FAQs

- Fresh fruits and vegetables
- Natural sources of protein, including vegan and vegetarian options
- Natural foods low in carbohydrates
Are meals provided with the LeanMD program?
The goal with LeanMD is to teach you how to eat healthfully to lose the weight and keep it off, which includes shopping and preparing your own food, so you understand proper portions and healthy cooking techniques. Meals aren’t provided on the LeanMD program — you eat fresh, real food you create yourself using simple, easy-to-follow meal plans and recipes.
Is exercise part of the LeanMD program?
Exercise isn’t part of the LeanMD program. However, Dr. Temkin may recommend you incorporate an exercise plan to help you lose weight more quickly and maintain your weight loss.
How often do I see the doctor during the LeanMD program?
Dr. Temkin provides ongoing support and counseling throughout the entire LeanMD program. Depending on which phase of the LeanMD program you’re in, the frequency of your office visits can vary, and Dr. Temkin can adjust based on what works best for you.
You may be at the office weekly during Phase 1 of the LeanMD program, and Dr. Temkin continues to provide support during Phase 3, during the maintenance phase. He finds most people can relapse during this phase of any weight loss program, which is why Dr. Temkin continues to closely monitor your individual progress and help you through any challenges you might face.
How Much Weight can I lose with LeanMD?
You can safely lose up to five pounds each week following Dr. Temkin’s LeanMD program. Of course, weight loss rates vary from person to person and may depend on your starting weight, exercise program, medical conditions, and how closely you follow the plan. You can join LeanMD to lose 10 lbs or over 100 lbs. The goal is always realistic and healthy.
How is LeanMD Better than other weight loss programs?
LeanMD teaches you how to eat real food you prepare yourself to achieve and maintain a healthy weight — no gimmicks, no starvation, no special shakes or purchased meals. LeanMD is a diet plan you can follow for life.
