Mad as cheese
Some of you will know that last week i posted concerns regarding my blood pressure going up and this week I have posted concerns regarding not being able to afford lipotrim at the moment due to having to borrow a family member a huge chunk of cash . Well both of those problems have been kind of solved with one phone call from my doctor.
First things first I just wanted to say to everyone, thank you very much for all your support I seriously couldn’t have done it without you . I have done 11 weeks and lost 4 stone a fact I am still totally amazed with!
After much thought on my behalf and discussion with my doctor I have decided that I will be stopping lipotrim on Sunday this week and following the re-feed programme for 2 weeks after that.
this will hopefully only be temporarily until the New Year when I will be able to go back on Lipotrim if I still want to and if my health problems have stopped.
I will still be following a healthy low calorie, low fat, low carb eating plan so will still be being "good" and losing weight fingers crossed may even join SW or WW or something.
After the concerns last week with my blood pressure and some other problems such as a non stop TOTM for 10 weeks! I went to see a doctor who has although he backs this diet 100% suggested I come off the diet for 6 weeks minimum to see if that sorts out some of the problems I have encountered whilst on it.
A thought I totally agreed with partly for my own mental sanity as i have been very worried lately about every ache and pain in my abdomen incase its something bad like kidney stones etc.
As we all know starting and stopping ketosis too close together is just plain silly so if i stop for 6 weeks after doing the 2 weeks re-feed it will be the middle of November and i was planning on stopping for Christmas and my 30th Birthday at the end of November anyway so talked it over with the doctor and he agrees New Year would be a good point to start again and this will give me 3 months off a good enough period of time for me to get back to "normal"
I will be back on LT! if my bloomin body lets me and will still hang around and hand out advice if i have any.
I am gutted to be going but I dont see it as giving up its just a temporary blip and I will definatley be carrying on with my weight loss journey even if its by a different method.
Lastly to all those people who worry, I will be honest as a child I had kidney problems and they were unsure if they should or shouldnt let me go onto Lipotrim , I agreed with myself at the time that if there were any concerns regarding my health on this diet I would stop I have concerns and I am stopping. LT works for some people it doesnt for others.
The problems i had are as follows
My usually normal Blood pressure has sky rocketed in the last 12 weeks.
I have constant pain in the right hand side of my abdomen
I also have pain near my kidneys in my back
I have had a full on full blown period for the last 10 weeks ( i am actually on medication that should stop me having them all together and I have been taking it!)
I dont think it is healthy that every week I am having to use laxatives to have a bowel movement though out of the other problems this was least of my concerns
Anyway I just wanted to say thanks for sticking by me, and Good Luck to everyone YOU CAN DO IT !!
