If you know anything about LA Weight Loss, then you may know that it is
one of the biggest weight loss centers in the world. With approximately
900 locations in 48 states, as well as in Europe, Canada, and South
America, this diet program is extremely popular all around the globe.
Let's take a look at why this is.
LA Weight Loss focuses on eating real foods from supermarkets,
restaurants and even fast foods. It concentrates on reducing calorie
intake by portion sizes, as opposed to, calorie counting. It allows you
to eat most any kind of food. Counselors gather your information, such
as, weight, height, exercise levels and medical history and formulate a
personal program to fit your lifestyle.
You are offered a variety of food choices, even those from your
favorite foods. They will provide you with a food and exercise program,
as well as, counseling support to encourage you on your way to your
desired weight. Sounds almost too good to be true, but the company
advertises weight losses of 2 to 3 pounds every week as part of its
success story.
How exactly does this program work? It is actually divided into three
phases, the weight loss stage, the stabilization period and the
maintenance period. The weight loss period is the time it will take for
you to reach your dream weight. You will be given meal plans based on
1100 to 1800 calorie intake each day. The diet will consist of 45%
carbohydrates, 35-40% protein and 15-20% fat. The meal plan will
consist of a healthy balance of real foods to bring you down a few
sizes.
Exercise is also very important during this phase. It is meant to bring
a gradual weight loss that won't harm your body. You will meet with a
counselor up to three times a week during this period. The next stage
is the stabilization period. This is usually six weeks long. During
this time you will meet twice a week with a counselor with weigh-ins
and reviews. The maintenance period consists of weekly counseling
sessions to help you maintain your weight loss.

The advantages of this
weight loss program are that they allow you to eat everyday foods and
make it possible to eat out. The key is portion controls and healthy
cooking. You don't have to count calories and individual sessions and
weigh-ins will maintain your privacy. Why wouldn't anyone want to be a
part of this? Well, there are some disadvantages. It is a really
expensive weight loss program. In addition, the counselors are usually
not dieticians, but former LA weight loss members who are paid
commissions on sales of LA supplements and snack bars. Consequentially,
there is a lot of pressure to buy these items. Costs of these
additional items are often hidden when initially signing up. Also, the
cost of the entire program is usually required to be paid in full at
the start up.
The LA Weight Loss program will allow the average person to lose weight
in a healthy, gradual manner. Be cautious however of any diet which
allows a calorie intake of less than 1200 calories per day. Health
professionals promote a diet of between 1200 and 1500 calories. This is
a safe diet plan that would be similar to that of a nutritionist. If
you have the money to invest in this weight loss program and you need
the individual attention to keep motivated, you probably will lose the
weight. Just be prepared for some heavy sales pitches and extra costs
associated with supplements.
