    Pregnant question

    I don't think you can do it when breastfeeding - at least not sole source. But breastfeeding burns lots of cals so it is good for baby and you!

    Bev It must be a real shock to your body - the decrease in calories you must be having will be hard to get used to but in time your body should get used to it. Hope all goes well and big grats on your weight loss.

    I spoke to a nurse yesterday...

    I think being overweight is far more dangerous than CD. One thing I think - with society now sueing for every stubbed toe surely if CD WAS dangerous somebody would by now have been made extremely ill by CD and sued the company? For goodness sake the EU wants to ban some vitamin supplements...

    please someone talk to me

    First 3 days are hard then it gets a LOT easier - if you can stick with it a week it becomes easy. Good luck. Keep drinking lots of water. It gives you something to do with your hands as well as fill you up a bit. Keep posting to let us know how you get on.

    Just had my Cambridge diet weigh in and have lost 11bs. I am very pleased with that but I don't really think I have lost all of that this week. First off I am now weighing in on CDC scales rather than the pharmacy scales so they more than likely are weighing me a bit lower and also I think I...

    First time I've asked for this.........

    You could be the slimmest you have been since 13-14.... Hmm sometimes when you have been overweight for such a long time you think of yourself as fat. Your whole identity is "fat". Suddenly you aren't fat anymore. That is a big thing to cope with. You think of yourself as fat and you act...

    Ketosis Breath and water intake

    I would judge dehydration by the colour of your wee rather than the sticks. If your wee is pale and there is a good amount of it you are not dehydrated. If it is dark and you aren't going to the loo much then you are.
  123. S

    Nothing has moved!

    Are your clothes looser? Have you measured yourself? The weight loss can show up in different ways. Like the others have said - the weight WILL come off no matter what if you stick to it.

    Just 2 packs a day

    Part of what happens when you don't eat enough is that your muscle breaks down and as it takes a lot of energy to maintain muscle this brings your metabolism down. So... to get your metabolism back up you need to bring the muscle back and so exercise.... Light weights like dumbells and...

    What does losing the weight mean to you?

    To be able to go Scuba diving again without worrying if the scuba diving school will have a wetsuit big enough. To not worry about fitting into plane seats. To not worry about breaking a chair if I sit down. To be able to run a short way without getting out of breath.

    You can't just eat normally no. When you get to BMI 25 or you are fed up of it you "step up" and have the shakes still but have a small meal. you stay doing that for a couple of weeks and then add a bit more and so on until you are on about 1500 cals a day. You need to always remember though...

    About to begin.....advice please...

    Hi guys I started on LT and did it for 2 weeks before moving to CD. Honestly the shakes dont' taste bad - being honest they don't taste of much at all. I just got bored with it and moved to CD for the extra flavours. Reading the forum some people like the blandness of LT as it helped them...

    CD - 1st Day and Miserable!!

    Just DO NOT cheat. That will send you close back to the start. You need your body to use up all it's carbs it has stored before ketosis starts. Eat and you add more carbs and it takes longer to get in ketosis.
  137. S

    CD - 1st Day and Miserable!!

    It definitely gets easier. Just remember why you are doing it - you are choosing not to eat at the moment - it isn't that you can't (always easier when it is a choice). Some point over the next few days you will get in ketosis and THEN you will feel great.

    1st thing in morning is best as your wee is more concentrated but if there are high enough levels of ketones it will show anytime.

    Oh god scary! Could it be because we aren't chewing on LT or CD and the muscles are going a bit flabby? I imagine chewing uses a lot of the muscles around the jawline and if you just stop doing it it is bound to effect the muscles. That combined with fat loss could be it.

    More than i thought.

    You CAN do it. There are so many diets and I know it is hard to choose. Just be sure to do your research to make sure whatever diet you do is safe and you will be fine. It is so so hard when you have a lot to lose (I have at least 7 stone) because seems like so much. I think it is easier...

    I read your post and boy does it sound like me. It is great you are so determined to beat your weight problem - I wish you the best of luck.

    what would you do

    No Jammy - you have to go to the pharmacy for a check up and medical questionnaire.

    Just 2 packs a day

    One thing I have read on another thread - use a vanilla shake as a coffee or tea whitener. So you COULD possibly make up a vanilla shake and "hide" it (or at least a good chunk of it) in hot drinks?

    Lipotrim convert....worried it's not safe

    I agree with Julie - in that it probably does reducate your taste buds. After a week i went to Tescos and saw Starburst sweets on special offer and I thought my god I bet they would taste REALLY strong to me now. I also think it IS safe but in any case I doubt you would very suddenly become...

    Oooh Tahiti! That should be great! When will you be going? If it is in a few months you could really have taken a big chunk out of the weight you want to lose.

    Exercise and Lipotrim

    Hi all I know you are not supposed to go mad on this diet and spend hours down the gym but I would like to do a little bit of exercise. Thing is I find my muscles are getting tired very quickly. I used to be able to walk upstairs in work no problems but now I find that my legs are a bit...

    If You Are Doing Lipotrim Please Post Here And Tell Your Story!

    Hi all Been to the chemist and had first weigh in. 11lbs off in 6 days! I am so made up with that - it is a tenth of the amount I need to lose. I know my weight loss will slow down as you always lose more at first but I really really want to lose another 6lb by Friday when my bf comes over...

    Oh Please help:(

    Thanks mini - that's really helpful. I am sure he will come round.

    Oh Please help:(

    Great to hear you are back on track. I think most of us will have minor slip ups from time to time on the diet - we are all humans and we all get pressured into eating or get tempted. I don't think the very occasional slip up matters at all. What DOES matter is how you deal with it. You...

    Oolong Tea.. ok on Lipotrim?

    I am not sure exactly what is in Oolong tea but on LT you are allowed any tea made from leaves. If there are berries or fruit in it then you are not allowed it. Hope this helps you.

    Lipotrim 2008!

    Hiya Slipps I would be gutted too if I had not lost. could it be your time of the month? You might have fluid retention masking fat loss. Or might you be a bit constipated? I also think mini is right - if you haven't been taking all your packs AND you have been working out you might...

    Scared and crying? Not anymore, here is the new me! I AM BACK!!!!

    Hi Ellie you are doing great again and like the others said a little gain here and there is not important. That can be down to whether or not you have been to the toilet and fluid retention caused by your time of the month (I often put on 7lbs in that week only to lose it the next). I am...

    Taste Boredom

    Hi all I am on my 5th day and doing very well but my god I am bored. I HATE the chicken soup so I am only having chocolate, vanilla and strawberry shakes. I just want to taste something, anything different. I just went out and bought a few different leaf teas (peppermint etc but not...

    i think size zero is an American size so you can't compare it to UK ones but I think it is about 8 UK

    The two kinds of people who do a VLCD

    I started Lipotrim as a friend in work was talking about it. i can't do Cambridge or LL because you need a doctor's permission and my GP refused when I asked (not because i am not healthy because he does not agree with the diets). My friend stayed on the diet less than 2 days and she was...

    Hi all My name is Anna and I am 31 and I want to lose about 7 stone. Just to say it has been great reading this forum and seeing the advice and support given to everyone. I am on day 5 of lipotrim and am sticking to it except for the odd tea/coffee with a dash of milk! I bought the ketostix...

    Having a social life and explaining the plan to others??

    Thanks for all the help there guys. Some really good advice. I am on day 2 now and according to the wee sticks I am in ketosis. I have lost 4lbs as well (in only 2 days) and feel ok on it. It isn't as hard as I thought in terms of feeling hungry as I honestly dont feel hungry at all. But I...

    Any Ideas what to do?

    A bit desperate I know but could you not go to your weigh in wearing your heaviest clothes with lots of loose change in your pockets? you might be able to add a stone that way - and then you won't be at your target BMI will you? Then you can keep getting the shakes?

    Having a social life and explaining the plan to others??

    Hi all I have just got my packs and start the diet tomorrow. I just wondered how people cope with social situations - like you go out and drink water all night. It is bound to draw a few remarks - what is the best way to explain it and get out of the attention it will draw?
