Plans without the lties

Hey Raz,
I'm starting over(again). I'm trying to get as much off as possible before my vacation in 4 weeks. Is it best to start with the unlimited protein/veggies with 4 oranges or the 6 oz. protein, 1 serving of green veggies and oranges. I'm desperate because I don't want to have to buy new shorts for vaca.
thanks!

sandy1,

Do the unlimited protein, unlimited green vegetables, and 4 oranges. Don't forget your 64 ounces of water!

Hi Raz,

I wanted to take a few minutes out to say thank you! I speak for myself and the hundreds or maybe even thousands of people you have helped along the way with the fight to weight loss. What the enemy meant for evil, God has used for our good! There were so many people (including myself) who thought they had hit a dead end road, but thanks be to God who has given us an angel. God sees and knows all and I pray that He will enlarge your territory! I pray that He will open up a window and pour you out a blessing that you will not have room to receive. It is a blessing to know that God still has people He can trust. Even though the centers have closed, you provide the same level of care as if we were face to face. You take time out of your schedule to help us and we are ever so greatful. Just know you are appreciated. May God continue bless you and keep you in His loving arms!

First Lady Durr,

Your welcome and thank you for the kind words of praise.

Okay, so I just joined LA a few days ago. I'm on day 2 of the cleanse and will be getting my menu plan tonight. I dont' want to do the bars at all because they are so much $ and I can't afford it right now, plus I don't see how eating two basically chocoalte bars a day is going to teach me anything. I want to learn strickly on food alone. Do you have any idea what plan they might put me on. I'm 5'2 and 177 pounds.

Does LA weight loss allow you to have Sugar free candy and Sugar free chocolate?

I have been reading posts here, and am wondering where there are LAWL centers. Here in the Chicago area, LAWL changed to Pure Weight Loss and then closed. I would love to get back on track as the program worked for me in the past. Are there any centers in this area?

Alice,

From what I know there are parts of the country that have franchise centers still. The corporate centers (where you are) closed because the corporate division went bankrupt. I formerly worked for a corporate center and have been helping people here. If you want my help I need to know your height, weight, how much you workout and whether you work long hours or not.

Pbear Bear,

You can have 3 pieces of sugar free candy (hard) each day. For chocolate fixes you can use the lite chocolate syrup and the fat free chocolate cool whip. The last 2 are considered condiments.

Pbear Bear,

If that center is using the color plans I would venture a guess at the purple plan if you're not going to do the bars.

Thanks for the quick response. I am 5'10", wt 200, walk 30-45 min/day. I work regular hours ( I teach) and was on the gold plan. Since there are no centers here, I no longer have lites or juice. I am currently on high blood pressure meds. I use no salt and cannot use the morton lite salt. I am also a cancer survivor and have lymphodema. Lots of problems, but I want to get back on track with the program. It works. AND- thank you for being here. You are an angel!

Alice,

Thaks for the detail in your response...it really helps me make decisions. Change to the purple plan since you don't have lites. The purple plan's protein portions are 2 ounces bigger than gold and purple has an additional vegetable. Otherwise you can you the figures in your gold book.

Good Morning Raz, Thank you for the info. I greatly appreciate your help. Hopefully, I will stick to the plan-knowing that I need to be accountable to someone. Thanks for being here!

Raz, Thanks for your help! Those are good ways to get chocolate fixes for sure!
They put my on Menu Plan 3 which consits of 3 Proteins, 4 Vegtables, 3 Fruits, 4 Starches, 2 Dairy and 2 Fat, but I honestly think it's too much food... Should I tell them that?

Pbear,

Without knowing all of the portion sizes I can't answer that question. I never dealt with the numbered plans. I can tell you that weight loss is a delicate balance. If they give you too much obviously you won't lose but believe it or not if they don't give you enough not only will you not lose you may gain. Try listening and see what happens after a week.

hi raz this is anointedone, how are you well i,m at a stand still not losing anything i am stuck on the same weight sooo what am i to do need help please send me something to do i would be so greatful
god bless

anointedone

anointedone,

Are you weighing and measuring portions? How about variety are you getting it? Also, are you keeping a food diary and are you getting all servings? Also remind me what plan I have you on and what your height as well as current weight are so I can see if maybe your program needs a change...also have you changed amount of working out or work? Also...are you using some type of protein bar at this time?

hi raz this is anointedone, no i have not kept a diary and i weight 153 and my height is 5'4 and i am weighing and measuring my food i donot use bars and i am on the red plus plan also i need a change on some of my food can you help me out with that i need help don't want to stay at a stand still seem like i am not going no where need helpppp

god bless
anointedone

anointedone,

Move to red. I apologize. I missed your drop point. Make the switch and the losing should resume.

2 1/2 protein (same sizes as red plus)
4 vegetables
3 fruit
3 starch
1 dairy
1 fat

hi raz
this is anointedone,
thank you for your answer maybe that is the reason i am at a stand still so do i do the red plan without bars because i donot have no bars also do i do the take off or the fastfoward to jump start my new plan or do i just do the red plan please help me do the right thing i would be greatful

god bless

anointedone

anointedone,

Just jump into the red plan without the bars. You don't want to do the Fast Forward too often.

hi raz

thank you for getting back so soon as always you are prompt
and i am blessed to have you thanks once again i will be hungry on the jump start i am use to eating food so can i do the fastforward since it has been a while and then do the red plan one question what about the blue plan is it not the plan after the red plan just asking you know what to do i know you know how to help and i am greatful thanks

god bless
anointedone

anointedone,

The blue plan is actually less food than the red...the blue plan can only be done with the lites. When you reach your next drop point you will go onto the purple plan.

Yes you can do the Fast Forward if it's been at least a month. If it's been less than a month just go onto the red plan.

hi raz, once again i say thank you for all your help i can't thank you enough for all the time you spend for us well i am on my way of being a diva (smile) once again i say thank you

god bless

I want to do LAWL again- it's been 3 years. I'm 5'6" 240 pounds. Not very active and work a regular schedule. I do run after a busy 2 year old, which is why I've got to get healthy again. After doing the take-off (greens and unlimited protein), I went to the purple w/ lites, then gold w/ lites 2 weeks later. I do NOT want to do the lites again- I don't like them (I'm not a sweet eater) and want to eat whole foods when making healthy choices. What "plan" do I use w/ using NO LITES? I'm very appreciative!

Elizabeth,

Use the Red no lite plan.

2 1/2 Protien (same sizes as purple)
4 vegetables
3 fruit
3 starch
1 dairy
1 fat

Drop to the purple no lite plan at 225. There will not be any more drops after purple.

Raz- thanks for your help. I will start the red w/no lites you listed. What is the purple w/ no lites plan? Thanks! elizabeth

Purple=

2 protein
4 vegetable
3 fruit
2 starch
1 dairy
1 fat

Raz- I appreciate your quick and helpful response. Since I have a great sounding board (you), please tell me the rationale for eating the limited starches and proteins vs. eating any starch or protein any day while staying within the quantities on each plan. Also, why is there only one dairy choice? I'm surprised since so many woman are at risk for osteoporosis...I am eager to hear your thoughts. Thanks! eliz

Raz- one more question...I was looking at your recommendation re. the purple no lites plan and how it differs from the purple w/ lites plan. If moving from the purple w/lites to purple no lites, should I not have a few extra carbs/proteins to make up for those calories not eaten in the lites during a day? Thanks, eliz

Hi Guys,

i'm not sure if anyone posted that before but , today i went to BIG LOTS and i saw they are selling take off juice for $3, yes $3, and the pack off vanilla and chocolate meal replacement drink for also $3. i have to buy some since i just started over on monday with the orange.

all the stuff they are selling or from LA weight loss. i was so chock and happy, go get yours now. i Went to the BIG LOTS on commercial in Tamarac florida.

Hi Maggy!

Thanks for the news! I just ran to my Big Lots in Austin, TX and they had plenty of them! I grabbed 6 boxes of the chocolate meal replacements. Can't beat $3 for a 4-pack!

Thanks again!
Thomas

Elizabeth,

The point where I told you to go to the purple without lites you would not have been on purple if you were using lites. If you were using the lites you would be on gold at that point. Gold has one less vegetable and the protein sizes are smaller. Since you're not using the lites I'm making up for this by giving you the purple plan.

Elizabeth,

In regards to your questions about why the different choices are limited the way they are I truly do not know. I am not a dietician I am simply someone who was trained to figure out which plan different people belong on. That being said, it is next to impossible to eat in a manner to lose and also get all of your required supplements so I recommend taking daily vitamins. These vitamins should include C, B complex, the essential fatty acids, and calcium with vitamin D

Raz,
if doing purple no lites, how many starches? 180lbs 5'5"
thanks

Isn't this the same as with lites?? Sorry, lost the paper I had it written on!

Sandy1,

Purple no lites is as follows:

2 protein
4 vegetables
3 fruit
2 starch
1 dairy
1 fat

It is the same as with lites except for the lites themselves. The difference is when you would be on purple. The drop is different without the lites. And, without the lites there are not any more drops after purple.

I was a client of LA/Pureweigtloss until Jan when the cosed their doors. Like most I tried to maintain the plan, however without supplments and lites it was hard. I have lost over 65 lbs with this program, however I was gaining it back.. (found the supplements, and other products I used which helped me get back on track... However I the plan i was on when I stopped was purple and now I beleive I am back at a red.. Is it okay for me to go back to the red, until I reach the weight needed to go back onto the purple?

Lus_ci_ouss,

I need to know your height and current weight and whether you are using lites or a replacement to answer this question accurately.

Some of us are tired of being mad, so we decided to get even.
We started a website called DEAR VAHAN: where anyone can write a message or a letter to Pure Weight Loss CEO Vahan Karian and post it. When we have enough, we are going to print them out and personally deliver them to him in a creative way that will be featured on the site. Add your comment or read them so far here:
weightloss.franbest.com
There's also good information and LA Weight Loss rumors at:

I may never see my money, but I'll make sure he knows whose money he's spending!

I'm 5'4 3/4th and now 226 1/4 lbs... sad, I know.

do you know if this all Big Lots???

Airlineprincess,

I don't know if it's all BigLots but I would caution you. That stuff does expire but the codes are not that easy to read. If the code says 26507 that means it was made on the 265th day of 2007. It's good for 6 months from the bottled date.

Lus_ci_ouss,

Are you using either lites or a replacement? If so, red plan. If not, red plus. Let me know and I'll give you the exact servings

hi raz this is anointedone,
i fell of and stop doing my diet and i feel so bad i am going through alot and i dealing with it daily so i need to get of my pity pot and get focused on what i need to do so instead of losing i am gaining weight i also have my period and that's could be where some of my gain is comming from but never the less i still gained and i need help to get back on track i weight 259 now and i am 5'3 in height so if you can can you please help me to stay focused i am willing to do this i would be greatful i don't want to be big helpppp

god bless

I have lites... Okay I will do the red plan.. I started take off yesterday so I will do it starting tomorrow.... 2 1/2 portin, 4 veggies, 3 starches, 3 fruit, 1 dairy,1 fat, 64 oz of water, 2 lites 1 tb morton salt.... right?

anointedone123 ,

Do a fast forward then go back onto red if doing lites, red plus if not. Don't worry! You can do this! We all fall off sometimes...success only means coming back until you get to the goal!

Lus_ci_ouss,

You have it right and it sounds like you're off to a great start! Let me know if you need any help.

hi raz this is anointedone,
thank you for all of your support and may god bless you always i will keep in touch once again thank you
god bless
anointedone
