This is a MUST READ……..

"LEAN has been one of the most rewarding investments I could have ever done for myself! I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's at the end of January. I was overweight, thin hair, no menstrual cycle and had no idea where to start. I had followed Amanda for a long time and decided I was going to give LEAN a go. I knew for a long time I had a bad relationship with food and my emotions around food were always fearful - is this good/bad, will it make me bloat, etc. I was also the typical all of nothing mindset when it came to eating and working out. LEAN allowed me to detach from my old way of thinking about food, body image, the scale and nutrition. I went from eating less than 900 calories a day (learned this from tracking my typical day in prep week) to eating 1500 calories a day. I am amazed at my results!! Even though my numbers aren’t astounding or a quick transformation they are a sign that I have begun to repair my relationship with food and have confidence to keep doing this in the future. I have also been able to avoid needing any prescription medications and my Hashimoto's is considered managed by lifestyle. As a bonus my husband is doing LEAN too, so we’ve been able to partner in our journey to better health! Below are some of the NSVs I also found from the program. I’m down 6 lbs and 10 inches!⠀
-Regular monthly menstrual cycles - this alone would have been worth it as we are TTC⠀
-Empowered and equipped to fuel my body and plan nutritious meals⠀
-Confident I will know how to support my body through a pregnancy when that time comes⠀
-My clothes fit better⠀
-I wake up easier in the morning, sleep is better⠀
-I want to move my body each day - even if it’s just a walk⠀
-I don’t even want to use my scale anymore (!!!)⠀
-My skin is less broken out⠀
-I enjoy cooking health recipes
⠀
I felt that because of my relationship with food, I needed to focus there for the first 7 weeks and it has been so dang rewarding!"
