Can you save money while losing weight? Yes, you can!
With food prices soaring, energy bills still high and every trip to the shops a fresh shock to your wallet, it’s no wonder so many of us are constantly calculating the cost of living. The squeeze is real – especially for people juggling work, family and personal wellbeing. But what if we told you that taking control of your weight could also take the pressure off your bank balance?
Switching to LighterLife’s TotalFast very-low-calorie diet (VLCD) could not only transform your waistline, but your weekly budget too. You might even save more than you expect – and feel more in control in the process.
The hidden cost of everyday eating and drinking
Most people underestimate how much they spend on food and drink. A coffee here, a sandwich there, and suddenly you’ve racked up £15 before lunchtime.
Our clients often tell us things like:
- “I forget about the morning coffee shop visits – I can spend £7 in there before my day even starts!”
- “I have at least two takeaways a week – do they count?”
- “When I go to the petrol station, it’s not just petrol I fill up on!”
Sound familiar? On average, a UK adult spends around £40 to £45 per week on food and drink for themselves alone – and much more when you factor in takeaways, eating out, snacks and alcohol. Multiply that across a month and it adds up fast.
TotalFast: complete nutrition for less
On the LighterLife TotalFast plan 12-week subscription, you get four Foodpacks a day, delivering 100% of your daily nutrition in just 600-800 Calories – and all for as little as £11.28 a day.
Unlike regular diets that expect you to keep spending money on regular food, recipe ingredients or expensive meal prep kits, TotalFast keeps it simple and all-inclusive. You don’t need to shop, prep or budget for anything else. In fact, many clients discover they’re spending less on TotalFast than they were before – especially with the current cost of living.
It’s not just about the food – it’s about you
LighterLife offers more than just weight loss. We help you develop a whole new way of thinking about food, yourself and your life. Our free weekly group meetings are led by trained Mentors and grounded in CBT and mindfulness techniques. These sessions help you understand your relationship with food, break the cycle of emotional eating and develop healthier habits for life.
You’ll also get a journal, workbook, online support group and access to your Mentor whenever you need a boost. At a time when community and connection matter more than ever, the support of others who understand your journey can be invaluable.
A life-changing transformation – without breaking the bank
The financial pressures many people are facing are very real. Government statistics show that 72% of UK adults have experienced a rise in their cost of living, with 92% saying food prices were a key factor. And with food prices rising nearly every month this year and currently outstripping UK inflation, according to the British Retail Consortium (July 2025), there is no sign of a let-up in the pressure any time soon.
LighterLife gives you a cost-effective, medically backed solution to take care of your physical, emotional and financial wellbeing – all in one go.
Unlike short-term diets, expensive weight-loss jabs or gym memberships you’ll never use, LighterLife is built for long-term change. Our clients lose an average of three stone in 12 weeks on TotalFast, with the free – and priceless – support of their Mentor and group.
Real client experiences
Darren lost nine stone with LighterLife and reversed his type 2 diabetes. “One of the really great things about LighterLife is how quickly you start to see how much money you’re saving. It might feel like a big outlay at the beginning, but compared to how much I used to spend on the weekly shop, I was saving money – which means you can put money aside to reward yourself for your successes!”
Sharon dropped ten stone with LighterLife after battling with her weight for as long as she can remember. “I’d often considered LighterLife but felt I couldn’t justify the cost. In fact, this was really counterintuitive, because when I added up the cost of my weekly shop, the lunches I bought daily, the snacks and the extra trips to the supermarket (as I didn’t fancy anything I’d already bought), not to mention the food I would throw away weekly, LighterLife probably only cost me half of what I actually spent.”
