Question:
hiya, just wondered if anyone has heard of a slimming product called 'lite-a-life', i think that is how you spell it, my friend on Jan 24th this year weighed 24 stone, he weighed himself last monday and now weighs 9 stone, he looks a completely different fella, he is lovely, he says, 'he feels much more better in himself, and that he is active and can buy clothes from any shop!'
he had to go private for this treatment it cost £66 a week but apparantly some GP's will allow you this treatment on NHS, so is free, does anyone know anything about this diet as i can't seem to find a lot out about it on the internet.
i would be very grateful for any information.
many thanx [/align]
hi there,
you can buy a magazine in WH SMiths called Lighter Life, it is for that particular program. Although it seems great in that you lose loads of weight it is not necessarily healthy and when you start eating again normally you run the risk of putting it all back on. You have a liquid drink of around 300 calories for breakfast and lunch and then for dinner you are to eat no more than 500 calories. It is not healthy! But it is your decision.
Hope this helps.

I hope he didn't drop 15 stone since January this year!
It appears to be a programme reliant solely on food supplements and some 'chewy bars' - with a whole lot of water thrown in (at least 3 ltrs a day) and 'real' food added when you have achieved some weightloss. I have been told that you have to submit to the 'programme' for a minimum of 100 days. £66 is the minimum payment for the week, this figure can increase if chewy bars or water flavours are bought. Some people have been successful, and are happy with the backup of the group therapy sessions that have to be attended. A friend of mine did it and lost 3 stone in the 100 days, but 6 months later it was all back on again. She admits to being her own worst enemy, so may enlist again and do better. I would like to think I could achieve weightloss following this sort of regime, but am not sure I could be strict with myself - also I don't have the income to allow £66 to be spent just on my weekly 'food' budget, when I have 3 other people to provide for.
My aunts partner did this last year, he was also a big chappy and lost over 7 stones. He then stopped the programme, and put it all back on.
It is not a natural way to lose weight - it is very limited calories, and involves virtually no food being eaten for the first few weeks - it does not educate you how to eat sensibly,so the initial problem of bad food choices is still there.
However, yes it does promote rapid weight loss, and there is apparently a very good support system available.
A lot of money though.
