Meal Pack Question Can anyone help?

[island_girl]

Hi

I did lighter life a few years back, lost 4stone and maintained the weight loss until a hard time this summer. I have put the weight back on but could not afford Lighter Life. I am starting with SLim and Save and love the meal packs but I have 1 question I can't seem to the find an answer to.

How many of the meal packs are day are you allowed on the 4 pack total replacement? And by that I mean are you meant to have 3 shakes / soups and 1 meal or bar? or can you have any of the packs with the restriction only of the bars? I ask this as I like the spicy spegetti packs best and would like 2 of these a day.

Any replies would be greatly appreciated! xxxx

Hey hun, I might be wrong but I don't think it matters really. I usually have 2/3 sometimes even 4 shakes a day and others I'll have 2 meal packs. I've managed to lose over 3 stone in total, over a stone and a half of that being since January so it's obviously not affecting my losses. I always have a veg allowance too and I'll have a protein meal 3 or 4 times a week I stead of a 4th pack. Hope this helps and good luck xx

Thanks MissAmyMarie and Stef2009 the website seems to suggest only the bars have restrictions, I just remember in lighter life there were more restrictions with the more substantial packs! So I wanted to make sure first! Thanks so much for helping me and congratulations on your massive weight losses they are amazing! Can I ask you both if you credit support off the forum with keeping you on track? I always have success with going to a group but can't afford the costs of Lighter Life at the moment. I am hoping this will be a great way to have the support that keeps me motivated! xxx

Ive only ever done s&s as this was the first time I decided to diet but from what I've read it seems people who switched have preferred it to other VLCD's. Theres a lot more flexibility and I think the fact you can still eat veg and things makes it a lot easier. There seems to be more flavours with s&s too even though I just stick to strawberry shakes and mac and cheese ha. I'd definitely say his website helps, everyone is so nice and motivational, you'll 100% get support all the way though. There's lots of lovely people on here who understand what we're going though and we can speak to them every day rather than just once a week at a meeting xx

I have either 3 meal packs and a bar or 4 meal packs a day

I started out with LL but didn't gel with the group at all, for the 4 occasions I attended, there were only me and 2 other ladies there each time, the rest were a bunch of new faces (to me) each week - totally not the principle of LL or what I felt I was paying for - hence investigating further and finding S&S and the amazing support on here. I have to say that this is much much better from my point of view. The community is so wide that you are more likely to find support from someone who knows exactly how you are feeling/what you are experiencing - and not to diss LL at all cause I'm having great results using CBT - but it's not always your mothers fault!

S&S has so much versatility, I really don't think I would still be following a VLCD if I'd stuck with LL, aside from the cost aspect
