Lighter Life Reviews

I went on LL over two years ago now and lost 7.5 stone in just over 7 months. I was so thrilled with the results that I didn't even mind not eating ever Christmas - why would I as I'd never felt so fantastic!

I wish I'd known about it sooner. It's totally changed my life and I'm now getting married on 31st May this year after meeting the man of my dreams.

LL is medically governed and you must be signed on by your doctor before being allowed on the programme. I've never been more healthy or so happy.

It's now two years later and I've maintained my weight loss. So to all of the sceptics out there.....what are you waiting for!!!!

If you are reading this then it means you are considering doing the Lighterlife programme. All I can say is go for it! I did exactly the same as you are doing now, researching, thinking how can i go without food for 3 months+, will I stick to it, can I afford it etc. After being overweight for most of my life this was the one thing i hadn't tried ...  Read the complete review

Hi, i started LL on 06/09/2007. I weight 20 st 7 lbs. As of Yesterday (12/12/2007) I had lost 4 st 7lbs and gone down 3 dress sizes. I have to say that LL is one of the easiest diets i've ever done, and i've done a lot. The stress of food is taken away, you remain totally abstinent and live on LL foodpacks which are nutrious and tasty. Your ...  Read the complete review

My advice on Lighter Life if you have high blood pressure or any related cardiac problem is DON'T. I went on the programme, lost 3 stone and within 1 week of completing the course suffered a massive heart attack. The doctors said that my pottassium levels were virtually nil and this was probably the trigger. Be careful before you go on this diet. Get proper medical advice and DO NOT EXERCISE.

Having read many reviews of the lighterlife programme I thought it time to give you my experience. After a period of ill health in the summer of 2007 i knew i really had to lose weight. I had been diagonosed as extremly medically obese. In fact my weight topped 35 stone. I was 40 years of age and have two young children. I have tried a number ...  Read the complete review

Hi there, I am about to start lighter life on Tuesday night, and would like to hear from anybody who is on it, or has just started it. I am feeling very nervous and excited at the same time, I am very concerned is it safe? am I going to feel ill and weak etc. I have 3 stone to lose, and this is by far the most drastic diet ...  Read the complete review

Hello! I'm 23 and just about to start Lighter Life after recommendation from my Mums friend who lost 10 stone in 8 months and is still a lovely size 8-10 2 years later and also an old school friend who lost 5 stone in 5 months and is in management at the moment. I'm attending my first meeting tonight and am full of excitement but also unsure ...  Read the complete review

I have completed 20 weeks on the Lighter Life plan and I wish I had known about it 10 years ago. Having had a weight problem for years, then suffering with an underactive thyroid condition which meant it was very hard to lose any weight, I have gone from a size 22 to 14 and have felt fantastic all the way through. I was sceptical at first but felt ...  Read the complete review

At 41 years and being particularly overweight since first baby at 21, I lost 9 1/2 stone in 9 1/2 months recently (19.5 stone to 10 stone). I lost 10 lb in first week, 2 stone at the end of the first month. By the end of abstinance was drinking 6 1/2 litres of water/day with no trouble whatsoever and enjoying it. Getting into a ...  Read the complete review

I have been on Lighter life for four months and lost just over 4 stone. The first few days are definitely the worst when you are detoxing. After that it's easy. I didn't feel hungry or miss food much. Stick with it if you find the first few days hard. After all what have you got to lose except the excess flab.

I am on day 17 of the lighterlife programme and am stunned at how easy I've found it. I've had problems with my weight all my life, I am a compulsive overeater and in the past have suffered from bulimia. So far on this programme I have lost a stone and am really finding I can take stock and realise why I overate in the past. Not having to plan ...  Read the complete review

Hi iam on day 5 of the lighterlife programme, and i must admit i'am struggling, feel low, wiery and achy today - not sure if iam coming down with something or if its due to the diet, felt ok up to now. Can not stop thinking and talking about food (food adverts should be banned form TV).Had a drop in yesturday and was disappointed to loose only 2 ...  Read the complete review

To anyone wanting to join this diet i would seriously recondiser. I would recommed the Cambridge Diet instead but first hear me out! Being on both of these diets for the same amount of time, i think i can come up with my conclusion. The theory and method's of both diets are exactly same. So whats the differences? Well let ...  Read the complete review

i too am doing lighterlife, and have found my counsellor not up to the mark, she lost all her weight with weightwatchers, so she doesnt know how it feels to eat this stuff. if you miss a class she doesnt ring to find out if you are ill, also mixes foundation, and other classes together. i think the weightloss is good but for 66 pounds a week i ...  Read the complete review

Am writing in repsonse to Teena and in defence of lighter life - its easy to say eat healthy etc etc when you dont have much weight to lose, but if you do (and lighter life is only available to obese people) a healthy eating program is not an option and will take YEARS to get the weight off. Your information about 'starvation' diets is outdated ...  Read the complete review

Just about to start on my journey of Lighter Life. going to the drs to night to hopefully get the sign off. And after reading all the reviews that have been writtenn I can't wait to start. the same as anybody I guess, I was a bit apprehensive.. Thats a lot of money each month, will it work?can I stick to it etc etc.. Then of course the ...  Read the complete review

I lost 5 stones on LL and after a few months your hair falls out and you become anaemic. The weight loss is short lived and i put the weight on faster than losing it. Another FAD diet. In hindsight this was not the smartest choice. My doctor warned me against this diet so I paid a private nurse to weight me and undertake the monthly medical ...  Read the complete review

After struggling with my weight since childhood I decided to give Lighter Life a try before going down the weight loss surgery route. It was by far the best decision I've ever made. A little bit about the diet, firstly it is NOT a starvation diet, which seems to be a misconception that some people have about this plan. It is a fully ...  Read the complete review

I am in day 5 of the first week of Lighter Life and all seems to be going well, having lost 5 pounds in my first pop in weigh day after two days. I find the four litres of water a day tough going, but I see from various comments that increasing this will help further loss, so I am working on this. In order to help my own ...  Read the complete review
