I am intolerant to gluten, can I still do the Ultra Lite Weight Loss Program. |
|
Absolutely, yes you can! The maltodextrose in our sachets is derived from corn, not wheat, so is therefore suitable for people who are sensitive to gluten. In addition to this many people on our program with certain allergies actually notice an improvement in their symptoms as their body is not overloaded with preservative laden or processed foods. We only recommend wholesome, healthy foods on our program. |

Can you lose muscle mass on the Ultra Lite Weight Loss Program? |
|
The weight loss and detox programs are designed to provide you with virtually all the necessary amounts of protein (based on recommendations from the World Health Organisation) carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, trace elements and essential fatty acids in correct balance. Therefore weight loss is fat, not muscle or fluid. |

Is it safe to lose weight quickly? |
|
Your metabolism will control the rate of your weight loss and will not let you lose more than what you can handle. |
 |
+ |
I have allergies; will I be able to take the sachets? |
|
Yes, you can. You will need to discuss your particular concerns with your consultant. |
 |
+ |
If I lose weight quickly will I just put it all back on? |
|
No. On Ultra Lite you are given the necessary tools/education that you require to maintain your weight for life. You are taught about food groups and portion sizes that the body actually requires. If you put weight back on it is because you have chosen not to follow the principles any longer. |
 |
+ |
Can I claim on my private health insurance? |
|
There are funds that you can claim with. Ask your consultant and/or your fund for further information. |
 |
+ |
Is this a high protein, low carb program? |

 |
+ |
What is in the sachets and do I really need to take them? |
|
The sachets contain vitamins, minerals and amino acids (protein). Each sachet is approximately equivalent to a glass of whole milk without the fat and lactose content. They are there to maintain blood sugar levels and alleviate cravings. |
 |
+ |
I have a family; will it be difficult to do this program? |
|
No! This program is very easy to manage if you cook for a family. You don't have to cook separate meals and your family will benefit from a healthier eating plan. |
 |
+ |
Will I be hungry? |
|
No. You should not be hungry if you follow the program correctly. |
 |
+ |
I have heard this program puts you in ketosis. Ist this dangerous? |
|
On the Ultra Lite program the body is placed into a state of dietary ketosis. This is a totally natural, totally safe and effective method of losing weight. When the body is in ketosis, you will not feel hungry. People often confuse dietary ketosis with another term "ketoacidosis" which is a life threatening condition for a diabetic. |
 |
+ |
I am diabetic. Is this safe for me? |
|
This program is completely safe for Type 1 or Type 2 diabetics. However, there are a few things that your consultant will advise you to do differently so you must discuss this with your consultant at the beginning of your program. |
 |
+ |
Is this a meal replacement program? |
|
No, it is not. Our eating plan involves foods from all five food groups and a nutritional supplement that is designed to provide a person with all of the vitamins and minerals that they need to help balance blood sugar levels. We DO NOT endorse the use of meal replacements. |
 |
+ |
I am on a lot of medication. Is this safe? |
|
Ultra Lite is a very safe program and a lot of our clients are on either prescription drugs, over the counter pills and/or "alternative" therapies. 99% of the time there will be no interaction, however, you must inform your consultant of all the medication you are taking and they can further advise you from here. |
 |
+ |
I am breastfeeding. Can I still do Ultra Lite? |
|
It is always best to speak to your consultant first before you start the program. Any change of diet may reduce the quality and/or quantity of your breast milk. However, if the baby is on solid foods already, then embarking on Ultra Lite will cause no ill effects to the baby. |
 |
+ |
What happens when I lose the weight? Is there a maintenance program? |
|
Absolutely! Once you have reached your goal weight the consultant should suggest to you the importance of a well balanced maintenance program. We suggest that this then becomes your lifelong eating plan for you to understand how to manage your weight for the rest of your life. To optimise your results, we recommend that you continue to take sachets for the first five weeks of your maintenance program. |
 |
+ |
I only need to lose a couple of kg. Is there a program for me? |
|
Yes, we have the 3 Week Detox and Weight Loss Program. This has been designed for people who only need to lose less than 5 kg. This involves a set menu for 3 weeks and is a great detox for the whole body. |
 |
+ |
Can I still have alcohol? |
|
No. Alcohol has a very high carbohydrate value and any intake at all will be detrimental to your weight loss results. |
 |
+ |
Can I still go out for dinner? |
|
Absolutely! You do not have to curtail your social calendar. There is always something to order from a restaurant that will not interfere with the Ultra Lite program. For example, steak/chicken/fish combined with vegetables or salad but be wary of dressings and sauces. Always ask for yours to be prepared without any. Definitely no potatoes or fries! |
 |
+ |
Will I have to exercise? |
|
Exercise is not compulsory on this program, you will still lose weight. However, as part of a "balanced" lifestyle change exercise is recommended and it will help for the weight loss to be quicker. |
 |
+ |
So how much does it cost? |
|
Unfortunately this is not a straightforward answer as we have many different programs available which all range in length and price. It is also dependant on how much weight you want to lose and how quickly. Generally the cost works out at about half the price of many other weight loss programs, but you lose the weight twice as quick. You usually save about $30 a week on your food bills and you may also be eligible to claim rebates through your private health fund and this can bring the cost down to less than $50 a week. In summary, our program provides one on one personal consultations which monitors your weight and health progress and provides invaluable motivation. Ultra Lite is an educational process providing you with the tools to lose weight for life. If you are serious about weight loss you would be best advised to seek out your closest practitioner on this website or contact us directly. |

+ |
Are ketogenic diets dangerous? |
|
On the Ultra Lite Weight Loss Program the body is placed into a state of dietary ketosis. This is not dangerous, it is a natural adjustment to the body's reduced intake of carbohydrates as the body shifts its primary source of energy from carbohydrates to stored fat. When the body is in ketosis, you will not feel hungry. People often confuse ketosis with another term called "ketoacidosis" which is a life threatening condition for diabetics. |
 |
+ |
Weight control for life, is it really possible? |
|
Yes it is! The Ultra Lite weight loss and detox program should always be thought of as two phases. Once you achieve your weight loss goal it is then recommended that you begin the Lifetime Maintenance Program (second phase). This is where you consolidate your knowledge of food values, portion size and re-introduce foods that were previously restricted. This provides you with the skills and knowledge for permanent weight control. Fast and easy weight loss for the long term! |
