Working in the IT-company, PR-specialists use almost all existing PR tools and techniques. That is why the PR in IT-sphere cannot be separated. Ideally, PR manager is involved in programs for reputation management in various projects of internal corporate PR, in planning sponsorship and participation in social projects. All this shows that the work carried out is not much different from that of PR manager at another company. However, some specific features in IT-PR are still there.
So what can offer PR to IT company?
Generally, all is needed is creation and strengthening of the company's image, the image of the head, establishing relationships with external audiences, intracorporate PR, and, finally, it is promoting of the product.
Typically, IT-PR does not set a goal of "wide promotion" of something to the general public. For example, if the IT-company develops software for accounting or bank, there is no point of disseminating information about it to a wide audience. All software is "written" according to a certain customer. And for customer it is interesting and important to know everything about the program you are developing, but it's not so for the rest.
Competent PR would make everything possible for potential customers and partners to apply to this company but not any other one: because there are competent professionals, pleasant to talk with staff, quickly done work, the essential principles of cooperation are held, etc.
By the way, one of the features of IT-company functioning is full secrecy: everything the company is developing for a client is a trade secret. In this situation the task of PR is to make everything possible not to let the confidential information become public.
In addition to the internal PR there is also an external one. There is no need in direct advertising. All that works is your company's image, which is created by a competent setting of information, articles run, communications with foreign partners, including the "viral" dissemination of information (from lip to lip).
Corporate website is the advertising support to IT-companies. It is the site content (the information about the history of the company, its employees, management, projects, and partners) works on the image of the company as advertising. Today, it is a corporate site often becomes the next step in a row (after they heard the name) on exploring company for further cooperation.
Nevertheless, PR implies constant support in social networks and communication with the media, so it's very important to make new acquaintances in this sphere. Also don't forget about different forums, corporate events, seminars and conferences, where you will be presenting your company.
An important PR tool for any company, regardless of its target audience and positioning, is a video interview with its experts. This expert can become general manager or other member of a company, who can tell you about the main priorities of your company's' activities and answer the key questions which would be interesting to potential customers.
And what methods of PR in IT sphere do you know or use? How to promote IT company?

Kohana serves Japanese food in the same way that Olive Garden serves Italian food. And in a metaphysical moment for my simile, the "soba" we were served was actually whole wheat cappellini. Just when you think Nashvillians might start caring about something other than serving size, along comes this US Food Service muck. No thanks; never again.
Ok, I may get shouted down for this but can we PLEASE get a new honest-to-God sushi bar that doesn't fit this either pan-asian, cheeseburger-wrapped-in-rice, or izakaya-meets-urban-flats sort of aesthetic? Not that there aren't tasty dishes to be found in those places, but I, for one, would love the added option of walking into a sushi restaurant and feel truly transported.
I know there are more traditional places around, and I think they exhibit varying degrees of success. But none rise to the level of truly transcendent to my mind.
I want to sit at the bar and leave it to the chef to tell me what's the freshest. I want the Haiku damnit.
Believe they have it at The Jam on Wedgewood, or at least they did at one time.
Delicious, some of the best gelato I've had.
But does anyone know where to get Boba Tea now that Fat Straw is gone?
Sometimes, things of historical value go over my head. I am classless, after all.
On my way over after a Drs. appt.
Can't wait YUMMMMMMMMM!
Beautifully written article. Mouth is watering at 10:15 a.m. and I cannot wait to head over there to dig in to some lovely gelato!
i believe i am going to have to pass. unless they are pulling the food out of the sea or the farm right next to the restaurant i am not interested. no restaurant/sisco food in nashville is worth that price and the beating you must take to make reservations. sort of sounds bush league to me. i will save my money and splurge on charlie trotters in chi , le bernadin in manhattan, or commanders palace in the big easy. currently i am looking for the newest diner, drive-in or dive. much more fun anyway. i have good booze and wine at home. dg
My husband and I decided to give The Southern a try instead of our go-to (Merchants) before a concert at Schermerhorn in early May. I don't think we'll be going back. The restaurant seemed to have multiple personalities (tourist trap, sports bar, high-end seafood/steak spot), and service was painfully bad. Entrees were OK, but nothing special; only our appetizer (fried oysters) was really good.
SceneReader's comment was horribly written and unprofessional.
This all sounds just great. What more could a person want?
I'd never questioned the legend that "Goo Goo" stood for the Grand Ole Opry. Didn't even think it was a legend. But I see now the candy bar had the name a decade before the Solemn Old Judge named the Opry.
I thought it was a perfectly good article. Didn't you ever go on a field trip to some kind of factory when you were in school? The mechanics of the factory were a lot more interesting than the history or social significance. Someone else can write the definitive article on the history.
Rock on Abby, this was a real hoot.
You left out the best part of The Southern, the drink special "Ribbons and Roses" - can of PBR with a shot of Four Roses bourbon on the side...$6 - unbeatable.
Upon reading this article and remembering my own tour of the same facility, I wondered if Abby White had missed the front lobby with the historical value of Goo Goos and Standard Candy Co. going right over her head. How disappointing to be so excited to see one of our wonderful traditions featured in your magazine only to realize that the writer was more interested in titillating the reader with passages totally unrelated to her story. If you wanted your readers to know all sorts of personal things about yourself and your photographer (do you really admit that you know this one, Eric?), why didn't you just write about your classless self instead of dragging one of Nashville's most admired traditions and one of their greatest private businessess down to your level?! Thank goodness Goo Goo Clusters have survived 100 years before this article and will continue to flourish in spite of it.
This article was horribly written and unprofessional.
It is amazing that all of your food comes straight from the farmer or is homemade. Keep up the awesome work :)
Hi Angel-This is Rachel from The Speckled Hen-we don't serve coffee because there's a wonderful place called Buttercake Babe's Coffee Cafe right next to us we would never want to take away from her business. We all share the seating area in the Farmers' Market food court, so there's definitely coffee-just not from us directly. You can also get mimosas and bloody marys from AM/FM and enjoy them with our brunch as well. I understand your concern-brunch without coffee would be crazy! Thanks for bringing it up.
hey local foodie. tell me where to go then. the food is way above average, the bar very nice and the jazz superb. we are in nashville, pal. i have been to jazz clubs from ny to la and f scotts is very fine and civilized. there is a rare blue hair so you need to get new glasses or remove your shades. bet you work for another restaurant and you are pulling one of those tripadvisor fake slams. and by the way if it sucks so bad why have you eaten there SOOOOOOO MANY TIMES? i am vexed by your comments.

A nice test on the court, a nice effort, and eventually a nice win as the Lady Tigers held off the Tupelo Lady Wave 50-45.
"We really needed to be tested," said Ripley coach Katie Bates, whose Lady Tigers have only lost to No. 1 in the state New Albany this season. "Tupelo matched up with us in all aspects, and this was the kind of game we needed to get ready for the second half of the season."
Ripley (12-1) grabbed the early edge in the first quarter on back-to-back-to-back baskets by Anna Johnson, Shunquest Howell, and Becca Ruckes for an 8-2 lead.
The Lady Wave (8-9) were not out to be just a "test", and a 3-pointer at the halftime buzzer by Chy Cunningham pulled Tupelo within 28-26. But Tupelo never quite got over the hump, as Ripley pulled out to a six to seven point margin in the second half, only to have the Lady Wave creep within a possession of the lead.
Ripley led at one point in the third quarter 39-32 following a Jayla Chills basket. Then with 3 minutes, 36 seconds to play in the fourth period, Tupelo had pulled within 42-40 on free throws by Cunningham.
Tupelo was still within 48-45 with 29 seconds remaining following a free throw by Ziara Long, but a rebound and putback by India Howard iced the victory for the Lady Tigers.
"I'm tired of getting close," Tupelo coach Stephanie Murphy said. "I want the girls to start finishing."
Ruckes was a constant presence inside for Ripley, finishing with 15 points. Cunningham led Tupelo with 16.
"The defensive effort was there, we just didn't convert into points like I would have liked," Bates said.
- (B) Tupelo 87, Ripley 72: The Tupelo Golden Wave finally gained some breathing room on the scoreboard in the fourth quarter, after the Ripley Tigers had played hard for three quarters.
Stringing together a pair of baskets at a time was how the Wave (14-3) finally edged away from the Tigers (8-6).
A pair of field goals Deontaye Ewing and Dajon Reno with 4:43 left gave Tupelo a 71-60 margin after the Wave were left clinging to a 61-56 lead at the end of the third quarter.
"We had to be on top of our defensive game," said Tupelo coach Grant Pate, whose Wave have not lost to a team in Northeast Mississippi this season. "The fourth quarter was a really big quarter for us.
"We really focused to close out the game."
Ewing paced the Wave offense with 24, with Ripley's Acie Vance totaling 26.

The Zoomlion Exhibition Center is a shape-shifting building designed by California firm amphibianArc. The exhibition center has a unique double-skin system: an inner skin that takes care of the enclosure and building systems, and an outer skin which can be opened or closed to mimic animal forms. From an ordinary box, the north façade can transform into an eagle and a butterfly, and the south façade can fold into a swimming frog. Those animal shapes were chosen from the traditional Chinese symbolism for leadership (eagle), ephemerality and fragility (butterfly), and prosperity (toad). The material for the skin is steel and glass, which creates a light yet sturdy structure that also conceals the hydraulics that move it. The pattern of the façade is derived from the wing patterns of butterflies and dragonflies.
The four-storey, 10,000 square-meter piece of architecture is due to be built in Zoomlion's Technology Park in Changsha, Hunan Province in China.

The Philippines' culture is very rich when it comes to mythology and folklore. Majority of the population are superstitious even to this day where video games and the internet has become a household necessity next to electricity and water. One of the more fascinating aspects of Philippine mythology is its version of witchcraft or sorcery called kulam.

I mentioned in an earlier story that the Minahasa is situated in the northern part of the island Sulawesi of the Indonesian Archipelago. According to local historians its people arrived on the island's shores from Southeast Asia. Their knowledge failed to mention which part of Southeast Asia. The original inhabitants of North Sulawesi settled down the island's coast line and their skin color was much darker than the immigrants from that strange part of the world. They were allowed to build settlements in the highlands around Lake Tondano.

Witchcraft in Indonesia comes in a great variety of forms, particularly so on the island of Java. Numerous items are being used , starting with hankies from victims, hair strands, panties, small nails, needles to urine. The list is endless.

As modern times creep at snail pace in many parts of the Indonesian Archipelago, witchcraft is still a daily practice on a large scale. Witchcraft is mostly revealed in cases where the offensive party has nursed a long time grief over some painful remark by the practitioner's opponent or excessive ambitions are the rule.
It is being practiced in business circles, among office workers and especially among members of the lower social ladder. One has to be careful with servants, for instance, and be cautious with one's words since they are very sensitive where harsh words are concerned.

STEARNS, Ky. (WYMT/Corbin Times-Tribune) - Some McCreary County inmates will soon take residence in another county.
The Laurel County Jailer told the Corbin Times-Tribune the Department of Corrections made the request to move the inmates from McCreary County to Laurel, because the population at the Laurel jail has decreased over the past 60 days.
The jailer said it would bring about $15,000 in additional revenue.

What is radiation therapy and how does it work?
Radiation therapy, sometimes called radiotherapy, effectively treats cancer by using high-energy rays to pinpoint and destroy cancerous cells in your body. Although radiation therapy is similar to having an X-ray taken of a broken bone, the dose of radiation in cancer treatment is stronger and is given over a longer period of time. Many forms of radiation are available. The best choice for you depends on the type of cancer you have, the extent of the cancer, and its location.Cancers are growths of abnormal cells. Different types of cancer react to radiation in different ways, so treatments vary. Also, it takes time for the body to get rid of dead cancer cells. After you have completed treatment, months often pass before the tumor is completely gone.
With careful planning, radiation can be directed to the cancer and away from most normal tissues. This means you may receive treatment on more than one side of your body or from different angles. You may also need more than one type of radiation, which may require the use of more than one machine.
What will happen on my first visit to the center?
For your initial visit, the Radiation Oncology team usually meets you at the Radiation Oncology Center.If, after evaluation, you decide to proceed with treatment, you will receive more information about the radiation therapy treatment process and side effects that you might experience. Before you leave, an appointment will be made for your planning session (simulation).
Follow-up visits:
The simulation visit includes seeing your doctor and setting up your treatment plan. This visit in the Radiation Oncology Center will take from one hour to three hours. You will be asked to sign a consent form agreeing to your treatment. Actual treatment time on subsequent visits takes only a few minutes, but preparation may add 15 to 20 minutes.
Will radiation therapy make me radioactive?
You will not be radioactive after getting external radiation therapy, so don't worry about hurting your family and friends.If you are hospitalized for insertion of internal radioactive sources, you will stay in a protected room until the source of radiation is removed. If you need this type of radiation, your doctor will explain it to you in detail.
Who will administer the treatment?
A health care team will work together to administer your radiation therapy. The team is led by a radiation oncologist, a doctor who specializes in radiation therapy. This is the person referred to as "your doctor" throughout this text.A radiation therapist actually delivers the prescribed treatment and will assist you before and after your treatments. A radiation therapy nurse works closely with the radiation oncologist to help you throughout your course of treatment. The health care team also includes other physicians, dosimetrists (specialists who use computers to help design treatment plans), social workers, dietitians, and chaplains.
What can I expect after I am told I need radiation therapy?
You will see your doctor in the Radiation Oncology Center or in your primary clinic. An appointment will be made for a planning session (simulation). This visit includes seeing your doctor and setting up your treatment plan. Be prepared to spend one to three hours in the Radiation Oncology Center. You will be asked to sign a consent form agreeing to your treatment.Simulation is done to locate the exact area to be treated. The radiation therapist will move you into a position that will be the same during your actual treatments. During the simulation, the radiation therapist will take a CT scan of the area that needs to be in the treatment field. As the treatment progresses, the treatment area may change as directed by your doctor.
What will happen on my treatment days?
On each treatment day, you will be asked to put on a gown or remove some clothing to expose the treatment area.Although the actual treatment will last only a few minutes, you may spend 15 to 20 minutes getting ready. You will be helped onto a treatment table. Your position on the table will be the same for each treatment.
Once you are positioned, do not move until the treatment is finished.
After the radiation therapist has helped position you on the table, he or she will leave the room, monitor you by closed-circuit television, and be in contact with you through an intercom.
Keep in mind that the treatment machines are large and sometimes noisy while in use. Just relax and breathe normally. You should not feel any pain.
If you need something or are in pain, tell the radiation therapist. He or she can turn off the machine immediately and come into the room. The radiation stops when the machine is turned off.
How often will I get a treatment?
Your treatments will probably be scheduled every weekday, Monday through Friday, allowing you to rest on Saturday and Sunday. The treatment cycle usually takes from two to six weeks.Your daily appointment schedule will be as convenient for you as possible. Your radiation therapist will notify you of any holidays on which you will not receive treatments.
Your doctor will examine you and review your progress once a week. This scheduled check-up will take longer than the treatment visits. The nurses who see you during the check-up will work closely with you and the doctor to help you manage any side effects you may have. This is also the proper time to request refills for any medications that you may need to manage side effects.
What delays can I expect?
Sometimes you may have to wait for your treatment or to see the doctor because the Radiation Oncology Center is very busy. However, if you wait longer than 30 minutes, please check with the front desk.The most frequent cause of delay is equipment downtime. This happens when a radiation therapy machine cannot be used because it is being serviced. In most cases of downtime, you will be asked to wait, or you may be treated on another machine.
Will I have side effects, and how long will they last?
Side effects depend on the part of the body being treated. Most go away a few weeks after treatment is stopped.
Some common side effects include:
Red, itching, and peeling skin in your treatment area. This usually happens after about four weeks of radiation therapy. Report any skin problems to your nurse or doctor. Refer to the next section for skin care information.
You may feel more tired than usual. Make sure to get plenty of rest, and do not overexert yourself. - Loss of appetite
You may not feel like eating. This side effect is common if your abdomen or mouth is in the treatment area. If so, try eating several small meals or snacks (dry toast, crackers) throughout the day, instead of three big meals. A dietitian can give you more tips on eating during treatment. - Hair loss
Hair loss may occur, but only in the area being treated.
How do I take care of my skin while I am getting radiation therapy?
Toward the end of your treatment, the radiated skin may become pink and itchy. In some cases, the skin will blister and flake like a sunburn.What to do:
- Leave the marks on your skin until all of your treatments are finished. In some cases, you may rinse the treatment area with warm water, but do not rub or scrub off the marks. Your nurse will talk with you in more detail about care of your treatment area.
- Do not use soap on the marks.
- Wear loose-fitting, cotton clothing that does not rub the treatment area.
- Do not put any source of heat or cold on the treatment area, and do not let the sun shine on the area.
- If your skin itches in the treatment area, do not scratch it. If this is a problem for you, tell your nurse or doctor. Some medicines may relieve the itching.
- Do not put anything (cream, lotion, powder, makeup) on the treatment area unless your doctor or nurse says it is okay to do so. After your treatment is complete, your doctor may give you an ointment to soothe the skin.
- Before shaving any part of your treatment area, check with your nurse or doctor. If you are allowed to shave, use an electric shaver.
Will I be able to have sex?
You may have sex if it is comfortable for you. You are not radioactive, and your partner is in no danger from the radiation treatments or the cancer.If you are a woman of childbearing age and have sex during treatment, you must use some type of birth control. Your doctor can help you decide what kind of birth control is best for you.
If you want or need to talk with someone about other sexual health concerns, you may schedule an appointment with a social worker. Coping with the diagnosis of cancer and its treatment can be difficult. The radiation therapy health care team is here to help you. Please tell your nurse or doctor about your concerns.
What other things can I do to help myself during treatment?
- Eat a well-balanced diet. Every day, choose foods from these groups: breads and cereals; meats, eggs or beans; milk or milk products; vegetables and fruits.
- Try to eat enough food to keep your weight at the same level as before treatment. Your body needs more calories now, so you may need to eat more than usual. A dietitian from the radiation therapy clinic can help you set up a food plan.
- Tell your doctor or nurse if you lose or gain 10 or more pounds.
- Drink at least eight cups of fluid every day. Fluids may include water, gelatin, ice pops, juices, iced tea, soup, and milk.
- If you notice your weight going down, try to drink fluids that are high in calories, such as milk shakes or nutritional supplements.
- At MemorialCare, you can watch the video Good Nutrition and the Radiotherapy Patient. You or your nurse may call us and ask to view the videotape.
- Get some exercise and plenty of rest. It is okay to continue your regular activities as long as you take rest periods and do not overexert yourself. Your doctor will talk with you about how much exercise you should get.
- Try to sleep at least six hours at night, and take naps during the day if you can.
What should I do about medicine?
Tell your doctor or radiation therapy nurse if you are taking prescription or over-the-counter medicines. He or she will review your current medications, which usually can be continued throughout your treatment. Your local doctor will still prescribe any medications you are taking for problems other than cancer.You may continue to buy your routine medications at your local drugstore. The hospital pharmacy dispenses medication only for the treatment of cancer.
What if I have other questions?
If you or your family have any questions about your care, please ask your nurse or doctor. You may also speak with a social worker.Being told that you have cancer can affect you and your family in many different ways. Social workers may be able to help you with individual counseling, support groups, community resources, transportation, and housing while you are being treated in the Radiation Oncology Center.
With your help, your radiation therapy team can give you the best care possible.

Our home's roof is 19 years old and i am considering a replacement. I want to know whether I should get a metal roof in place and what are the advantages over asphalt shingle roof. What would be the cost? Also I am looking for a roofing contractor for the job. I am in Toronto and is there any good roofing company where i can get both the material as well as installation service? I have heard about Roof Lines East Inc.(http://www.rooflines.com/services/residential-roofing/) What about these guys?
Last year we improved our house with new roofs after around 14 years from these guys http://www.calvintageroofing.com and they are pretty good and in budget. You can try them if they serve in Toronto as well.

I recently applied for a job as a lighterlife counsellor and was very impressed by the Standard of training the counsellors receive. What Lighterlife offers you is the counselling to change your behaviours as well as your perceptions about food and weight loss. Whether the clients choose to embrace this is up to the individual. You will lose the weight on the program and if you chose to utilise the skills provided you will maintain the weight loss. I am a masters level counsellor and... (read more)

Hi I have joined LL this week and have just completed my 2nd day with success, no cheating. It seems by the write-ups that maybe group leader charge different prices for the food packs, do you know if this is so? Also I read that there is a weekly fee of £15 - I was not informed of this and was not charged when I joined - how is your group run please?
Written on: 16/01/2013
Hi, the food packs have different prices soups 1.80 and bars about 2.00 odd. The 15.00 isn't lighter life it goes to the councillor which I think is freelance. I hope this helps. Oh and well done xxx
Written on: 25/01/2013
Hi, I also do lighterlife and the £15 is a fee charged if you stop to group, I presume this goes to your councillor. You then pay slightly less for your food packs so overall it works out cheaper to stop at group pay the £15 and buy your foodpacks all for around around £66 (inc group fee). I think it works out at between £72-£75 if you don't stop at group and just pop in to get weighed and buy the packs. However to make it cheaper for myself over the month and due to only being able to stop at group every couple of weeks I buy my months supply on the day I stop at group therefore I get the packs cheaper without having to go to group every week. Hope you understand this and it helps. x
Written on: 26/10/2012
I did Lighter Life a few years ago and lost 3½ stone. This was more due to being with a great group who all encouraged each other. The councellor was also doing the diet while instructing us, but cheated just about every week - and told us! Since then I put all the weight back on. I've just started the diet again. Paid the new £60 per month 'admin fee' as well as around £120 on two weeks' food packs. I was enrolled without presenting a medical form, but then told two weeks in that I... (read more)

£60 per month admin fee - Why - I dont pay an admin fee, I only pay for my packs!
Written on: 01/11/2012
I have never paid an admin fee, even when restarting after a break. You've been conned!
I've been on and off this diet several years. Trouble is, I know it works if I stick to it. So that tells me I can cheat today - and diet tomorrow. Maybe. I'm resistant to the psychology.
After a recent break, I find they've again changed one of my favourite L-L foods. Cranberry/raspberry bars now have a horrible salty and synthetic taste. Over the years lots of favourites have been stopped.
I'm told L-L change/stop the recipe of packs/bars for nutritional reasons. In which case, have I not been getting correct nutrition while on the old recipes? Or are there other reasons - cost cutting?
Written on: 08/09/2012
Very overpriced nonsense. I don't need counselling, I know I was fat because I ate too much out of greed. I switched to exante and lost 5 stone in 3 months. At 100 pounds per month it was a LOT cheaper and I haven't put the weight back on because I have done plenty of research on my own about how to maintain a normal weight. We must stop waiting to be told what to do all the time by counsellors, GP's etc, responsibility for being fat is in our own hands. If you want to get the weight off... (read more)
Written on: 29/01/2013
I totally agree with this review! Although I had an excellent LL counsellor and a fab group (joined in 2009 and still meet regularly now as a group at each others houses), once I lost the weight (5 and 1/2 stone in 21 weeks with NO cheating) I knew exactly what I had to do to keep it off. I have gone up and down around two stone since coming off the packs at the beginning of 2010 but know what I have to do when I feel it needs dealing with and can't justify the price tag of LL now.
I have also gone on to EXANTE packs and just before Christmas I lost 22lbs in 5 weeks and am maintaining well. At just over £100 a month it's a no-brainier. The only downside is I don't like their bars and wish I could still get the LLnut fudge bars but you can't have everything!!
Would definitely recommend a ketogenic diet but they must be done responsibly.

I lost 5 1/2 stone on LL 4 years ago and was lucky to have a great, inspirational counsellor, which I think can makeor break it for some people. LL definitely worked for me but many people did that as soon ass they go back. To normal food they put all their weight back on. They then blame this on the diet! The simple fact is the calories in must not exceed the calories going out if you wish to maintain your weight. It is not the fault of the LL diet if you then go back to over eating,... (read more)

My sister and myself did this diet last year. I lost 2 and a half stone and my sister 4 and a half. I have put a stone back on and my sister all of it. It's a diet that makes you feel totally deprived and isolated. The counselling is a load of jumbo jumbo about adult state and child state. Nobody mentions hungry state which is what you are permenantly. It's like hunger is wrong and your made to feel guilty for it. I am at Slimming World now and losing weight steadily.

I agree about most of the counseling stuff is bs but u just have to take away what u need from it. For me it's just about thinking positive eating a more balanced diet and learning to enjoy and want healthy food and to unhealthy food. Also do more excercise but just generally being more active. I think they are talking a load of junk on the psychology side, like what u say about the child state they have used bad analagies and poor psychology in my oppinion but no doubt that the diet is working and although I feel hungry some times iv worked out a routine that works for me which is a packet for breakfast and lunch then an afternoon meal like 5ish then a packet in the evening cos thats when I was snacking most. Also I drink as much tea as my dairy allowance will allow as well as water to fill me up any other time I feel hungry. It's been 2 weeks and iv lost 6kg hoping to loose almost 2st in just over 4 weeks. Obv it's difficult as yo have to control cravings but it's a good excercise in will power and I have not strayed yet although I do enjoy watching other ppl enjoying food I'd like to be eating lol,it's creeping out my bf but it's not for too long.

I have just gone back with the belief that as I had done the whole program back in 2007, briefly returned in 2010, I woul dnot have to pay anymore for group sessions. WRONG. The website states collect your packs and free monthly counselling in the refresher section. I was not amused that I had to pay for group sessions I would not use. I was either going to pay for the sessions or the foodpacks were dearer?? Sessions £15 a week. Foodpacks vary from £1.80 for bars I think upward depending on what you have. This allegedly gives you choice on what you spend!! So you can choose to live on the £1.80 stuff (bars if I recall) or spend more. So either way the person got her money each week.
I have since been in communication with HQ about the misleading advertising and they have now put the onus back on the counsellor stating she can charge what she wants as they have three price brackets.
I lost 6 stone first time round. I know why I put half back on and don't need someone going over it all again. I think it's a disgrace that you are held to ransom and mislead in this way.
So at the moment I don't know if I will stay or go once the month is up. Personally I think any counsellor worth their weight (scuse pun) should attract more business by using their discression. If I don't need personal group meets, but doing the diet again will promote the place then doesn't need a rocket scientist to work out you gain in the long run.
To con peole and that is exactly what they are doing, by saying you pay for session stay or go (This just for return people) or you pay more for food packs which is the same money as staying is and must be a rip off. I am going to take it further and I hope they get their knuckle firmly wrapped.

I did LL 4 yrs ago and lost 5 and 1/2 stone. I've kept most of it off but want to lose about 18lbs and have discovered an identical diet online called Exante. It is a third of the cost, you can buy the packs online and you don't have to go to classes. The packs taste fine (although the bars are a bit yuk) and you only have 3 packs a day instead of 4, although they are bigger and fill you up more.
I would recommend it if you are considering going back on this kind of diet!

I joined Lighter Life Light and was impressed with the food and the fact that I could have one low carb low fat meal per day. Downside was I got no support from my counseelor as she did not have enough people on the Lite program and had no room on the regular meetings.

What a shame that your consultant let you down so badly! Mine is wonderful and although this is my second time on LL, she is as encouraging as ever. The result is that I have now lost five stone, been able to come off my blood pressure tablets, and still have the enthusiasm to lose 5 stone more to reach a healthy weight. I really hope you find the energy and willpower to try again, but make sure you find the right consultant. And the LL Forum is a great source of support. Good luck!

No. You only put the weight on if you go back to the same habits. You cannot expect to repeat the same behaviours and expect a different outcome. I lst 5 stone and kept it all off for 3 years. When I let myself slip, stopped exercising and ate lie a pig I put on a stone. That's not lighter life's fault, it's mine. Simple.

Its everybodies individual choice and what works for some may not work for others. So basically if it is not your cup of tea then that does not mean its not for everybody. Personally I feel it is the easiest and the most doable eating plan I have done so far. If you go back to the way you were eating before your weight loss of course you are going to regain the weight thats not rocket science. As for being sucked in - all diets out there today are doing their level best to compete with each other - Its the individuals choice which way they want to go. I can personally recommend it to anybody who has weight to lose. I have never felt this good in a long time and it is all down to doing lighter life

Oh dear. An ex-LL counsellor with a huge chip on their shoulder! So you say it works - as you say you lose the weight. But then you say it doesnt work - as only a few keep it off. So just like any other diet then if you go back to your old habits! Then you criticise rapid weight loss - but go on to suggest doing the Cambridge Diet instead! How stupid do you think people are? I hope you are doing very well as a Cambridge Diet counsellor now. Your review is so full of contradictions and utterly rubbish. And you want people not to do it cos the counsellors don't make enough money out of it - i.e. YOU failed to make enough money out of it as clearly you deserve to have done given your attitude. Your review is an embarrasing joke.

A diet is what is needed if you have large amounts of fat to shift, and you must have to put in your body less than it needs to do this. The diet works if you learn to take in what your body needs the rest of the time when off the diet. Unfortunately you can educate people on how to do this, but it is then up to the individual to follow the lifestyle. The diet is not the problem , as it obviously works it is the sesibilities of the person to change their lifestyle. Of course you will put the weight on and more if you go back to your old ways, and I don't believe that the diet has caused even more weight to be put on, it is just that when you get fat you tend to just carry on eating more and more and get fatter and fatter!!!!

Lighter life was the best thing I ever did! I lost 3 stone in 8 weeks to reach my target weight, then went on to lose another stone without really dieting, so I lost a total of nearly 4 stone. That was just over three years ago and I've put on about 7lb but I'm still below my target weight. I don't actually diet, but do things like have only two biscuits instead of 6 or 7.
