I ate 3 chicken breasts the other day (I'm not on lipotrim anymore but like this section of the forum haha). Still in ketosis :D

So far today, I got up and had one egg. Haven't ate anything since but will be having a green salad between 7-9. Thats all I'll be eating today and I dont feel hungry. Started off on lipotrim but as far as I can see a small ammount of weight that is put back on after finishing is due to food...

Chewing gum has a lot of carbs in it per piece. Big no no as it will pull you out of ketosis!

Deffinetly wouldnt take you out of ketosis. But I would advise against it if on TFR. Just make sure its a green leaf salad. :)

Today had some cold meatballs and some chicken breast stuffed with cheese and nandos sauce. Deep in ketosis still! Also threw in a green salad which was lovely and treat myself to the following (picture attached). Figured it would be a great way to work the core muscles and also loose some extra...

I heard about the mercury content being a worry, but I used to eat 8 tins a day and never had a problem so not too sure what to think about it. I eat a lot of tuna though because of the high protein low calorie content. But with trying to get my fat intake up it would have been hard on short...

Well, last night I started warrior dieting. Ate between 7-9. I'm staying ketogenic while I do it and was a little bit worried to be honest about adding weight on first. So. I figured if the weight was going to go back on I may as well try and keep deep in ketosis with very high fat and high...

Thats what I'm thinking. I honestly dont think I would be able to manage this for as long as required. Possibly a month maybe 6 weeks, but the low protein seems to be really affecting my lifts in the gym in a negative way. I dont feel able to lift anywhere near what I used to when I was high...

Male :) Though very into my pampering haha.

Thanks :) Yeah, I feel I am more into the muscle building than just pure weight loss, more going on body fat %'s. The problem being that though I weigh a lot (and I know that this may sound like crap haha) but I have a lot of muscle which weighs a lot more than fat. I DO have a lot of excess...

I was constipated yesterday. Then the opposite tonight! haha

I'm looking at my losses so far and really impressed. Jumped on the scales today and since starting I've lost 16lb. So I decided to go to the gym and talk to my mates at the gym. Got my bodyfat percentages checked and I'm currently at 28%. They recomended against continuing the diet and reckon...

so 2-4 litres is fine. Mini. I agree with what your saying, drink what your comfortable with. I'm sticking to my 5 a day and happy on that :)

Haha, Sorry, your right, it was the prestwich, was in a bit of a rush their when replying because of a washing machine problem haha. But yes. I'm fairly sure they wouldnt be saying things like that on their site when they are advertising the lipotrim information. Could always email the lipotrim...

What I've quoted is from the prestonlipotrim site, but their is nothing on the "official" site. Seems odd not being any information. But I still standby the 3-4 litres a day and the 5 litres a day I'm drinking isn't giving me any problems. I Wouldnt class it as confusing, bare minimum is 2 drink...

For everyone that has read this can you please read the amendment that I have made to the first post due to moderator requests and as not to confuse people. Hope this helps.

lol. I'm looking forward to going next then and seeing how much i can loose! haha

I'm not constipated but aint been in days. Guessing with nothing going in theirs nothing to come out haha.

I always carry a bottle of mouthwash in ma bag at uni and use it all the time when im at home! Not sure if you could do the same, the mini bottles are always handy! And I'm glad to see that the water mixture doesnt matter! As I said on the previous pages, it doesn't matter how much water you...

Erm. I have strong willpower. Im on the diet. I do have strong will power. I wanted rapid weightloss and fast results. EVERYONE after a drink has different things that are tempting. Thats pretty much the number one reason not to drink on a diet, not including the empty calories of the alcohol...

I'm at uni as well. Used to go out drinking at least twice a week. I still do, but drink water. I haven't drank alcohol since january. You've got to be determined. Get a shaker and put your shake in, and carry a bottle of water, and drink it when you want it. Dont pre mix! Make sure you drink...

Its at the bottom of each posts to thank for posts. Also you may need more than 50 posts to thank some one but im not sure......

I was a bit confused when i read it to be honest. Mind you. After googling, in 1tbsp of white pepper their is 5g of carbs... Just glad i dont have soup though :D

Ah, you may need more than 50 posts.... Its more to illustrate the weight loss, which is..... WK 1 - 11lbs WK 2 - 4lbs -1 Stone Lost WK 3 - 5lbs WK 4 - 4lbs WK 5 - 5lbs -2 Stones Lost WK 6 - 4lbs WK 7 - 3lbs WK 8 - 6lbs -3 Stones Lost WK 9 - 4lbs WK10 - 2.5lbs WK11 - 4lbs WK12 - 4lbs -4 Stones...

Not only is water helpfull for that but being in ketosis causes a build up of calcium in the kidneys, without the water you could develop kidney stones. But. As said, the start is the hardest. I'm on day 9 now and think its gotten a lot easier :) It's pretty normal to be cold, have a slight...

Personally I wouldn't feel too bad. If you've deffinetly ate atkins style food then just start the shakes again ASAP. Dont worry about it too much. Just as long as you did stick to the atkins food and stayed in ketosis. Otherwise it'll be another 4 days before your back in it. Anyway. Nip to...

At least next time you think about eating food you can think back to this moment and how it made you feel. Everyone makes mistakes, its when we lay down and take it and not stand back up and fight that it becomes a problem :) You'll get there. Stick at it!

Get a maximuscle shaker. They work amazingly. Never had lumps in my shake and never used anything else! Soups on the other hand.... *bork*

Well. Maybe get some ketostix from boots and check when your in ketosis. Try taking a days worth and the day after check to see if your still in ketosis. That way you'll know :)

I think as long as they're not sugar coated (generally shiny) it should be ok. I'm not sure though. Some people say when on antibiotics their losses weren't as good. Alternatively I've been taking fat burners for this week and my losses have been fine. Just gotta find out if their are any...

Gotta aggree with you on this. I actually dropped from 21.5 stone in january to 19.8 stone at start of march via general diet and exercise but wanted something drastic to get the weight off quicker to get back in shape to start training again. And. Being single I'm sure it wont be a problem...

With this you could technically have weekends off, as long as you eat zero carbs. Having two days high calories and the rest low calories would still mean you loose weight overall anyway. haha. But yeah. I'm sticking to the shakes. 2 a day (as supposed to be for men). 5 litres of water. And 3...

Yeah, as I said before, you've had some fantastic losses on it sticking exactly to the plan and you do look fantastic! Just different peoples approaches. Thats why their are so many VLC diets and ketogenic diets, because their are a variety of reasoning and differences between them. If i could...

As said previously. Most zero carb diets recomend a "carb up" period. One night off then getting back into it isnt going to do much harm and although you may see it as cheating others see it as a reward. You wont put back on a lot of weight - if any - and in the long run keeps the person happy...

I want to loose 6 stone with expecting to put a stone back on. Though tbh I would be happy loosing 5 stone with a stone back on. So. Currently sitting at 18 stone 8. Want to aim for 15-16 stone. May seem like a lot but still packing a lot of muscle from my lifting weights past. haha. So my aim...

I'm not saying that the pills are for everyone. In the nutrition section there is a thread on T5 slimming pills that I've left a comment on. Just detailing the information on the slimming pills and how they work. I use thermobol, I paid £22 for them. Theyre 0 calories and 0 carbs. To be honest...

SHE ISNT DOING A REFEED. She's said that quite clearly. I'm giving her the safest way to go out and do what she wants. Their is NO REASON to do the refeed in her case. Their just isn't. You keep on saying things that are quoted on the packing. Why are you doing that? People add pepper to the...

Best thing to slow the absorbption of alcohol is fat. Cheese actually used to be used by undercover spies before going to dinner parties to help them stay more sober. If you had cheese on toast for dinner it would give you a reasonable lining (make sure to use lots o cheese ;) ) and the...

I have no idea why a refeed for a week would be necessary. All thats doing is taking you out of ketosis which can be done in a matter of minutes. Having something on your stomach is different alltogether, and the refeed would allow this. But still. Not that much of a problem. Atkins dieters...

I prefered her before this :(

Thanks :) Hopefully I'll be able to keep up some reasonable losses from now on! Certainly given me the boost to continue! :D

Glad I could help :)

I actually made a post in another thread about this... here we go... Figured it might be worth letting ya know that you WILL be loosing muscle. Pretty much every diet out there will mean that you loose muscle while on. Very low calorie diets are the worst for it as well. Now I can picture you...

Just had my first week weigh in and if you could knock 14lb off for me :)

Well, I know some people where interested in what I was doing. Combining fat burners with lipotrim and still seeing if it yielded positive results. Well, they curb my appetite, give me more energy, and haven't impeded on my weight loss for week one. I'm still deep in ketosis and drinking 5+...

I had to sacrafice food and alcohol for a while :)

Its more than ok. I found it harder going for fish and chips for me mam and gran tonight. The smell almost drove me over the edge but i managed to rein it in! haha. Its good to have a night out though! I haven't touched a drop of alcohol in over 9 weeks now and its getting harder by the week...

I bet your looking forward to it! :D Just class it as a reward as you know you'll be back on track soon enough! If I could do something like this and get back on track I'd be very tempted after a month or so! Got me thinking about steak now though! lol

Your right it does say may shakes with "at least" but in the hints section it also says vary the ammount to the right consistency for you. Also, it makes no difference in the method whether its a mouse or not. Your right in the adding more water might make the hunger keep at bay, but it was also...

yeah it is my first time :) though I'm not new to the ketogenic way of life. I've done low calorie keto before, but never very low calorie keto which is what this is. Ive done total food replacement before as well, but that was with home made shakes. I know looking at someone that has done it...

Warrior diet is basically eating naturally (meat included) between set times. Theirs an undereating and overeating phase, you could have a handfull of nuts / couple of pieces of fruit throughout the day and then on a night you can basically eat what you want. I'm going to keep it within certain...

I really mean it when i say this... Sorry. I didn't mean it in any sort of sexist joke way. But honestly. Dont beleive everything you read on the tin. They say DO NOT ADD ANYTHING to the soups. You can clearly see that lots of people on here are and that its working. It says dont take anything...

Yeah, I dont think it will have any effect either. I'm on fat burners which contain very high ammounts of thermogenic compounds including hot peppers. Theyre zero carbs and zero calories. Been using them since monday and started this last saturday. You'll see by my weigh in results tommorow that...

I'm not ballsing it up by not doing the refeed.. I didnt notice your post. The refeed is pointless to me, as i mentioned. I've read more into nutrition than I care to mention, and put the weight on toward the end of last year after stopping bodybuilding and running. I'm only on total food...

BTW. In the hints and tips section it actually says " Experiment and vary the amount of water you use as this will change the taste and texture." But I know your right being female. lmao

Ah, but what if people just want to drink a watered down mouse? :P See. Ifs and buts though. Your a girl, in my experience your always right. lol

Yeah, I can understand what your saying about not doing the refeed, but I'm not coming out of ketosis when I finish. They recomend pasta and things like that. I'm switching from this to warrior diet and sticking to keto. Pointless coming out of it, I'm not a big fan of carbs anyway lol. If i...

The thing that most interested me was that they say NOTHING in the soups. But I know some people here like it and don't have any negative effects as far as I can see..

but using the same shake packet you can mix 56ml with it and it makes no difference. It even states to alter between what you find right for you :P haha. Lets aggree to disagree... though im right ;) haha

Right, i know a lot of you are trying to stick to this by the letter. And are a bit worried about how much water to mix with shakes etc. So, taken DIRECTLY from the lipotrim website.... Female Sachets Remember: It is essential to have 3 female portions of Lipotrim each day. This can be 3...

PS. Taken DIRECTLY from the lipotrim website... Female Sachets Remember: It is essential to have 3 female portions of Lipotrim each day. This can be 3 sachets (choose any flavour combination from vanilla, chocolate, strawberry or chicken soup) or 2 sachets plus 1 flapjack (choose from...

Nope, it actually doesn't make a difference what ammount of water you mix with the shakes. It's the same as with making a batch of moose. They give you a recomended ammount to mix it with but if you prefer it thicker or thinner it makes absolutely no difference. End of the day its all going...

Hannah, just wanted to say, looking at your before and after shots you look incredible! Can understand why you didn't do the refeed though. I'm not going to follow the refeed either but for different reasons :) lol

It doesnt really matter how much you mix the shakes up with. If you can't stomach them then thats no problem. Do the shakes as your doing and then drink half a glass of water straight after. That would be exactly the same. Anyway. Im on day 7, and I've got the same rumbling feeling too. I'm...

As mentioned, read my post in the drinking section for why not to drink. And if you went out and had a green salad and steak then you could easily stay in ketosis. When doing keto before i used to eat lots of green salad on a night (nothing other than GREEN remember that.. no tomatoes or...

I'm not sure how the system works, but as long as your not eating too many calories then you will loose weight... That really is the bottom line. If weight watchers are just counting numbers to associate with calories then the system would work. There's no reason that you can't eat anything. You...

Depends what your aim is when you come of LT. Maintaining your weight or loosing more. :)

oh, and congratualtions on such a massive loss! :D

Should take some before photos (obviously you can only do it from now! haha) and take some measurements. Sometimes the differences arent always obvious to us. Thats what i did anyway. Not to show anyone else (though I might depending how i look after this! haha) but more for a personal reference. :)

Here's the facts of coming off lipotrim. Less calories in than required (even if its 1,500 and you need 1,600) = weight loss. Calories in same as required = Weight maintained More calories in than required = weight gain Thats all their is to know about coming off lipotrim with your meal...

There's a htread on the lipotrim page called "drinking..." read the post that I put in that. PLEASE READ THAT POST. You'll read a bit more about alcohol when in and coming out of ketosis. I dont want to re-post things again and again but please please please please read it. I've looked into it...

Just let your boyfriend know that pharmacists who've spent years training to do what they do, and doctors who spend even longer training to do what they do say that this diet is acceptable, lable it as a diet and not an eating disorder, and use it to correct over eating (which IS an eating...

Just a quick note to say that ketosis isnt starvation mode, they arent necessarily related. I used to be on 3K calories a day (still loosing weight) and be in ketosis. lol. The hair is probably just slowing fown into sleep mode as said though. Nothing to worry about unless its all falling out...

Well. If you're not getting the results you want then i would say take your weight one monday morning as soon as you get up. Each day for one week make a record of the calories that you eat and be as accurate as you can, along with roughly the ammount of liquid that your drinking. Dont forget to...

Think ill save the ducolax for when im struggling, haha. was thinking that this may just keep me regular! :)

Well i made it through. Up to day 5 now. Fat burner taken, morning shake had. Now time for a run :) i'm taking it one day at a time. I'll get their eventually. So far their hasnt been a morning on the scales when i havent lost!

I was hungry while at uni tonight (I'm only on day 4) but usually I finish uni and come home and have something to eat so guessing thats why! Thanks Fedupbeingafattie! at least I can trust what they say on this then. I'm not going to take it daily as everything seems to be normal, though I dont...

BTW. Just to add to the last post, when I have done a ketogenic diet before I have drank vodka. Half a bottle of it. I have also been out drinking vodka and soda mixed with ice (no flavourings)... I like vodka! haha. And not had any problems. I have NEVER mixed alcohol on a VLC diet. I wouldn't...

For me the signs are: Bad Breath Furry Tounge Darker urine - not dark, just darker (though still keeping HIGH intake of water) Freezing hands My urine stinks (odd side effect but not uncommon!) Also, the ketostix tell me haha. Looking at the site they say that each spoonfull contains 3g of...

I'll try and offer some advice, from a purely dietry point of view. External factors could be contributing but if you have recently changed your diet or eating plan then it is possible that it is that that could be contributing. Right. Most people starting dieting seem to go low fat low...

Here's the lowdown guys, from a LOT of research.... alcohol does increase the release of ketones they are not good, because alcohol slows down your metabolism and will definitely not help ketosis. Alcohol acts through the following ways: A. It reduces coronary artery spasm in response...

Anyone used the "fiber clear" thats recomended on the lipotrim website? Anyone else thought it slightly odd that per serving their is 6grams of carbohydrates?! Mixing 2 spoon fulls of this, with a drink could kick you out of ketosis. Just wondering what other peoples views are and if they've...

I didn't mean it to be confusing but re-reading it now can see how that can happen. Basically when your on this diet your loosing muscle. haha. Simple as that. Their isnt enough protein in these shakes to help rebuild muscle after strenuous exercise. Light exercise should be fine. I'm...

From what i can see there are no "cheap" alternatives. Do a google about for total food replacement. You might find something, but i doubt it. The nutrients your body needs i dont beleive can just be got through multivitamins (though they do help!). Beleive me when i say that i've looked at a...

The maximuscle site is really really high when calculating calories though. Look around online and their are some handy BMR calculators. :)

Purple with pink stripes??? lol. I'd be a bit worried! haha So fat they're fine, giving me a LOT more energy. Other than that feeling the effects of general ketosis but with more energy. Quite pleased really. Considering I'm only on day 4 I reckon my first weeks loss will be pretty large...

Also can grab the ketostix on ebay if you want to test yourself. Waiting for mine to arrive as I've been taking fat burners for the past couple of days. Going to uni at about 4 tonight and a mate is bringing a couple in for me to last while I wait for mine to be delivered so will be checking to...

I don't have any TV prgrams that motivate me, but the film/documentary "Pumping Iron" makes me super motivated!

No replies to this thread, so I'll give it a shot! haha. Right, start off my googling BMR and calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate. This will give you an indication of how many calories your burning without exercise. Then you can calculate how many calories your burning during the exercise. You...

Figured it might be worth letting ya know that you WILL be loosing muscle. Pretty much every diet out there will mean that you loose muscle while on. Very low calorie diets are the worst for it as well. Now I can picture you thinking "well, that means i have to work my muscles to keep them...

I noticed that no one has replied to this, and (as a man) can only offer anecdotal evidence. My mam was suffering from hot flushes with similar symptoms. The key thing, as hard as it is to do, is not to panick when they come on or try not to get embarassed. Excuse yourself and go to the toilet...

I'm doing pretty well. I'm supplementing fat burners in though, which suposedly have an appetite surpressing effect. Not sure if they do (as I never noticed it before) but i think a bit of placebo and ketosis kicking in has helped a lot. Plus they're giving me a lot of energy to go running every...

You girls are worried, i look 7 months pregnant and I'm a man! haha Looking forward to the bloat going down a bit too. Hopefully within the next couple of days :D

Your only a failure when you give up completely. You certainly haven't. After such amazing losses (thats a lot of sausages! haha) eating healthy for a while is a good option till your in the right frame of mind. As long as you keep in a calorie deficit you'll loose weight regardless. Try an...

Your best bet is to ask the pharmacist if you need to take additional supplements, but as a general rule it shouldnt be a problem. I've had a quick google and can't find any information on the cabohydrate content of the vitamin tablets that your talking about. By the sounds of it the reason that...

Congratulations! I'm one of the people that also gets on the scales every day. I'm not put off if i see a loss or even a slight gain though as I know with perseverance you can make it in the end! (I know I've only just started this but actually lost a lot since january lol).

Nuts are generally a good option for a snack, though they may appear high in calories they're a nice slow release carbohydrate so will leave you feeling full for longer. Also they have some healthy fats in them which is always a bonus! Any high omega-3 fish is a good option as well. Tuna...

Those weapons are only black eye makers in the wrong hands ;) haha

I'm honestly a bit disappointed no one commented on this. Its a great idea. A motivational thread. Encouraging everyone and allowing people to contribute! I'm always known as the one who can talk to girls easily. Unfortunetly that's where it ends. All of them are just into my mates unfortunetly...

Haha - I dont follow football, but that was too good of an oppotunity to miss! lol I've got blackadder on tv now. Only at university 2 days a week so have to find other ways to try and pass the time! Have you tried joining a gym? Might give you some extra motivation. I find if i focus on being...

At the end of the day i suppose they make a nice pair ;) lol

anything about Everton would be an ideal book to read about loss lol. I know it may seem odd but Paul Mckenna's book "I Can Make You Thin" was an interesting read, with some reasonable thought processes about why we eat and how to help control it! Finding something else to occupy your time is...

Once your heads in the right place you can do it. Try some visualisation, paul mckenna actually promotes a clever trick of negative association. Basically picture something absolutely disgusting and keep it with a trigger, eg rubbing your leg. Then whenever you think of chocolate start rubbing...

lol. Theres a book ya can buy called "the warrior diet" by "Ori Hofmekler" which details the diet. It's more of a natural diet. But its each to their own. I find it easier not to eat during the day and eat late at night, but thats just me, weirdly i find it easier to have a shake on a morning...

Congratulations on reaching your goal! It's one hell of an accomplishment in only 10 weeks! I can't even imagine how proud you are of yourself :D Will be a massive boost in confidence as well as being much healthier!

Lol. When i do something I have a tendency to take it to the extreme. lol. In general I'd say since starting this diet I've read more nutrition books than I care to mention. So trying to stick to what I think will be best for me lol

They recomend following their re-feed but I'm going to switch straight to warrior diet spliced with keto (seen as though I'll already be in a ketogenic state it seems silly to come out of it on a refeed for me). Basically eat nothing during the day but a night time feast. I know for most people...

I'm doing a different re-feed to what is recomended, but atm I'm craving tuna. Lots of tuna. I used to be having 5 large tins a day for protein so maybe thats why... mmmmmmm tuna.

I was just a bit concerned as trying to keep it zero carb. Was going to add coffee to my vanilla shakes and probably chocolate shakes, but the nescafe that I have has 0.5g of carbs per small serving so going to see if i can get some zero carb coffe. lol

Just remember the colder the water the more calories you will burn! The body needs to warm the water up before processing so its using calories! Try drinking water from when you first wake up in small ammounts throughout the day. I'm never more than 10ft away from a litre bottle of water (i...

I'm drinking 5 litres a day easily, some days more, some days slightly less. I've not had any problems. Personally as long as your not forcing water down I dont see a problem. I know several bodybuilders who drink 8 litres+ a day. Personal preferance though I suppose.

I've tried the soup and certainly won't be trying it again! lol Dont think I could stomach it. Though i did have to sieve mine to get the lumps out....

Went to asda today and looked at all the pepermint tea that i could see. Every one of them had carbs in it, so I'm not sure which ones to use... Which tea do people here use? :)

Congratulations on such a big loss! Keep up the hard work and you'll be at your goal in no time at this rate! :D

I can pretty much guarentee that you'll loose more than that. We started at the same time I think, So we can encourage each other! haha. Stick with it, your first weigh in might not be your best because it's only 5 days, but the week after you'll be flying :D

I'm in the same situation, 3-4 days is on the long range for when to expect it on such a low carb diet, so you more than likely are in ketosis now! :D I'm quite pleased I'm finally in it as I was really hungry yesterday lol If you want to be certain you could always get some ketostix, though...

I can vouch for how hard it was. Getting into the gym and seeing some of the skinny people running full pelt for miles was a bit daunting when i could only last a few minutes before being out of breath. Absolute nightmare! But keep at it and it gets easier. Just picture it like a weight, you...

Can't beleive I'm the first that's going to reply to this, and yes, even though I'm a straight male i must say... God damn that fella is fit! haha I've only ever been to london once, and though I never experienced the male strip shows it was still a fantastic experience! Good luck on your...

Right. I've taken three thermobol today. Zero carbs, zero calories. I'm on my third day of lipotrim. Bit of advice for anyone thinking about this... Termobol isn't the best fat burner out there. There are several different types that I've tried (trying to cut body fat percentages to get the...

Men tend to loose more weight than ladies as the shakes that men have are 100 calories more but (in general terms) mens metabolic rate is higher, hence the recomended 2,500 calories a day for men and 2,000 for women. Don't feel disapointed, feel proud that although you haven't lost as much as...

As impressive as they are, I'd be horrified if I was going out with a girl who dressed like that... Perhaps thats why I'm single! lol

Glad I could help. If your concerned you could always try to take a multivitamin (with a complex vitamin b and vitamin a) which helps hair as its some of the main vitamins that it needs. Other than that, time is your friend :)

Maybe try some bio-oil. Very good for stretch marks and scars, so may help!

Any chance of joining in this? I only started yesterday but aiming for 23lb by the end of march. Something to aim for with exercise i think! :)

If anyone wants to watch the very poorly edited video again, it is on the lipotrim home page, though I dont think i could sit through another sitting without nodding off! haha

Try not to dwell on this thought too much as its not something that happens to everyone! Plus, dont look at it as hair loss as you arent actually loosing any hair, though "hair sleep" does sound a little silly. haha If your worried and it does start to occur you could always use a thickening...

Stick in with the exercise and you'll get there. I started this year at 21 and a half stone, now i can go for runs no problem, even though I'm still carrying a lot of extra weight. Hopefully the difference will show once i loose the weight, may finally see some sort of muscles rather than the...

The lipotrim website has the "poorly made informational video" on it. Generally this would start regrowing within a month after finishing and re-establishing a normal dietry balance. Ketosis does cause a tempory hair restriction, but not hair loss. It stops the hair from growing and puts it into...

You may put a bit back on, but should shed it quickly as it is only water weight mainly. May be harder for a couple of days to get back into shakes due to being out of ketosis, but you'll get there. Someone once told me "To try and fail is the manner of losers; to try and learn is the way of the...

Might have to give that one a try! Sounds pretty tasty :D

Yeah, I was worried about loosing muscle too. Generally to maintain muscle mass we need approximately 1g of protein per lb of lein body mass. From what I can see the LT formulae only supplies approximately 80g. That doesn't mean that a large ammount of muscle will be lost while on the shakes...

What peppermint are you mixing with your shakes? Just curious if its just some sort of essence. I haven't been on 'em long enough to get sick just yet, but I'm sure it'll help in the future! haha

I'm pretty clued up on different diets and nutrition, but was wondering if there where any "experts" who may know any more. lol. I'm going to start the thermobol tommorow after hearing back from maximuscle (even though its 18:00 on a sunday night!!) and them saying that the formulae contains...

Haha. I love doing the free weights but invested for a set at home instead. I want to loose weight and then tone up. I'm sure somewhere under these layers is a six pack waiting to get out! haha

Yeah the one in stockton is good, £23.50 a month for unlimited gym, swimming and all lessons. Seemed a bargain to me! Though I hate using the free weights there due to all the muscle guys showing off (though I remember the same at david lloyds! lol)

Once I know I'm in ketosis (I'll check with ketosticks and can usually tell) I'll give them a try for a few days and check back with the ketosticks. As long as I'm still in ketosis I'll stick with them. They arent adding any extra calories, so can't see it being too much of a problem... But I'm...

As long as you make sure that your hydrated it shouldnt be too much of a problem. Take it easy your first few times and see how you feel. In all honesty there's no one who can judge better what you can do while on this diet than yourself. Listen to your body, and if you feel you should push on...

lol! I was a bit worried about this so have got the fiberclear they recomend on the lipotrim website. Hope this problem doesnt happen to me! Though the extra loss must have come as quite a surprise! :roofles:

If your a local then splash gym is actually pretty good. I wasnt expecting it, as I used to be a member of david lloyds (had a cheap membership from where i used to work!) but its actually really nice there! On a side note, dont forget that weights help with weight loss as well! If you build...

CLA - Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is a completely natural fatty acid found in dairy produce and some meats. Each CLA-1000 capsule contains a whopping 622mg of the finest Tonalin® CLA, which is a highly purified form of CLA, making it one of the best fat burning pills on the market...

Yeah, I finally think that after so long out of the gym I'm back in the right frame of mind. It's hard work but hopefully these habits will continue once i finally reach my target! :D

Right, where to start. I'm 22, I live in the northeast, and after christmas I realised that it was about time I did something about my weight. I'm a big build lad (not just weight, I'm reffering to doing a lot of weight lifting as well) but slowed down in the middle of last year and by...

Fat burners dont bind to any fat.... They mobilise and burn fat. Basically encouraging your body to burn more fat but not binding to it... Most fat burners actually have a thermogenic effect on the body, increasing the bodies temperature meaning that the body has to work to cool it down, this...

I can understand what your saying with the medication, but people who are taking blood pressure medication, beta blockers, cholesterol medication and others all have shown results on lipotrim. The fat burners I'm refering to have no calories, no fat content, and simply contain natural...

I started lipotrim yesterday. I dont have a problem with missing meals as have tried other meal replacements before and never had a problem. The major difficulty I think is making it past the first week and getting into ketosis. Once you reach that stage your away! Pain is temporary, pride is...

Yeah, I have a batch of the CLA here as well :D Was a bit unsure if that would be suitable as it is just a fat. But can't see why it would be a problem as every other ketogenic diet that I've seen recomends low to zero carbs and high fat/protein intake. I know that lipotrim is slightly...

Im currently using a shaker, have used it for other shakes (protein and creatine mix's). If you do get a shaker make sure its a screw on lid one, and make sure that its screwed on propperly! Accidents can happen lol. Another thing to make sure of is that it comes with a mesh on the top...

Hi, I'm just looking for a bit of advice. I understand that while on Lipotrim it is meant to be lipotrim and nothing else. From looking at the way ketosis works, and also realising that the VLC aspect is important, I was curious as to weather it would be possible to supplement something like...

I use thermobol and MX-LS7 which can be gotten cheaply online. The MX-LS7 has a very high caffeine content so I wouldnt recomend taking it later on in the day. I stumbled accross this site as currently using lipotrim and wondering if it's ok to include thermobol while on it. Thermobol works...
