Lighter Life Reviews

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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, ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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!

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

I lost 3 and a half stones on Lighterlife in May 2008. The plan was the easiest as well as the hardest diet I've ever done. Easy because it was a no brainer. I didn't have to mean plan, count calories or consider anything about balancing nutrients etc. Hardest because it involved a tremendous amount of determination and willpower.

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, ...  Read the complete review

I've just returned from my first meeting at my local centre and have to say what a load of old rubbish. They want £66 per week in return you drink soups, milkshakes and water throughout the day (800 cal per day). Of course you're going to lose weight on a diet like that! Do yourselves a favour and go to your local supermarket and buy soups, shakes, smoothies and just count your calories to 800 per day - you are GUARANTEED to lose weight (the easy part) it's keeping it off that's the struggle, my suggestion once you've reached your target is to have 2 soups per day and a small main meal consisting steamed fish or chicken with steamed vegetables. The fee for my suggestion? Zero! Please don't line these vultures pockets for telling us what we already know. I've lost 3stone, eat healthy and exercise, XXX

OK, here's a(nother) review of Lighter Life by someone who has actually been on the programme - indeed is right now....if only to refute the earlier contributor. I'm only in my second week, but I can already tell you that the Lighter Life Programme can be very successful, provided that you stick to it and don't go back to your ...  Read the complete review

Lighter Life is an excellent Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD) coupled with comprehensive cognitive behavioural thereapy and tranactional analysis. The programme is intense and at times challenging but I think it is an excellent head on approach to being obese. I was initially 19st 4lb through my own self neglect and greed. This programme has changed ...  Read the complete review

To everyone doing the lighterlife diet be very, very careful. More than 85% of people put their weight back on after the diet (although lighterlife will never admit this). Your body will undergo such a huge change and be under a lot of stress that it's likely that you will be left with health problems, which will make you misserable, unhealthy and ...  Read the complete review

Lighter Life has transformed my life - so far I have lost 5 stone and I have never felt better. For all those saying that the Cambridge Diet, or W8, or ANY of the other programmes is "the same thing" then they could NOT be further from the truth. Lighter Life is the ONLY weight management programme that helps you ...  Read the complete review

I JUST STARTED LIGHTER LIFE LAST NIGHT, I SAW SOME PEOPLE MENTION HAIR LOSS, IM A TAD WORRIED CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF THIS HAPPENED TO THEM, IF SO HOW MUCH ?

Hi I have been on the programme for 10 weeks & have lost 2st 8lb & feel great. I have 4 weeks to go before managment & should easily make my 3 stone. I read all the good press & bad & made an informed choice to start the programme.
Good luck to all fellow lighterlifer's. Keep going you know it is worth it!

Save money, do the Cambridge diet instead, it's half the price and just the same thing.

I am on the programme 10 weeks now and have lost 3 stone. My life has been given back as I have regained my self confidence and feel fantastic every day. My skin has improved dramatically too. I can't say enough about this genuinely life changing experience, if you are unsure about it- just do it. The rewards will come very fast. The only side effect for me has been jealous relatives who can't bear to see me looking better that them!
