned and feel whole heartedly that I will follow the core concepts for a very, very long time!!!!! I encourage all of you to try the program. You will not be disappointed! Kudos to Amanda and her wonderful team. I can’t thank you enough. I haven’t felt this great in many, many years. I no longer will dread scheduling my yearly physical and that is a testament in itself.” — Jacqueline G.
“I am teary eyed as I type this. I have tried every diet/ weight loss program you can name over the past 15-20 years. None of the programs worked or gave me tools to sustain weight loss. In May 2018 I was diagnosed with breast cancer and went in to have a double mastectomy in July. It was a really dark few months mentally and physically. I was blessed to not have to endure chemo or radiation but was put on a hormone blocker for the next 5-10 years to keep my chance of reoccurrence low. This medication has many side effects but the main one that I kept seeing was WEIGHT GAIN!!! More weight on top of what I already weighed was scary. I was a little skeptical that I could actually lose weight on this program at age 57 and menopausal. I felt the deck was stacked against me but I am thrilled with my results!!! I have more weight to lose but I know I can achieve my goal with this plan! Thank you Amanda for sharing your knowledge! I am down 15.8 pounds and a total of 10.5 inches!!”
