oh dear, tricky one. my advice is always follow doctors orders, but do they know about lipotrim? the pharmacy are better informed about what you can and cant do on LT. i would ring LT directly and ask them, a third opinion i guess!

and if you do have to eat, maybe just some chicken as well as having your shakes until you're done with the antibiotics?

sorry i couldn't be of more use! xxx

hun the doctor advises eating with tablets as they can make u feel sick on an empty stomach. some people are actually sick therefore sick the tablets up and dont get the benefit from them.
think most people will just feel sick though so as long as u dont need that then i wouldnt eat..
i use to take painkillers alot when i injured my back, id wake in the night and need some but if i didnt eat id feel sick for hours so i use to have 2 biscuits before taking them and that was fine so if u are gona eat just have a very small amount.

hope ur better soon

Best to check with LT. Many antibiotics, if not taken with food, can eat at the stomach lining. This will make you feel poorly and will also irritate ulcers if you have them.
If it were me, I would take a very small piece of meat i.e protein with the tablet. As long as there is something in your tum with the tablet you should be o.k. A tiny bit of protein will not affect your weightloss. As Sarah says check with LT directly if you are worried about it.

I tend to think that your Pharmacy probably knows more about the diet than your doctors - I know last time I went, I mentioned the diet & the doctor had no idea what it was. Maybe you could phone Lipotrim for advice? When I did LighterLife I took antibiotics & was fine, I think I had a bit of a rubbish loss that week, but, felt fine & didn't experience any side effects.

As SarahLou said, maybe you can do two shakes & a protein meal, so as not to come out of ketosis? Are the antibiotics absolutely essential?

Good luck!!
