Why should you join our friendly dieting community?
Do you want to lose 5, 10, 15 pounds and just can't make it happen?
Need to get ready for a wedding or beach vacation? Maybe it's leftover baby weight
or perhaps it's a beer belly (which brewed up in college). No matter
where the weight came from, we can help you take it off. We are not here to sell
you anything - we promise & it's all free. All we do is put a
wealth of weight-loss information at your finger tips, give you access to experts,
fun weight-loss information, tracking tools, easy to follow meal plans, plus a
rock-strong community of other dieters to offer cheerleading, and best of all, friendship.
You have nothing to lose, except for that extra weight, of course.

A Nutritionist Weighs in...
Weight loss is possible using L.A. Weight Loss guidelines, but be aware that the counselors at the L.A. Weight Loss centers are not registered dietitians or licensed nutritionists. It is also worrisome that participants of the program can receive conflicting information from the various counselors they see each week, and that dieters are able to set their own unrealistic weight goals.
Furthermore, a 1,100 calorie diet is not the safest way to lose weight, as it has too few calories to provide balanced nutrition with a sufficient intake of necessary vitamins and minerals. The two supplements recommended are not FDA approved and could be dangerous to your health.
One-on-one counseling and you too can lose weight
Since the L.A. Weight Loss program is individualized, there is flexibility in planning your meals and snacks, based on your schedule and needs. The program also allows most foods, though keeping the correct number of exchanges assigned to each meal can get tricky. Traveling is doable, as long as you bring a full supply of L.A. Lites. And while your family could eat the same meals as you, remember the plan is very personalized, so they may want more than one starch exchange at a meal!
