It's all about the food. The workouts are great - here's a few things to keep in mind when doing NROLW:
1) the food guidelines were not set up for weight (or fat) loss, necessarily. You can recomp, but to lose you might need to eat less than the book recommends.
2) the program is INTENSE. Many of us (myself included) got too hungry on it, and couldn't maintain the kind of deficit required to lose weight without crashing. I love this program, but especially stage 7, was too much for my body to recover if I was eating at a deficit. Others (like Jane) did fine on it.
3) it's as hard as you make it. Many don't lift enough to be tired at the end, and they get bored. Lift heavier if you thought it was too easy. I was relatively experienced in lifting, and I got SORE even in stage 1.
Good luck, have fun.
