Motivation and mental preparation are key for me to achieve any success with a weight loss program. I am a firm believer in the psychology of weight loss. I think if your mind is in the right place - you lose more weight.
Anyway, my life is as crazy or perhaps even crazier than most people and I need to know that this new diet and lifestyle change will fit into my current life. I know I can make some adjustments to my routine to compensate for the new plan; but I also know there are things that I won’t be able to change. Since the start date is getting closer - I’m starting to break out in a cold sweat - worrying if Ultra Lite is going to be more than I can commit to.
Here’s an overview of the plan and the food selections:
Simply put - Ketosis. The plan has your body burning fat as energy instead of carbohydrates. And the reason that this plan must be monitored by a doctor is testing for ketosis is required. Other Ultra Lite requirements:
1. Ultra Lite Nutritional Powder which contains essential nutrients the body requires, especially when losing weight.
2. Replace ordinary salt with - Sea salt, Lite salt or no salt at all.
3. Drink 8-10 glasses of water a day (I’m familiar with this annoying practice and I know how beneficial it is).
4. Every day take 4 tsp of cold pressed vegetable, flax, sunflower or olive oil AND 2 tsp of apple cider vinegar. Apparently this helps with the fat burning process.
Here are the only foods that can be eaten in the first 5 weeks of the plan:
Proteins:
Canadian or turkey bacon - 2 slices
Lean beef or veal - 60 grams
Low fat cottage or cheddar cheese - 30 grams
Chicken breast - 60 grams
2 Eggs
Crab - 120 grams
Salmon - 60 grams
Shrimp - 60 grams
Tuna - 60 grams
Carbs:
Brazil nuts or Almonds - 50 grams
Veggies:
Green beans
Bell pepper
Butter (for some reason it’s on the veggie list)
Raw carrots
Celery
Cucumber
Lettuce
Mushrooms
Olives
Onions
Pea pods
Tomato
Zucchini
Fruits:
Cantaloupe
Grapefruit
Honey Dew
Strawberries
Water melon
Beverages:
Decaf coffee, tea or herbal teas
Diet 7-Up or Ginger Ale
Mineral or soda water
Sugar free V-8
DANNON Light ‘n Fit Carb Control
There are a few other foods on the list, but I didn’t include them ’cause I know I won’t eat them.
My biggest concern with this very limited and structured plan is - how can I combine these foods to make something I like AND how am I going to function if I have to actually prepare foods?
I’m sure I will figure this out and I know that my health is worth taking the extra time necessary to make this work.
Very nervous about this. Gotta get in the right mind-set.

I was researching the same thing when I saw this.. I can not agree more - but I am still going to look for a better source
This is definitely a great read! Need to try out this plan and see what kind of results I get.
ew that’s nasty lol I’ll just go to a mcdonalds
From the food stuff you have mentioned in the list, some of the food seems quite heavy on calories. This is ultra lite, one cannot afford to eat beef or meat related products at all.
LOL… all the preparation will not work until U start to like it… Believe it .
Just have discipline with what you are eating. Follow the right diet and I’m sure you will achieve to lose weight. Well, good luck!
Yes, no salt at all. I agree! Salt is not a food! There is no more justification for its culinary use than there is for potassium chloride, calcium chloride, barium chloride or any other chemical on the druggist’s shelf.
It is commonly believed that the human stomach should be able to digest any number of different foods at the same time. However, digestion is governed by physiological chemistry. It is not what we eat that is crucial to our health, but what we digest and assimilate. Do not eat a concentrated protein and a concentrated carbohydrate at the same meal. Do not eat two concentrated proteins at the same meal. Do not eat fats with proteins, Do not eat acid fruits with proteins.
just follow the right instruction and don go eat diet pill of course.. those pills are just a scams..
I enjoyed reading your blog. Very informative hehe. Not bad.
This product do not deliver what you have said about it.
Its really difficulty having to watch what you eat everyday.
Ultra Lite is one of the best nutritional weight loss programs I have ever been committed to. Once you get into the groove, after two weeks, you feel more energized and less hungry. The protein powdered drinks and some almonds in the late afternoon, combined with the high level of protein, make this program quite easy. Additionally, I have learned about structuring and mentally planning for weekend dinners, restaurants and weekday meals.
I did an article about this a while back ago, there’s actually several ways you can trick you mind and body into losing weight.

Hello your site is a very great site! I like the layout color. You rock! Can I use your layout colour on my website? Thank you.
Makes sense to me. Like BioImmersion into nutrition. The more concentrated, the more effective.
Nice article! Your information is good and it contain the useful information which i need.
Brazil nuts or Almonds - these are loaded with carbs and fat… You should very little of these. Overall they are very healthy though.
Hello, respectable and educational article. I need to add a few inputs. If you have superior cholesterol, then you may question, will a low fat diet lower cholesterol? This is a serious inquiry, because it is a well known fact that the most working way to lower cholesterol is direct diet. For Certain one component of a diet for lowering cholesterol will let in being low in fat. Only this is unique part of the history. It is serious to project that it is the concentrated fattens that you want to decimate it from the foods you feed.
Loosing weight is down to eating less and exercising more.
I always appreciate a good sensible plan based around eating good food. the trick for a lot of people is staying mentally on track to follow the plan. I have had good succes with hypnosis to help stay mentally in the game. The gentleman who replied about food combinations is also right on. Have a great day and Be Well.
Good information in your blogpost, I saw a report on television last week about this same thing and since I am going to be married in two weeks and the timing couldn’t have been better! thanks for the tip!
