Susana Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 Lighterlife Weight Loss Programme. Has anyone heard about this? It was featured on the Discovery Health channel. Apparently weight loss is spectacular, a stone or more a month. I can find a website, but it doesn't really explain what it is apart from counselling is included to get to the bottom of eating problems. It doesn't say whether it is real food or meal replacements or more importantly how much it costs. I have managed to glean that there is a counsellor in the area, but am reluctant to phone until I know what the cost is. Anyone got first hand knowledge?

stephstellar Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Unless you are morbidly obese, losing weight that quickly is VERY BAD FOR YOU! About 2lb a week is a healthy weight loss, and if you lose weight slowly you are more likely to keep it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susana Posted July 18, 2003 Author Share Posted July 18, 2003 Yes Steph, I do know that. I was enquiring simply out of interest as to how a person can lose that much that quickly. As far as I know you have to be at least 3 stone overweight to go on the programme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephstellar Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 Sorry, didn't mean to sound patronising or anything:blush: ! A lot of the weight loss, that fast, will be water, followed by muscle, and finally some fat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visitor Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 It can't be good for you I agree. Should be done slowly and gradually for lasting results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeJimster Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 I read awhile back about some kinda Ultrasonic wave device they were using to break fat down? Anybody heard anything about that? Or is that only for extreme circumstances? Everytime i try to diet, the most i can keep it up for is about 1 week... I can do the exercise part for months, but i eat too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emma_uk Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 Don't diet!! It's expensive, dangerous, and depressing. Learn to love your body as you are! You are wonderful, unique, special, beautiful. You are exactly as you are meant to be! Don't diet!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules Student Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 My top tip is not to eat too much in the way of carbohydrates in the evening (pasta, potatoes, bread etc) as you don't have the time to burn it off before going to bed (unless you're going dancing!). So, do the carb thing at lunch and eat protein / vegetables / salad in the evening. Also drink plenty of water - lots of folk think they're hungry when maybe they're just in need of a drink. Having said this I'll be having a pizza followed by some lagers tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
