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.

A low carbs/high protein approach to getting rid of those extra pounds, there are a few phases of the Atkins-like program. The first phase, known as "prep," is designed to move the body into a state of ketosis. It allows for 50 to 100 grams of carbs, six servings of protein, 80 ounces of water and a fiber supplement.

Phase two is the month-long weight loss period. One day a week, dieters havea prep day, followed by the standard program for the remainder of the week. Once phase two is finished, there is the metabolic adjustment where the individual gradually adds food back into the person's diet.

Of course, there are plenty of diet-friendly products that support the program including smoothies, shakes, puddings, protein bars, snacks, soupsand more.
