"You guys are terrific. I’m doing very good I just can't believe this has worked so well for me. It has actually changed and possibly saved my life. I have been chronically obese my whole life. I look forward to every class and support audio. Lou sometimes mentioned we probably wish it were over... not me. I look forward to his very sensible programs. I would recommend this program to any one who like me who wants to live a life of lean. I 'm loosing weight (100+ pounds) and don't even have to be on a diet!!!!! I just had some tension in my life and would have eaten for two days in my old frame of mind and I zoomed through the problem with no binges of anything. Like I said before you, guys are all terrific and I can't wait to tell everyone who will listen."- Bonnie Meyer, FL
"I'm doing great living in the vision of Living Lean™. For the first time I'm in control. Thank you soooo much."

"I have lost about 11 pounds but more importantly, I've become much more conscious of what I'm eating and why. I now am eating more fruit, vegetables, and healthy foods. I'm making better choices when I shop by reading labels and staying within a range that they describe as 'living lean thinking'."

"I survived the holidays and whenever I start a pity party I stop... read creed...pity all gone. (Urges have been so few and quiet sometimes I don't even realize I need to creed.) I've survived Halloween, trips to our houseboat (non-stop snacking), opening a restaurant (non-stop stress and breaks from dawn till midnight) and even a false accusation which threatened my husbands life (complete breakdown) and I haven't munched. I have been truly amazed. I weighed myself for the two month mark and found I have lost 18lbs! This is unbelievable for my body but the part that it harder to show to those people starting to comment on my change is the freedom, peace and control that I feel in my life. I am seeing how much Fear and victimization controls so many aspects in my life, not just with food. Oh and in keeping in the conversation of lean, last Saturday I ‘ran’ in a 10K. It was the first time I have ever been in a race event. I was 2nd to last but I did it, I finished! I still can't believe it but I am acknowledging myself like mad."

"My company recommended the Living Lean™ program under the umbrella of their "Wellness" program. They even offered a reimbursement upon completion of the program, so I figured there was little to lose! That pretty well sums up my "low expectations" of what I would personally gain in going through the program. Since I never considered myself terribly "overweight", I was primarily interested in improving my eating habits and lowering my cholesterol. During the initial 5 weeks of participating in the program, I began to realize the wider possibilities of getting a handle on my eating habits! The most important insight I gained was the substitution of a positive goal for living lean instead of all the negative's normally associated with simply trying to diet. In my case, I chose to focus on the enjoyment I would receive from the renewed energy and stamina that would allow me to play basketball with my two youngest daughters. At the end of the course I had eliminated my "main munch", which was afternoon trips to the vending machines at work. I lost about 12 pounds in the process. I also started a daily walk of at least 1 mile at a 20 minute pace. Now, after two additional months, I have lost a total of 23 pounds, and my cholesterol has returned to normal. My walking has increased to 4 miles, 5 days a week at a 15 minute/mile pace, and I fixed the basketball hoop and have had the enjoyment of shooting hoops with my girls! I'll be repeating the program this summer to work on another issue, this one involving the candy dishes that seem to everywhere I turn at work! Your program worked for me! I am impressed by its simple common sense approach to a problem that most of us face - lack of discipline when it comes to satisfying ourselves. Thank you again."

"I thoroughly enjoyed your program. It really worked for me. I lost 20 lbs, but most importantly, I am continually living a lean lifestyle. I haven't had my Comfort foods in 7 weeks and don't even miss them. I praise God for your program and thank Him for using you to make a difference in peoples lives (mine especially)."

"Living Lean™ has helped me soooo much. I started out with an open mind but a small part thought I could never get rid of the sweets. I no longer eat sweets, any kind. I have no cravings for them at all any more. I can not believe how well I feel and confident. I love how free I feel. I have lost 59 lbs and have gone down a size or two. My husband just started and is also losing weight (in three weeks he has lost 15 lbs) and looking better. Thank you once again and looking forward to the real talk sessions."

"Life changing, worthy, challenging, excellent… judges give it a ten."
Jill Doris, Director of Wellness, Mallinckrodt Corp.
"I'm writing to give you a little update on how I'm doing with the Living Lean™ program. Well, just like I thought I would, I love the program. It is different than anything else I've ever tried, and for me it is very empowering and effective. I think it is great for people like me that have tried every program and diet out there, because I think we tend to get stuck in a mental state of rules, no-no's, counting, measuring, weighing, deprivation, frustration, and ultimately, hopelessness. That's where I was. I felt like I was successful and competent in most areas of my life, but with "dieting" I always felt like a failure. This program is all about choices and empowerment, positives, not negatives, and I am succeeding."
Shari Wasserman
"I wanted my share my thankfulness that you made these programs available to us. I've had weight control problems all my adult life. It's been a life changing experience. I'm thrilled to say that I've lost 38 lbs since beginning my participation in the program. More importantly, the program has changed how I think about food. This is the first program that addressed forthrightly and honestly my desire to eat in an unhealthy manner."

"Outstanding in design and results. It’s clearly the best in the nation."
Dr. Michael Wooley M.D., F.C.C.P., St Luke Hospital and Medical Center
"I can’t find enough adjectives to describe the program. Life altering. I am in the process of applying it to all aspects of my life, not just food. My brother signed up after I directed him to the site. This in itself is beyond a miracle!!! I gave him Lou’s website on purpose because I wanted to experience the possibilities, the benefits of the program. I completed the training once and am now on lesson 8, Level 2, if you will, with Living Lean™. Extraordinary. To say I am grateful just doesn’t express the impact this has had on my life. Again, thanks for all your support and help over the past few months."
