Has anyone tried or even thought about the lighterlife Diet programme? If so i would like to hear from you as i have tried this diet and can give the pro's and con's relating to this diet. Not only that, i have tried many diets and can give my opinion on most diets including weight loss pills prescribed by G.P. such as Orlistat.

A bit about myself,
I am at university studying Applied Medical Technology and hoping to specialize in Cardiology. Most patients that suffer heart problems today are caused by obesity high colestral and i am on here to change my life style and to learn from everyone else's experiences.

I hope i'm not treading on anyones toes from what i have written but really would like to hear from anyone

Thanx
 
if you'd spend some time reading around the forum - you'll find that the prevailing opinion is that packaged diet plans and weight loss pills are ineffective long term -that the only thing that works long term is a lifestyle change.
 
life style change is important

Yes i quite understand what you are saying and i am not trying to get members to look into this diet in fact i want members to see the negative side to this diet for which the company's don't because all it is to them is money "right" so don't think i am trying to poach members. Its that i am experienced enough to know the effects from diet medications to starving yourself. But still, i take risks by knowing which ones work and which ones don't

The other thing is yes, lifestyle change is important but you cannot make someone who is seriously obese do exercise because,

1, being obese myself is tiring and you get out of breath more easily.
2, health needs to be monitored closely because of the further risk to heart attacks. So walking or swimming would be ideal with the cutting down on food instead of going for the straight dieting as hunger will strike.

I'd honestly say that's a load of crap...

Istarted my expedition at over 40 years of age and almost 400lbs... walking is exercise -a person starts with what they can manage and you progress from there...

walking is exercise...
 
Both walking and swimming are exercises but the exercises i was thinking about was more cadiovascular (running aerobic etc) but a good one is which i would recommend is PILATES.
 
Pilates are gentle exercises that tighten and tone up the stomach, bum, and pelvic floor it is very relaxing. Have you ever tried pilates? For more info look on the web.

Seriously - spend some time reading around this forum -- you are woefully illinformed...

Toning is a byproduct of fat loss... tightening is a byproduct of fat loss.. pilates aren't going to do that for you - nutrition will...
 
As Mal has said - the seriously morbidly obese do best by adopting sound nutrition and starting with walking as a highly effective form of exercise. And just to get things clear - if you are seriously obese it does not need to be done briskly to be highly effective.

My biggest concern is that since you intend to eventually specialise in cardiology - you may in the future be in a position to influence people who seriously need to lose weight. Their lives may depend on them doing so successfully. A number of people on this forum can verify how effective walking is.
