I’m currently in the midst of a Total Food Replacement (TFR) diet in order to shift some poundage. I am following the LighterLife Weight Loss plan, featuring food packs at the moment.
All alongside my fitness routine. In the midst means I have flown past the keto-flu stage. The first couple of days when your body is adjusting. Now I’m finding I have oodles of energy and the end is in sight. Read on to find out more about my LighterLife Weight loss journey.
A TFR diet is hard going. Oddly enough it’s always much harder to lose the weight than it is to shed it! Despite the fact weight is simply dropping off, it is not easy. You do need the willpower and support to keep going on the diet. At the moment, my head is in the game and I am totally focused.
Which means I am actually quite enjoying the diet. It’s easy, convenient in the fact all the food packs are measured out. Alongside the fact you really do not need to think hard about what to have for your next meal.
Following The LighterLife Weight Loss Plan
I’m currently trying out some of the LighterLife food replacement meals and am enjoying the products so far. The selection of meal packs has changed somewhat over the years from what I remember.
I thoroughly enjoyed tucking into a 3 Cheese Pasta meal for my dinner earlier this week. Pasta is a weakness of mine, so I appreciated the meal pack whilst being reassured my body is still in ketosis. Which is the state in which your body burns your fat stores in order to produce energy.
Whether you are using the LighterLife products to follow a complete Total Food Replacement diet or simply a 5:2 fast diet, you will be feeding your body roughly 600 calories a day if you take the 4 meal packs correctly.
You are probably wondering how it is possible to crack on on so few calories. Though after the first few days of adjustment, you’ll find yourself with more energy.
Even more so as you continue with the calorie controlled diet and lose weight. Especially when in the swing of things and enjoying the numbers on the scales fall and clothes feeling looser. Also the compliments will keep you spurred on also!
Losing weight on the LighterLife Weight Loss Plan
LighterLife’s group work is facilitated by its own network of Counsellors. Based on its own unique programme which includes cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) and transactional analysis (TA).
The counselling sessions are conference calls with a counsellor and others on the diet. Taking roughly an hour of your time. The aim of the group calls are to really get down to the nitty gritty of your eating habits. Alongside how to adapt to life and maintenance after the diet.
LighterLife suggest that you do try a session along with your starter pack. This is added support to ensure you get the best from the diet.
My biggest tip… keep sipping water. Your intake needs to be around the 4 litre (roughly 8 pints) mark each day. Spread throughout the day in order to keep everything flushing through. You will visit the bathroom more than you expect, so be prepared for that!
First Week Results on the LighterLife Diet
The results of a full week on the diet, if completed correctly will astound you. I lost 11lbs in my first week. Though you need to remember a lot of that will be water retention not actual fat loss. The second week is where you will notice a smaller loss. Though this will be actual fat loss and also inch loss. It’s advised to not only weigh yourself but to also measure yourself so you can keep track of inch loss.
But, for now I am cracking on with the food packs, so expect another update next week! Check out the LighterLife weight loss plan for more news or follow on Facebook to read success stories.
