Hi Jeffin! Welcome!
I did the program without the LA Lites...
They should put you on Red when you tell them that you don't want to do lites. They changed me to purple when I reached 184lbs. Purple has larger protien portion sizes to compensate for the protien not provided by the LA Lites. They can modify your plan to your individual needs.
If you don't do the lites, your refund is invalid. So if you purchased a year of maintenance in the hopes of receiving half your money back in the end, you will forfiet this if you don't do lites. So remember that when making your final decision. I didn't purchase but 6 maintenance weeks; therefore, I wasn't eligible for the refund anyway so I didn't care
LAWL's program can be successful with or without lites, supplements, or any of their snacks. I don't buy any of it. I did buy a few products in the begining; but I learned quickly that I wasn't going to break the bank on these products. I didn't use the CareCredit either. I paid up front in cash and paid for anything I needed as I went along.
