Summary: Living Lean: The Larry North Program
Review: I have been following the program almost to a "T" (except for the beer on the weekends) for the last 5 weeks and I have had fabulous results! It has been so easy to follow and I NEVER feel hungry. I have lost 15 pounds and several inches. So far, I have gone down 2 sizes and I feel and look much better. I get so many complements now and I am loving life! I plan to stay on this "healthy eating" for the remainder of my life. This is not a diet, this is a way of eating for the heath of it! I would love to speak with Larry to tell him how much I appreciate this and what a world of difference he has made in my life. My husband has also started the program, but he is not as strict as I am and he has lost 24 pounds, go figure! Way to go LARRY NORTH!!

Summary: It works!
Review: I live in Dallas so I am lucky enough to get to hear Larry's terrific weekly motivational radio show. I also work out at one of his gyms. But with the book its like having Larry in your life every day. This program really works. You will not believe how good you'll feel, and how great you'll look after you try it -- results came for me after just a week! You actually eat more and lose weight.

Summary: Larry North
Review: I purchased this program over 1 year ago, and I am sure it is a good product, but it did not work for me. I returned the merchandise and was never refunded my money or the products. I contacted customer serviec on numerous attempts by phone and correspondence and finally the number was disconnected.
I was very disappointed in the product and the customer service and therefore in Larry North, because ultimately his name is on the product. I just want the comsumers to be aware that if they do not like the product and decide to return it, to be careful because you will not be get your money back or even the merchandise that you return.

Summary: Takes planning.
Review: I really enjoyed this book, it was no nonsense and the food plans really do work. I did not understand the exercises too well, but I think that they are improved upon in his later book. I lost 7 pounds in a week, but unless you have a set schedule it is hard to eat larger meals as often. It was easier for me to grab fruit as a meal. But, overall if you stick with it, it will work. I even did my own exercise routine and it was fine.

Summary: I was a size 18!!!!
Review: In January!!! I weighed 200 pounds at 5'4" tall. Needless to say, that is overweight. I have to admit, I did not commit to everything in this book, not because I didn't want to, but just because I am not a great follow through person. That said, I have to tell you, my size 14 pants are baggy on me!!!! In case you missed my title I was a size 18! The exercises were easy and effective, and I look absolutely great now. I am committing more now that school is back in session and my kids are in school during the day and I have my routine back! I am beyond happy with this book, and it is truely a life changer!

Summary: The Best Plan I've Ever Tried!
Review: My doctor recommended the Larry North program, so I decided to give it a shot. What a great day for me! I started slowly as Larry suggests by changing my meal frequency. I began to eat five meals a day. As the weight fell off, I made more changes. I began to try to eat less fat and sugar. During the first 6 months, I lost 55 pounds. As I incorporated more and more of Larry's ideas into my life, I lost more and more weight. To date I have lost 90 lbs. and will continue with this plan forever. This is definitely NOT a diet, but a change in LIFESTYLE! I have re-read this book several times and keep it nearby for inspiration! Thanks, Larry! I also have his book, Slimdown for Life. It is great too!

Summary: Finally!, someone has stopped the insanity!
Review: Only being 22 years old, I have been on numerous programs, and have read numerous books on "weight loss". I had it all wrong! I needed to increase muscle not use it as fuel! This book is simple, straightforward, and an invaluable tool to help you succeed in slimming down. Larry doesn't sugar coat things by telling you that you will lose x amount of pounds or inches in x amount of time. He simply tells you it will work, even if you only follow this program half way, he says you will see results. And you will, Larry sets forth an abundance of at home excercises, and in the gym excercises. If you are going to trust anyone with your excess and be a success, then you have make it Larry!

Summary: A balanced, common sense approach to eating and lifestyle
Review: This book details a balanced approach to eating to lose weight, with focus placed on cutting out the fat, and eating a good balance of protiens, carbs, and fibrous vegetables. In eating six smaller meals a day, you can speed up your metabolism and with exercise speed it up a bit more. The program is about getting your muscles in shape, and increasing muscle mass so you burn more calories both while exercising and while resting.However, It is worth noting that if you're on a tight grocery budget, and a tight schedule this program is nearly impossible to carry out. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are expensive, as are the other ultra lean meats you need to eat. Preparing all the meals is time consuming, and if you've got a whole family to prepare meals for, well, it's a bit much. Even though I do have that problem with the book, I reccomend it highly to someone who's willing to comit the time, money and effort to eating right and exercising. This is a healthy, and balanced approach.
