Diet: LighterLife
LighterLife Men's Forum

It has been suggested to me that if tere were enough men here, that it might be possible to have a men's forum.

I think this is a great idea - perhaps if you are a man and you agree, you could post in this thread so that the mods have an idea of how many men might join in.

Cheers
Mike

I am not a man, but I think that is a very valid request!! Would be nice for the guys to have a place to discuss the males issues during this thing without having to trawl through all the girly bits!!

But don't expect to keep us out all the time!!! Just like a clubhouse....a "no girls allowed" sign never works!!!

Agreed - women welcome to prowl!

I love the idea of a men's board
Maybe a general one though for all men on a VLCD rather than just Lighter Life?

I know we have a new Lipotrim member starting tomorrow. We could put it in the general VLCD place.

What do you think?

I think it would be great as a general VLCD one, would then welcome all the men we have too.

Fab!

Would it not be better having it somewhere other than VLCD then users of any diet could use it. There were a couple of men on WW but their posts died off, I think we scared them away.

I know there are a couple of men on SW too...

What do you think?

Yes - that would be better than nothing I guess. I'd rather have it just for LL though as there are differences and it can confuse people about what is allowed and what is not.

I agree with that Mikey.

Perhaps they could do a Men's Main Forum, and then have sub categories for LL, CD, etc? Just a thought.

I don't think so Starlight.
I for one do not use the general weight loss boards.
I am absolutely not interested in anything to do with WeightWatchers and that sort of diet and I would not bother contributing or reading a thread that covers so-called diets like WW.

I am sure that I am not alone in this.

An interesting question though - is there a certain zeal about VLCD's?

Several people on LL that I have spoken to have nothing but scorn for WW yet praise LL, and I have to say that the evidence does seem to point to the fact that VLCDs are the most effective way of losing a lot of weight. Perhaps WW is Ok for those with a few pounds to lose though.
