Advantages: Very quick weight loss
Disadvantages: Far too expensive for what it is.
I started the Lighter Life programme in January 08. I weighed 15stone. I lost nearly 4 stone. All during that time I couldn't sing Lighter Life's praises loud enough. I thought it was THE diet that worked. I told all my friends who were over-weight that they should go on it. I spoke too soon.
On week 13, my Lighter Life counsellor left and there were no other meetings near me. So that was that. No more meetings, no more food packs, no more support.
So here I am in February 09....weighing 15 stone. And yes, I lost pounds - well over £1000!
All they want is your money. They are ripping your eyes out, people! Low carbohydrate 'milkshake' powders are available in health food stores for a fraction of the price.
The Lighter Life plan is like any other diet - it works as long as you're on it, but as soon as you finish it, the weight comes back on.
I know it's 'up to me' not to over eat or eat the wrong things, but I have to say, when I went back to real food, I couldn't fill myself up. I was absolutely ravenously hungry. A friend of mine felt the same way and another friend of mine (who successfully lost 10st) still uses food packs as she says it's the only way to keep the weight off. She still feels that she doesn't know how to eat 'properly' and is stuck in a continous 'binge and fast' circle.
So would I recommend Lighter Life?
No, No, No, No!!!!!
Summary: Don't do it!!!!!

- 21/08/09 wow deedeep! Im not doing lighter life im doing Cambridge but i feel very simular to you. I hate it when people review these diets and complain about putting all the weight back on, I would have loved to write/say something like that to some people that try and sway me off the diet with comments about re-gaining. Little insulting and blunt but TOTALY true!it's up to us to take what we learn and keep the weight off. |

- 02/03/09 I've just finished reading all the reviews and some of them make me really angry. I did Lighterlife because I had to address my relationship with food. NOT JUST TO LOSE WEIGHT! Lighterlife helped me to deal with my emotional overeating. It was therapy.
All the idiots on here who put all the weight back on are just plain thick! OF COURSE YOU'LL PUT IT BACK ON IF YOU GO BACK TO THE SAME EATING HABITS! DUH!!
What complete twats! Just face it fatties, YOU'LL NEVER LOSE THE WEIGHT AND KEEP IT OFF BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS EAT YOURSELF BACK TO SQUARE ONE!!!!!
Don't you dare blame Lighterlife for your weight gain! I bet you anything that you didn't do 'Route To Management' as they advised you to. You just reached your goal weight, got marreid, went on holiday whateva, and then binged youreslf back to your 15/16/17 stone. And it's not your fault AT ALL IS IT? Oh no, It's Lighterlife's fault isn't it? 'Cos your greed can never your fault and it makes you feel better to blame Lighterlife.
As far as I'm concerend, Lighterlife did what it promised me. I lost the weight. I changed my attitude to eating. I no longer eat the wrong foods at the wrong times. My BMI remains at 22.4 and has done for over a year. My total loss with lighterlife was 5stones. Thankyou Lighterlife. |
