Hi all... I have been on Atkins roughly 3 months and loving it. I have lost about 25lbs in this time, and I am a big fan of the food and don't find it difficult at all.
I hit a plateau the last couple of weeks after losing a lot initially. Since I have a good friend who uses Lipotrim, which is a meal replacement scheme combined with low carb diet once you are off the drinks, I decided to do two weeks off Lipotrim. The drinks puts you in ketosis and gives you all the nutrients you need, including the fat burning helpers such as L carnitine and chromium.
Lipotrim is also low on fat.
So, in 3 days on Lipotrim I have lost 5 lbs (probably no water, since I was in ketosis already) so it is obviously working and everyone who does this properly loses weight.
Does anyone here see any problems with doing these drinks for, say 2 weeks, and then continue with Atkins? Should I expect to gain a few pounds back after starting Atkins again since I have deprived my body of fat for 2 weeks?
The main reason I am doing it is that I wanted to get a psychological boost and lose some weight. Also, I have never missed bacon as much in my life as the last 3 days, so I am going to be in love with Atkins even more when I am done with this!
Any comments? Any experiences with this?
