guys can you still lose weight of you eat a meal for a lunch every day ???

Wood · 31-01-2008 05:44PM

I've lost 10 stone eating a lot more than lunch every day, and while still enjoying myself. Having 3-4 meals a day is an easy start, then bump it up to six along the way.

I'd eat about 50 meals a weeks and i can be sure my grocery bill is cheaper than lipotrim.

Learn to realise that this your life, it's a marathon, not a sprint. Some people lose it and gain it back, some people don't. Most people look for a quick fix to a long term problem. Try not to be one of those people.

It took you a long time to gain the weight, it'll take you a long time to lose it properly and safely.

It's really simple, not easy, but simple.

You obviously feel the urge to "cheat" at this early stage because you are in fact starving yourself. Why not look at a proper balanced diet with exercise thrown in to help you loose weight. If you feel the need to cheat on this miracle diet how are you going to fare out when you stop it and go back to the real world and real food? If you teach yourself how to eat properly you don't need to ever be hungry.

Wood · 31-01-2008 06:23PM

Get off it and do it sensibly (just advice, not trying to start an argument)

If you eat more calories than you need you gain weight, if you don't, you lose weight.

At 16 stone I'm guessing you want to lose 5-6 stone? or 70-75 pounds.
That's 245000 calories.

By walking as fast as you can before hurting yourself for an hour a day and reducing your calorie intake by 500 calories a day you should be at your goal easily in 8 months. It'll be a lot quicker if you lift weights too.

With lipotrim, the weight comes off far too quickly and the old eating habits tend to come back. It will destroy any muscle you have, and store the fat you already have, because your body will think it's not getting anymore nutrients.

Fair enough you've lost weight during your first week, but don't expect to feel healthy.

This was invented to help morbid obese people lose enough weight so they could be operated on safely was it not? If you're not one of them, then do it properly.

But to answer your question, lunch would be fine, it will slow down your weight loss due to the added calories and it would throw you out of ketosis, but you'd probably still be under maintenance calories for yourself anyway.

That's nine times you've pimped your blog on one thread. Enough already.

davyjose · 05-02-2008 06:38PM

Why is this not moved from fitness? Can I write a thread about Diet Coke, or anorexia? No offence to people who take Lipotrim, but trying to pass it off in a "fitness" forum is called living in denial.

What's the point in censoring it either? Sure, Lipotrim goes against the grain of much of the ethos that many people carry here. BUT for all the posts that ask about LT there's an equal number, if not more, of posts detailing hte disadvantages of its use. So if only to allow for a 'real' discussion of what LT actually does, then why not allow a limited number (i.e. 1

) of threads to exist about it. It dies off into the background pretty soon if everyone ignores it anyway...

Hi guys,

Im new here and i was readin what some were saying about Lipotrim, im not here to start a row or debate but there seems to be so much negative posts about it i thought i would add my 2c in.
I started Lipotrim 5 weeks ago, im still on it and i have lost 36lbs, i cannot imagine comming off it before i reach my target, it is hard to start with but i found after a week or so the shakes had me as full as a proper dinner. So i stuck with the best times and i find it brilliant, now i also do 30 mminutes on the threadmill every evening so that also helps.
I was 280lbs when i started and i am now 244lbs i still have a long way to go but i am sticking with it.

I tried everything from WW to atkins to trying to eat healthy and i couldnt stick to any of them, but i am having no trouble at all sticking to this.

Everyone is different.

Insofar as everyone has a different degree of willpower and is willing to go to different lengths to achieve their goals, yes.

WW/Atkins will work for anyone who can stick to it. The problem alot of people who aren't used to dieting or controlling what they find is that there's alot of choices with them, and alot of opportunities to fall off the wagon.

Lipotrim simplifies all this. You get shakes. And that's it. No real margin for error. Which can be good I suppose.

However when it's all said and done, lipotrim is nothing more of a quick fix to a much greater underlying problem and probably won't resolve the actual problems and habits that caused the original weight gain. For that reason alone most people who are well versed in using nutritional tactics to improve their physical appearance and well being wouldn't recommend it. And that's not even including the medical problems you could cause with it, including but not limited to severe muscle wastage and slowing your metabolism down.

Still tho, well done on the weightloss. It's an impressive amount to drop. I'm sure you realise that you can't live off lipotrim forever tho and will eventually have to re-educate yourself about what good food choices you'll have to take to maintain your new levels of slimness.

Why do you think you can stick to this so well?

Is it the portion control?

Have a look at this site,
https://www.usaemergencysupply.com/food_storage/year_supply_of_food_basic.htm
a years supply of dehydrated food for $390, that is €260. So that is €5 per week. Now the portions on that site for other supplies year supplies are based on ~2600kcal a day. So about 5 times the lipotrim allowance per day. So it works out at €1 per week if you stuck to your lipotrim allowances. Now I have seen the lipotrim ingredients list, and I didnt think there was anything magical in it. How much is lipotrim, €80 a week? shameless chancers!

Your not eating healthy now.

Don't make the mistake of thinking that you are.

celestial · 27-02-2008 01:24PM

You can only go on Lipotrim for so long - so what do you plan to do when you come off it? You will have lost weight (unhealthily) but what do you plan to do to keep it off at that stage?

This argument can only ever come back to the same conclusion - that safe, long-term slimness that you can guarantee for life is only going to come with eating right. Eating, not drinking shakes.

JayRoc · 27-02-2008 05:29PM

In fairness to Lollie22, they don't seem to be under the impression that Lipotrim is healthy eating.

I actually found their post fairly refreshing, insofar as that it illustrates the original intended use of the Lipotrim program; for someone who may be, at 280lbs, dangerously overweight, to reduce their bodyweight to manageable levels before integrating normal, clean food back into their diet and continuing weight management in a sensible and healthy way.

Hopefully the experience will have taught them that they do have the willpower necessary to lose weight, and that it will have given them the momentum to continue their weight-loss success with proper food, continuing to exercise regularly, and a healthy lifestyle.

has anyone heard of this diet? my friend did it, lost 10pounds first week, but it costs €65/week???!

any experiences on it?

I am currently on week 3 of lipotrim. Had my weight in today and have lost my first stone. The first 3days are pretty tough but once you get over them it's all about will power. I havent been drinking the amount of water they say you need to and still feel fine, also i exercise for 45 mins 5nigths a week. So to be honest for me it's not the easy option. I have pcos and its been recommened by my doctor to use lipotrim as if i dont loose the weight i will get diabeties! Everyone has there own Opinions and are entitled to them but that doesn't make them right. Discuss it with your doctor and Good Luck!

Canis Lupus · 29-02-2008 02:45PM

errr.... Wouldn't it be sensible to drink the recommended amount of water regardless of whether you feel fine or not?

Well i can only guess that you are indeed male as no female would ask such a question. As all females know the more you drink the more you go to the loo and i just dont have enough hours in the day to drinks and wee 3ltrs of water! Spoke to the doc about it and he said it is fine as long as i'm not hungry or dizzy which im not. So you need not worry!

Canis Lupus · 29-02-2008 02:52PM

I'm more worried that you're using Lipotrim but each to their own. If your Dr has cleared you on the water thing fair enough, work away.

LIZCFY · 29-02-2008 02:54PM

Have you used lipotrim yourself or where does your fear come from?

That is a shocking amount of weight to lose, unless you were severly overwieght and carrying a lot of bodily fluid. I would not be happy about that, and would consult a doctor.

It is disturbing that this crap is sold in pharmacies giving a false impression of it being safe and "medication". The majority of medicine info out there is quoting mg per kilo body mass, smaller doses for kids etc. Lipotrim makes no distinction at all. A 60stone man gets 500kcal, so does a 14stone man, even though their daily calorific needs are hugely different. If I was a pharmacist I wouldnt stock it.

Well it's a good job ur not a pharmacist, cause it has hugh benifits for lots of people once it is monitored correctly and not misused!

Canis Lupus · 29-02-2008 03:28PM

I used to be overweight. I stopped eating **** and alot of it dropped off. I've now been in a gym since October and I'm fitter than I've ever been in my life and plan on doing a sprint (beginners) triathlon in July.

I've no fear of lipotrim because I don't need to use it. I just think if you want to lose weight the best way is a proper diet (you know, the one that doesn't involve the eating of 5 mars bars for breakfast) and exercise not through taking shakes because you may think that once you reach your ideal weight you'll eat sensibly and exercise but it's alot of work both mental and physical and once you reach your ideal goal I'd wonder if you're really motivated to do the work to maintain yourself (not including the potential negatives of the diet itself on your body). As anyone in here will tell you, the best way to lose weight and keep it off is proper balanced diet and exercise.

Anyway, best of luck to you regardless.

Very true. These crash diets do actually make sense if you're quite over weight to begin with. It helps people see results quickly which has a positive knock on effect. Obviously it's not sustainable but it's a start.

The only way to healthily maintain the weight loss after that is to educate yourself with regards to nutrition and calorie intake and ideally add regular exercise into the equation too.

I find it funny though that a lot of people have said that doing Lipotrim requires a lot of willpower. Surely applying the same amount of willpower to healthy eating and regular exercise would yield much better and healthier longterm and sustainable results?

SarahSassy · 29-02-2008 07:26PM

I did it. Both a friend and I lost a stone on it for 2 weeks. One week on it full time and the second cominf off it. Neither have put back on the weight. I strongly recommend it as its gives you a huge boost on the diet. Its up to you to maintain it aftewards. Its not easy though... You are bloody dying for something to chew all the time...

The difference is that with Lipotrim it's so simple. You KNOW what you're having, it's gonna be a shake. There's no room to fcuk it up and go over the top. With real food there's so many different options people wouldbe prone to having too much selection and as a result picking the wrong things. And don't forget portion sizes too...

Very very good point. It's like my friend's Dad that was on a diet and was told that a certain dinner was good for him, as in low in calories. Christ! You wanna see the size of the portions he was helping himself too! :eek:

LIZCFY · 04-03-2008 06:28PM

Just wondering if you ever missed a shake i missed my last one last night wonder could i skip it every day as i feel fine?
