Advantages: quick results - don't need to think about food!

Disadvantages: Expensive but less than would normally spend on food.

I have been on the Lighterlife Foundation programme now for 16 weeks and I am now entering the management phase. I have lost 3 stone 5 pounds and feel great. Yes it has been hard, really hard at times including two holidays abroad, but if I can do it - anyone can!!
The first four days is the worst and I did feel hungry in those four days, but after this you are in Ketosis and this suppresses your hunger and I can honestly say that I have not felt hungry since. I lost 11 pounds in the first week and I could not believe it. You need to keep your water intake up at least 2 litres a day, but this soon becomes routine.
I am working and have two small children and still managed to remain abstinent (only on food packs) whilst cooking the family eveing meal each day. I tended to dish up, then go out and take the dog for a walk.
I have now been in management for one week (introducing certain foods a week at a time) and am managing to stick to the recommended amounts - not needing to go and pig out!!!
The one thing that I will say about the programme and why it is different to other diets is that you don't have to deal with conventional food - no worrying about what to cook that night or how many calories etc whilst you are actually loosing weight you just have to choose which soup, shake or bar to eat and that is that! The other major difference is the weekly councelling sessions. I am a health professional and therefore already had a background with cognitive behavioural therapy, but in conjunction with the diet it really helps you understand why you keep going back to the cupboard / fridge etc and helps you put tools in place to deal with those feelings when they arrise.
Overall I would truly recommend Lighterlife if you have a large amount of weight to loose and need to loose it quickly to help motivation! Go for it and good luck.
p.s. my hair did fall out a little but only for a few days after 3 months and I still have a very full head of hair now!!

Summary: Really recommend but need to stick with councelling right through
