Johnny English's review has yet to be rated - Be the first!
Good Points: Rapid weight loss keeps you motivated. Big drop in blood pressure.Stopped snoring (ha, ha).
Bad Points: It's a bit boring
General comments: I've been on the Lighter Life diet for four weeks, the first week I lost an incredible 16lbs, second week 6lbs, third week 5lbs, fourth week 4lbs. Losing 2 stone 3lbs in just 4 weeks, I think this diet (if you stick to it) speaks for itself.Although the weight loss has gradually declined, I've now decided to introduce some exercise, on the advice of a friend who has lost an amazing 8 stone on this diet, he said that he found the same decline over the weeks, but by introducing exercise he did increase his weekly weight loss.I had very high blood pressure, and since starting this diet it has dropped dramatically, so much so that my doctor has stopped my medication.It's a little tedious, but you lose weight so quickly that it only lasts 10 weeks (for men) and 13 (for women). My wife thinks it's great " I've stopped snoring!If you've got a fair bit of weight to lose, my advice is start this diet now, it's brilliant!!!!

On average, people found this review very helpful
I write this review from the point of view of a behavioural-economist. It is my job to draw together insights from the cognitive sciences and economics to examine what makes people tick and why they do the things they do. My partner recently went on the lighterlife diet after her sister was diagnosed with diabetes, and in helping her get through the first fortnight, I have used insights from my work and applied them to this diet and its effects. First of all, it is vital to break the rules. The ...- Read Economist4Justice's review (635 words and 1 comment)

I completed LighterLife foundation September 2008, lost 3 stone and dropped from BMI 33 to BMI 27. Maintained weight loss until Christmas 2008, when I began to introduce 'trigger' foods - bread & chocolate, in small quantities. February 2008 I had re-gained 9 lb, so re-joined a LL development group....all attendees had re gained large amounts of weight in a short space of time! The counsellor was new to me, she had a punitive approach and promoted the importance of abstinence, almost accusing us ...- Read Guest's review (267 words)

I started Lighter LIfe 2.5 weeks ago and lost so far 1.5stone.
Due to my buisy workscedules, I drive a lot, this diet is brill for me, and after the first 3-4 days which arent easy , I admit, it was a doddle, as everybody started commenting on how better I looked.
With the rate I am loosing weight, I might only need another month before I start the maintanance program.
A lot of people cheat in my group, and wonder why they dont loose as much. I havent cheated once, as I understand the concept of ...- Read mona1705's review (201 words)

Lighterlife is fabulous, easiest most effective diet I have ever done, and the counselling is really helpful. Only bad point is not eating when others are stuffing their faces! I would whole heartedly recommend this diet system to anyone.- Read Guest's review (39 words)

I found LighterLife to have quick results, medically supervised, official and unofficial forums to join on-line which are really supportive. Counsellor available on phone or on-line if problems. Class support great.
Some of the food packs are unappetising, but you can always find something to enjoy. First few days tough, I have to travel a long way to get to a class ( sixty miles each way). Worth it though.
It works really well for me. Quick results and good support. I recommend it.- Read mcgowran's review (83 words)

I'm only in my second week, but feel more confident than I have with any other program. I lost 4ib in the first 2 days and a total of 7lb in the first 7 days. I'll submit another review when i'm further along the program.
Support group is fantastic, small groups (mine is 6) it's the same six people each week so you get to know them really well and help each other along.
My counsellor is fantasic and there is also a mid wekk drop in, so you can pop along if you are struggling oe just need a cha ...- Read tjay's review (175 words)

I lost 4.5 st in 14 weeks. easy to follow, cost £66 per week for basic food packs £75 if u want water flavouring and even more if u get the savoury shakes. My counsellor didnt really know what she was talking about - i knew more as a drug and alcohol nurse! Very hard, unsympathetic attitude. Treated us like school children!
I couldnt afford to continue after foundation programme. attending wt watchers and wt coming off at a slower pace but i can "budget" my food at 5-1000 calories ...- Read Guest's review (122 words and 1 comment)

I recomend LighterLife to anybody who genuinly needs to lose wieght, the health risks of being over wieght are massive and my new found confidence and massive atchievment with this diet has given me the chance of proving to myself and work that I can do anything... even be promoted. I was size 26 after having my son, (I put on 7 stone being pregnant) and now im size 14 and Iv never been sexier to my husband. I dont have to be the fat best friend when I go down town with the girls anymore eithe ...- Read sarahbell's review (203 words)

NRG10's review has yet to be rated - Be the first!
V.fast weigh loss. Easy to follow. Group counselling is invaluable.. I've been on the programme for 11 days. I lost 11lbs in my first week. I think the counsellor you have for your group is all important; luckily my counsellor is excellent (very supportive and geninue). You have to appreciate this is not a magic wand; but simply a way to lose weigh and re-educate yourself. Thus far, just the fact I've stuck with it is very enpowering. Definitely worth a try!It does seem costly; but you have to w ...- Read NRG10's review (112 words)

yellow racer's review has yet to be rated - Be the first!
I have just come back from the 'initial information meeting' and I am not convinced by this programme. Firstly, I know that I am 5ft.6 and that my BMI is exactly 30 (my doctor measured it 4 days ago), and I was told that I am 5ft.5 with a BMI of 33.3. So, my suspicions were raised to begin with.I found that the programme is selling psychological support, without trained therapists onsite, to people who are vulnerable and that worries me. My councillor was sweet, I liked her, but her advice was p ...- Read yellow racer's review (354 words)

On average, people found this review very helpful
I lost 4 stone in 12 weeks. Starting weight 14 stone 2, end weight 10 stone 2. From a size 16-18 to a comfy size 12 and in some shops size 10.
I started in June and finished in September this year (2008).
Now feel amazing, no other diet has ever worked for me like this, on Weight Watchers and Slimming World both of which I have been a member on a number of occasions have I ever lost this much, it would have taken me years to achieve what I did on Lighter Life.
This diet worked for me because the ...- Read lulubelle's review (1005 words and 1 comment)

I finished LL foundation in 09/07/08. My one concern all the way through was once I finished I would pile the weight back on and waste all that money and hard work.
I lost 3st 2lbs during LL then slowly lost a further 11 lbs over the next two months and have been happily maintaining since.
Unfortunately i couldn't afford to continue to route to management where they help you introduce food so I did it myself using left over packs to wean myself off and slowly introduce food as per the plan but ...- Read TJSlimming's review (276 words)

I have been trying to lose weight for over 20 years and have been a yo-yo dieter all my life. I have tried WW, SW, Atkins and many others, the most weight I have lost in the past is 4st but as all yo-yo dieters I put that back on and more every time i lost it. Lighterlife is in a league of their own compared to these diets as they offer therapy in weekly group activities using CBT and TA theories which help you get to the core of the real problem as to why you choose to overeat and eat when you ...- Read yazz1977's review (255 words)

Very happy with loss, but scared of what might happen. Reading horror stories of how people put on even more weight than they lost. I am meticulously deciding daily the foods I intend to introduce into my new life style. I think the people who gained big amounts of weight were at fault themselves. After such a struggle of abstaining to go back to old ways is a SHAME. Where is the will power?- Read Guest's review (78 words)
