A friend in UK has just told me about a weight loss plan her pal is doing well on called lighter life. Basically it is a very low calorie diet (550 calories a day). The idea is you pay a small fortune a week for two hours counselling and a pack of meal replacements. The notion being that if you are more than 3 stone overweight you are probably a food addict and so need to break the addiction before re-educating yourself. By having substitutes for meals provided, you no longer have to think about food. Hmm, I’m not sure that would work but I daresay the weight loss is phenomenal if you stick to it.

It’s not available in Oz as yet anyway but I am always two days away from starting a diet so I like to consider my options .… the idea of which allows me to eat what I like in the meantime.
By the way I was astounded to see in the supermarket today the leftover xmas chocolates being sold at half price next to the first Easter eggs of the season!
