“I’m super happy with my progress. Down 12.5 lbs and 11.3 inches. I feel good and I think I look better than I have in 20 years!!  Last week was a vacation week… Seven days in Aruba, it’s hard to do things right in a hotel room so I gave myself a pass.  I had an amazing time! I tried to eat well and tried to stay light on the drinks. I have to say that the Mai Tai’s were a killer!  But I’m back today doing a 24 hour fast to get started and into eating healthy again.  My biggest take away from this whole experience is not having an all or none  mindset. I had a week of fun, let myself loose and now I’m ready to go back to the healthy way of eating. Before I would just continue right on as I did on vacation but not this time. My will power has changed and I attribute it to the fantastic support I have gotten on this program.  Thank you!!“

“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!

-Regular monthly menstrual cycles – this alone would have been worth it as we are TTC

-Empowered and equipped to fuel my body and plan nutritious meals

-Confident I will know how to support my body through a pregnancy when that time comes

-My clothes fit better

-I wake up easier in the morning

-I want to move my body each day – even if it’s just a walk

-I don’t even want to use my scale anymore (!!!)

-Sleep is better

-My skin is less broken out

-I enjoy cooking health recipes

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!“

“Sleeping much better- recognizing foods that make me tired- and starting to gain confidence back in myself. Proud too because I sometimes have a hard time sticking to and finishing things, and I did it!“

“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!”

Even if I didn’t have a scale, I could tell by the fit of my clothes (baggy) and the new muscle definition that the program was working! Since starting your program almost 7 weeks ago, I have lost 13 pounds and 10 inches!!!! I could not be happier – especially because aside from those awesome numbers, I feel amazing. I am sleeping better, I have more energy during the day, my complexion is as clear as it has ever been, and meal prepping on the weekends has made my weekday after-work routine stress-free! Now when my son asks “what’s for dinner” I don’t cringe!! I cannot tell you the satisfaction I get out of preparing healthy delicious dinners for my family, knowing I’m taking care of our health. I didn’t have success with a “diet” – I created a lifestyle change that I can use to keep us healthy and feeling good for the foreseeable future. The value of that is immeasurable. The community, constant support and accountability of your program are the best features, anyone can give instructions, but to have that backbone of feedback and encouragement is crucial. I’m already signed up for the next round…not because I’m unhappy with my results, but because I’m so happy, I want to make sure these new habits are completely ingrained and will last forever. Thank you beyond words for all you do!

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!

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!! 

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.

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!! -LEAN Client

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! -Heidi

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.

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 now drink water instead of Diet Coke. I’m eating vegetables that I haven’t even tried before and I’m loving it, and so is my family! I am prepping meals that allow for me and my family to eat much healthier. My daughter with RA feels so much better eating healthy and cutting out the dairy and gluten. It’s been a much needed change in our lives. I’ve lost 15 pounds and 10 inches total. Feeling fabulous! Thank you!! -Lisa

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 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.

Your program is the BOMB!! To date I have lost 43 pounds and 35.5 inches. I am still continuing to lose. Your nutritional strategies are the best. I could not have imagined that I would be here 6 months earlier. I was post menopausal and never dreamed that I would ever be able to get rid of the extra weight. LEAN is like nothing I have ever tried before. So thankful that you always remind us that it’s “progress not perfection.” It has forever changed my life. I will forever be thankful! -Becky J
