Newbies To The Lawl Area - Please Read Before Posting!
 

Hi everyone, and welcome to the LAWL section of the 3FC community!

This is a friendly reminder to please read through some of the threads before posting a topic or question for discussion-because the LAWL is a busy little section, and most likely your question has already been answered if you take the time to read a bit.

This keeps the area easier to navigate with not having multiple threads on the same topic or question, and the older members don't have to constantly answer the same 3 or 4 questions over and over.

If you have any concerns or needs, feel free to let me know.

Welcome again,

Lea Ann posted this some time ago. Most of us do that do the Slimfast Optima also add a RF string cheese to make the protein counts a little more equal-

I did look on the Slimfast site for the shake breakdowns:

Low Carb / Optima / High Protein/ LA Slimdown/Atkins Advantage
Cal 190 / 190/ 190/ 270/ 170
Fat 9 / 6 / 5/ 5/ 9

Carbs 6 / 5 / 24/ 36/ 5
Sugars 1 / 18 / 13/ 32/ 1
Protein 20 / 10 / 15/ 20/ 18

Someone posted this a while back. Sorry, I forgot who did or I would give you credit-

Here's a plateau breaker suggested by my COD-

Proteins - lean options such as chicken, fish and veal
Starches - high fiber/low cal, lite whole grain bread (35-45 cal/slice)
Fruits - high fiber - strawberries, raspberries (I used frozen) and apples
Vegetables - high fiber - broccoli and spinach
LA Lites: 1 drink and 1 bar instead of two bars a day.
H2O - up to 10-12 glasses
No fast food, frozen food or restaurant foods

In addition, I suggest hot lemon water first thing in the morning
and adding lemon juice to your water.

I also try to use protein instead of cereal for my breakfast to get my metabolism going early in the day. Try skim ricotta cheese slightly warm with cinnamon. It is yummy. You can add fruit if you like.

Pearl posted this a few days ago and I thought it would be helpful to add it under the Take Off instructions here!

The recipe that I have has been posted in the newbie pages. It is a much much cheaper substitute for the LA Take Off juice which is $26/bottle. The bottle lasts 2 days. This recipe calls for Two bottles of Knudsen's Breakfast Blend juice (1 for each day). You mix 26 oz of juice, 6 oz of water, and 8 tsp of Benefiber or Fiber Sure. I paid about $3.50 for each bottle, so that is a total of $7.00 instead of $26.00 for the juice.

I am on the LA Express Diet, but mine is just the name for a special that they were running for $249 that they called LA Express, and it is just the weight loss portion of their program without the stabilization or maintenance. I have unlimited weeks to lose the weight. That is when the centers were using color coded plans, I am on the Red Plan. Now some of the centers have switched from color coded plans to a newer plan, and they are numbered. The first 4 weeks is the express plan which restricts the kind of protein and starch you are allowed. No beef and some other changes (they are on the thread somewhere) but then you get them back. think that is just to get your body burning calories and fat better. As I said, I am still on the color plan. I started about 1 month ago and have lost 17 pounds with about 80 to go.

Good luck, hope this helps.

Here is the page from the plan I have for calculating which plan you should be on depending on weight you need to lose and your age, activity level.
Healthy Females 28-65 years old:
ideal weight + 10 = green
Ideal weight + 25 = gold
Ideal weight + 60 = purple
Ideal weight + 80 = Red
Ideal weight + 100 = Red1

For Men - 18 years and older
Ideal weight + 70 Purple or red
Ideal weight + 100 = red
Do NOT drop below the purple plan

Activity greater than 5 hours a week, Male and Female
Ideal weight + 100 = Red
Ideal weight + 150 = Red1
Do NOT drop below the red plan.

Sorry, ran out of space in in the above post. If anyone needs the breakdown for the cardiac male and female, shift worker, male and female, senior female, just email me and i will post them too. This was from a couple of years ago and I am not sure if they changed any of these guidelines.

Slim Down Alternative
 

I have used a protein powder called WELLEMENTS PRO RATED
800-255-2690 or wellements.com
I like both flavors (chocolate and vanilla - my picky Mom and sister do too). It's lower in sodium and is protein packed compared with others I have seen, but is not pre-packaged in single serving sizes as it comes in a 6 pound bag.

Nutrition information of the Wellements Pro Rated:
Cal 135
Fat 1 gram
Sodium 52 mg
Carbs 4 grams
Sugars 2 grams
Protein 27 grams

Alternate Bar analysis
 

This was an analysis i did on some bars, we use the detour and we eat only half of a bar in the morning and half in the afternoon. The detour bars are only $1 apiece at costco.

LA Lite half detour Detour Luna
Calories 170 90 180 190

Sugars 17 6 12 11
protein 8 7.5 15 9

calcium 2% 4% 8% 35%
Iron 4% 3% 6% 35%

Is there a plan with liquids only?

I could not find the Knudsen juice at my local trader joe's so instead I bought the trader joes Dynamo Plus calcium juice....it tastes just like the LAWL take off juice did and it looks to be around the same amount of calorie intake as the TO juice was....has anyone tried this before?

Thanks!
