I'm looking to loose a few pounds after the junk i've been eating the last few weeks. Just seen this advertised on tv, has anyone tried it?

  • It looks a bit like the Cambridge diet, but it seems more expensive, could it be made in the same factory, as Lighter Life is, maybe someone will come along with some information

    I think it's totally different to lighter life, I wouldn't even attempt that diet for 500 cals a day, it's absurd!

    from what I've researched, celebrity slim is made by a pharmaceutical company in Austrailia and just come over to this country. saw it in my local chemist and it looks really good and think the price is reasonable, compared to a diet such as lighter life. I've been on the austrailian website and the forum is really possitive. It's not a fad diet, it's a meal replacement and it's not about starving yourself, which is so important.

    Think I might give it a go Monday, will let you kow how I got on....

    Hi

    First off I will state that I have no personal gain from this brand selling well, I work (in a low position) for the Pharmacy it is exclusive to, but I am about to go on maternity leave (check out sig) and most likely won't be returning!!! So I am not trying to promote this product.

    BUT i saw this post and thought I might share some knowledge about the product.

    A lady who works at our head office has been trialling this for us prior to it's release, and has lost 7stone on it, she says she doesn't feel hungry or lethargic on it, as you are allowed several snacks throughout the day.

    We have had several customers who have bought it and returned after the first week with varying losses of between 3lb-9lb all have then gone on to lose the second week in the region of 2lb-5lb and in the third week the losses were pretty much the same as the second.

    It seems, it does work.....I haven't 'yet' heard any bad reviews on it, however I still have 2wks left in work so if I hear anything negative I will come back and report to you..

    Good Luck if you do decide to try it.

    Mel x

    I was doing some googling on celebrity slim, and the reviews on this site were what persuaded me to purchase a some http://www.productreview.com.au/showitem.php?item_id=48944 If I can lose 6-7 pounds from this (combined with some exercise) I'll be happy :beer: Their 7 day meal replacement shakes pack work out to be £1.79 per meal, which is pretty good imo.

    The only reputable online retailer I could find that stocked this is rolandspharmacy.co.uk, but they whack on a £3.95 special delivery charge unless you spend £75 or more ><

    Correct me if I'm wrong but Rowlands Pharmacy are the only company selling it in the UK (apart from ireland) it's an exclusive product to them.
    Have you got a store near you?

    I've looked at them in the shops and the packaging is quite big so if you were to buy a few the p&p is quite reasonable IMO.

    A friend of mine got a free sachet and loved the choc shake. There's a voucher in Take a Break for a free shake (redeem instore) so you can taste before you buy. Going to buy the mag tomorrow while I'm in town and have a taster and then buy the starter pack if it's nice...... ;)

    Started this diet on Sunday and have lost 2 pounds so far. Dont feel very hungry but want a cooked meal by evening. I have been snacking on veg and fruit and limiting my coffee and diet drinks. It has not been very hard to follow and the drinks are delicious. I also really like the soups. I have only tried the chicken and the beef flavours but they are very tasty. I also suffer a bit from IBS so quite often I cannot eat the packet soups, I can however eat the Celebrity Slim soups with no ill effects. I would continue to buy the soups even if I stopped the diet purely for this reason. I am hoping to lose a stone or so on this diet so holds thumbs for me! :j
  • saw the advert on tv too, have just ordered some- quite expensive but hopefully worth it!!
    tried the lighter life one last year and i was really ill with it- collapsed etc etc, so was really quite warey of this one-at least you can have 1 meal though!! the other comments helped me to make up my mind. i had a little boy in march last year and put on about 5 stone when pregnant- hopefully lose about 6 stone with this. all sounds good so far what iv heard anyway- il let you know!! ill be starting it next week so, fingers and toes etc crossed please!!xx
  • :o Does anyone know if this diet is suitable for vegetarians at all?

    Thank you
