Lighter Life is just another vehicle we use to help us on this journey of weight loss/ weight control! yes the packs are pricey, but the nice thing is that u do get the counselling input, it shud be said tho that it may benefit long term to have the 1 on 1 to really deal with the underlying issues of why we overeat and u will find that they usually emotionally linked! I myself was spending close to £10 a day on drinks and junk food and besides my weekly shop the Lighter Life does then seem cheaper if u look at it like that. The absence of food did make me examine my methods of overeat and I have been dieting since the tender age of 11 years old I am now 41. I must say tho that with other diets I did become dehydrated and had night cramps even with taking vitamin supplements with Lighter Life the perfect balance of the vit and mineral content I don't have any side effects like those experienced before which is why it made me stick to I longer. I may suggest tho that the packs shud contain something like CLA a very important diet supplement used with athletes to preserve the muscle tissue especially that of the heart when dieting or losing fat. To me this is where they have gone wrong and perhaps have not considered. This is solely my opinion so yes it is a great great way to lose weight and trust me I have tried them all out there! I don't blame anyone or anything out there for my overeating. I can lose weight by just cutting down my caloric intake, it is the group support tho that makes the huge difference, so yes for me Lighter Life does work it is up to YOU how you make it work for yourself longterm!

We met up recently and he told me that at the moment they are eating take-out/in restaurants 6-7 nights a week! Can you believe that? He's obviously given up altogether.

In the last 2 months I've managed to keep all but 1/2 a stone off by a mixture of eating less, drinking less and filling in some meals with lighterlife bars or shakes. Now I've put that 1/2 stone back on, it's triggered a self set level where I promised myself I wouldn't get any heavier so I'm back on lighter life for a few weeks. It's all about the choices you make. Your brother, Paul, needs to look at his life and decide if he wants to die young. Once he's made that decision, he'll find it easier to stick to healthier eating. I’ve been on lighterlife for 2 months, I lost over 4 stone but didn’t finish the programme.

The lighter life is the way you change your eating habits after the packs, have been finished. If you follow the rules go to the meeting and find your innner self then the programme works. if you stuff you face with the same crap, as before. Then you will put your weight back on. you need to keep a low Gi foods with medium GI and the weight will keep off. you have to change your eating habits, for the rest of your life .Some people are not willing to do that so when you find yourself looking in the mirror, back to being fat again the only person that has failed is the one who has gone back to the baby step. for anyone to suceed they must be postive with ones, self. let me tell you a story of my child hood., I had a pet rabbit I loved this rabbit and one day i did not eat my dinner. The next day i came home from school and ran up the garden path . I looked in the cage and my rabbit was gone. I ran into the kitchen to find my dad and killed my rabbit he turned to me he said "now you eat your dinner," for the rest of my life I suffred THE PAIN of seeing my dead rabbit by eating until i got so fat i hated myself. when i went to lighterlife they gave me an out look on food. so please find that inner self do it for you to be that happy person that you want to be . good luck I have been on the lighter life programme and lost weight . after 12 weeks still slim and very incourge by the programme.

I guess he just needs to hear it from somebody else other than me. (Good idea about the body fat, I might suggest it to him next time he jumps on a fad). You’re completely right.

Taking shakes is just a temporarily solution and as soon as you start to eat the way you used to the kilo's pack on again. People who take shakes should measure their fat percentage at the start of the shake diet and at the end. A lot of people actually have a higher fat percentage afterwards, which means that they lost a lot of muscle. Not such a good weight loss option!!! At least you got the right idea!
