Well Choc Whip is one of the maintenance foods. As is the orange, summer fruit, carmel bar and soup. The only reason I would suggest using both Lipotrim maintenance foods and slim fast is I know slim fast is cheaper, but if you continue on the maintenance foods you get the weigh in each week. My Boyfriend is on his 3 trip with lipotrim, lost 80lbs, gained 30, lost 80, gained 30 and now we are back to do the last 4 weeks. I also had a 6 week lipotrim about 9 months ago. I can say that once we stopped going to maintenance meetings with the lipotrim lady we lost focus.
Most importantly don't give up after a week. The first week is the hardest, give it at least a month. After a month go on a 4 week refeed and you will keep losing weight and importantly you will train yourself with habits you need for the future. They say it takes 4 weeks to break a habit. If you really need to quit, go to 2 maintenance shakes a day and a meal. My fav meal is an apple sliced with choc whip. This really took the place of my fri/sat sweet tooth cravings.
I am not sure how to make choc ice cream. I have read on the forum from someone else using a blender with ice and the regular choc shake. I also have a thread I just started about how to jazz up the normal shakes.
Given what I have seen with Marco, my boyfriend I would say dont go 100% slim fast. There is nothing keeping you focused. The lipotrim people will help you plan meals even without the lipotrim products. Personally I know for me when I come off I will need to do a meal replacement for the rest of my life nearly daily if I want to return to any of my pre eating habits. I also need to have a magic number on the scale that tells me when I have to be extra good.
This time round my boyfriend and I are committed to working with the lipotrim people after we are done in a month. We are doing this to detox everything out.
