The ketogenic advantage LighterLife’s Total VLCD is a ketogenic diet — one which limits carbohydrate intake as well as calories to turbocharge weight loss and deliver a wide range of benefits. To understand how it works, let’s start with

energy balance. When you eat more than you need, your body stores the excess as fat and you gain weight. When you eat less than you need, your body fills that energy gap by burning its energy stores. It preferentially takes energy from recently digested carbohydrates (glucose); when this is metabolised, it switches to its glycogen, a sugar-store in the liver and muscles; and when this is depleted, typically after three to four days of dieting, it shifts metabolic gear and turns to its main energy store, namely fat deposits. This is a normal, natural, adaptive process

and it’s how all diets work. However, there are some differences with a ketogenic VLCD. Firstly, because it’s so low in carbohydrates, fat stores are metabolised at a very high rate of around a stone a month, which is as fast as the weight loss resulting from gastric banding and far quicker than any ordinary, fully-nutritious dietary approach. Secondly, because the brain can’t metabolise
fat for fuel, some of that stored fat is processed by the liver into ketones, which become the brain’s main energy source. This is where the terms ‘ketosis’ and ‘ketogenic’ come from. This process also suppresses hunger and engenders a motivating state of well-being and energy, both of which make it physically easier to adhere to the diet.

The power of LighterLife’s VLCD The total VLCD plan is the group’s premium weight- loss regime. On it women can lose around a stone a month, and men around a stone and a half. This is done by replacing ordinary food with four tasty, fortified food packs each day, including soups, shakes, meals, porridge, bars and one-pot meals. These give you all
the nutrition you need
— at least 50g of both high-quality protein and carbohydrates, an average of 18g of healthy fats and 20g of fibre, and at least 100% of your daily requirements for key vitamins and minerals — in around 600 kcal, which studies confirm is impossible with ordinary food. The plan’s most effective when you partici-
pate in a group. Research shows that on average people lose three times more weight in a LighterLife group than when dieting alone. When you’ve reached your desired weight, you
reintroduce a full range of conventional food and create your own personalised plan for healthy balanced eating and living with expert guidance from the team’s management plan. The flexible LighterLife Fast intermittent fasting plan helps you maintain your healthy new weight.
Health benefits and type 2 diabetes Studies show ketogenic diets can reduce the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, and they are currently being inves- tigated as potential treatments for a range of conditions, and acne
from polycystic ovary syndrome to neurological disorders such as
Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and multiple scle- rosis. Furthermore, elite endurance athletes are increasingly swapping carb-loading for a ketogenic regime to improve their performance. It’s small wonder world-renowned low-carb expert Dr Jeff Volek of Ohio State University says ketones “could be considered the perfect fuel for dieters”. Perhaps the most exciting news came in
December 2017. This was when the DiRECT study, sponsored by Diabetes UK with its largest

ever research grant of £2.4m, showed that a ketogenic VLCD can reverse type 2 diabetes. This is generally regarded as a chronic, irrevers- ible disease manageable only by drugs. It came as no surprise to the LighterLife clients who, over the past 30 years, have been able to come off their type 2 diabetes medications as a result of losing weight on the LighterLife Total ketogenic VLCD. In the context of 3.2 million people in the UK
having type 2 diabetes and 700 more being diag- nosed every day, an estimated 1.1 million undi- agnosed cases and 11.9 million currently at risk — threatening to bankrupt the NHS with the cost of treatment — ketogenic VLCDs like LighterLife Total could revolutionise the healthcare system’s priorities and finances.
The LighterLife difference LighterLife has 30 years’ experience helping more than 400,000 people lose weight. So, if you’re fed up with losing small amounts
of weight, then putting it back on (and more), tired of beginning with high hopes, only to struggle and give up, bored with hearing ‘just eat less and move more’, and feeling that nobody understands… if you’re searching for something different, this is what LighterLife offers you:
• £ for lb it’s the best value, fastest and most effective VLCD programme for weight loss, so you’ll be making the best choice. You’ll lose around a stone a month*, so you’ll feel motivated straight away.

meaning you can discover your triggers for overeating and work out new strate- gies for dealing with them without sabo- taging yourself with food.
• The tastiest, highest quality food replace- ments, so you’ll have the nutrients you need to ensure your body works with you – rather than having to fight hunger all the time.
• Help to create the skills to manage your weight in the long term and find the key to your motivation, with a personalised support system that fits into your life and helps you change it for the better.
