No problem at all! am so glad it helped. Here (just incase you cant find it):
Follow exactly - do not add extras and, more importantly, do not miss out any steps. You may have milk in your tea and coffee, if required, and you can now have diet drinks again. Avoid fruit juices (simple sugars) until the end of the week. No alcohol. Try to drink plenty of water. Most people do not drink adequate water and now you are in the habit, stick with it. At least 2 litres per day.
DAY 1.
Have 2 Lipotrim servings and one meal, as follows (men continue to have 2 servings, as before, while women take 1 less serving of Lipotrim).
at lunchtime or evening meal time you may have some skinless, boneless chicken breast or white fish fillet, or some skinless turkey (about 4-6ozs.) The fish or chicken may be steamed, microwaved, baked or cooked with a little water in a non-stick pan. Season with salt and pepper. Or you may have tuna fish in water or brine (drained). Vegetarians may use tofu or quorn.
You may also have either a moderate serving of salad (small breakfast bowl) from any of the following: lettuce, cucumber cress and watercress, tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, peppers, bean sprouts, celery dressed with a little lemon juice or wine vinegar (try balsamic vinegar, it is quite special), or if you prefer, a moderate serving ( 2 heaped table spoons - no more)of some cooked vegetables. You may have bread, grains (rice) or pasta until Day 4. Fruit should wait until Day 4 at the earliest (later if you have carbohydrate problems). You can have milk in tea/coffee.
DAY 2
You will have only 1 Lipotrim serving and 2 meals, as described for Day 1.
Day 3
Same as Day 2, but you may also have - at one meal only - an 8 ounce potato, plain boiled, mashed or baked, but with no addition of any fat. You may like to top with some skimmed milk, plain yogurt or very low fat fromage frais and a sprinkle of herbs.
Day 4-7
A Lipotrim serving for your breakfast plus.....
up to 3 serving of fruit (if you suffer from the insulin resistance problem, then eat these late in the day and do not snack on them during the day)
up to 2 slices of bread or 1 pita or 1 roll or 1 bagel (without fatty spread)
Any vegetables you want except avocado, 1 or 2 servings with your meals (2 tablespoons per serving)
any of the skimmed milk products.
fish fillet (any size) or 6 ounces of chicken or turkey, as described before, or one tin of tuna in water or brine, drained. Vegetarians may use tofu, textured vegetable protein (TVP) or quorn.
Lean meat with all visible fat trimmed off
low fat recipes prepared with low fat sauces - eg lean mince with tomatoes Bolognese sauce
medium baking potato or 6 small new potatoes or one serving of instant mashed potatoes (the kind with no added fat- read the label).
Instead of potato, you may have 4ozs of rice or pasta (cooked weight).
This schedule may be continued for several weeks - especially if you have lost a lot of weight - 5/6 stones or more - as you will need time to adjust to a different eating behaviour and quantities. Check your weight every week at the pharmacy; if it is going up, then action must be taken to address the types and quantities of food eaten. The maintenance food products are advised during this time to add extra control whilst adjusting to your new eating behaviour.

If you dont want to go to the expense/ trouble of getting lipotrim sachets for this week, each sachet is equal to 147 calories therefore (if it was me), I would just substitute breakfast with something equal to 147 calories that is no carb (you'll be better at judging no carb food that I am!).
I think your fantastic for following low carb - honestly there is no way in hell I could do that - your going to find ww brilliant after being on such a diet and will have soooo much more freedom! Honestly, in 2007 on here, I lost 7 stone in 10 months on ww - I didnt exercise, could go out with my friends, eat chocolate AND had a dominos pizza all to myself every friday night after work.
Am looking forward to seeing how much (I know) your going to love it!!!! Maybe start up a diary (so I can nose he he) as I found that really helpful the last time, such supportive, lovely people in this section.
. Has anyone else switched over from low carb to WW and if so whats your experience been like... I've started today but am so fearful that I may actually gain weight. Crazy really, I know full well that if you stick within your points you have to loose.. Thanks in advance if you're reading and for any advice or tips given xx
