One pathway to getting lean is a low fat approach with quality protein and better for you carbs.

Another approach is low carbs with quality protein and good fats.

Both work!

However if your consuming a lot of carbs and fat, it spells trouble in your quest to get lean. Two great examples of a high fat/carb combo would be movie theater popcorn. Carbs from the popcorn and low quality oil that it’s made with plus butter added on top. Another example are French fries, potatoes deep fried in oil.

Just telling you what you already know so next time as your leaving the movie theater or burger joint and wonder why your not making the progress you deserve it’s generally because of a high fat high carb (high calorie) combo.

This was a cool email to receive:

Dear Larry,
My name is Christi Land and I am a nurse practitioner in Alaska. I first did your program in 1996 or 97....maybe 98 - I know it was shortly after I finished school and had that school weight added to my other troubling weight to lose when your infomercial came along. It was a tremendously healthy and successful route to weight loss, and with the exception of the occasional foray into something “bigger better faster new“ after a few pregnancies or tempted by fantastic fad stories, I have always returned to your program. It is the only program I have ever recommend to my patients, family, and friends - because it is the only program that I would stake my reputation on. As the years have passed, I’ve had to search eBay to order some replacement tapes or packs for a family member, and have always recommended your book, which of course is now available through Amazon. But as technology changes people do not have access to cassette players (I actually only keep one because of your tapes - honestly, when I need to refocus, I find that listening to you guide me through the seven day slim down or the 21 days as opposed to just reading it really gives me the boost that I need), and as your cassettes have now become impossible to find, I am wondering if there are any plans to make it more accessible with downloads? I can certainly continue to hoard my tapes for my own use, but I would really love to be able to continue to recommend an access point for others. Especially now when everyone is keto crazy, I think it’s important to have a diet and lifestyle like yours that is a much healthier and more sustainable option. My patients bounce on and off of keto or other fad diets, and then are frustrated and fatter when they come back to me. I hope to hear that there are plans in the works for making the audible portion of your program accessible again. I would also love to have the written planners, but I know that people love their devices and I’m not sure if you have thought about an app that would do the7/21 days and on? That would be the most fantastic thing!

Please let me know if there is any plans in place, or if there are any alternatives to accessing any old stock of your materials.

All my best, and with much gratitude,
Christi

Papa what big biceps you have!!
