LA Weight Loss is a company that has a history of weight loss centers and high powered sales tactics. However, LA Weight Loss has recently closed many of their centers around the country and transformed their program to one that can be done entirely online. There are a few physical centers that remain, but the online program allows you to participate in the program no matter where you live. The LA Weight Loss program is designed for those with a busy lifestyle. You can achieve weight loss results quickly using this program. The key to the fast and effective results is called the transmetabolic factor.
This helps your body burn calories throughout the day. You don’t have do anything special for this factor to occur, you just have to follow the LA Weight Loss menu plan. Although the claim is that the transmetabolic factor occurs through the foods you eat, you are required to purchase nutrition supplements each month with the LA Weight Loss program. With the meal plan, each meal includes balanced amounts of protein, carbohydrates and good fat. Portion control and timing of meals is also very important on this program. When you start the program, you use the LA Rapid Results Food Guide. This guide is followed until you lose 20 pounds. At that point you will transition to the LA My Way Food Guide. If your goal is to lose less than 20 pounds, you would transition once you reach your goal. The foods you will eat are those that you purchase at your local grocery store. There are no prepackaged meals to buy, but you are encouraged to purchase and eat two LA Lite Bars each day along with LA SmartTrim Nutritionals.
You will choose the foods you eat each day and never be forced to eat things you don’t like. There are support tools available as well as one on one support through chat rooms and forums. To jump-start your results, you will receive a 2 day kick-start plan featuring the LA Weight Loss TakeOFF Juice. There are five easy to follow steps that make the up the elements of the entire LA Weight Loss program. The LA Weight Loss program is divided into 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. Following the LA Weight Loss program is easy and can be done in five steps. Along with the meal plan you will be purchasing bars and nutrition supplements. For those that don’t live in an area with physical LA Weight Loss Centers, you can complete the program online. Your eating plan will vary depending on your current weight. There are additional products available including additional bars, protein shakes, snacks and a plateau breaking system. The five steps of the weight loss program include:
- Step 1: Use the 2-Day Kick Start plan on your first two days and then every 14 days while you are working towards reaching your goal weight. This stage uses the LA Weight Loss TakeOFF Juice. This juice prepares your body for weight loss and claims to help you get rid of pounds quickly.
- Step 2: This stage starts on your third day of the program and continues until you lose 20 pounds or reach your goal if it’s less than 20 pounds. During this stage you will be using the LA Rapid Results Diet System. You follow the food choices in your food guide that includes foods from the categories of proteins, vegetables, fruits, starches, dairy, fats, beverages, extras and LA Lites Bars. During this stage you will be eating six meals from your allowed menu.
- Step 3: Transition to the LA My Way Food Guide once you have lost 20 pounds. You stay on this stage until you reach your goal weight. Your LA My Way Food Guide includes a more expanded food list. This stage will allow you to continue your weight loss. If you feel more comfortable, you can stay with the eating guidelines of stage two until you reach your goal or are ready to move on.
- Step 4: Use LA Lites Bars every day throughout the program. These bars are said to be a crucial component of your success. They are designed to help reduce cravings and temptations. The bars are convenient and can be taken with you anywhere.
- Step 5: Use the LA SmartTrim Nutritionals with your diet program. These supplements are also said to be an integral part of the LA Weight Loss program. Previously, these supplements and the snack bars were the cause of a lot of scrutiny with the sales practices of the physical centers. Now when you order your program online, they are included. The supplements are specifically designed to give your body the needed nutrients to complete the program.
EXERCISE
As part of the LA Weight Loss program, you'll be encouraged to get up and move. LA states that even a mild exercise regimen will yield results. The LA Weight Loss program is heavily based on the foods you eat along with their snack bars and nutrition supplements. You are encouraged to exercise at least three times per week to burn calories and increase your weight loss results. The type of exercise you do is left completely up to you, so finding something you like would be beneficial.
CONCLUSION
LA Weight Loss has created a program that is different from what they have previously used. You can do this program online without having to go to a center for your products. This is especially helpful because most of the centers have closed. It is important to notice that the bulk of what you are spending on this program each month is to pay for the required bars and nutrition supplements. For those that want to truly lose weight and keep it off, a healthy diet and exercise plan can get you there. Changing your eating habits and adding physical activity is the tried and true way to lose weight, and you won’t spend hundreds of dollars each month on snack bars and supplements.

I had my stomach stapled in 1998. Lost 40 pounds and plateaued before discovering it was'nt how much I was eating, but what I was eating. Last year my son turned 3 and I decided I was tired of being fat, sore knees, plus size clothes etc. and joined LA. I knew I was doomed from the start. I tried to tell the councellor that I could'nt eat meat - it makes me sick to my stomach, and dairy gives me extreme heart burn. Not to mention that my stomach can only hold about 5oz of food. She looked me square in the eye and told me it was in my head and if I wanted to loose weight, I'd have to suck it up and try harded. I felt bullied, and so went home with the bars, supplements and tears streaming down my face. Afterall, she is a professional right? Maybe vomiting once a day won't be so bad?? I gave it a go. One week later, I went in for the consult. I had gained 3 pounds and I was pissed. 6 weeks, switching from the "gout" plan to the "vegitarian" plan, more bars, more money, no more weight loss. My point...Why pay to talk to a brick wall? I can do that for free...I'm married. Still determined to shead the pounds, i have since joined Jenny Craig. I love it and am expecting great success. The portions are just right, the food is delicious, my councellor actually listens and motivates me, and they have come up with a plan that fits me perfectly. HAVE YOU CALLED JENNY YET?

I did LA Weight Loss and was not impressed!! Basically you are paying money for a "personal counselor" to help you with your weight loss goal. However, they are really just sales people that are out to sale you an La product every chance they get. $1000 dollars for vitamins, $300 for meal replacement food, and you still need to go grocery shopping for all that healthy food. Not to mention your membership fee that they love to say "you can always finance it" (yeah okay). Two weeks into the program, I knew that this was not supportive agency like they claim with their one-to-one counselors, because I had different counselor each time I came in who I need to explain my goal each time. The bottom line is you could probably find a friend, chat buddy or a family member to give you the encouragement and a calorie base plan for yourself on the internet for a lot less. Lets face it if your trying to loose weight on the LA weight loss plan your either loose weight b/c your to poor to buy food or pay mortgage or your gain even more weight by emotionally eating b/c you are in debt. At least if your pay in 1000's of dollars you might else well get the damn food delivered to you like nutrisystem. Good luck all my dieters!!!!!

LA Weight loss can work but be VERY catious before joining. You pay a fee for the service and they really presure you into buying their bars and products which you do not need. This can run you anywhere from $1400-$4000.The corporate location in horsham PA for all of the franchise centers are having major financial troubles just like the owner of Pure Weight loss did. They have recently laid off several corporate employees and there is talk of closing all of the franchises. I would hate to see everyone lose their money. Harold Katz the franchisor for LA Weight loss has a history of doing this. Just google him and you will find out what you need to know. They are having problems producing products and supporting their franchises. Many franchise owners have closed their businesses in the States and now it looks like the international franchises are financially struggling as well. The staff is over worked and under paid. Many times you will go into a center and have long wait times due to the shortage of personelle. I feel sorry for these employees. It is too bad because the plan can work but the company is going out of business so do not waste your money.

As a current employee of LA Weight loss Franchise Co, I feel it is my duty to warn all consumers that you absolutely do not want to waste your money because the company will be closing its doors. I was one of the lucky ones this round that did not lose thier jobs but as of Friday, we were told that like Pure Weight loss the company is having financial troubles and are restructuring. They have closed several franchise markets and are continuing to close more. If the Franchisor (Harold Katz) shuts down then all of the Franchise Owners will have no support or supplies to offer thier clients. You do the math. It is so sad that I have worked for the company for over 6 years and too see how things have transpired makes me sick. Due to the lack of empathy that this company shows its employees and clients I can not continue to be a part of it. I am submitting my resignation tomorrow and just wanted to warn everyone to beware before spending your money on the program.This company is CLOSING ITS DOORS!!!!!

I lost about 60 lbs on LA Weight Loss plan and am very happy about that. It has changed my life. However, I developed a kidney stone as a result of taking the supplements and the high protein bars. I would caution anyone thinking about joining because passing a kidney stone was more painful than giving birth to my two children.
