Is anyone doing Lighterlife?

[Stripiest]

I have just started the Lighterlife Diet Plan and would like to hear from anyone who is following the plan or has finished it recently?

Basically, how are you getting on and does the therapy work.

I did it for 5 days and was so ill I gave it up.I also know a lady that did it for 8 months - lost 6 stone and has put the entire lot back on.

I was upset it wasn't for me but I think it is unhealthy

Hi,

A good friend of mine lives with his partner. His partner and his mother work together in the buisness that you mention.

I considered doing this as a franchise when I saw a friend lose a lot of weight very in a short space of time, but after looking at it, and checking out other users, It does seem to me that people lose weight, but as soon as they come off it, start to pile it on again very quickly.

its not the best diet in the world. Apart from being expensive, you live on soups and shakes for however long it takes you to get to your target, so when it comes to eating "real" food, it is so difficult not to go back to your old way of thinking. Best thing to do is eat healthy and plenty of exercise.

I thought the idea of this was actually quite good cause it breaks the emotional ties you have with food. I dont know anyone who just eats to live.

my friend went on it and she lost an awful lot of weight she said she was on it to kickstart her diet so when she got fed up she joined W W but even with only having 20 points she started putting on the pounds. she is now bigger than she was when she started and really regrets doing lighterlife

Well thanks everyone for your comments. Have to say I feel a bit disheartened by them, but in the famous words of Bamber Gasgoine "I've started so I'll finish" I'm still going to give it a go. I've lost 5 lbs in 3 days, more than I've managed to lose in a long time. I'll keep you posted.

Hi - didn't mean to dishearten you.I was so determined to make it work.I did it for 5 days and lost 6 pounds.But I had the most crippling headache the entire time,my son had his 16th birthday and I couldn't eat the meal,my partner felt totally guilty when I served him his meals that he didn't even enjoy eating himself and it just was the most miserable thing I have ever done.And yes,I put the 6 pounds back on,plus more!
