Pros: The initial program fees are fair.
Cons: The Cost of products and ingredients!
The Bottom Line: The plan itself can work, but say no to the products! There are better plans - ediet is good. So it weight watchers if you do it correctly.

| surfergirl7's Full Review: L. A. Weight Loss |
I worked for LA Weight Loss for over 3 years and the plan it self does work. But you will lose faster if you do not use the LA lite bars ($14 - $16 a box-(7)- 2 boxes a week.) They will tell you can get them as low as $9.98, but you have to buy hundreds of boxes. . They are 24 grams of sugar in each bar and you have 2 bars a day. (sugar turns to fat, especially 50 grams a day of sugar)The total amount the bars will cost you will not be presented until the third visit (PSV).
The 2 day Take Off Juice(23.95) is exactly the same as the Hollywood diet drink (a lot less). (exactly!!) Almost all their products are over priced and have alot of ingredients in them that are not the best for you (Lots of sugar and fat). You can find bars almost the same if not better and healthier on your own, in the stores.
You do not know the huge package of lites cost for at least 5 days after paying for you program. e.g.: $400 - 600/program - $900-$1200 - "A" Package. You are made to feel that since you already invested for the program, buying the LA Lites in bulk is the smartest way to go.
This company is designed to be high pressure sales. Not all centers are. Beware!!
The program fee for the one on one counseling is fair. But beware of the products! You do not have to buy them to be successful on the plan. They will make it seem like it is mandatory, but it is not. Look on your agreement. They make their money off the bars! They can change you menu plan to make up for not using the bars. My clients that did not use the bars lost faster and more consistently, than the clients that were using the bars.
I left the company because I was tired of feeling guilty of making clients who wanted to lose weight, purchase over priced bars, that KEPT them from losing weight a lot of the times.
