Hi everyone,
I started the Lipotrim diet 2.5 weeks ago, at the same time as my gf. She has been on it before with varying success, as well as the Atkins and Cambridge so has a good general understanding of how it works!
I struggled at first, though knowing that i could potentially get away with eating certain protein rich things sometimes i did stray slightly, however i did lose 10-11lbs in the first week. I am still straying slightly, but only the odd tin of tuna, or couple of eggs now, compared to burgers and eggs during the first week!
My problem is this. I weigh myself often at Boots Chemists and use the scales which can test your body fat. In the last 11 days i have not lost any weight, though it has faltered slightly by two pounds back and forth; however my concern is that over these 11 days the scales have said that my body pat percentage has slowly increased from 29.7% (29.5Kg) to 41.4% (40.8).
Can anyone explain why this is? As i understand it the diet should be eating fat not creating it! Am i in starvation mode and my body storing fat? or is it something else? Do i need to eat more calories, or less, or something? I would ask at the Pharmacy i buy the shakes from but they are awful and no help whatsoever! As far as i am aware i am healthy, have no thyroid problems etc; and feel fine right now. I have been a little naughty and have a little milk in tea occasionally, and of course some fish, however compared to my first week I'm probably eating less than half the extras now that i did then! Any advise or guidance would be appreciated, thx
