LA Weight Loss Reviews and Program Overview
Use these LA Weight Loss reviews and program overview to better understand the LA Weight Loss program and whether or not it is the right choice for you.
How the LA Weight Loss Program Works The LA Weight Loss program is administered through the company’s network of LA Weight Loss centers. This program is based on reducing your caloric intake, one-on-one counseling with company counselors at one of their centers, and long-term behavior modification. Company counselors take a health history during the initial one-on-one counseling meeting. Clients then visit the center regularly to continue individual counseling. The goal is to learn better portion control and understand how to make healthier dietary choices for long-term weight loss and weight management. Your counselor at LA Weight Loss reviews your progress on the program and helps you make adjustments as necessary. The program includes three phases over a 12 month period – weight loss, stabilization, and maintenance. While the program is primarily based on regular grocery store food, the company counselors often aggressively push the company nutrition bars (LA Lites or Nu Lites), vitamins, and supplements, which can drive up the cost of the program significantly. Based on many customer reports, there can be substantial differences in quality between individual weight loss centers and counselors. Some customers report very little salesmanship or high-pressure sales tactics resulting in a generally positive experience with successful weight loss. Others, however, report considerable pressure to purchase additional company programs and products resulting in a very costly and negative experience. About the Company The LA Weight Loss company has come under scrutiny in recent years for questionable disclosure and advertising practices. They have also experienced considerable financial instability resulting in the closure of many LA Weight Loss centers and the renaming of other centers as Weight Loss Plus, Pure Weight Loss or Family Weight Loss.
Program Costs This program requires you to pay a per-week fee, which varies from center to center. The amount of these fees depends on which of several plans you choose from. Payment of these per-week fees is required up front for a full year. Additionally, you are required to pay a one time “set-up” fee. Unless you visit a center in person for a free consultation, they will not provide much detail about available programs or costs over the phone. It is difficult to know how much the program will cost until you meet in person with one of their counselors. However, customers report typical program costs of between $300 and $575 in up-front fees, which does not include any food costs. And some centers reportedly require you to purchase nutrition bars and other products from the company as part of your program.
Conclusion The cost of this program is generally reported to be quite high due to the required fees and 1 year contract. The 12-month period for the three-phase program seems artificial since not all people will take the same amount of time to achieve their weight loss goals. Given the relatively high cost of this program and the financial instability of the company in recent years, you should be very cautious of signing on for a year long commitment with LA Weight Loss.
