LFL In A Nut Shell

[tchrmgr]

Thanks for your info. I'm a newbie. Just finished the three day initial proteins. That was hard! But what exactly can I eat on the regular days? Can you give me a sample menu?

Thanks!

Thanks!

I had berries and cottage cheese for breakfast
snack will be yogurt
lunch 2c lettuce, tomato, 3oz of lean steak, and a slice of fresh pineapple
afternoon snack: protein shake
dinner: well.. tonight.. tonight we are going to RED LOBSTER... LOL! so my dinner will be a little bit off... LOL !
but I will have a salad.. dressing on the side... Admirals feast.. with veggies.. and not going to have the butter.. but lemon .. etc.. just trying to enjoy the dinner but modify it as much as I can to make it somewhat fit on the LFL plan

Usually we have for dinner 2c lettuce.. with a tomato.. a protein.. fish,or chicken etc.. a little bit of veggies..from the list.. and a fruit also from the list.
I love fresh fruits and veggies etc.. so I usually have no problem following the plan.
Just print out the list and eat off the list. 4-6 meals.. 3 main meals.. 3 snacks. the snacks are usually protein.. low fat and low cals.

Hi I'm new to this site and think I am going to try this plan.
Will let you know how it goes

Bone,
I am also a maintainer, lost 60 lbs. on LFL about five years ago and have kept it off by going back onto the diet every now and then when I gain a little. The key to success for me was not to learn how to stay on a diet, but to learn how to get right back on track after going off for a while. I am on it now to try to lose another 10 lbs. before a trip to Hawaii, but of course those last few always come off a lot slower.

2 questions Please

I have been on Lindora LFL and I've lost 11 lbs have been stuck at 223 for 4 days, the counselor gave me the plateau diet but I wonder should I still use the benefiber during plateau?

Also does anyone have a basic shopping list for the weightloss or protein days?

Thank so much and Good luck to everyone

Hi Everyone,
I am new to your forum and my husband and I will be starting the LFL program in a couple of days. I should receive my LFL starter package in the mail tomorrow along with some of there protein foods. I have a long way to go as I would like to loose 115 pounds. I did LFL about 15 years ago I did it through the clinic and did very well but this time there cost was more than I can afford so I am doing it online...
I'm going to need alot of support this time I also have some nerve injuries which prevent me from doing alot of exercise which isn't going to help
I know I will have many questions for everyone.
Wishing Luck to Everyone
Dawn

Hi Dawn
Wondering how you and your hubby are doing on LFL? Be sure to pop back in and let us know.

I just follow the book and don't eat any bars or shakes. I don't even think I can get them up here (I'm in Canada)

I'm new to the site and just starting LFL.

I have a question about the cycle. Right now I'm on my Protein days, and getting ready to go into the WL phase. Once I complete that & the MA phase, and ready to repeat the cycle again, do I start off with the 3 Protein days again, or do I start from the WL phase?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Chubby Kitten
After MA, you start fresh again with 3 protein days.

Thanks! So far, I'm loving this. I don't feel deprived at all. I can't believe how much lettuce we have to eat in a day, lol Good thing I like lettuce.

Another question. Are we allowed to chew sugar free gum? If so, are there limitations on how much we can have?

Thanks again for your help!

I chew sugarfree gum all the time. But in the beginning I would count it towards my daily allowance of 50 carbs or less per day. One piece of sugarfree gum is 1 carb. Also in the weightloss phase, you sometimes have bad breath. Sugarfree minty gum helped with that, as well as curbing my appetite. If my mouth feels minty, I am less likely to want to eat something I shouldn't.
