Lindora
Lindora brings over 30 years of weight loss results.
BACKGROUND
For more than three decades, Lindora has been helping overweight individuals get "Lean for Life." Dr. Marshall Stamper opened a weight loss clinic following the death of his mother. Her death was the result of obesity and related illnesses. Stamper developed a program that helps people lose weight in a supervised manner, and do so quickly.
In its 35 years, Lindora has grown to 35 clinics in Southern California, as well as a comprehensive Web program. There are clinics located inside Rite Aid pharmacies, the first retail-based clinic providing expert, personalized weight loss plans. It's this medically sound and clinically tested weight loss plan that has successfully helped thousands of women, men and even children.
Lindora targets mind, body and behavior for a well-rounded approach to weight loss that yields long-term benefits. It's a far cry from those rapid-loss fad diets. In fact, one Lindora proprietary finding is the VAP Test, an extensive cholesterol test heralded by the Wall Street Journal on its list of "five tests worth paying for, that can save your life."

35 years of experience can't be all wrong. this could work
I lost 82 pounds in 9 months on Lindora. It differs in the different phases of weight loss and they are honest with you that once you reach your goal weight it make take a year of hard work before your body will stabilize at that weight. The "booster" injections are a waste though.
I started the Lindora Medical Loss Program,mid June of 2007.I went to an actual Lindora Clinic site (not a Rite Aide). I had to be the best money I have ever invested in my health and it was considerable. Occasionally they run promo and will give rewards for patients that refer. It does not come without it's risk. There is a reason why at the clinics allot of test are done prior to starting. It is a very severe program. I feel after having successfully loosing 55 pounds. I agree with Lois ,I will be working hard to maintain this loss. I reached my goal at 130 and a BMI of 20. This diet is difficult and not for everyone. The maintenance basically is calorie counting . No magic there !
I went there to lose 15 pounds. I wanted something quick. I did get 10 pounds off but it didn't really start coming off until I had been on the program for about 4 weeks. I had to actually go on a liquid diet (made up of Lindora shakes and soups and bars) for 10 days to jumpstart the weight loss. After that I followed my own low-carb program and consumed less than 50 carbs per day and fewer than 800 calories on most days in order to get the weight off. Yes, it came off fast but I don't feel that the B vitamin shots that they gave me every day nor the products were helpful. The fact that I pretty much starved myself is what took the weight off. The cost for that 6 week and 10 pounds was a whopping $1,100 and guess what...I have put all the weight back on and more. As soon as you return to normal eating...as soon as you add Carbs back into your diet...the weight comes back. Oh, by the way, the $1,100 doesn't include all the product I bought from them thinking that it was magically helping me to lose weight. That stuff cost me several hundred more $$$$.
