Actually, 51 lbs of fat is roughly what Jim has for breakfast. So maybe not that much in the scheme of things. :)

51 lbs is a lot of fat. Congrats and welcome.

Jim, what are the slices of toast doing on your plate? Are those low carb slices of bread? Other than that, a wonderful breakfast.

Yeah, Dr Atkins warns us about balsamic vinegars in the book. I think I have the 2003 edition, and it's in there.

Yes, interesting. Something I got from a Swedish doctor who is leading the low carb fight here is that carbohydrates create gall stones, but a high fat diet increases a gall stone outbreak, since the increased levels of bile flush the stones out of the bladder. I have not had an attack since...

I joined the forum less than two weeks ago, looking for more info about Lipotrim. I have been on Atkins for several months, but after plateauing for a few weeks, I wanted to get a boost and a friend had used LT successfully. Less than two weeks ago I decided to try a food replacement diet...

I joined the forum less than two weeks ago, looking for more info about Lipotrim. I have been on Atkins for several months, but after plateauing for a few weeks, I wanted to get a boost and a friend had used LT successfully. Well, after a week on LT I was hit by gall stones which was not very...

I am new here, and the forum seems fairly dead to me. I have been on low carb for roughly 4 months, and doing very well on it. I assume you have read the Atkins book and that is where your inspiration comes from?

I say that if you are stuffed, you overdid it. Fortunately, overdoing it on Atkins isn't such a bad thing! I am not much for measuring the food you eat, as long as you eat the right kind of food. What I try to do is to avoid being stuffed (I succeed sometimes!). I have noticed weight loss...

I thought I would start a thread about low carb diet in Sweden. I am Swedish by birth, but I have spent most of my life abroad. I am back in Sweden now and I am glad to inform you that low carb eating has made the news here, and there is quite a buzz about it. The government remains imbecile and...

Hi Cherry. Welcome to the wonderful world of low carb food! Hopefully the headaches will go away soon. I felt awful the first week (fatigue, headache, temperature, though I was going to die), but been great ever since.

Yes, you typically will get heavier throughout the day. Personally, my weight can shift as much as 5lbs during a given day. The easiest way to get an accurate measure is to weigh yourself at the same time. Most people do it when they get up in the morning.

Unfortunately whole grain products contain a lot of carbohydrates as well. Since whole grain products have lower GI they don't cause the spike in blood sugar the same way refined carbohydrates do. This will cause less cravings for you and is healthier for your body. If you want to follow a low...

liz: I assume you use keto sticks to determine whether you are in ketosis. Remember that ketones are not present in urine all the time someone is in ketosis. This is particularly true when you change a diet, which usually comes with a shift of water balance in your body. I noticed this myself...

Welsh: You need to draw your own conclusions, but I feel very confident that a low carb, high fat diet not only helps you lose weight and maintain weight, but is very healthy. Personally I have not only lost weight, but also improved my health a great deal. The diet has also proven very...

Irish: Point noted and as an Atkins devotee, you are right, I feel saved. The same point back at you, though. You say that some carbs are necessary, while evidence supports that they aren't. I am a member of a Swedish forum where many members have eaten no (less than 5gr a day which are...

Hi emzy: I strongly suggest that you check out Atkins. Lipotrim is awesome for rapid weight loss, and I think Atkins is ideal for ongoing weight loss and great for your health. Under Atkins you can, and should, eats lots of fat and protein. You need to carefully control your carbohydrate intake...

I am writing since I can't take my mind of food tonight. Can't even focus while watching TV. I am sitting here having a laugh about it all. I am having visions of fat dripping off cooked hamburgers and how I would like to bathe in it. Jesi: Look into Atkins. I think you will find it a good...

13 trips to the bathroom so far today and another 2 hours or so to go. Amazing.

So I am doing this for two weeks to get a boost, and then going back to Atkins. I am sitting here at the end of day 4 and reading threads by people who have been doing this for months and months. I am seriously impressed. I AM doing my two weeks, but this is freaking painful. I have never...

Han Han: Tough luck... it is possible to do low carb as a veggie as well, but that's certainly not my area of expertise, and sounds pretty painful.

Please don't count calories, count carbohydrates. You can enjoy liberal amounts of beef, pork, chicken, fish, seafood and vegetables as long as you limit your carbohydrate intake.

Florida: Welcome back. While you are on LT, I suggest you study low carb diets, such as Atkins. It sounds like you have 3 months to learn all about it. I believe that is the proper way to eat once the weight is lost. You can lose massive amounts on Atkins too, albeit slower than you do on LT...

I think it is important to understand that Atkins is not just a weight loss scheme, but a healthier way to live. You shouldn't measure success only in weight lost. I am a bit confused about your question. Since your weight reacted positively the last time and you didn't overeat (which I find...

Hi. If they are sugar free and the sweetener is aspartame, there are no carbs and safe as far as going into ketosis is concerned. Re you smoking, I quit roughly 4 months ago myself, with great success. I smoked more than a pack a day for almost 10 years. Most days I don't even think about a...

Best of luck getting through that unharmed. :) I am just curious. What are "skinny chips"? Sounds like chips which taste like crap, removed fat and added carbs.

I will let you know how it goes. :)

Instead of understanding my wife better, my hope is that after living with me a couple of weeks like this, she will understand what it is like and she will not be emotional with me any longer. What are my chances of that happening, ladies? 1 in 230,873?

No offense meant to anyone out there, but Lipotrim makes me feel like a woman. My mood is absolutely horrible and I am saying emotional and unfair things to people despite knowing that such things should not be said. Exactly like my wife does. :) How women go through their entire lives like...

Yes, I will keep you posted. I am partially doing this to see how it will work. So far LT is painful, but it's only 2 weeks! My goal is to drop at least 15lbs in this time, which seems doable. Atkins is definitely for me as well. I just want a little boost now when I plateaued for a few weeks.

Hi all... I have been on Atkins roughly 3 months and loving it. I have lost about 25lbs in this time, and I am a big fan of the food and don't find it difficult at all. I hit a plateau the last couple of weeks after losing a lot initially. Since I have a good friend who uses Lipotrim, which is...

Welsh... according to your signature you have lost 19 lbs in just 2 weeks. Don't try to spin this into something negative. What I do when I hit a plateau is this: 1: Reiterate to myself why it happens and that it is normal. 2: I find something that weighs 19lbs or whatever it is I have lost and...

I am losing weight for health and well being reasons. I don't suffer from any serious diseases, but my weight was getting out of control and I was on my way to becoming really unhealthy. In the last 4 months I have quit smoking without problems, cut my work hours in half, greatly improved my...

I consider the 5lbs in 3 days amazing, since I was in ketosis already and hence should have gotten rid of all the water before I even started. :) I think Atkins is easy to stick to. The longer I have been doing it, the less I think about "sticking to it". Now I just get up in the morning and...

Since I don't handle carbs well and changed my relationship with food completely on Atkins, it worked for me, and I didn't really realize that others may not experience the same changes, but need something more extreme for it to have effect. Personally, I think I am set on two weeks, for two...

I'd say that losing 4lbs per week is very good! So yes, I think you are being silly. :)

A Better Me: Congrats on your progress so far. I am nearly halfways where I want to be and got there mainly by doing Atkins, which is low carb. I would be happy to help with low carb food if you would ever need it. To understand the role of insulin, carbs and fats you may want to read the first...

Thanks, Betsy. I have dropped 5lbs in the first 3 days, so I am quite happy. I have changed my relationship with food greatly on Atkins, but I still love food. I am just set on never eating lots of carbs ever again, since that's the culprit. Fat's good. :) I am not sure I will be doing...

Winky: There is no damage done at all if you stayed in ketosis. You continue to lose a lot of weight while eating. What is wrong with that? I am doing the opposite to you. I am on Atkins, but doing LT for two weeks since I want a little psychological boost to feel motivated to stay on Atkins...

Hi John. I do Atkins since 3 months with very good results, and I have had similar thoughts. Instead of mixing the two, I am doing two weeks of Lipotrim, and then I will continue with Atkins. The reason for this is psychological. I want a boost with the weight loss. I am losing nicely with...

Thanks for your response. I am aware of the water loss, but it shouldn't apply to me, really. I have been in ketosis for 3 months prior to doing Lipotrim, since I have eaten a strict version of Atkins (less than 20gr of carbs per day). Right now I have decided to do at least two weeks. It is...

I am confused. Forgive me for being new to Lipotrim, but I am not new on ketosis. A chicken and bacon salad doesn't get you out of ketosis, unless you have a dressing with sugar or similar on it. I eat such salads all the time on Atkins, and it didn't get me out of ketosis.

Hi all, Thanks for a good forum. Enjoyed most of the reads. I am about to start my 3rd day on Lipotrim and it is going well. Well, except for my horrible mood since I can't eat, but I'll live. I follow Atkins and have done so for 3 months with good results. I am Lipo since it is based on...
