Ali,
Sorry for the delay in responding, but I have been offline for a while!
Leanness Lifestyle is different from BFL in several ways, first off I get interactive online support directly from the Coach (David Greenwalt), plus the online tools. LL supports clean eating, and unlike the free day with BFL, you truly understand what calories in verses energy out means. Think of your body as a gas tank...and all of your daily movements and exercising as gas being used. First off, you have to consume a high grade of food, you don't want to fuel your system with garbage. Second, you need to know how many calories you should consume, and how many minutes a week you should exercise to lose weight...Leanness Lifestyle explains all that. Third off...the free day is nonsense...I liken it to the time I quit smoking. I didn't quit smoking for 6 days out of the week, and then smoke a carton on the 7th...the free day is binging...plain and simple. It also can put trigger foods in your system that cause more binging, and plus...why would you want to put so much garbage in your mouth. So yes the free day is a HUGE difference between the 2. LL teaches you how to zig zag your meals, and you are accountable for every single crumb that you put in your body. You keep a very detailed journal of your food.
I have a public journal at LL, here is the link to it:

Keep in mind that I was off line for a while, but you can go back a few months, and see what I eat.
I always have breakfast...I try to keep my meals at a 40/40/20 ratio (40 grams carbs, 40 grams protein, 20 grams fat) A typical breakfast for me might be a 4 egg white 1 whole egg omelet with fat free cheese, an orange and a glass of low sodium V8 juice. or maybe Oatmeal pancakes (made with high protein powder and cottage cheese)with sugar free syrup and blueberries, after my workout, I make sure to replenish my glycogen stores, sodium and potassium. Learning how to eat after a workout is also taught at LL.
I'm not knocking BFL...90% of the members at LL are former BFL'ers that were ready to get serious about nutrition and fitness. This is a lifestyle change that is gradual, but worth it. I started on May 25th, and I am down 21 pounds...and I eat 5 or 6 times a days usually, exercise regularly, and have splurge meals that I plan for, and take into account when planning my menu. There are setbacks sometimes, but you learn how to move on.
Sorry if I rambled a bit...HTH!
