Has anyone tried the Lighter Life diet plan?

Question

I don't want to do it myself. I am actually a Slimming Consultant - I just wondered as I wanted to go to class armed with facts for those that were thinking of it! Personally, I couldn't do it - I like my food too much! No chewing would be a nightmare - I just wanted people's views of how the plan had worked for them that was all. Thank you though to everyone who has answered.

Answer 1

NO but here is a great plan for your reference: If you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit.

Here are the golden rules:
Initially cut down to 1200 (women) - 1500 (men) calories.
Exercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved if you don't have the access.
Don't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise.
Drink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day.
Limit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day.
Never eat dinner after 6pm.
Adopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!
Make low fat dairy choices

Follow this menu plan as a suggestion:
Breakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon
20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR
fruit salad w low GI soy yogurt
Snack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)
Lunch 12.30pm - muligrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)
Snack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt
Dinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato
Snack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)

Exercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between.

Cardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. If you have access to a gym include boxing and spin classes as well. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes.

To maintain you can increase calories to 1500 (women) - 1800 (men) and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 (women) - 1500 (men) cal and 6 sessions again.

Good luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

Lighter Life Diet Plan

Answer 3

Effectively, Lighter Life combines a very low calorie diet (VLCD) with counselling. All normal food is banned and instead you have four meal replacement shakes, soups, mousses or bars every day, which provide around 500 calories in total and contain the protein, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals needed on a daily basis. The

shakes and mousses come in chocolate, vanilla, raspberry and caramel flavours; the soups are available in mushroom, chicken, vegetable and Thai chilli flavours; and the bars come in nutcrunch, lemon, fruits and toffee flavours. All products are made especially for Lighter Life – they’re not the same as other meal replacement products such as The Cambridge Diet or Slimfast – and meet government guidelines for meal replacement products in terms of their nutrient content.



Every week, you also attend group sessions with a qualified Lighter Life counsellor. The counselling is aimed at helping you understand the relationship you have with food, so you can make lasting changes to keep the weight off for good.

Answer 6

I loved to play ball, and for the first time in my life, I'm actually useful, at a ballgame, instead of just a big stationary person, that maybe if the ball comes within this range, I might get it. I was wearing-I'd always wore XX kind of jersey. And then I went down to medium. And then the medium was too big, that it's coming down here.

So I'm wearing a rockin' outfit, and I'm making a play, and the guy stops, beans it in the face 'cause he says, "Look at your body. You're rockin' hard." And that was the first time I had ever gotten a compliment like that in my whole life.

Answer 7

I havent personally but a friend of mine did and lost about 6 stone doing it.

You must have such strong will power to do this diet. I think I would just miss being able to chew food as its only liquid like soups and milkshakes.

I lost 5 stone and never skipped a meal. Theres no need to go to such drastic measures and all for the cost of £40 a week!!!!!!!!

Answer 8

Take time once a 1 week to plan out and shop for meals and snacks so you're prepared whenever hunger strikes.
