LighterLife Diet Review
Everyone wants to be healthy. Men and women alike don’t wake up one day and say they want to be fat. However, they’ll wake up one day and realize that they are and want to change how they look. One such diet making its presence known in the United Kingdom is the LighterLife Diet. This diet is geared to men or women who have a body mass index (BMI) of 25 or more and has already helped many people.
What is the LighterLife diet? It’s a low-calorie diet that allows you to eat one traditional meal along with shakes you drink called Total Balance Foodpacks. How does it work? It puts a person’s body into ketosis so that it will use the body and dietary fat instead of the glucose for energy. Ketosis will enable fat loss but it will suppress the person’s appetite as well.
Are you a resident of the United Kingdom? If so, then you can pick up Foodpacks at a nearby Lighterlife Center. It’s vitally important that you participate in weekly support groups with a LighterLife counselor in charge.
Like many diets a person will run into, there are pros and cons to the LighterLife Diet. When you study the pros, there are four significant reasons to use the LighterLife Diet. They are:
- You do lose weight with this diet.
- You have a support and counseling program to turn to when you need it.
- It will address the psychological problem with overeating.
- Replacing meals have proven well to losing weight.
When you study the cons of the LighterLife Diet, there are four reasons the diet should be avoided. They are:
- It’s only available to persons living in the United Kingdom.
- It’s not a long-term weight loss solution.
- Replacing meals doesn’t always give you continued weight loss.
- Not a lot of calories.
When you study the Foodpack of the LighterLife program, you’ll notice that each one is about 530 calories with 14 grams of fat, 50 grams of carbohydrates and protein and have about 75 to 100 percent of the vitamins and minerals you need daily. You’ll also be ingesting teas, broths, soups and shakes.
When you do the LighterLife Diet, you can only eat one meal a day. Your counselor will discuss with you what should be contained in this one meal.
Only overweight men and women who live in the United Kingdom are able to do the LighterLife Diet. However, this diet is similar to ones seen in the United States. A drawback to this diet is that it restricts calories so maintaining the weight loss could be a bit difficult. Is it worth it? For many people, it is worth it.

Hi,
I did Lighte Life and, unless it has changed, you cannot eat one meal a day. You have 4 milkshakes, soups or bars (very unpleasant!), all from sachets, per day. I lost loads of weight on this diet but there are, obviously, lots of things that you will not be warned about. My eye sight worsened by well over 50% and my optitian said it would be down to the diet I was on. My eye sight has not improved. I also developed large boils on my lymph glands under my arms. My Doctor (who had charged me £30 to sign the papers allowing me to do the diet!) said that this was due to the diet too! They were so large and painful that I passed out several times. Throughout this diet I also had regular dizzy spells and my hair thinned drastically! Needless to say, with any diet that removes you from the base of your problem – food – the results are not long lived and I have now put all the weight back on having never retrained my approach to food! 5 of my friends also did this diet and all had similar problems, the main one being that they are all back to their start weight!! The only way to lose weight is to excersise and eat less! I worked out why I over ate by stopping myself every time I reached for a snack and asking myself why I was doing it. Usually the answers that came back were boredom, feeling low or rewarding myself. I have now dropped a dress size and am doing 5 x 10 mins of excersise everyday! Go go go!

I have finished the lighterlife diet and lost 12 stone and it has literally “saved my life” this was 18 months ago and i have not regained the weight neither has the friends i made at the classes ?
if the only way to lose weight was to eat “healthy and exercise” i would have been thin all my life so that is rubbish !! this plan can save your life as being obese is more dangerous than any diet stop making excuses for your own poor self discipline and take some responsibility for yourself

Agreed….I was full of joy to lose 3.5 stones in 13 weeks – the sheer thrill of slipping into size 12s instead of size 18/20 – it was short lived. I also lost hair at the sides of my head – and a year later its only just thickened back out…as has my bum hips and everything else…yup – am now a stone heavier than when I started….and I swear my metabolism is screwed from almost starving myself….and I’m still getting bigger – time to do it the old fashioned way – eat healthily and move!!
