GNC Total Lean Products/Challenge

Options
Hi Everyone! Recently, I've looked into the GNC Total Lean Challenge. The Challenge gives you daily workouts, weekly meals, and a weekly grocery list for 12 weeks. It seems like a pretty good deal. Does anyone here partake in that? I might start it up soon.

Also, they have a line of products called "Total Lean" that supports the challenge (or you can take them on your own). I am looking into the Total Lean Burn 60, Total Lean Carb Controller, and Total Lean Thermo CLA. These are all supplements. They also have a Lean Shake which I might try. Has anyone tried any of these supplements or shakes? Are they effective? Is it worth it?

Thanks!!

    They are effective if you have a calorie deficit. They will not on their own make you lose weight. You don't need shakes and pills for weight loss.

    Learn how to control calories with real food so you can keep the weight off instead of gaining it back once you stop taking pills and drinking shakes.

    I am on the Swiss Chocolate lean shake, I drink it at lunch. I also take the CLA supplements. 2 before breakfast and 2 before dinner. I started the CLA on Monday August 12 and the shakes on August 15. I am down 6 lbs.

    I've tried the Lean Shakes once upon a time. While they are the tastiest I've had, I'm used to getting at least 20 g from a shake or bar. The more the better in my opinion.

    Sounds expensive (between the shopping list and the shakes and suppliments). The workout plan looks effective though. Maybe I'll try the shakes.

    Thanks guys! I think I'm going to get the Body Fortress protein shake for now...it's cheaper and I'd rather try it out and see if i like it than spend lots of money on something I don't like. I'm currently in a 4 week fitness challenge but after this ends, I will be following the Workout & Meal Plan that GNC provides :)
