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.

HELP!!! I lost 50 lbs. on the plan 5 years ago and have gained ALL of it back...I know...I know...it's MY fault. However, I'm SO ready to start this again. I was on the purple plan and have no information about the plan. I basically remember what I used to eat but really think I need to measure in the beginning. I've started (what I can remember) the plan and am NOT losing weight. I've been 195 for a month! UGH.....Can anyone mail me anything?? HELP!
Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the portion size book? It shows what amount is equal to 1 protein, starch etc? It also has the restaurant options in it. I have misplaced mine and the store i was affiliated with has closed. It would be greatly appreciated!
One more thing....I have all the original books and info....try to email me first before posting here I receive them on my phone so getting in contact with you will be much faster..

I have been out of contact since school has kept me completely spent. I know some of you have emailed me with questions, and when I have sent back for specifics, I am not receiving a reply. I will check this message board frequently and will post my email address if needed. Also...I have still kept off the 110 lbs that I lost back in 2006 and have recently taken on weight lifting. I am looking for any individual who was left out in the cold by LA weightloss and needs to finish the journey they started. If you live in the central texas area near Killeen please let me know..

It was the only diet I tried that worked. Was never hungry. Gained a few lbs back due to my neglect. Very easy to go back on the diet and take off 10 lbs.
This is the first diet I've ever been on that I never had a weight gain and never even reached a plateau. I was really bummed out when they closed. I think if they are going to start selling online, those of us that were in the program and were left high and dry should be given some kind of compenstation for the new program. We loved it, would be willing to try again, but don't want to start something that is going to leave us out in the cold and gaining all the weight we lost back again.
Was anyone a member of the Cary,NC office
I was in this program and they closed the office and I need to know when, the closed down the office.
please send a response.
Corrine, I have the cards.
grapes - serving 15 or Honeydew -1/2 cup= the size of tennis ball
Protein =- Beef or Pork = 4oz
1/2 Serving : Turkey or Chicken (4oz.) size of a Deck of Cards.
LA Weightloss was a great program. Met some pretty nice people there too. Support was great, but, like, so many of you......one day the place was closed and that was that! You can purchase any of the LA products on-line @ LA to your door. The prices are a bit high. It is still a good scam as well as a god program to ose weight. BUT!!!!!!!!!!! If you really want a lifetime change and a good healthy way to lose your weight...join Weight Watchers program. It is not money grabbing scam. It teaches you the right way to eat...portions, healthy 9 foods a day, etc. LA was just a good take off on WW and pushed you into the supplements and the snack bars. There is no juicing it every 14 days with WW. There is no need for that if you learn how to eat correctly and to portion your foods. Go for it friends. It is a great way to live. I have lost over 50 pounds and have kept it off for several years now.
I liked the plan, but I didn't like the staff at the particular location.
Same story - one day I went to the store & they were closed. No notification or anything. I was only on the program for 6 wks. & now what? No refund?!! If anyone has the little cards they give you to let you know the ounces & portion sizes eg. grapes 10 per serving or ground turkey 6 ozs. please let me know I lost mine & at least want to try on my own. I am not paying for them again. Help!!
Monica King I have 15 lbs to lose, can you give me any advice? Your succcess is really encouraging
Can I bay your product somewhere? I was on LA diet here in Canada when they close Im very unhappy because I put some weight back. Scare me somuch. Please help me Eva.
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.
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.
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.
i need to call you i need your 1800 number
I lost 45lbs on LA and have kept it off for over a year, it really is a lifestyle change. i still follow the diet to keep on track and am quite active but have noticed the pounds trying to creep up. i need a cheaper alternative to the LA lites and the Take Off juice. can someone let me know please! I cannot go back to the dark side.
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.
