How Lindora Became America’s Leading Medical Weight Control System, One Person and One Pound at a Time

When Marshall Stamper, M.D. opened the first Lindora weight loss clinic in 1971, he had no way of knowing his decision would help hundreds of thousands of people improve their health and change their lives.  Motivated by the loss of his mother, who died of obesity-related complications, Dr. Stamper pioneered a comprehensive, results-oriented program that helped people lose weight rapidly and safely while changing their physiology so they could maintain their healthy new weight.

Today, 37 years later, Lindora is America’s leading medical weight control system and has become the gold standard in weight management, with 39 Southern California locations (including Valencia and North Valencia) serving more than 4,500 people every weekday.  Lindora’s groundbreaking programs and research are regularly presented at the Harvard Medical School obesity conferences and at meetings of the American Society of Bariatric Physicians.  Lindora clinicians and “success stories” have been featured on Good Morning America, The CBS Evening News and in such publications as People and the Los Angeles Times.

The Lindora Lean for Life® Program — “Lindora’s Lean for Life program is more than a diet—it’s a multi-faceted system that teaches people how to become healthier by changing the behaviors and habits that contributed to their weight gain in the first place,” explains Lindora president Cynthia Stamper Graff  “When people experience rapid weight loss results and see significant improvements in their health, it motivates them to maintain the enthusiasm and focus required to make lasting changes in their lives.” 

Lose 10 percent in only 10-weeks.  “People can, and do, lose 10 percent or more of their weight in just ten weeks on our program,” says Graff, whose best-selling book, Lean for Life, continues to rank in the top five percent of books sold worldwide on amazon.com.  While on the program, a two- to five-pound weekly weight loss can be achieved with a menu plan that features three meals and three snacks a day. 

Dr. Sabina Kobylinski, Lindora’s medical director, explains that the Lean for Life program can rapidly reverse insulin resistance and neutralize the health risks associated with ‘killer fat’.  “Dr. Stamper’s ‘Six Essentials’ of healthy weight management have been the cornerstone of the Lindora program since 1971, and they’re as valid today as ever,” says Dr. Kobylinski.  “Anyone who fully commits to the program and lives the ‘Six Essentials’ will not only lose weight and feel healthier, they will be healthier.”
