I don't have the LL RTM book but on the LL RTM forum here on minimins there is all the detail you need to follow the LL RTM in the Stickys - also through reading the threads such as Jezebella's. THat is what I plan to do when I do my RTM
I also figured out how to match the LL calories on using exante packs on RTM -
weeks 1 and 2 = 3 LL packs/day or 1 exante shake and 1 exante bar
weeks 3,4,5,6,7,8 = 3 lighter life packs/day or 1 exante shake and half a bar
weeks 9,10,11,12 = 1 lighter life pack/day or half an exante bar.
I have found it really easy to split soup and shakes (have started doing it the last day or so) so that I have a shake for breakfast, half a soup at lunch and half at tea and a bar in the evening. It carries me through the day better than eating 3 times. The bars are much bigger than the LL ones too and easy to halve - that may be a solution for you if you are put off by halving the packs of powder.
For me it was a no brainer in the end as after 22 weeks of LL sessions I had learned as much as I was going to about why and how I got where I did and how to avoid landing back up there - I just felt like I was paying a premium for counselling that was not really much use anymore (don't get me wrong, I found it extremely useful during foundation). I have saved over a thousand pounds switching to exante and don't mind the slight extra work of halving packs occasionally - it is a lot less work than making a sandwich lol!
