    Lipotrim to Atkins? Can it be done?

    Hi Annie I did Lipotrim from Jan-May this year and lost about 54lb on it which was fab, then I got poorly with an un-related illness so decided to come off it. I'd been planning to do Atkins as a maintenance programme but I've still got a couple of stones I'd like to lose. For me personally its...

    Why the scales can lie...

    This answers some questions for me, I've stayed between the same 2lb for a few weeks but people are noticing I've lost weight and look slimmer even though I'm about 10lb heavier than when I came off lipotrim. I feel more solid/firmer if you get me and feel like theres more muscle to me than before.

    What to eat?

    For as Atkins friendly as you can get I would go for Salmon or Mussels for starter then either Salmon again, Steak, Gammon with no pineapple or the House Salad with Chicken and Bacon. I would also ask for extra salad instead of potatoes/chips etc - most restaurants are very accomodating to this...

    This wont help your tomato craving but another nice soup is broccoli and stilton. Cook your broccoli in as minimal water as poss, put in blender until smooth. Crumble in some stilton cheese and blend again. Serve with a little double cream if prefered.
