Lighterlife

[mummytasha11]

Hi there

Just wondering if anyone knows how much lighter life costs per week? And if anyone could give me any information on it or success storys really....

I know it has it's pros and cons but I need to drastically do something and think lighter life could be a good start.

Cambridge diet pretty much the same and quite a lot cheaper. They both work well and are quite easy to do once you get into the swing - HOWEVER - once you go back to normal food it is very easy to slip back into the old old routine that got you to the weight you were before!! It the same afterwards which ever diet you do - you eat more calories than your body needs - you put on weight!! I lost 6 stone 5 years ago and have put 3 back on. Every now and again I do a month of cambridge to avoid having to buy bigger trousers!! was like you needed drastic action and to be honest it was amazing to lose a stone in the 1st 2 weeks and a stone a month after that. It was a dress size a month!! Good luck with whatever you decide to do!

I'm on Cambridge - it is £42.00 per week (that is for 3 products/meals) .

I think Lighterlife is around £70 for pretty much the same ...

I've lost 30lbs in 8 weeks on step 2 which is 810cals a day - 3 products plus skimmed milk allowance and small protein based meal (no carbs)

I did LL about 7 yrs ago. I lost 4 stone in 3 months. I kept it off, mostly, with a few fluctuations, and then after my 2nd baby 5 yrs later ended up putting about 3 stone back on, though have lost about 2 stone of that since.

Anyway a little word of warning, those kind of VLC diets can trigger eating disorders, it did in me, and I am still battling it 7 yrs later.

Cambridge diet is cheaper - but you need a good consultant to help you deal with your issues with food, or you will just put it back on.

I started on SS (just 3 shakes) and am now on 1000 plan - 2 meals and 2 products basically. I have managed in the last 6 weeks to lose 2 stone, but also look at my life (thanks to my counsellor) and why I overate. I have not "cheated" once on the plan, and have had some serious moments which would have sent me straight to the biscuit barrel/crisps cupboard/wine bottle. But instead I have been looking at myself and my emotions. Its bloody hard to admit to yourself if you have an eating disorder (which I do believe mine was, I would overeat as emotional punishment) but I am determined to get all the weight off this time and keep it off.

It costs £42 a week here for 3 products a day. And I get an hour a week with my consultant, as well as texts and emails. Personally I prefer the plans where you can have at least 1 meal a day, and I steer clear of bars (I dont agree with a VLCD where you have chocolate for a meal, as it just doesnt teach you anything!) Like any diet, you have to change your lifestyle, and your overeating triggers, or the weight will just pile back on.

Thanks for all your messages. Think I'm going to go for it after Christmas

My friend did lighter life about 2 years ago and lost three stone, regained two, lost one doing their month plan, and then has regained two or three stones. She is basically now back to her starting weight again. She had some health issues while doing it, which may have been unrelated. Have you googled the owner of lighter light? She is obese so it doesn't seem to work for her ...

Probably going to give Cambridge a go seeing as it's cheaper and seems along the same sort of lines as lighter life.
