Our company began with one woman with a powerful sweet tooth and a weight problem to match. She tried every program and every product but nothing gave her the results she was seeking.
Her name is Maureen Sullivan, the founder of Lite for Life. Her frustration with the available methods of losing weight lead her to the work of a pioneering physician named Seale Harris. Dr. Harris performed studies on blood sugar and he concluded that the key to long-term weight loss was learning to eat in a way that stabilized blood sugar. Dr. Harris found that if blood sugar levels were kept in a stable range, that cravings disappeared and that it was actually easy to reach and maintain an optimal weight.
After studying the work of Dr. Harris, all the pieces came together and Maureen Sullivan knew what she had to do. She created a weight loss company based on the work of Seale Harris. That company is Lite for Life.
The company currently distributes its programs and products from 14 locations; we are expanding nationwide from our Northern California base. The Lite for Life program recognizes that nothing builds motivation for success better than personal support and counseling. Our centers are conveniently located so you can visit your counselor as much as you need to get the results you want.
Form YOU 3 Weight Loss Centers has been a leader
in the weight loss industry since 1982. Millions of dieters,
just like you, have achieved tremendous success on our weight loss,
weight management and nutrition programs with our high quality products
and comprehensive member support system.
Form YOU 3 takes an integrated approach to weight loss. We offer two
separate programs to fit members' individual weight loss needs. Our
Traditional Program consists of food exchanges that provide a healthy
diet and allow members to enjoy wholesome, natural, grocery store foods
while still losing weight. Our new Form YOU FastTM Program is a
nutrient-rich meal replacement program that offers aggressive weight
loss and is often suited to members' active lifestyles. Our support
system offers one-on-one guidance, behavioral modification techniques,
weight management classes (in select locations), and motivational and
nutritional tips. Form YOU 3 helps members to lose weight successfully
and keep it off. Members learn to apply the skills they have been taught
to change unhealthy food behavior patterns and develop a positive
mindset to achieve and maintain a healthy body weight!
