    From working in a phone shop similar to orange or O2 here in Canada I have had so many people come in with a htc begging for the I phone back. The android software is not a patch on the apple and no where near as easy to use. Stick with the I phone or wait for the summer when I believe the I...

    Total Solution A couple of questions

    I swapped from lt to exante with a break in-between and the losses were identical for me! The exante shakes are not sweet at all compared to lt. I ordered mixed shakes only.

    Im doing exante after doing lt and the losses are identical!! It's so much easier to get your hands on and it works as long as you can be strict with your own weigh ins! Good luck

    Mmmn my mouth is watering now!! When I did re feed I got mixed leaf salad and cucumber and squeezed lemon juice over it (not too much) then a dollop of low fat ceased salad. Toss it up, the lemon juice makes the dressing go further so u don't need as much! Then put either a grilled chicken...

    I felt exactly the same last week trying on swimsuits/ bikinis. I just looked awful in them and it really set me back despite the two stone loss.

    Hi Becci - looking at your stats i would say that 3 stone is a lot to lose in just 2 months.

    ZERO DRINKS?

    From looking on the exante forums and now being on exante most of them do have coke zero or Dr pepper zero however im a little sceptical about it and havnt tried it just yet. I have decided though that if a social occassion arises where drinking water is difficult i will have a SMALL glass of...

    You really need to spread them out because they are packed with vitamins and nutrients and they would no doubt overload your body and I guess u would be sick.... U could just try half a shake in the morning then a full shake at around 3pm then a full one at 7pm then the other half when u need it...

    Snacks on refeed??

    Ive just started doing the re-feed and am wondering if you are allowed any snacks of any sort?? For example, on Atkins (no or very little carbs) you can have salami or chorizo with a small amount of cheese?? Any advice would be great as im not in the uk and dont have access to the chemist or LT...

    woo hoo

    OOh its good to see that people are losing weight on re feed. Im having to start it today as i could only bring 3 weeks worth back to Canada, for a kick start. I thought i would be ok but i too am terrified at putting weight back on as soon as i eat!!! On re feed are you having any carb free...

    Has anyone counted how many times they pee in a day?

    I drink usually between 2 and 3 litres a day and tend to go at least 8 times sometimes more. Like most, i aim to get through so much at different times. First litre by around 1pm then second by 5pm then sip water throughout the evening but keeping it under 2 large glasses otherwise im up all...

    Straws rule!!!

    I agree, straws are the best invention ever!!! Ive always used shakes, even from being on slim fast..... stick in to the back of your mouth and you dont even taste the shake so it goes down easier!!! I swear by them too!!!

    Thats wonderful... well done!!!! Keep up the good work!!

    Sorry to be grim but.....

    Yeah, it will be your body getting rid of all the rubbish... although i have to say, i still suffer, 2 weeks in but no where near as bad. Its more just 'lose' than the trots lol. Im glad though that i havnt gone the other way... i just hate constipation!!! However.... im going to be really...

    Sorry to be grim but.....

    I dont mind you being gross.... ha ha. Day two was bad for me as well.... in the afternoon i felt the need to go, really badly and it was not a very nice afternoon. Then every other day ive been the same!! I think its just the extra water intake?? Not sure, but if it gets too bad maybe take...

    1st day of Lipotrim

    Im omn day 14 now.... the hungry feeling is still there around the time when i need to have a shake, other than that, it goes once you are in ketosis. Good luck!!

    Here we go again!!!

    Well done for getting through day 2!!! Get through the next few days and you will be sailing through them... ive lost count now where im up to, either day 12 or 13?? not sure!! Good luck for the next few days and keep that positive attitude, it certainly works!!!

    Starting my 1st week on Lipotrim 2moro

    Good luck on LT. The first few days will be hard, as anyone will tell you but once you get past day 4 you will sail. You do need will power as your brain will be telling you to eat, not because you are hungry, but through habit. But you just need to break that, or thats what ive found anyway...

    Struggling to drink water

    Thonrhill cate... i do exactly the same, have a large jug and fill it in the morning and know ive got to get through it and its not actually that much when you break it down.

    day 3

    Im currently on day 12 and i still have moments just like that. I know im not hungry but i cant help but wonder over to the cupboard where all the biscuits and treats are kept and looking.

    Dilema

    Exactly the same happened to me too... i bought new scales and they showed me as 2lb heavier. After my initial dissapointment i decided that regardless of the weight i had still lost the same and carried on using my old ones. Unless they are more than 7ln out i wouldnt worry too much!!! Have...

But you never know, it might not be too bad for you on day 4, you may have done the worst of it...

    No ketosis

    Dont worry too much about it, if the reading is right today might be the last day you feel like this. There are lots of reasons why it may not be right though, down to testing when you have drunk lots and there isnt enough in your urine etc. Go off how you feel more than the sticks..... do you...

    Advice for Atkins novice???

  243. katieg

    Advice

    I agree with Irish Molly... you need to squeeze all 3 shakes in per day otherwise you will make yourself ill... thats probably why you feel rubbish. Just use this as a kick start, thats why im doing. Get a stone or two off then switch to Atkins where you can eat protein (but still no carbs -...

    First Day

I will be totally honest with you, ive...
  247. katieg

    Advice

    Ive read that you shouldnt but if you do make sure you dont have carbs otherwise you will come out of ketosis compleatly and will have to go through the whole process again which isnt very pleasent!! Plus ... no dessert lol. Is it really worth it??
