Lighter Life Reviews

I lost 5 stone with lighter life nearly two years ago and have still managed to keep to a healthy weight. The downside of the diet has been my health. Intially I suffered with consipation and due to this had a tear in the lining of my bowel, this was extremely painful and took 3 months to recover. I have just recently had a series of operations due to gallbalder problems and complications. Prior to the diet I hadn'nt suffered a days illness in my life, but have since had a rollercoster of many issues including an ulcer. I have been informed that 20% of women who expereince a materail weigth loss will suffer gallbladder problems but the symptons and risk of ill health were not transparent at the start or during the diet

I am currently on the lighterlife program and have gone down from14st 10lbs to 11st 10 lbs in 8 weeks. The weight loss truly has made a difference to my quality of life and activity level. I no long get backache or painful knees, plus I have a wardrobe full of clothes that now fit me. The program consists of meal replacement packs ...

I did lighterlife 3 years ago and lost 5 stone. I had a baby last year and so am now doing the diet again in order to shift the 3 stone I put back on. I am confused by reading some of the reviews of people who seem to think that once you have paid out your money and done the diet you will be thin forever?! Wake up!!! The diet is a means of loosing weight without having to think about food whilst you are counselled regarding the decisions you make around food. It is not a magic cure for being fat. It takes will and determination to complete the diet and then, as will all addicts, it takes will and determination to eat healthly an keep the weight off. Since I did the diet 5 other relatives have also!

I did Lighterlife before my wedding last year from Jan 08 - July 08. I lost 4.5 stone in that time and went from a size 18 to a size 10. Now..the truth is, it is hard, it's not a long term quick fix, and yes you do need to adjust your eating habits for life. Its now June 09 and I have gone from 10 stone 10 at my lightest to 12 stone ...

I haven't tried this weight loss programme myself but having read kittikins detailed review I am horrified. This is scientifically unsound as far as I am concerned. May I just start by saying my qualification is in Food Science. This level of calorie intake is potentially extremely harmful. Even to diet, a female requires about 1000 ...

I am currently in my 7th week of this very low calorie diet and am loving it. So far I have lost 3 and a half stone and have quite a way to go, but know that, slip up, notwithstanding, this is the best, easiest and healthiest way for me to lose weight and learn the right psychological mechanism to keep it for - for life is the aim! By ...

I write this review from the point of view of a behavioural-economist. It is my job to draw together insights from the cognitive sciences and economics to examine what makes people tick and why they do the things they do. My partner recently went on the lighterlife diet after her sister was diagnosed with diabetes, and in helping her get through ...

I'v tried lighterlife a few times,my doctors says these people are salesmen and will have you on there books as long as they can,my counceller weighs us on carpet which you aint supposed to,my doc was right coz 1 guy was down to his target of 13st and shes still selling him food packs,its a depressing expensive waste of money that rarely lasts,also keep holding myself to look for loos while i was driving caused prpblems.

I started the lighterlife diet last week and lost 6 lb, a good beginning and I thought I was going to do really well. Then this week after following the programme, drinking my 2 litres of water and taking my four meal packs I put on 1lb. I have no idea what I could have done wrong, the only thing different to last week is taking pain killers ...

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 ...

I started LighterLife in September 2008 and have lost over 4 stone. In the past I had tried loads of 'diets' and they never worked - well I lost weight but never kept it off. That was because I just went back to my old habits. Lighter Life's secret of success is the counselling, it's absolutely fabulous and helps you work out why you have the ...

Starting lighter life has been the best decision i have ever made in my life!!! I started the plan at the end of aug 2008 and i have lost just over 7 stone and i feel amazing!! Yes it can be boring at times and on occassions you can feel a bit tired or cold but on the whole you feel fantastic! I was verging on a size 24 and now im heading towards ...

Come on people, what's wrong with you!!! Don't you know that the weight WILL go back on in time. You're hard wired to enjoy certain types of food, and although that doesn't mean that you have to indulge fully, you can save your counseling money for lovely organic veg, good quality treats (even chocolate!), and most of all, in trying out and ...

Having tried every diet in the book, out of desperation, I decided to go along to a lighterlife meeting. It was the best decision I have ever made in my life. At nearly 20stone, suffering from polycystic ovarian syndrome, I was incredibly unhappy with myself and knew it was time to make a change. When I found out the price of the ...

I have just completed the lighter life diet and lost a total of 3 stone. With this diet, you participate in 14 weeks of abstinence from food, having 4 food packs a day. They are a mixture of soups, shakes and after the second week bars. The soups are mushroom, vegetable, thai chilli, tomato and chicken. The shakes are chocolate, ...

The thing about body weight is that it creeps on so much easier that it is lost. I don't know why this is (come on all you scientists tell us why!) So being somewhat middle-aged and slightly overweight (well more than 3 stone but I class that as slightly!) I finally got fed up with buying bigger and bigger clothes and decided to ...

My sister did Lighterlife last year and lost 4 stones. She used to be on high blood pressure medication and has come off it now. Since finishing the programme (foundation and management,) she has managed to lose a further 6lbs just by healthy eating. Some of the girls in her counselling group, who did not go onto management (lasts 4 weeks,) did ...

Started the lighter life diet over a week ago, BEST THING I'VE DONE ALL MY LIFE! I've learnt so much about myself as a person and my eating habits and why I do it, If YOU want to change as a person and how you look at food, IE seeing food as a neccesaty rather than a treat and only eating when hungry and to identify why you overeat. Saggy Skin? Join the gym! Moisturies alot more, Drink lots of water! Not only am I losing the weight but I've gotten rid of my 20 a day habit!!! If you want CHANGE and are determined to go shopping with the girls and not go in to EVANS and buy those horrible man trousers, WELCOME TO MY WORLD!

hi i've been on the diet for a 1 week i've lost 10.1 kg which is so much more then ad expected i thinks it great, the food packs are great i don't feel hungry ,i feel full of life ...
i just hope i can maintain this weight ...

I have lost 3 stone in 13 weeks and I am now coming to the end.... I have never felt so much better. I would recommend Lighter Life to anyone who is 3 stone or more over weight because it works!! The whole programme is easy to follow but I admit it is hard obstaining from food but the support you have is excellent. My clothes size started at 18 and I am now just getting into a size 12!! I have lost 5 1/2 inches of my waist and hips but unfortunately 3 1/2 of my bust (i didn't want it to go there) As for the cost (£66pw) I am saving money to what I was spending on food and drink!!
My husband is also on the programme and he has lost 2 stone in 6 weeks and looks and feels great x
