“Supportive and througher”
Written on: 15/03/2013
I have found all of the consultants very knowledgeable and committed. Although there is a big cost to outlay at first you are supported for life which I think is very important. You are not left in the lurch once the food stops. The whole point is to change your eating habits for good and importantly I have found I am being completely supported until I reach my goal weight. I like the fact that the consultants have been chasing me every week to make sure we catch up. I appreciate this as I... (read more)
“Expensive”
Written on: 15/03/2013
I lost two stone on the Go Lower plan, however it cost me £800+ for two months food which is very expensive. The consultants were very helpful when I found I was struggling however I found that once the two months were up that was it. I did get the odd phone call now and again from a consultant however I found it a real struggle to continue and maintain the weight loss. It would have been so much better if there had been cookery books and more literature once the eight weeks were up and... (read more)

One star for the food (which is more or less ok) and one star for the despatch team, a zillion negative stars for the so-called individual consultants. Individualised support is non-existent. They even sometimes forget to send a box(to be triggered by the consultant) and will never contact you spontaneously. If you do speak to them, the anwers are taken from a standard list, e.g. "eat eggs and bacon for breakfast" if you reach a plateau. Changing branding was used to get rid of a huge... (read more)

If you try any type of ketosis diet I'm the future but some ketone sticks. You have a wee on the stick and it tells you how far in ketosis are you would be interesting to find out if as you get older you aren't able to get as far into ketosis.
Some alternatives you may like to try.
Slim and Save
The egg diet/grapefruit diet.
The new Atkins diet would definitely recommend!!
I'm sorry you was disappointed definitely purchase the sticks research them diabetics use them but I used them when I did ketosis diets to give me an idea if I was completely in ketosis or half way ect.
Good luck!

What an awful awful company. I had my consultation amd was told my package would be here in 10 days. Then was swamped with calls everyday twice if not more while I was working asking me to upgrade and spend huge amounts of money. This went on for about 2 weeks (no sign of my parcel) until eventually I had to send a rather rude email to customer services telling them to eff off and stop calling me at work and just send what I bought. So over 3 weeks later ( they got my address wrong as well... (read more)

I followed the go lower programme 6 month ago and lost about 20 kg. I am not loosing anymore but I am able to keep my weight down buy watching my carbs intake. It is difficult to avoid carbs unless I prepare meals in advance as every single salad or food out there in the shops is full of carbs. Also it is difficult to cook the receipts from the website as my family desire food that we eat before and therefore I end up cooking a meal for myself and one fore them. But overall the food that...

I found this diet to be quite good at first, but couldn't get it to fit into my work life which involved a lot of travelling to different countries. When I had to eat other foods I got very bloated, which is a reaction I have never had to food before. I took myself off the diet and subsequently put on all the weight I had lost. I am now just eating healthy and exercising which is working much better for me. (read more)

I was a 19 stone bloke of 54. As part of a change of life I decided I wanted to lose weight. As I am by nature a massive sceptic I had avoided assorted faddish offerings in the past and couldn't bear to join the kind of club where everybody claps and you have to take part in mass weigh-ins. I had tried by do it myself several times to lose weight by "generally cutting down" but beyond a couple of pounds here and there (soon put back) it hadn't worked at all.

I have tried different diets in the past, and never found one I could happily live with until I read about Go Lower (now Natutal Ketosis) in a Sunday supplement and thought I'd give it a try. Bingo!! Not only did I lose the few pounds that I hoped for, but I also felt much better in myself. Cutting down on processed food and carbs has appeared to completely get rid of the stomach cramps and bloating that I used to suffer from. Using the programme's meals was a good way to introduce the... (read more)

I initally did this diet with a great attitude by the end of the first month I had lost 6lbs. I carried on, had good support, plenty of phone calls and was able to change some of the foods that I did not like. I found it all incredibly salty and totally unappetising. Very thin gravy and much too spicy. I did like the salami though and have carried on with salami salads at work although I buy the meat from the supermarket, as it is much cheaper.

I completed this diet last year, unfortunatley I finished earlier than i wanted to due to some emotional complications that were going on in my home life which automatically took me back to being a comfort eater. I lost 2 stone in 2 months, i wasn't hungry as i was able to snack on pure protein between meals and it's hard to feel like you're on a diet when you're eating bacon and eggs for breakfast. The meals i didn't like i was able to swap with the company without any hassle and they... (read more)

It appears that they are very much wanting your money, but I personally have found it to be the worst thing I have ever tried to buy and the procedure for getting a refund, even when the company itself has failed to deliver, anything,is an absolute joke.

I started the programme in mid January 2012 as I was heading on a holiday at the beggining of March which left me 6 weeks to shed a few pounds before I hit the beach. I found the first week difficult as the portion sizes were smaller than what I was used to. I was used to snacking on biscuits and crisps and tried to replace this by drinking loads of water. Within the 6 weeks, I lost 11kg and was able to fit into clothes that had been too tight on me. The diet gave me more energy and reduced... (read more)

“Made me ill!!!”

The Natural Ketosis low carb diet was very expensive and I expected something better for my money. The diet started well and I reached a state of ketosis within days and could feel my clothes becoming looser. However, the diet soon became very boring with its limited menu choices. The dinner pouches tended to be 'wet foods' with some odd seasonings and textures consisting of meat in a very thin gravy/sauce. As I prefer a salad at lunchtime, I requested cold meats rather than soup (salami is... (read more)

Written on: 14/02/2013
Overall expensive and you get locked into a contract which cannot be cancelled, but I lost 2 stone over a couple of months ! Was sick of the food though after a month. The breakfast and lunch soups are quite nice but the dinner pouches are sickly after a while. Quite misleading when you look a website and it tells you it's delivered fresh to your door but the don't tell you it's every 3 weeks in tinfoil pouches! (read more)

I knew that I needed to do something and when I called I spoke to a brilliant consultant and she stayed with me through the whole of my initial journey.

I go out and have fun and nobody would even guess that I am on a diet and this is good for me as I have a lot of business lunches. I got regular calls and help and... (read more)

I was disappointed to find that the cancellation terms are basically non existent - once you sign up there is NO backing out. This is perturbing to me as this was not mentioned by their sales person when I bought the program via the telephone. I'm even less impressed now that I find that their breakfasts and snacks include an "ingredient" (a non digestible fiber)that basically gives me violent diarrhea / and horrific flatulence (LOVELY!) So now, effectively, unless I can force a... (read more)

I too was in your poisiton and had to plea with them that their diet was making me ill. They do cancel (though as you said, state there is no cancelling) but will charge you a cancellation fee ( I know it makes no sense). Otherwise cancel the card that you gave them the details for by calling your bank and telling them you have lost it. Inconvenient I know, but they do not play fair therefore neither can you!

I was at my wit's end after being treated for cancer and needed to lose the weight which was such a risk factor for the disease. The meals made it easy to follow the diet and the telephone support helped to sort out problems with plateauing which happens to most people trying to lose weight. I lost over 2.5 stone over 7 months and several health issues have just gone away. No standing in line for a public weigh-in or endless talking about food and marketing of crisps, biscuits or cakes- just... (read more)

Hi
I have just started this diet due to health reasons also. I have asked about the use of spices but told that I could not even if I brought them fresh and roasted them off myself. What was the advice you were given? Did you use spices?
Thank you

Hi
I was initially told not to have turmeric as it might contain flour. As this is an anti cancer food, this was upsetting. however this was later retracted and i was advised that herbs and spices were allowed. You just have to be careful that no flour has been added as a bulking agent.
Good luck. It does work and the forum is a great support to help you keep on track.

At seven stone overweight for my BMI, starting a diet was something I dreaded. I am over 50 and have tried more diets than you can shake a stick at over the years. The Natural Ketosis consultant was so encouraging when I rang up and her quiet confidence that 'of course' I could lose that weight on this diet combined with the provision of meals, has made it easy to stick to. I have lost four stone in five months and friends and family have been unable to believe how well I look. I was... (read more)

I really was very disappointed with this programme. The consultant I originally spoke to was very positive and I know that ketosis is a great way to lose weight so I signed up. The food was fine, some of the meals were very tasty and the vegetable suggestions are superb, but the support is where they let themselves down. Their calls were intermittent, often when I was unavailable, and when I would call back to speak to my consultant it could take a week to speak to them. On more than one... (read more)

I started the Natural Ketosis program last year with a lot of weight to use. I have always found the service great and very personable.

I found exactly the same - I signed up a year ago. After 4 months I had lost 1 stone and still had 2 stone to loose according to what I signed up for initially (3st in 3 months) but no one seemed to know that at head office because I was put on maintainance without realising I was still in the losing stage. I had very little contact from their 'advisors' and the one I signed up with cut back to 2 days a week and I was out of the loop. So, on being informed by me, I was then placed with another 'advisor' who really spent each call asking me what I was doing wrong if I had not lost 3lbs+; we then switched to email contact which meant I sent them an email of my food diary,and they gave me a 'critique'. One week I only lost 1 lb and got a snippy email asking me again what I was doing wrong. I was quite chuffed with the 1 lb loss until then. By this time of course they had my £900 and really wanted shot of me.
Listen up - the food is good; the programme will be easy for those who don't want to make food choices or calculate contents of food; but you will still have a weekly food bill for nuts, yoghurt, vegetables, lettuce, raddishes, cucumber, green peppers and berries. They do have ingre

They did this to me too. They did stop it after October as I had been diagnosed with cancer and started chemotherapy and told them I would restart in April when I finished treatment. I had started on the 16th September and actually cancelled within the legal requirement for mail order of 7 days but they still took money out in October and took a month to refund it. Then they didn't take money out after that until I just checked yesterday and they have taken money out in January but again, as in October did not send any products. I am going to ring them today and warn them that I am turning them into the Office of Fair Trading.

I'm having terrible trouble with them too. After speaking to the counsellor before Christmas I had a major expense which needed to be sorted so I emailed them and asked them not to take any money out of my account as I was not ready to start the programme and that I would be in touch when I was able to afford to do it.
Last week they took a month's money out of my account, even though I asked them not to AND I had not received any products from them (not that I want to receive them now).
I've been emailing and chasing the counsellor and their accounts manager and I haven't even had an acknowledgement. I'm really not happy about this because they've taken a lot of money from me causing me to go overdrawn and incur daily bank charges.
I would definitely NOT recommended this company.

The food tastes great and i am going to get support from my own consultant. i found the process of joining really easy, all my questions were answered in depth, so i was confident with my decision to join. i am really excited to lose the weight that i have struggled to lose with other diet companies. They also explained on the phone that they will teach me how how to maintain the weight that i lose, so hopefully i... (read more)

I must say that when I started Go Lower, I felt ghastly the first week, tired and headachey but I read on the website that these were normal symptoms of your body reacting to suddenly being denied energy giving carbs. One day I felt so bad I had to go to bed which is not like me at all. But I didn't give up after two days! That's just daft and a terrible waste of money. Persevere with it and you'll find it does work. Once your body goes into ketosis (when the body starts drawing on your fat reserves to keep going) you'll find you are not hungry and the weight starts dropping off. I've lost getting on for 3 stone so far and I feel so much better. The food is expensive which is one of the reasons I persevered with it and I'm so glad I did. O.K. the sauces in the food pouches are thin but it's not the end of the world and you can heat them up in a saucepan and boil down the liquid if you want to. Don't give up. Have a look on the website forum and you'll get loads of encouragment and advice from like-minded people. Good luck.

Hi netty I am about to start go lower and I expect the affects of headaches and tasteless food but it is solid food I am looking forward to.
I was on lighter life and lost the weight rapidly in two months I lost two stone. When I went back to slimming world the weight was going back on I could not face doing lighter life again as there food packets were unedable the only food was the milk shakes and fruit bars that had the taste even if these food packets have no taste or are revolting I am determined to stick to it I would say do the same it is the loss of weight that you can look forward to

“Not for everyone”
Written on: 09/06/2012
Started off very enthusiastically but as the weeks went by and the weight loss stalled so did my enthusiasm and motivation. The support was ok, didn't start too well as the communication was very few and far between but with a swap in personnel it got better and the fact they have been through the programme themselves was encouraging. I don't think this programme is for everyone and while it has opened my eyes to my own eating habits I'm not sure I would do it all again given the chance to... (read more)
“Overall”
Written on: 09/06/2012
I entered this programe as a last resort as I have tried every programe under the sun . It is very difficult for me to loose weight I always seem to end up feeling that I am just on a maintenace diet The prepared foods were very delicious and flavourfull .and having a nutrtion consultant has been very benificial if you need help all you do is call and the personal help is there, and the calls are free . As usual my weight has been very slow coming off but I have reeived the personel help I... (read more)

Hi tamburrini it is better to loose it slowly and keep it off than loose it quickly and put it all back on again I lost mine too quickly and slowly I was gaining the weight again to loose 1 to 2 pounds a week is better for you and you don't have to give up too much on the enjoyment side
