"At GNC, we understand how difficult it can be to get started on a weight-loss program that's right for you," said Tom Dowd , Executive Vice President, Chief Merchandising Officer and General Manager for GNC. "That's why we created Total Lean™ – a line of products perfect for anyone on a weight management journey. From delicious meal replacements and snacks to keep you fuller between meals, to thermogenics to help boost your metabolism and improve calorie burning, Total Lean™ offers a comprehensive weight-loss solution that complements the online tips and tools you'll receive each week during the Total Lean™ Challenge."
