Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Real Deal
If you are serious about fat loss and your health... this book is a must have.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Do G**gle search first
For truly entertaining reading, do a lookup for "scam cliff sheats lean bodies" and click on North Texas Skeptics. The article will give you an astounding insight into the author and the program. The Dallas Morning News article backs up the skeptical viewpoint. I did the lookup without the word "scam" and got hundreds of endorsements by believers; thank heaven that I'm somewhat skeptical too.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great Book! It seems to be working for me!
Well, I've been reading this book and following it for 2 months now. I haven't been a 100% about it, eating some carbs at night, and I cheat a few times. But I have been following the work out regimen and I have noticed a difference in how I feel and my energy level. I feel that I have leaned up. I feel great!

I bought both this book and his other book, Lean Bodies Total Fitness and I liked his other one better. There are more workout regimens and it has some recipes. But both were extremely helpful for my energy level and endurance.




Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Still a Great Program
I don't see any recent reviews for this program and I think it is really a shame. I have been on several different weight loss programs and I always find myself returning to this one. Why? Because I believe in the principles it is founded on, ie, that you cannot diet restrictively for the rest of your life without messing up your metabolism. This program is based on raising your metabolism and helping it to recover from years of yo-yo dieting by actually increasing the amount you eat, starting from a base of 1500 calories for women and 1800 for men and slowly increasing intake. Quite a different take on dieting! The calories, however, are comprised of specific foods, mostly consisting of a little protein (about 3 oz), some carbs (baked potato or brown rice), and lots (minimum of two cups) of vegetables at each meal. If you follow the program, you will not be hungry at all.

So, why did I go off the program? Following it at the 1500 calorie level, I did lose about a pound or two a week and I could actually see and feel my body becoming leaner. However, when I tried to increase the calorie level, per the recommendations, I would start to gain back. Maybe I have already ruined my metabolism or it could simply be due to an aging metabolism that no longer needs high levels of calories. So, I left the program. However, I have returned to it twice, now, even after sampling WW, South Beach, and others. Because it works and I find it an easy one to follow. Compared to lots of other highly restrictive diets (1200 calories and under), I think this is a generous allotment of calories at which to remain, indefinitely. Also, this is the level of calories that will maintain my goal weight, once I reach it, so it makes sense just to eat at that level now and no further adjustments will then be necessary when I reach my goal weight (credit to Ray Kurzweil for that idea).

In principle, this program is somewhat similar to Volumetrics (eating fiber rich, filling foods) and WW's Core program, but it preceded both by many years. With all of the different plans out there, I like the simple sanity of this one. I have learned not to throw my Lean Bodies books away because I always end up returning to this plan, and scrambling to find them. I just can't figure out why this program has fallen into relative obscurity. Perhaps this is lucky since you can get used copies of them very inexpensively. For me, this program is a keeper. As a side note, I do not use the MCT oil, or the supplements recommended in the book. I substitue protein shakes and the like that I find at Whole Foods or Trader Joes. And, it still works for me.
