Has anyone tried to lose weight with LA Weightloss?

I've worked with clients who have used the L.A. Weight Loss system and had good results.  I've worked with other who didn't have spectacular results.\n\nI've been helping people stay healthy for a more than 20 years, I teach ongoing nutrition, cooking, and health classes and I can tell you that losing weight requires a combination of both exercise and caloric restriction but with a proper nutrition balance. Believe me when I tell you that you don't necessarily want to lose weight 'fast.' What you should be looking for is steady, functional fat loss (i.e., weight that stays off once it is gone).\n\nOnce you read what I'll write below, if you have any specific questions I'll try to answer them either on the FAQ side of my personal website or on my blog -- I won't use your name in either case if you don't want me to. You might also want to visit the FAQ section because it may have some helpful hints for you. It's located at: http://www.betterlifetoday.com/faqblt.ht...\n\nIf you want to lose weight in a healthy manner, keep the following in mind:\n\n1) Check with your physician to be certain that you are physically able to reduce your calories and increase your exercise habits safely.\n\n2) Make certain that the calories you are eating are as balanced as possible. When I say 'balanced' I don't mean that they have to all equal the same number of calories. Instead, finding out how much protein, carbs, and fats your body needs on a daily basis (this will vary depending on your metabolic type but a decent example is the 40-40-20 plan -- 40% of calories from protein, 40% from unrefined carbs, and 20% from fats and oils) can really help keep your energy levels high all day long. \n\nThe #1 reason my clients tell me that they've stopped dieting or exercising in the past is because of low energy ebbs. Splitting the amount of calories you can have per day into 5 - 6 smaller meals will help tremendously (this keeps your body fueled and ready to go and you also know that your next meal is only a couple of hours away).\n\nKnowing what your basal metabolic rate (BMR) is will certainly help you determine how to be calorie conscious. Again, you can find out about BMR and RMR on my site -- it's just too much information to post here. Also remember that you may or may not need supplements to help things along.\n\n3) While exercising (before, during, and after) be sure to consume enough water. The key is not to be 'thirsty' (overtly) during this time of exercise.\n\n4) Adding weight bearing exercise (i.e., lifting weights) will help to tone your body and the thermogenic (fat burning) effect will last long after you've stopped working out -- even if your workout is simply walking).\n\n5) Remember that you'll probably hit plateaus (times when you'll stop losing weight) several times during your weight loss progress. This is completely normal and is only temporary but it can last for a couple of weeks at a time. It is very important to remember that even if your scale isn't showing progress, your entire body is being positively effected by your efforts.\n\n6) Measure different parts of your body (neck, upper arms, lower arms, chest, abs, waist, belly, butt, thighs, etc.) and do it accurately. Write these measurements down and check them once every 2 weeks. This will help you remember that your body is 'reducing' all over -- not just in one particular area. If you're weight training you may actually notice a slight increase in some areas of your body (don't worry -- if you're a woman you won't start looking like a bodybuilder).\n\nAgain, there's no such thing as 'spot-reducing' (for things like 'belly fat' or 'thigh fat' etc) unless you're talking about surgery. Fat is burned off of the body from all over the body. The reason it seems as though some people can 'spot-reduce' is because, in general, t

Yes I did. It was a group session for weight loss. So far I have lost over a stone in weight and think that as long as you have an open mind, hypnotherapy definitely 100% can work

Absolutely!  Check out the testimonials below.  The company offers a 90-day, money-back guarantee.  What have you got to lose, except fat?\n\nIn fact, if you read the testimonials, you'll notice that the people who lost the weight, all lost significant amounts of weight.  All of them chose to become dealers of STACK.  That's how impressed they all were.

Weight watchers is great. I've seen a lot of great results from friends that have gone through it. That is the only plan I would ever go with.

I'd recommend the Hollywood diet to you. For two days you drink only water and the juice they make. They say you can lose ten pounds during that time, if you continue to eat right it will stay off. I tried it and didn't have any difficulty doing it and lost about 8 pounds and it is still off. It doesn't taste bad at all. Plus, after doing it I really feel better than before I started. It is supposed to remove the toxins from your system. I really do think it works. I have more energy, I'm not as depressed and I am not as tired as I was before.\n\nSorry, I don't know anything about Trim Spa. But this is just a suggestion since you don't have much to lose.

Yes, and in a healthy way.\n\nYou want to set a goal of losing 1-2 lbs a week...in the beggining, it's ok to lose 3 lbs per week, but this will average out to be 1-2 lbs during the 16 weeks.\n\nTry Weight Watchers, LA Weigh Loss, or other groups and they'll support you and teach you how to control your calories to lose 1-2 lbs a week. It's not as hard as it appears, just take baby steps and focus on the individual week!\n\nYou should only be exercising <cardio : step, treadmill, jumping jacks, rollerblading, swimming> 3-4 times a week.  You're biggest part is controling what goes into your body: <diet soda-pop or water>, <chips or vegtables>, <chocolate or strawberries>, <hamburgar or skinless chicken breast>.  I've found that my liquid controll <only WATER> helpes the fastest to drop the weight.  Seriously, the groups that offer weight loss programs are reasonably prices, and effective tools to teach you.\n \n16 x 2 = 32 lbs

Yes..But Don't!\n\nCheck with your doctor before starting any weight loss program.\n\nI tried Hoodia and......\nHoodia has worked for me...and with no side effects. \n\nFor all you doubters, here is the prior feedback for another Answers user who followed my advice:\n\nAsker's Rating: *****\nvery good comment i lost 2 lbs in a week\ni think i can almost get in my leather dress, i can hit the town in no time \n\n\n**** VERY IMPORTANT NOT TO GET RIPPED OFF --- \n\n#1. Be sure you are buying pure Hoodia...look for the import certificate on the website. No matter the price, if they do not display this, you really do NOT know what you are getting!\n\n#2. Be sure it is 100% Hoodia & not mixed w/other herbs, etc.!!\n\n#3. Keep in mind it stops your hunger pangs…you MUST remember to break your habit to always eat at certain times.\n\n#4. Drink a full 8oz. glass of water with it!\n\n\nYou can read a good article about how it works at:\n\nhttp://www.hoodia-diets.info/hoodia-diet-capsules.htm\nhttp://www.hoodia-diets.info/hoodia-gordonii-diet-use.htm\nhttp://www.hoodia-diets.info\nhttp://hoodia-research.blogspot.com\nhttp://www.san-diego-plastic-surgery-cosmetic-surgery-doctors.us/\nhttp://www.san-diego-dentist.us/\nhttp://www.medical-research-study-directory.info/san-diego-medical-research-study.htm\nhttp://www.las-vegas-nevada-lawyer-attorney-legal-injury-defense-directory.com\nhttp://www.san-francisco-oakland-bay-area-lawyers-attorneys-directory.com/\nhttp://www.san-diego-lawyer-attorney-personal-injury-dui-car-immigration.info/

LA Weight Loss was a miracle worker for me. It taught me HOW and WHAT to eat. It focuses mainly on portion control and choosing healthy foods. They have different foods and supplements. I’ve never tried a supplement and I created my own alternatives to their foods. They say you need to eat two “LA Lites” every day. They are expensive and I can’t stand the taste of any of them. I did a little nutrition label research and found an alternative. Obviously they want you to buy their products because that’s how they make money. They get your money at the beginning by making you sign up for weight loss weeks (1 week for every two pounds you want to loose), stabilization weeks (6), and maintenance weeks (52 weeks). They have specials for like $5 a week sometimes. I actually did the diet twice. The first time I wasn’t really mentally prepared to loose weight because I was planning on getting pregnant. After pregnancy, they called me and brought me back in to start the program again (I was on hold). The second time, I knew what to expect. I also told them I wanted to loose less weight because I didn’t want to pay for the extra weeks. So, there are ways to get around giving them your money once you figure them out. In the end, I lost about 2.5 lbs a week by just cutting back on the food I ate. I hate exercise. I did none whatsoever and I lost all my weight. I have started cheating recently, but at least I now know how to loose the weight again. \n\nThe part that helped me stay on track was that I had to write down everything I ate. Once a week I went into the office to be weighed and counseled. Whenever I was tempted to cheat, I just thought to myself, “Do I really want to explain this to the councelor.” Obviously, it’s up to YOU to be honest with yourself. Once you stop writing down everything you eat, it’s easier to cheat and not be aware of it. You don’t NEED the program to loose weight, but it’s very helpful.\n\nHope this helped. Sorry it’s so long. I could say a million more things about it. (By the way, it's really tough in the beginning but you get used to it.)

I joined it but i found the diets were not always what i felt like eating. So far i have tried the Joanna Hall diet where i lost 8lbs and then i started Weight Watchers where i lost another 6lbs followed by Slim fast where i have lost 10lbs. And out of them all i did like the Joanna Hall. I don't think you need to pay for a subscription to lose weight.

I had the laproscopic gastric bypass Dec 12th 2005 . I so far have lost 51 pounds . I am short 4'9" started out at 220 and now at 169 . I have not had any problems at all so I feel really lucky not only that but I was the smallest person in that office to have the bypass done . My Dr is amazed at how much I have lost with being so much smaller than all his other patients . I mean the less you weigh the less you are suppose to lose . I take my vitamins and protein everyday that's very important for me to do everyday in order to be healthy . I am so happy that I had the chance to have it done . My insurance company was great at paying too . I have Federal BLue Cross .\n\nAngel

No. The only thing that works is your determination to lose weight.  No product will help unless you truly want to do it for yourself.

Hi, yes I have - I know someone who was on it and they never lost weight but just got ill.  Instead, read the following as it might help.\n\nI got best answer for this before (the first bit) so someone thought it was worthwhile information and I think I'll continue to use it until people start being sensible about their body image and stop bowing to what they think they should look like.\n\nThere is no such thing as a safe quick weight loss. Diets and diet pills don't work they just act on the pituitary gland and make the body lose water (hence weight). It's good to exercise as anything which raises your pulse and makes you sweat is good. It may also be that you're not having enough calories as the body goes into "famine" mode if it doesn't get enough norishment and stores anything it does get as fat, rather than glucose. Every cell in your body respires and this uses energy, ie, food. Without enough energy, your metabolism slows and food is stored as fat. Incidentally, who says you need to lose weight and do you really need to lose the weight? The only thing guaranteed to get a body healthy (note I don't say "lose weight") is to exercise and eat a healthy, balanced, wide variety of foods plus the occasional treat in moderation (this stops any food becoming "naughty" and therefore craved). Please note that body muscle mass weighs four times more than body fat because the fibres are so much closer together. Some fat is important on the body though as it helps regulate hormonal levels in the body and prevents osteoporosis and other bone wasting diseases in later life. Some fat is important on women as too little can cause periods to stop and fertility problems. Women are designed differently to men and a totally flat stomach and no hips isn't healthy on a woman. The question to ask yourself is - do your clothes fit better and how do you look in a mirror - not how much do you weigh. If you think you look untoned, then incorporate some light weights (low weight, high repetitions) into your regime.\n\nAdditionally, I have friends who have taken up Pilates and although they never lost weight, their clothes looked fantastic on them, their posture improved and their entire bodies firmed up. I watched this happen. Pilates strengthens your core muscles (the ones that hold your skeleton in place) so correcting posture imbalances and making a slimmer shape. I believe that yoga also does this although I don't know anyone who has done this. Additionally, try dance (old style ballroom / salsa) as this is a fun way to tone up. Any excercise / activity that raises your heart rate and makes you sweat BUT IS FUN will ensure you stick to it and get fitter.\n\nAdditionally, drink lots of water. Lots of people eat when they are in fact thirsty. If you feel hungry, drink a glass of water first and if you're still hungry half an hour later, then eat. Eat sensibly and regularly and don't forget to eat breakfast (so named because it "breaks" the night's "fast"). Missing breakfast starts the day off badly as your body will just crave and store anything you eat later as fat.\n\nHope this helps.
