lites--which are the worst?

  • From my contract (the very first line of it!)
    Required LA Lites
    On the LA Weight loss program, you will be required to purchase LA Lites. LA Lites cost $29.00 per week if purchased on a weekly basis. THe cost will be less if you purchase LA Lites in advance by bulk. Rates for bulk purchases vary depending on the size of your order. (Then here I had to initial.)
    Further on it says:
    "Products ordered in bulk and not picked up from the center within eighteen months of purchase will incur a one dollar per month per box storage charge"

    There is absolutely no mention whatsoever of receiving any reimbursement at the end or anything like that.
  • Coop - You could buy them and sell them on E-bay. You could just pick up the lites when you have a buyer so they can choose what kind they want and then you know they will be fresh. Just a thought. Probably very COD disapproved. But, just a thought nonetheless.
  • wow...........i am quite suprised. i am thinking if you ended up not being able to physically tolerate soy, you could get out of it.....but otherwise, I think you might be stuck. Cassi has a good idea though. LAWL might want to re-think this.........it may really deter a lot of new clients.
  • My center says the bars became a requirement for the program for those clients who signed up after December.
  • Yes, that's the wording on my contract, as well.

    I went in on Saturday (6 lbs down, w00t!) and told my counselor that I'd been getting headaches all week after eating the Lites bars. I figured it was peanut sensitivity, so I tried an experiment on Friday night be having a shake instead (figuring I'd be ok since they don't have peanuts in them). I woke up at 2am with a migraine.

    So, she immediately told me to stop doing the Lites b/c it sounded like I had a sensitivity to soy, as well.

    So, I'm out of purchasing the Lites and it was easier than I thought it would be. I do wonder if they'll give me a hard time when I see my regular counselor? I had to see another one - I actually liked her better, so I might just ask to see her from now on.
