Unlock the Power of Fasting Physiology.
Most weight-loss diets are based on restriction and depend on your level of self control. That almost never works long term. The truth is that successful weight loss FIRST requires the healing of your metabolism. A well functioning metabolism naturally maintains a healthy weight - effortlessly. In this second phase of LFL, you'll learn how to leverage fasting physiology to optimize your metabolism. We'll support you through your healing journey so that you can achieve effective, healthy, and lasting weight loss.
Why Fasting?
Fasting impacts your body in a very different way than just eating less calories. When you get into a fasting state, you unlock ancient and important metabolic pathways in your body. These pathways accelerate your metabolic health by releasing protective hormones, improving insulin resistance, and switching you into 'fat burning mode'. These differences make fasting easier, safer, and more effective for weight loss than traditional 'calorie cutting'.

You can attend virtually from anywhere.

-RC
"I lost 9.5 lbs. I didn’t take measurements before, but can already feel clothes a little looser. Prior to the plan, I was having acid reflux often and that stopped completely. I feel much better eating this way and this program was a good reset for me."
-SH
"Having recently completed the Lean for Life program I can tell you there are no easier options. You have both a recipe based option, all of which are straightforward and come with a shopping list! The other option was a sheet to check off and meet goals in certain categories. I have never seen a program that was as easy and really sets you up for success during and after the program!"
-Anonymous
"I lost about 5 lbs. my appetite is better and I have more energy "
-JO
"I always learn something new at each seminar with LFL! I love having the weekly meal plans and check list to take the work out of guessing. Recipes are easy to make and easily adaptable for families. Aside from weight loss, I’ve noticed that I have more energy, less cravings for unhealthy foods and clearer skin! It’s a wonderful tool that can easily become a lifestyle over a diet."

FAQ
- I'm terrified of fasting. Should I do this?
- In this course, you'll learn about fasting physiology, and how to leverage it best for your gender, age, and activity level.
- You won't be forced into an extreme, horrible fasting experience. You're in control to choose between different levels. You can start with even just 'fasting' 12 hours each day (i.e. eating from 7am - 7pm).
- What gender is this for?
- All gender identities are welcome in Lean for Life.
- A small part of the program does explore differences in fasting physiology between men and women.
- Who is this ideal for?
- You're right for Lean for Life if you struggle with your weight, have metabolic problems (i.e. blood pressure, cholesterol, insulin resistance), and/or want to optimize your body's ageing process.
- Fasting also induces a process (autophagy) that cleans out cells, reducing your risk for cancer, dementia, and metabolic syndrome. So, you're also a good fit for LFL if you want to learn how to get those benefits.
- Who should not do this?
- Not everyone is a good fit for fasting. You're not in the right place for this program if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, if you are underweight (BMI<19), experience hypoglycemia, or have adrenal dys-regulation (i.e. anxiety, insomnia, extreme fatigue).
- Athletes also may not be a good fit, especially if you are an endurance athlete.
- Please contact us if you're unsure if you should join.
- What is ProLon?
- Prolon is a 5-day meal kit that is scientifically designed and proven to induce fasting physiology. So, you get the benefits of a 5-day fast without actually fasting (you eat about 4 times each day).
- You'll have the option of going through a ProLon with the group (with daily coaching) in week 3 of the program.
- You'll also get a discount on your ProLon kit. Learn more about ProLon HERE.
- What if I haven't done LFL Phase 1 (Heal)?
- Ideally, you should complete LFL phase 1 before phase 2, because phase 1 teaches you the right way to eat WHEN you're eating. However, it's not mandatory.
- During week 1 of this program, you will get a brief overview of the eating pattern that you should follow during your 'eating window'. You'll also have access to resources and support for questions.
