Lindora Comprehensive Weight Control

This place is great! Just started the program but I’m very happy with the program and the staff is great. I look forward to my visits.

Well, what can I say about this place? I don’t think there are words that exist that can express my appreciation for this place. I have to admit I was really reluctant to join or any other weight loss programs. I was so blinded on how healthy I really was. After months of listening to talk radio and their radio-​mercials and family & friends telling me that I needed to do something about my weight. So, I finally swallowed my pride and realized that I wasn’t able to do it on my own. I agreed to them that I would go, check it out and see what all this hype was about. My whole perception on weight loss programs as an industry was that all they are looking for is your money. But, I was happily shocked to find that the people here are the most genuine and most kind hearted. This is way more than the average weight loss program. They showed me how to live a healthier life and to love myself. When I walk in the door of this place I feel like I just walked in to my own home. Everyone here is like family to me and they do express an unconditional care for me and for the rest of their patients.
As far as the food here, it’s NOT eating cardboard. The snack are good and good for you. They don’t profit on making you buy their food like other places. You eat regular food. They are more on what food to eat and moderation. Going a long time without eating may seem like a good idea but in reality it makes you gain weight. You have to keep that metabolism moving and well fueled. I think it is very important when choosing to attempt a challenge like this, no matter what your starting point is that it starts with YOU. The people here don’t have a magic wand or that magic pill that will mold you into that perfect body you so want. It’s YOU! You got yourself like this situation or mess, what ever you want to call it. YOU are that magic wand! YOU are that so called magic pill. You have to really ask yourself, do you really have the BALLS??? It’s not going to come to you on a plate. When you reach your goals and are served that plate all it’s going to have is your blood, sweat, tears, fears, doubts, failures, and sights on that goal. You also have to ask yourself, what are you willing to do and what are you willing to give up to live a happier and healthier life. Remember! You only get one. It’s really not the amount of years you are given, it’s how you live those years.
So, in saying all this. If you are physically sick of how you are and how you are living your life and you are mentally ready to take that challenge come here. You will get more than a weight loss program. You will get sincere teammates that are pushing and motivating you to climb that mountain so you can reach the top. The assistants and doctors here are great and they honestly want to see you succeed.
I’m done! IT’S UP TO YOU NOW! GET IT DONE. HEALTH CARE WILL ONLY GET MORE EXPENSIVE CPMPARED TO THIS PROGRAM.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE AT LINDORA MARINA DEL REY. I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL AND INDEBTED TO YOU GUYS.

Though I only purchased the book here and did the program on my own, I have to share my love for this plan because it is a healthy and very effective way to slim down. Years ago I did pay for the program because I felt I needed the encouragement. At that time I wanted to lose 20 pounds and did. Over the last ten years, and a baby later, I felt like I needed to tune up my body again. My goal was to lose about 13 – 15 pounds in 6 – 8 weeks. As of today, I have lost 10 & ½ pounds in just 4 & ½ weeks! Just when I’d get down feeling like it wasn’t «working», I’d have a good morning weigh in and get reenergized. Many of you know, losing A LOT of weight seems to be easier in the beginning. When you get down to that last 10 – 20 lbs, it just doesn’t come off as quick. I’m a believer in EXERCISE and I’ve continued what I did before. Though, on protein days I take it a bit easier because I find I get hungrier on those days if I burn too much energy.
Here are my honest suggestions: If you need to «cheat» don’t be mad at yourself over it! I have had about 6 cheat meals and even candy and popcorn at a movie. I just KNEW that I needed to be really strict following that and I definitely wouldn’t go back to the mindset of «saving up» my calories. I’d still eat other meals according to plan and protein snacks. Often the cheating wasn’t planned and I would do so within moderation. For example, we went out to Panera after trick or treating and I really wanted french onion soup. So I got a cup with a chicken salad and no dressing. It was yummy and satisfied me completely. The next day I ate a sub sandwich and a few pieces of halloween candy. And the next night I ate tacos, beans and rice! I just took the tortillas off and didn’t eat the chips. You have to commit to living with these healthier choices even when you aren’t eating white fish, spinach and grapefruit.
One last thing, FOR ME, it seems when I add in a bit more fat than the diet typically allows, it helps me. Almost every night I seem low on carbs and calories so I let myself eat a piece of LIGHT bread with a tablespoon of peanut butter on it. I have also had a 4oz lump of fresh mozzarella and worried but it seemed to kickstart me. What works for everyone individually may be different of course. I LOVE PowerCrunch Bars. They are to die for. Wafer like and feels like you’re eating a treat. Highly recommend. They’re a bit higher on the fat, but otherwise meet the Lindora requirements.
Anyway, here are my weekly results.
¹⁰⁄₂₀ Week One 146.8 (–0 lbs)
¹⁰⁄₂₇ Week Two 142.4 (–4.4 lbs)
¹¹⁄₀₃ Week Three 141.6 (–5.2 lbs)
¹¹⁄₁₀ Week Four 140 (–6.8 lbs)
¹¹⁄₁₇ Week Five 138.6 (–8.2lbs)
¹¹⁄₂₀ Five & ½ 136.4 (–10.4 lbs)
After 4 weeks I started the program again. You can only do it twice back to back and then you need to do the Metabolic Adjustment Phase for at least 14 days. Be ready for HARD WORK and focus and, yes, missing things. I LOVE FOOD and I dearly miss huge pieces (plural) of apple crumb pie. I have also replaced my nightly glass of wine (or two) with an end of the day decaf cup of coffee with sugar free vanilla creamer (the powdered kind) and fiber LOL.
This WORKS. I’m 37, have a 3yo daughter and have been relatively under control weight-​wise most of my life. My highest weight was 150 except when I was pregnant I got to 190. Hard work and exercise pay off. Getting enough sleep has been tough for me since my daughter has never been a good sleeper. That’s a whole different subject!
Do this! If you don’t have the money, don’t worry. Buy the book for $ 30 and read the entire thing before you start. I’m a huge believer in the Plateau Days menu and honestly I have been obsessive about eating white fish (I LOVE the basil pesto tilapia from costco in the frozen section) for lunch everyday with spinach, lettuce and grapefruit. It is a great satisfying meal and makes me feel good. Sugar free Jello for a night time snack is great. No carbs, ten calories.
DO THIS. YOU’LL BE HAPPY YOU DID. I PROMISE.
I plan to be a «Lifer» and know people who are and look amazing having kept off the weight. it doesn’t mean you can never have a life again but it’ll keep you in check with your weight and catching it before it becomes a problem.
PS — YOU CANNOT sit on your couch and eat twinkles and expect to feel good about yourself. Get up. Walk. Workout. Whatever! I also loved the Insanity program for at-​home workouts. That alone dropped 20 pounds in two months after I had my daughter in 2011.

I did the 10 weeks program back in 2007 and I lost some many pounds. I didn’t gain back until I got pregnant.
It is a great program and easy to follow, you learn a lot.
I love the program!

Did a Lindora program awhile back and am still addicted to their low carb, low fat, low calorie protein bars. Also their Peach-​Mango protein drink which is only 2 carbs!
This Lindora is right near the corner of Centinela and Sepulveda, next to the Radisson Hotel. The parking is convenient, and the office is right inside the front door.
Everyone there is very friendly and always willing to help and to answer questions.
