"Lite For Life is far more than a weight loss program, it's a way of life. I could not be more thrilled to have had the opportunity to work with Kathy, she is such a wonderful person! I gained a lot of weight while living in Spain, and wanted to get back on track, and feel better about my body. I never felt restricted or hungry on the program. I learned to make better choices, and even enjoy different types of food. I was able to loose all the weight that I gained, and most importantly, KEEP IT OFF! This program offers guaranteed success. I am one of five in my family that has done lite for life, lost weight, and kept it off. I would recommend this program to everyone! No matter what problem you are having with your weight, lite for life has the solution! Also, they have lots of goodies in their store, so even if you don't plan on joining the program go check out the sugar free treats, the fudge squares are my fave!"

"Great service! I loved the selection of sugar free, organic, low cal and organic food! I found stuff I couldn't find in other health stores and they do nutrition counseling as well."

Well I have to admit that their program helped me a lot. I'm now down to 147 lbs which is making me feel so much better about myself. What I needed and what these guys provided me was : DISCIPLINE and a kind of an adapted diet to my habits.
I had never been able to last a diet longer than 3 months. What Sarah (a nutritionist) and Sylvie (who also lost 20 lbs) did for me, was a program that fit my life-style and my weaknesses. I'm a sucker for chocolate and from the moment I could have my choc bar everyday, I felt I could cruise on this diet forever. I needed someone to check on me, to get me coming in a few times a week to weigh, to look at my menus and guide me whenever I plateaued in order to outsmart my body. They called me when I was absent too long and emailed me and that kind of bugging was exactly what I needed to keep on track. I have now been on my personalized program for 6 months. And I hope to keep going until I get back to 125 lbs.

I have tried numerous diets over the years. I am 53 and so don't expect to lose quickly, but I am steadily losing weight with Lite For Life. The food is terrific. I am continually surprised by the quality, how fresh, natural and delicious everything is. I don't get hungry. The staff at Lite For Life are marvelous. They are helpful, enthusiastic, and patient. They are supportive without being aggressive. This is really a diet I can live with. I am delighted to have found them.

I started at LFL in May and have lost nearly 20 pounds. I have stuck with this longer and closer than any other diet or nutrition program I've tried. I love that it is based in metabolic physiology, with the ultimate goal of keeping blood sugar stable in order to control hunger and metabolism.
The plan basically has you follow a modified food pyramid but cuts the sugar and refined carbs (as well as red meat) so that you are eating just a very healthy diet, high in veggies, lean protein and fruit. The best part is that you meet with a nutrition counselor as often as you like, who reviews what you have been eating and gives you advice, as well as keeps you accountable (oh yeah, and weighs you). My schedule is three times a week, I pop in there, get weighed, review my food diary, maybe buy some healthy food from their little market (it's not required, though) and talk to the counselors about how I've done in the past couple days and any "challenges" I've had. I'm not a group-therapy type person, so the 1:1 attention is perfect for me and fits my busy schedule (you never need an appointment and never wait more than a minute). Another good thing is that while they are very supportive of your struggles, they also really keep you accountable and call you out if you eat crappy food and gain weight. I need that kick in the pants when I mess up!
I highly recommend this as a lifelong eating plan, because it really is about changing how you view yourself and food. You will feel so much better eating this way because your blood sugar is not all over the place (and thus the starving/gorge cycle). They teach you how to make good eating decisions, it's not about buying special food, so I know it's something I will use for the rest of my life

In the past 5 months, I've lost nearly 40 pounds and 7 inches from my waist on the Lite for Life program. While it requires a firm commitment -- both on a personal and financial level -- you get a lot of value for your money, and it's been worth every penny.
The staff is extremely supportive and will help customize the program to fit your needs. They recognize that everyone's needs are different, and they will go to great lengths to make sure the program works for you. Amazingly, I even lost weight over the holidays and despite several trips to Gary Danko -- the staff actually looked over the menu in advance and recommended dishes to help keep me as much within bounds as possible.
This is not a gimmicky weight loss program -- the counselors educate you about the true impact of various food choices (and the science behind it) in order to allow you to lose weight in a sustainable way and keep it off over time.
And although LFL offers food for purchase on-site, the staff does not put any pressure on you to buy food from them. But boy, it sure was convenient! I found myself tapering off in food purchases over time, as I figured out what I could eat from regular restaurants and at home.
If you're ready to lose weight, LFL is for you
