LA Weight Loss

Lose weight and look great like everyone in LA


BACKGROUND

With more than 400 locations and success stories from across the world, LA Weight Loss has helped people battling the bulge lose the weight, not the lifestyle. This tagline for LA Weight Loss attracts people across the globe to a program that teaches how to effectively lose weight- not just give you the answers. It's not another trendy diet of the moment. Since 1994, the LA Weight Loss centers have provided clients with individualized counseling, by nutrition experts or successful clients, that prepare them for leading healthier lives. Encouragement, smart eating and exercise all contribute to the success of LA Weight Loss clients. You'll learn to eat appropriate portions, as well as enjoy a diet rich in nutrients- a balanced approach that does not focus exclusively on one group of food or completely remove another.

A complete history of each client's health is taken by counselors. This offers an extra level of attentiveness so that the program is safe and effective. Clients then visit the center to participate in individual counseling meetings. LA Weight Loss lasts only 12-months divided by three phases: Weight Loss, Stabilize, Maintenance.

DIET and NUTRITION

LA Weight Loss has a non-diet approach. They promote a healthy weight loss program, that teaches you how to live a healthy and balanced life- not just kill a few pounds for the moment. You won't have to seriously restrict one group of food, like a low-carb or no-fat diet; instead, you'll learn how to enjoy all things in moderation assuring your body receives all the nutrients it needs. In addition to teaching how to make and enjoy delicious, healthful meals at home, LA Weight Loss recognizes that it's not always convenient to do so. LA provides guidance to help you dine at a restaurant, without neglecting your plan.

LA Weight Loss also has a healthy cookbook available at most centers. Inside you'll find chocolate truffles, vegetable ziti bake and their famous philly cheesesteak.

EXERCISE

As part of the LA Weight Loss program, you'll be encouraged to get up and move. Any weight loss program worth its salt is going to make this recommendation- so don't think you're getting out of it. LA states that even a mild exercise regimen will yield results. Your exercise plan will be created by your counselor, specific to your needs, experience and limitations.

CONCLUSION

Provided there is a center in your area, LA Weight Loss is an ideal weight loss program. By offering individualized counseling, you're able to follow a plan created specific to your unique needs. If you're looking for a one size fits all program- then look elsewhere. With a long established brand and reputation and genuine testimonials on the site, you'll feel right at home at LA Weight Loss. Most importantly, you'll be able to lose weight and find a balanced, healthy lifestyle.

I joined LA Weight Loss 6 years ago and have managed to keep the weight off. I lost 30 pounds in 4 months along with cleasing. I have only gained 5 pounds out of the 6 years. You have to be discipline in order to loss the weight. If you don't you will go back to your old eating habits. I think the program was expensive, but if you want something bad you will do what it takes. "Spending the money was worth it." I just found the other website and will continue with the protein bars. posted Jan 9th, 2010 8:33 pm

You can do the LA Weightloss program without the LA Lites. I joined LA Weightloss in 2005 and told them the only way I would join is without the bars. They added 1 protien and 1 starch to my meal plan to compensate. I lost on average 3 pounds a week. I lost 60 pounds in about 22 weeks. it is a great way to lose weight but this is a VERY expensive plan. It cost me about $400 to join and startup. posted Jan 3rd, 2010 9:02 am

I went to LA on a whim in 2002. I lost about 25-30 pounds in about 4 months. I was very faithful. It taught me to eat right and exercise. For 4 years, I kept my weight off and even lost a little more. I only gained some back after two pregnancies. Sure wish they were still around. They are expensive!!! But, if you hold firm to not buying the supplements, it's not so bad. The HOLLYWOOD DIET juice found at Walgreens and Walmart is very similar to the Take Off juice. The LATOYOURDOOR (where you can buy the lites) is a good option. Seems like they are more expensive than I remember, though. posted Dec 31st, 2009 9:34 pm

I need to find the web site that sells la lites. I lost a lot of weight before when I was on the program. Now I gain all the weight back plus 25 more. I started a new diet,I loss some weight but I think I need the lites for the same effect. posted Nov 12th, 2009 12:47 pm

I want to start the LA program again, however, does anyone have the orange sheet for inital starting up?

I think it is eat only green vegetables, and as much of those and clean proteins as you can, i.e., turkey breast, chicken breast, egg whites, etc. posted Oct 17th, 2009 9:52 am

This was the most despiteful scam I have ever been a victim of. First, they told me they were moving to the "other" center, and then they totally dissapeared without leaving a number to call to claim the BOXES of lites that I had previously bought!! I can't believe how good they are to make you trust you and then do this!! If somebody knows what I can do to get my money back, please let me know!!! (the system was working for me, which hurts me the most, I believed in them, you know?). I'll settle for the bars too, as long as I don't feel like I was robbed. posted May 11th, 2009 11:39 am

I also went lost a lot of weight on the program, but when the center closed I was back to my old ways of eating. I was left with so much bars that I haven't even began to think about eating them. The support is really necessary and I'm very sorry that LA Weight Loss didn't stay in my area. posted May 3rd, 2009 5:17 pm

I lost the weight, 24 lbs in about 14 weeks. The program was too expensive. After you lose the weight, you must stay on the program to maintain. I have gained back the 24 lbs, plus about 5 more. Can't afford another diet program. posted Apr 29th, 2009 9:35 pm

Now that I can order the LA Bars online, I would like a copy of the food guide so that I can get back to my goal weight and keep it there. posted Apr 26th, 2009 1:53 pm
