IS the Cambridge Diet better than Lighter Life???

[Sez]

I did LL, and lost about 8st on it. However, after the Foundation stage I found the Development was not quite as helpful. (My LLC was great tho, and as they say different strokes etc.....)

I came to Cd as an alternative after regaining a fair bit over Xmas, birthday, Easter etc. I much prefer the flavours and variety on CD, the MAM is a godsend and the bars have really helped some of my cravings.

Some of my personal experience re Counsellors has been sadly lacking, but the diet itself is working well for me. And of course, the reduced cost is a huge bonus!

All in all, I think it is a personal decision as to which plan you choose, but always bearing in mind that there will always be an option to switch should you feel it was the wrong choice for you!

Good luck!

[QUOTE=mizzyk;47110]I am doing the Lighter Life Diet and am plodding along on it and not really enjoying it...I spoke to a friend who told me she is doing the Cambridge diet after starting on the LL diet but then switched and is finding the CD much better for her as it costs less and they have nicer food packs....and they get some thing called add a meal???

Can anybody really tell me which is the better and nicer diet??? I am struggling to

Hi
I did LL for 7 months and found that the councelling was invaluable.
I was part of a small group - about 5 of us - and 5 years on I am still good friends with 2 of the ladies.

The reason why the rules are so strict with LL - the extra money, charging for missed weeks, signing to say you will follow for 100 days etc is because it is a serious massive life change. It is a plan that is not to be taken lightly and needs commitment from each individual. Plus the high cost means that you have to take it seriously. I had to get doctors permission to start and then had to have blood pressure taken every 4 weeks to stay on the plan.

Things have maybe changed since I followed LL - the charge for one, as it was £45 week .

We all found the councelling answered alot of questions for all of us and wasnt just a bunch of overweight women sitting chatting - it was useful and sometimes very emotional. Our conceller was fantastic and no-one ever missed a week or cheated.

Sorry if I sound a bit defensive about LL but I did find that my LL experience was an extremely good one.

I agree that the flavours on CD are far far better but I also found that I never wanted to cheat on LL whereas when I tried CD , I did.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do - sorry to rant abit xx
