Has anyone ever tried the LA Weight Loss Centers? They show a low weekly rate, but what are the extra costs?

I heard they "push" their supplements. How much are those and what are they about?

    I've tried it. The $7 weekly (or whatever they advertise) is not all the expense you'll occur. That's the good part. The part that will be very expensive is when you buy your food products each week/month from them. This will certainly run you into the hundreds of dollars. Also, they do have a plan where you can go out and buy your "own food", but this takes a lot of guesswork and creativity on your part each meal on how much to eat (calorie-wise, fat-wise, carbo-wise, etc.), portion to eat (in conjunction with the above-mentioned "wises"), creativity as far as not having to have the same old meals each day, etc). The only good thing about buying their foods is that each one is already proportioned as to the amount you will have each meal, so you won't have to count calories, carbs, or anything else; but doing so costs you dearly.

    Plus, having a membership for a year (which most people do that want to lose more than 10 pounds because in the long-run it's cheaper) will cost $100-150 +. The membership includes all follow-up nutritional visits you may have during this time frame, including weigh-ins, consultations, etc.

    They do have supplements, but you do have a choice to buy them or not...the place I went to did not "push" the supplements on me....they told me I could buy them (expensive) or I could just wait and see how the initial plan was coming along before deciding to do so.

    So, you see, that $7 advertisement that have on television is JUST THE BEGINNING. Get your checkbook out and ready!

    I've lost 5 kilos in my first week. It's my 10th day and I have included salad with some protein (eg. egg/ lean chicken) as you suggested. After 4 years of trying, the fat is finally coming off. It truly feels like magic!

    Gastric Bypass Surgery /gastrectomy/stomach stapling /lapband (all types of weight loss surgery) is very safe nowadays.It is very cheap in India.There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges obesity surgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.

    I have also read that they arrange financing for american and canadian patients as obesity surgery is not covered by insurance.They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.The cost savings are incredible.As a doctor i personally believe that your lobesity surgery can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

    My cousin got her obesity surgery after delivery in India through the forerunners healthcare .She is more than very happy with the results.She has lost 65lbs in 5 months.She just paid 25% of the amount she was quoted in USA and is all praise for this forerunners healthcare company.hope this helps
