Thats why I'm refeeding a week early, Easter weekend away with the family and I want to get my glycogen stores sorted out first. I went out last week and ended up having a chicked breast, gave the wife my chips and had no veg. Remember lean meats only and minimal carbs.

WOW, thanks for that, just looked it up on the internet and ordered the recipe book. Its just like what I was thinking of doing, and being a man and macho an all that the "caveman diet" sounds great, Lol. Looks like I will have to check the dairy a little bit though, problem is i'm a sucker...

Thanks!- will definately check that out now, just been reading the refeed advice on hear as well about how to gradually introduce carbs over the course of a week, in my case two in order to not gain weight with added glycogen stores and water!

Yep...the side effect of Ketosis, some say it smells like pear drops but I agree with the metalic thing. It is of course only a good sign so revel in it even if all else around you give you a wide berth...Lol!

Well, come to the end of my 4 week journey tomorrow on LT. I get weighed in the morning and having lost 25lbs in the first 3 weeks, I'm hoping to cross the 2 stone threshold! I also intend on buying another weeks supply of LT, why? I hear you ask, because I plan on doing the following. I am...

I know what you mean, I have to get up at 05:00hrs in the morning for work. Normally I would do that, finish work at 14:00hrs, pick the boys up from school and be fine up until about 10 o'clock at night before retiring to bed. Since I've been on this diet though, I find I am constantly...

Week 3 weigh in was today and after a wonderful start I was expecting the week 3 dip. So how surprised was I when I stepped onto the scales and got another 6lb loss. Thats 14lb (week 1), 5lb (week 2) and 6lb (week 3) - 25lbs in 3 weeks, unbelievable. I just love this diet, nowhere else do you...

Just keep going and see what happens, odds are you will have lost when you weigh in at the Pharmacy. I was one of those lucky ones who lost exactly 14lbs in the first week (although my weigh in was actually day 9). Even though the scales said I had lost a stone, I didn't feel any different or...

God do I know what you mean, I have been really angry today and I don't know why, also feeling really depressed, really bad, wanna give up my job and everything. Does this diet create some kind of chemical imbalance or something, thought I would be feeling great by now but its just not happening...

Just a little bit, LOL, I think I took in more carbs the day after I came off LT than what I would have done for the whole 3 weeks I was on it. This time I'm doing 5 weeks and hoping for 2 1/2 stone loss, but more importantly, I want to keep it off, I am determined to keep it off, I will keep it...

Everyone has THAT day around day 4-5, the horrible one that is the worst and it is the day before you start feeling great, the day your body is going into full Ketosis. See it as a good thing not a bad one as things will only get better after today, just get through it! It is my second time...

Touching milk on your tongue won't hurt, don't eat carbs if you do cheat, protein only, Ketosis will stay if you don't eat carbs!! If you come out of Ketosis it will set you back, more so because you will start feeling hungry all time and start craving food, if you've already cheated once you...

I am NO doctor, but I wouldn't refeed, If you were going to get some extra protein inside you I would eat meat and poultry as they have healthy fats in which will actually help you. If you refeed the carbs you take in will just provide calories that the Ketosis is already eating of your fat...

Cate, believe it or not, the morning time is the best time to exercise and on an empty stomach wether your on LT or not! You will not be dehydrated because as you sleep your body keeps some water to function. Hydrate properley the evening before and take some water in a bottle with you, sipping...

Thanks for your great support, it really is uplifting coming on this forum. Cate, believe it or not, the morning time is the best time to exercise and on an empty stomach wether your on LT or not! You will not be dehydrated because as you sleep your body keeps some water to function. Hydrate...

Well today was the end of week 2 and my second weigh in. After losing 14lbs in the first week (albeit getting weighed on day 9), i was hoping for a decent loss this week as well (albeit getting weighed only 6 days since the last one), so I was happy with another 5 lb loss. 19 lbs in 2 weeks is...

As long as you are hydrated before you exercise and properley hydrate afterwards you will be fine. Yes you retain water, but only for a few hours, you wake up the next morning with it having fell off again (if you hydrated properley afterwards). In my first week I had a couple of games of golf...

LOL, no secrets, the day before I started LT and got weighed in, I was on an all day drinking session for the Cheltenham festival. I think when I weighed in I was extra heavy due to all the Lager and takeaways I enjoyed the day before starting (carb overload). Last time I lost 11lbs in the first...

Excellent, you should be so proud of yourself, especially as you have managed to stay on it sooooo long. I hear what you're saying about the refeed, last time I did this I put the weight back on straight afterwards, do you know why? I went straight back to eating the same food (Choc, sweets...

Wow, just back from my 1st weigh in and reached my rather ambitious target of 14lbs in the first week. It is actually day 9 (had some LT left over from last time), but still ecstatic as it had all gone to plan so far. This week I am going to start exercise again, I thought I would let my body...

STAY STRONG!! I was like that too, but I am at the end of my first week now and I am thinking, where has the week gone? Keep yourself occupied and your mind distracted and you WILL get through it. In terms of thinking "how am I gonna get through weeks of it?", remember Ketosis kicks in...

Thanks everyone, I had a black tea with a tablet sweetner in and started to pick again after that. I even cleared away all the uneaten food (mainly to get it out of my sight), I never cheated and this morning (start of day 5) I feel great for it. Cate, your right, I will look back in a few...

Hi guys, just need to sound off a bit today, I'm on day 4, its by far the worst day so far. I feel like eating everything in sight, and today thats a lot. We are having a little tea party for our nephews birthday. Being I'm a sugarholic, the sweets, chocolate, crisps and cakes on the buffet...

Seems to be some confusion, you can do some cardio, I run twice a week. The male packs have 500 Calories a day in, however my body still needs 2500 to survive per day. the amount of calories I use doesn't change, just were the body takes it from. It takes it from your fat storage instead of from...

I think it has to be all or nothing, any food will get the fat burning attention of the body rather than the body itself. I like to think of Lipotrim as the body eating itself (well the bad bits anyway), if you eat anything other than directed then the body will focus on that instead of the fat...

Hi all, this is my second time on Lipotrim, day 2 today and all the usual stuff like headaches and lightheadedness are occuring. As a male I find it hard to decide between bulking up (weight training) and losing weight and often bounce from one to the other. I am now weighing in at 18.7 stone...
