And for those who do not have access to the internet, there are Lean For Life books, DVDs and CDs available to buy. The Lean for Life program was developed based on 35 years of treatments at their weight control clinics. The Lean for Life gurus promise to allow dieters to shed up to 10 percent of their bodyweight in only 10 weeks. Patients can assume they will lose between two to five pounds every week.

Among the other changes that individuals following the Lean for Life program can expect to see is a reduction in cravings, a lift in mood and a boost in energy.

Created by Dr. Marshall Stamper, Lean for Life is touted as a medical weight loss program that offers a proven approach to dieting that allows dieters to eat up to six times a day while receiving guidance from medical professionals.
