Hi there, I went on high protein and high fat diet in January this year, I was 11stone and now since July I've been 8stone 7lbs. I've never been hungry in this diet and comfortably maintaining too. I'm back on the diet just to shift another half stone. Whilst I've been dieting I didn't...

Hi there, I don't know if this would work for u but when I'd get stuck I'd make sure I drank plenty of water and I'd have plenty of baby spinach. I'd have about half a bag from sainsburys. It just cost £1 and somehow that used to get me losing again. Don't give up, you have to be persistent...

I've had one night out and got drunk and danced the night away on vodka and diet coke! Managed to stay in ketosis! X

Hi all, I've been doing induction phase for a while now, naughty I know, it's been about 3months with the odd cheat day. I'm eager to move on to owl to lose the remaining stone. I'm just simply wondering if it's meant to keep you in ketosis? The foods that you can eat make me think it will...

Hi all, Just wanted to share how much baby spinach has helped me. For a while I was feeling quite constipated, all I did was introduce a hand full of baby spinach to my meals, my ketosis stays strong according to my ketostix and I'm no longer constipated. I feel amazing on this diet now. I...

Hello there, I've been on atkins for around 6 weeks now, I've lost just over a stone, my diet has mainly consisted of meals with chicken, tuna, salmon eggs, and beef made in many different ways accompanied by baby spinach, cheese and mayonnaise etc... I know you've mentioned you need to be on...

I've up't my water now. Try to refill my large glass at work whenever I take the last sip! Still only managing about a litre yet. Just find it really difficult! Will keep trying! I only drink tea and coffee with milk so have given them up all together. Thanks again! X

Thanks Hun this was helpful! I'll most likely but from the store as my cooking skills are pants and I'll most likely make a mess! X

Hello I'm struggling with drinking water. What's the minimum I can drink without causing an issue with my weight loss? Any help would be appreciated!

Hey guys, Just wondering if anybody knows of what an alternative is to a cracker? Doesn't have to be a cheese cracker. I just want to eat something that I can have some Philadelphia cream cheese with. Any tasteless type of cracker would be lovely.

Oh wow! Well I have two dogs and I take them for a 40 min walk each day, sometimes we run for parts of it. That's all the exercise I do. I also don't always have carbs, as in my greens. Maybe that's causing a problem? X

Thank you ellaye, that's a relief! I'm eating plenty of protein as my diet mainly consists of roasted chicken... I'll just plod on and stop checking my body fat from now on! Thanks again! X

Thanks Hun, I know I've slimmed down, I've just been worried that it's not fat I'm losing and maybe I'm just losing muscle or something. The scales and the body fat is scary as it states I'm at the poorest level as it's 38%.

Yes, I've been using the scales they have in the store boots. It measures your weight and body fat. Each week I go for my weigh in, the body fat is always showing an increase. :(

Hi guys, I've been doing atkins for 4 weeks now, I've been weighing myself weekly and have found each week if have an increase in body fat by around 2% Can anyone feedback whether this is ok? I was expecting a reduction. My overall weight is reducing but the fat is increasing. It's a little...

Hi guys, I think I stalled for two weeks, I'm not sure but I think maybe the fact thati was drinking my water with Robinsons no added sugar and finishing a bottle a week may have stumped me. I've laid off the salad and veg for a while. Eating plenty of boiled eggs in mayo with a little...

Hi all I've been doing atkins for 3 weeks now, I did lipotrim for 2 weeks and then jumped straight on to atkins. In total over 5 weeks I've lost a stone but for the past week and a few days the scales aren't budging! Are there any methods or specific foods I can eat to get my loss going...

Lucky you, my weekend was terrible! Busy shopping for the wedding so was hard to get water down me... When I'm working the diets so easy. I spoke to the pharmacist and they've advised that I should wean myself off the shakes by firstly having 2 shakes and a protein meal then 1shake and 2...

Hey samprand How u doing? How's the diet going? Have u had a good loss? X

Try to continue to change your deo spray to keep the sweat under control, I've been to the dr about sweat in general and he couldn't do anything for me. Really annoying when ur shopping n ur face gets wet but unfortunately I can't find anything to help. Maybe it is the shakes. B x

I'm the queen of cravings Hun, all I do at the mo is crave and I've been weak enough to give in n I've sadly put weight bk on... My new remedy to stop the cravings: Before I started the diet I went for a meal with friends, I got really nicely dressed up, subtle but elegant makeup, lovely...

Wish I only had a stone or less to loose! I have 2 stones to go! Anyway goodluck! 3weeks should just fly by! :)

Awww thats pants! Why won't they sell it to you for three months? If it's just that specific chemist then try another chemist or exante buy online? But if it's harmful to your health then just hold out! Maybe try a different diet? I was thinking of jumping on to juddd after this. The losses are...

Thanks jess... I think I'm gna stick with it. Yesterday I was soo low and just wanted to come off it and moped about all day, today my mind state is totally different, I'm trying not to think about the diet too much to stop me from thinking of food!

Hey Hun Don't worry just think as soon as youre recovered you can get right back on the shakes. I know it's a blow as it's soo hard to start the diet and be in the right frame of mind but it'll happen... Atleast you'll have your gallbladder out and can get on with things! Look forward to...

Panic over now, I rang him and he has picked some up for me from another chemist! I am now a bit gutted about it though... Was looking forward to eating over bank holiday! :( Oh well let's lose a few lbs instead hey! :)

The chemist has ran out of Lipotrim till late next week! After all my stress in my first week I goto the chemist to weigh in and to get my next load and he says sorry next Thursday they'll be more... Go on the net and you'll find other chemists selling it! Well hello what do I have in the...

Wow! Thats great! I'm in love with this diet already! So as long as I take the dogs for a walk each day and every other day I have no more then 500cals I'm going to lose weight! This seems a dream compared to just three shakes a day! Are there any other restrictions? And what is the normal...

Well I have been on the diet for a week now and I've lost 7lbs but actually ate on Sunday and felt really crap past 3 days! My cravings are doing my head in! I'm losing the plot looking at dog food and thinking mmm that looks nice! God! Tbh I'm starting to think maybe I should try some other...

Hi all I'm currently on Lipotrim food replacement diet and hating everyminute of it! This diet is really appealing but does it really work? Can I eat anything on an up day as long as I don't over eat?

God! Good job my mutts only eat butchers! Lol

Wow! That's absolutely brilliant!! :o

Congrats! Keep up the good work!! I hope my 3rd weigh in is stone loss! :)

Yeah Donna I agree with the above! Operations are serious things and no one comes out of them jumping and feeling on top of the world, Id personally go back to eating till I've recovered. If you want to stick to the diet I'd explain how the diets making you feel to the consultant at the pre-op...

Ok thanks Does the fish and chicken have to be grilled or can I get away with something that has been cooked in a little oil? Thanks x

Hi there When I had this problem I increased my water intake which made me feel like an absolute fish but eased the pain of the loo visit, my chemist also provided me with some herbal laxatives... The result was too slow so I actually went and bought some suppositories and that worked wonders...

Hi I started Lipotrim 6days ago for the second time after 2 years. I begun with a weight of 11st 5lbs and have done a naughty weigh in at home and have managed to lose 7lbs so far. My goal weight is 9st which is a safe weight for my height of 5ft1in... It's been a major struggle whilst being...
