A Week On LighterLife DAY 1

[@Yamp44]

Almost 90 pounds for this little food feels quite expensive. I must admit I am highly skeptical of this diet. I don't doubt you'll lose weight, and probably quite a bit, but if you do it by starving yourself, as soon as you'll be off the diet, you'll get it right back on. And losing to much weight too fast isn't healthy, despite what a lot of companies/medias/"health" professional will have you think. I know a lot of people like to see you suffer, I'm more here for curiosity's sake. I wanna see what the next meal holds, and want to know if you enjoy it. I hope you don't feel too miserable by the end of this.

[@Dyonvdm]

Calorie deficit = loss weight its not actually rocket science.

[@stevenham1937]

That’s the point of most of these diets. They teach you nothing about sensible eating and life style change but they do make you lose weight. Then when you gain it all back and usually more on top you end up back doing it again as it works. It’s the perfect pyramid scheme.

[@tylerrose4416]

If you think about it, a weeks worth of food is probably around 14,000 calories depending on the person, so the advertised

[@distortedclarity23]

I've been on a vlcd diet for nearly 3 months now, not Lighter Life but something similar. What happens is that during the first week a few pounds of water weight comes off, this will go back on when you finish the diet, but then your body goes into ketosis after about 3 days if the carbs are low enough and with ketosis your hunger is drastically reduced, so you don't feel starving at all and your body adapts to burning fat over sugar. My stomach is comfortable 90% of the time i'd say. You can indeed keep the weight off as long as you figure out your maintenance calories after. Obviously people that go back to eating exactly as they were before will put it back on, would be the same with any other short term diet too. I've found that the diet has completely cleared up my IBS and acid reflux, which bothered me every day, so i'm quite enjoying myself so far.

[@esmeecampbell7396]

@@distortedclarity23 that's it really. Simple maths, calories in needs to be less than calories out, if it is healthy for people to lose weight then they should. If someone says "but muh low metabolism" then that's fine, that means you need to eat less, as slow metabolism people won't get as hungry as quickly as high metabolism people. Also the range between the lowest low metabolism people and the highest high metabolism people are only around 500 calories, so there's no excuse for them to be eating 2500 calories per day and then blaming a slow metabolism.

I really can't bring myself to pay extra for less calories, my brain instantly starts yelling "no deal!"

I love love love a week on. Please don’t stop anytime soon.

[@susangerwien1290]

At the moment I’m doing keto and have lost 16 ponds. After seeing what you have eaten I’ll stick with what I’m eating. Ie, fruits veggies and protein of some kind.

[@EmmaJones925]

With the way things are going at the moment maybe Mike Should do a week on Asda Essentials

[@SquidgyPixel]

Hear hear. And perhaps on the other side of the spectrum... ASDA Extra Special to see how expensive its really gotten?

He has done that s few years ago. It's the same products just different packaging

[@thomraider9193]

I'd be way more interested in seeing how successful the steps after this first starvation period of the diet are. Obviously, a grown man taking in less than 1000 kcal/day will lose weight very quickly, but that's not sustainable

[@Alex861697]

Most of it would be in waters and muscle tissues

It's nice to see Mike and Basil in the garden!

Always a joy to see Basil 😻🐈‍⬛

[@cringycook9597]

As a home cook and baker I find this 7 day plan and price way below the benefits you could actually get for that amount of money

[@Alex861697]

It’s a rip off

[@user-ob9tk1co8p]

Do you have a binge eat after your challenges? Genuinely curious as a struggling myself

[@jjsfilmcorner7619]

A week on greggs?

[@kerrymoulton6724]

I could be wrong but I think the stock drink is because on such a restricted diet you will lack salt. Whilst too much is terrible for you, having non in your diet is a very bad idea, will make you feel terrible

[@needtlc]

Going to be a grumpy week 😀 I had to change my diet due to type2 diabetes. I use the keto method but that's crazy 600+ on first day would never recommend. Your find after 2 weeks your body starts to adapt. Looking forward to seeing the fatigue, headaches, mood swings, lol should get some feedback on how the wife had to put up with you 🤣🤣

[@ellem2293]

Was sooo happy to see you had a new vid up :D

[@jpgoat5488]

Yah new mike with a week on!! 🙂 cant watch now but when I can... Love you content dude

[@dimitrimichaux461]

I did one of those diets before, it's awful. It started out ok, but after a couple of days you start to feel very tired. Once you get over that you start to feel good and you lose a lot of weight. A couple of weeks later the food gets really boring despite being allowed to eat an unlimited amount of certain vegetables. Once I stopped the diet a regained all weight. I would not recommend that diet, doing it for one week is too short to get the full effect anyway. Can you do a month on intuitive eating? It made me get to a good weight that I feel happy with.

[@Alex861697]

Yea you are right

[@scottmcculloch6480]

I took loads of amphetamine when I wanted to lose weight. I also won employee of the month.

[@Alex861697]

What else did you win champ?

[@fisherinfocus]

Wow I can't believe they sell this. That's dangerously low and unsustainable calorie intake. No stomach will ever shrink to that, and my mind would just want to binge after

[@lewke1059]

military diet is more calories this and it's absolutely considered miserable as shit (only meant to last 3-4 days), this isn't a diet it's idiocy fasting is easier than this

[@BluffMunkey]

It's not 'dangerously low' unless it becomes a long term lifestyle. As a short term diet, your body is perfectly capable of not eating a things for days on end. Stop listening to the idiot blood sugar police.

[@01ddunn]

Should do the Asda yellow smart price when it's getting so popular at the moment.

90 is a HUGE ripoff for some dehydrated food packs (worth about .25c each) and concentrated broth worth even less. There might be $10 worth of food in the whole box - and no this isn't premium special formulas or anything he shows the ingredients on some of it and it's shitty dollar store stuff. Lol

A week on packaged noodles or no package foods or eating out. Or week on Chinese food.

[@debraphillips1066]

Can't you add vegetables of some sort to add bulk?

[@Ste]

Losing 'a stone a week' means losing loads of water weight. Most of it will go straight back on. Losing weight that quickly also leads to a much greater risk of losing muscle mass, which isn't a good thing for body composition.

Think the implication is that he kept it off. Im guessing he continued with keto

A work colleague tried this and she lost so much weight BUT the second she went back to eating proper meals, the weight piled back on. Expensive and honestly, not sustainable by what I've seen...

If u go back to ur old way of eating u will but the weight back on .. u have to stick to ur calorie in take to maintain the weight loss…I have been on and off this for years and it works a 100% if done properly..

It's so funny to me these kind of "diet" boxes... Trying to get you fit but it's overpackaged protein powders and noodles looolllllll. First of the breakfast is one of the most unesessary meal of the day instead of what every "dietician" would say. My diet : Morning one lemon juice in hot water with some spirulina powder. Nothing until lunch (no snack, thank you I'm not 8 anymore...) A big lunch filled with fresh vegetables maybe rice or pasta, and in the evening if I reallly want to some houmous or healthy little things or maybe dark chocolate. Easy peasy. 9 years vegan and love to cook and these kinds of over packaged junks make me feel bad seriously !!!

Yo know, I don't have anything against people using diet to loose weight - as long as they're properly informet what they're doing. So bullshit like 'calorie deficient' to try and clean up what's a basic age-old starvation diet kinda pisses me off. Not to mention adding keto - a MEDICAL DIET that was invented to manage seizure trough how it affect neurological functions of the brain - is really sketchy. And it's so freacking dangerous to make a diet that's nothing more than just-add-water meals and candy - for somone who just kinda needs it for a week, sure, it won't leave any lasting bad habbits, bur people who truly need it? Who won't be fine with just a week or two? Those alreadyv vunerable poeple with existing eating disorders will just have to suffer trough unlearning horrid habbits even if this diet works for them! I'm very happy for your friend. But companies should really call thing by their name and stop trying to trick people into very serious and potentially harmful diets just for get a few more bucks.
