emski1503 said:Hi I've started s&s today after doing Cambridge a few times. I was just wondering if you have to have a meal or can I just do 3 packs?
Lizzylocket said:No, you're not getting all of the nutrients if you just have 3 packs and nothing else.
As Sherrie said, you can either do 4 packs with the veg and milk option or 3 packs but you must have the vitamin and protein meal.

weasey said:Lipotrim packs are different and formulated for 3 a day. If you only have 3 SnS ou won't be getting enough protein. Too little protein leads to muscle wastage - which is not only bad for you but also reduces your metabolism which will make keeping off any weight really hard. You can have 3 packs and 2 boiled eggs - or 100g of checken - or 4 packs (for example).
Pinksparklybirdy said:If you have the 3 packs a day plus protein, you will still be in ketosis and you will still lose weight at the same rate. You need to have 2 boiled eggs as your protein portion, not just one. Your protein needs to come to 100g.
Not eating enough protein, as others have said, leads to muscle wastage, and that's what causes a lot of anorexics to die from heart failure, as your heart is a muscle. Don't do it it's not worth the risk. You need to forget what you did on Lipotrim - it's a completely different diet, and the packs are formulated differently. Follow the SnS rules:
3 x packs + 100g protein + Multivitamin per day. 200g veg and 150ml skimmed milk is optional.
Pinksparklybirdy said:Most people lose an average of a stone a month on the diet, but if you are just starting it then you may have a big loss in the first week, which might get you to two stone.
It does vary a bit from person to person, but I've been doing it 3 weeks and lost 19lbs so far.
mismax said:I only did 2 weeks on lipotrim but have done it before for longer. I was really nervous about switching and terrified about introducing the veggies and protein bits but I have had great losses for the week and a half I've been doing it. I am still in ketosis but feel much more well than I did on lipotrim.
I did stall for a couple of days as I introduced the meal but then dropped 5 lbs very quickly. For me it could have been TOTM but could also have been the change over to including some carbs so in case it happens to you too, stick it out for a few days and the scales will catch up.
I hard boiled 2 eggs yesterday and then had 100 g of veg with each plus 2 sachets and a bar. It seemed like an awful lot but it was only my allowance and meant I could eat 5 times in the day and I still lost 2lbs overnight!
Pinksparklybirdy said:Hi, Veg wise you can have 200g of any of the following: - asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, celery, courgette, cucumber, cauliflower, green or yellow peppers, leeks, lettuce, mushrooms (not fried), spinach, spring onion.
You can also have 500ml Coke Zero a day (not diet Coke or Pepsi or Pepsi Max though)
