Hi Everyone
I have been on Ligherlife diet for 12 days now. I found the first week very easy and lost 10lbs, this week though has been tough, i've been hungry rather a lot and it is the belly rumbling kind of hunger as opposed to just a craving. Although I have had those too!!!
After my first week on ligherlife i could no longer stomach the soups, the thought of them made me want to throw up! So the second week I chose sweet shakes and 7 bars... nearing the end of this week I now can no longer face the bars - i didn't like them so much anyway apart from the fact it was something to chew.
Another thing I found was I really didn't see Ligherlife as value for money, the counselling is pretty non-existent in my opinion, last week there was about 1 hr 15mins of everyone being weighed, then the dvd and about 5 mins chat at the end fo the cognitive therapy bit... for £66 I would have expected a bit more than this... so after thinking about it all week - I'm switching to the Cambridge Diet.
I'm going to see CD counsellor tomorrow, she is giving me two weeks worth of packs, my last day of Lighterlife will be Monday... so I'm pleased to say I haven't cheated but it has been so hard this week... hoping with a bit more choice and tastier bars I will find CD a little more palatable! Have been craving a biscuit all day and I never crave biscuits! I rarely do sweet things when not on a diet!
Last night i went to bed at 7.30 pm as my stomach was rumbling so much, usually drink the required 4 litres of water easily, so yesterday I had an extra litre.. but even that didn't stop my stomach rumbling away!!!
Anyway I now sound very negative, on the positive side I have read a few blogs every time i've been feeling hungry or craving something and these have really helped.
The other big motivator is that I have lost 1 stone in under two weeks, so from that point of view LL has been successful!
