[Bidwell Accounts]

Hello All,

I was wondering if anyone has any experience in dealing with LighterLife.

I don't mean in using there products.

I'm not hearing good things about how well the company are doing currently.

That's a very unprofessional post from a so-called 'professional'. What exactly have you heard, and what can you find out for yourself without posting on an open forum, looking for dirt/scandal.

I have no connection to FattyLife, but I do find your posting a little odd, maybe you could share your concerns?

Not meant to be unprofessional.

I have a keen interested in Lighterlife and people seem to be spreading rumours about how they are doing financially.

I was wondering if anyone else had heard anything.

There latest set of accounts dont show to much.

I don't have a full subscription to Company Check, but just from the free info on their site http://companycheck.co.uk/company/03164308/LIGHTERLIFE-UK-LIMITED/financial-accounts
I would suggest that the trends tell a story.
2008 Cash at bank - £11m
2011 Cash at bank - £1.7m

2008 Total current assets - £15.8m
2011 Total current assets - £5.3m

I'd imagine that sales peaked in 2007/08, just before the recession. How they have re-structured in the last few years would be critical to how they are surviving/thriving at this point in time.

3 lightellife franchises local to me have gone pop in the last year and no one has taken up the slack.

Unfortunately that is what I am hearing.

Most are struggling and a fair few are going under.

It's a shame cause the diet it's self is stunning, I lost 4 1/2 stone in 11 weeks on it last year

Don't tell me they have this ingenious plan that involves expending more calories than you consume?????

Yes same as every diet.

It's also a keto diet, works extremely well, for me anyway.

Yep most of them are, and they are effective and everyone bashed atkins (although I know there were unhealthy elements to his diet)

I was always a little suspicious of this plan. You pay a heck of a lot of money (something like £75 a few years back) to have food packs that were supposed to give you everything you needed for a week's food.

I can't see how they came up with that figure, my wife and I don't spend anywhere near that amount for the two of us on the weekly food shop, and we go to Waitrose!

I think it's like a lot of these plans (diet and otherwise) they have a very bright, but short, life. Appearing on the scene, they gain a lot of popularity quickly, then disappear after a few years (but not before the founders have become rich).

I think the only weight loss business I've seen last any real length of time is Herbalife, and Weightwatchers of course.

Speaking of which, "diet du jour" is back to Herbalife.
