Advantages: Loosing weight and looking good
Disadvantages: Cravings
Hi Im Karen and have just had a baby 9 weeks ago and whilst I am over the moon with my little bundle the 3.5 stone I cant seem to shift was depressing me.
My Fried told me about Lighter Lfe which is a diet consisting only of four foodpacks a day which consist of packets of soup, milkshakes or cerial bars. As well as having four foodpacks a day you must dring at least four litres of water as you are banned from drinking any, juice, milk, tea or coffee unless its black. I attended a lighter life consultation along with 10 others to be told all about the diet and was given a form to be signed of by the doctor (which you must do before starting to say that I was fit and well enough to join). I consulted my doctor and got the form signed off but lighter life refused to take me until my daughter was 3 months old so im afraid to say I bought the food packs from E Bay.
I started the plan on Sunday the 27th and must admit found the first two days extremely hard, the first day I was so hungry that I cheated a little and had a banana as well as two cups of coffee with milk and half a sugar but now that im on the 4th day I dont seem as hungry just really craving the foods that im seeing and smelling when cooking for my partner and my son not to mention all the leftover chocolates from Christmas.
I really enjoy my coffee so have started using my vanilla shake instead of the milk and sugar and to my surprise I really enjoy it.
I would recommend that you buy a smoothie maker and make your shakes with ice as they taste heaps better this way.
I would just like to say that I am determined to stick with it as i have already gone from 13.1stone to 12.9 in four days and im really excited and seem to have loads of energy.
Hope you all do well, feel free to let me know how you are getting on i need all the support i can get as I am doing it alone.
Summary: NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS SLIM FEELS

- 13/02/08 I am surprised that your counsellor allowed you to sratr your diet so soon after giving birth. My councellor advised me that LL policy is that baby must be over 3 months old before you can start the program. I started the program last september when my daughter was 4 months old. I am now moving to maintenance having lost 5.5 stone and am now a size 8. Good luck with it.... and keep thinking yummy mummy! |

- 31/01/08 I agree with your Lighter Life consultant. Doing a crash diet straight after giving birth seems dangerous to me, Susan |

- 30/01/08 Good luck with the plan but I don't think you should be so worried. It took me 2 years to shift my baby weight so please don't be depressed after just 9 weeks! You've just carried your little bundle around for 9 months...take it easy and let your body adjust slowly :o) |
