Has Lipotrim shut down?

About 20 years ago I did lipotrim and it worked wonders. Sadly about six or seven years ago I got a bit depressed and put a lot of the weight back on. I thought to myself I should give lipotrim another go. But I’ve found that they’ve stopped trading. Is this right? I’m using another product at present but would feel better (and safer) with lipotrim.

Hello! Congratulate me🤣

Hi. My name is Cipriana, i am Romanian. I would like to let everybody know that i lost 8.4kg in 8 days. I was 130.2 last tuesday(27/09/2022) and i am 121,8 today(Thursday 6/10/2022)It is not my first time doing it. I have done it in the past 3 times, but only once i kept this diet for as long as 5 weeks and i went from 118kg to 95kg. It was amazing. Of course the first 3 days were awful because i wanted to eat constantly, but starting day 4 i felt good, optimistic looking at the scale, i had lots of energy. Of course i had cravings, but i stayed strong. Allow me to give u all an advice..try to set up something to motivate you. So, i started 9 days ago and last night i booked a Christmas foto shoot for the end of the month, so now this will be my goal, to lose weight till the end of October to look good in pictures. And another advice...for me it's working...try to have your shakes at the same time every day...for example, i have it 9am, 1pm, 6pm, maybe few minutes earlier or later, but i stick with this routine and i am.more than fine.
I encourage everyone willing to make a change in their lifes. Best of luck and keep in mind that in the first week i lost that weight by eliminating the water from my body and starting today the weight loss will be significantly decreasing..1-2 kg per week.

The best diet ever!!

The best diet ever! No weakness and makes you change the whole vision about food and teaches you discipline! Started at 85kg now 69kg in 7 weeks! Combined with weight training and spacing out the shakes and plenty of water is the key. Best of luck everyone. Just need to learn about refeeding foods as i'm nearly hitting my target. I also got 3 of my friends on it. Total inspiration ♥️💋 Fit at 40❤️

Quick question.

Quick question.. I'm underweight and I want to gain weight.. I've bought a load of the lipotrim sachets. Would they help me gain weight if I ate a normal diet and drink a couple of sachets a day? Thanks..

Thank you for the great review.
You are doing extremely well.

So long as you stick to the programme (ie no other foods or drinks other than water plus optional black tea and/or coffee) you will be losing weight.
After the first week, the weight loss is generally about 3lb a week and remember this is fat loss not just water loss.

Please note your weight will not be lost uniformly, in that you will have periods of fluctuation. This is quite natural and not a sign that the diet is not working. You are consuming a fixed number of calories which creates such a calorie gap that the programme will work for everyone who is fully compliant. The average weight loss over a period of time is about a stone a month.

We recommend checking your weight once a week to avoid seeing these fluctuations as a negative, and by seeing only positive outcomes once each week you stand a better chance of success.

Please re-watch our Patient Education Video (see website - https://ireland.lipotrim.com/ ) to recap on the science.

I've lost a stone

I've lost a stone! Goal achieved. Starting weight of 11st 3lbs and I am now 10st 3lbs. It took me 9 weeks to reach 10st 5lbs and my weight plateaued for 2-3 weeks, then suddenly last weekend the scales shifted to 10st 3lbs. I was so chuffed. Thank you again to Gareth at Waistaway/Lipotrim for his support and advice. I will remain in touch with Gareth as if my weight creeps back on, I now know what to do! Maintenance is key so I am using myfitnesspal to monitor calorie intake but allowing myself treats such as a homemade blueberry muffin. The toughest will be staying off my ultimate weakness, cheese on toast with Worcestershire sauce! I'm exercising more and achieving close to 10k steps per day.

Puzzled

having done just over 2 weeks on the lipotrim TFR programme I am confused as to how the science works. On a couple of days I have skipped a shake and replaced it with a boiled egg or a piece of cheese. I dont understand how that can lead to a 1 pound weight gain the next day? I have kept the calorie intake the same as had it been a shake and have had zero carbs..
Does this mean that all weight loss so far is destined to go back on..

Thank you Jon for the review. Sorry to hear you have struggled.

We ask everyone to watch the Lipotrim Patient Education Video before they start the diet. This contains detailed information on the programme and the science behind it. Knowledge is key to success as is demonstrated here.

To answer your issues...

Please visit our total food replacement of our website to watch the video.
This is a total food replacement programme meaning you cannot skip a shake and/or substitute conventional foods. This is the fundamental foundation of the diet.
The programme and weight loss itself is not purely down to calories, nutrition being an integral part. There is a distinct difference between a Lipotrim formula, some cheese and an egg, and how your body would respond. They all contain some carbohydrate (you may like to read our blog on the levels of sugar in Lipotrim).

Going forward...

Please watch the Patient Education Video and restart the programme. Maintain full compliance so you establish a mild dietary ketosis which will sustain diminished hunger levels, maintain comfort and a predicable 1.5 stone a month rate of weight loss.

If you require support and advice please contact us on +44 (0) 1223 812 812

Best diet, quick results

I did the Lipotrim diet in 2018 and lost roughly 3 and half stone in about 2 months. It does what it says on the tin, if you follow the guidelines you will lose weight at a rapid rate. I have just ordered some more as I have started putting weight back on since the first lockdown. I ordered direct from their website and it was delivered the next working day.

In short, if you are committed to losing weight, Lipotrim will do it faster than any other diet. Its simple to follow and I have found that you don't really feel hungry, though don't expect the cravings to go as they are more mental than physical.

I have gone for shakes and flapjacks this time and looking forward to seeing the quick results! thank you Lipotrim!

Thank you Anne for the great Lipotrim diet review, it is really appreciated.
It sounds like you have managed a good first week, sticking to only the formulas plus 4 litres of water (NOTE this is at the top end of our recommended intake of water).
Great to also hear you are feeling great and are feeling benefits already.
The 3lb weight loss is not to be concerned by, with full compliance the rate of weight loss is around 2 to 4lbs a week.
General brands of mouthwash are fine to use, eg Listerine.
Keep up the great work!

You MUST STICK rigidly to the instructions and drink plenty of water, this really helps in the process, I found sparkling plain water more enjoyable. Also, as other say, space out your shakes to suit your day. My son has also followed this programme and lost 19kg in 6 weeks.
Thoroughly reccommed if you are determined to lose weight.

I lost 2stone 5lb in 6 weeks on lipotrim I've not gone on the refeeding program I do have a few shakes in the week for breakfasts just to keep me at my weight
But let me tell you this diet is not for the faint hearted it's brutal you have to remember when you start it's a starvation diet you will in the first week possibly get a headache ( mine was only on and off for two days) but warn your nearest and dearest to keep Thier distance as I had a low tolerance for everyone in the first week .I think it was because I was in the zone and didn't want to think about food 🤪 I was never hungry but I did crave food but I really really wanted the weight loss you have got to want to do it or don't waste your 💰 good luck people I very highly recommend this diet I'm chuffed to be able to get into my smaller clothes again .

Thank you for sending such a detailed and positive Lipotrim review. Well done on losing over 2 stone!!

There are few points to clarify for those reading this....
It is really important to follow the refeeding week once you reach target weight.
Please check out the Lipotrim Maintenance programme which is designed specially to support weight maintenance.
The diet is not "brutal" for most people, although since we are dealing with the excess weight akin to tackling any other "deep-seated" or "addictive" behaviours, there are inevitably situations that may require advice and support - this is why we are here - 015255636

I did lipotrim in 2010 and lost over 4 stone in 12 weeks, I kept the weight off for 3 years until I had my daughter. I signed up yesterday, so started again today and really looking forward to the challenge.
It's not the easiest diet but it's worth it in the end. Main thing is to drink your water and space out your shakes. The hunger feeling does pass after a few days.
Love the taste of the shake it is the best one I have had.

I started the program a week ago
I will be honest it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done
I am hungry and feel weak please tell me this will pass I even felt sick today
I’ve lost ten pounds which is amazing and I will continue with the program until I feel happy Because of the good weight loss
I’ve been drinking water /black coffee but no more than allowed
I wish there was a help line so I could ask a few questions ?
The bag which the Shakes come in has a telephone number but it’s an Irish number and no longer Lipotrim office
With the lock down I am struggling as the pharmacist is not available to chat too
I’ll keep updating

Great Diet when in desperation mode and helpeded me big Time at the time I needed it…

I had tried lipotrim back in 2006 /2007 for 6 months and lost 8.5 stone which was ideal as it was initially for a wedding following that I regained it all over next 2 yrs... I've tried it a few times since and had weight losses but never went at it properly since.... In 2017 I got weight loss surgery after yrs struggling I lost 15 stone over the last 3.5 yrs but I've seen 1.5 stone of regain so I'm thinking of trying lipotrim again for a month or 2 and the n the maintenance diet to trick my system into losing the rest of my weight

Thank you Ciaran for the positive and honest review of your successful experience with Lipotrim (and weight loss surgery).

Indeed you have shown even bariatric surgery does not offer the same rate of weight loss as Lipotrim nor guarantee permanent weight loss.

Your experience with surgery shows there is no "tricking the system" even with surgery being a permanent or semi-permanent "solution".

For successful weight loss it is essential to maintain a long enough period of calorie intake below that needed by the individual for the weight to be lost whilst sustaining optimal nutrition intake. This is what Lipotrim excels at.

The maintenance programme is definitely worth using long-term for you. It has a completely different approach, as it has a different job to do: https://www2.lipotrim.co.uk/lipotrim-maintenance-programme/

It is especially worth applauding your keeping up with trying to maintain the weight loss as we understand that excess weight can often be a chronic problem.

Thank you again, keep positive and we are here to support you.

Use it properly

I have used lipotrim 4 times and lost a considerable amount of weight each time,
The diet isn't for the softies or faint of heart as you do need a lot of self control and determination to reach your goal.

The shakes give your body its complete daily intake of required nutrients
Water intake is vital

Follow it properly and stick with it and you can achieve great results.

These diets have a bad rep because very few people follow the strict refeeding programme once they come off, don't change their habits and indeed bang all the weight back on.

But what you have to understand is to maintain your new weight you cannot eat like you used to or you'll go back to your old weight with your old ways.

If you see people piling the weight back on that is because of poor choices made by them, the diet hadn't failed it had done its job.
The only failure is the person themselves.
It's common sense.
If you are not commited to a healthy lifestyle you cannot expect to have a healthy body.

It works.

Hi Scott, thank you so much for this superb review of Lipotrim.

We understand, as you obviously do, that weight management is a life-long commitment however you choose to do it. Excess weight can be a chronic problem.

The abstinence from conventional foods creates the platform to gain control over food and habits, and indeed the specially designed formulas support your nutritional health optimally.
It is unfortunate that weight loss gets a bad press as we are simply attempting to help each real life person. It is a shame we are not looked on with the same value as AA meetings and Stop Smoking services (neither have a 100% success rate) but we are constantly working on it.

Yes, any return to the same regular "higher calorie intake than is needed" scenario is going to eventually mean weight gain. Again the abstinence allows for a full alteration of pre-diet habits and lifestyle choices as well as raid, healthy weight loss. It is however easy to slip back into bad habits which is why we have a maintenance programme.

We are always here to offer support and advice, in addition to that given by our participating healthcare professionals.

Thank you again, this review should help many people understand the value of the Lipotrim programme.

Lipotrim Works

It is not easy. I have been on it for a week today and I have lost 13.4 lbs. Its funny but I cannot see a difference. I should maybe have taken a photo then and now. I would love someone to come up to me and say wow you have lost so much weight. I think I have to wait a while for that. My starting weight was 14st 13lb and I plan to get to 10st 7lb. I am hopeful!

Since I went started it is like the TV and Radio know what I am at. All ads are about food and I want to eat. My favourite flavour is the chocolate. vanilla is tasteless to me. Strawberry flavour is ok.

My husband is relegated to eating out on his way home or cooking for himself. I cannot do food smells because then I want to eat with him. Unfortunately it is very anti social in that regard. I cannot sit at a table and watch him eat. I didn't realise that the habit of cooking and eating a meal is lovely with him. I went to a party and just drank water. I so wanted to taste the food that was put out. I was offered food so many times but stayed strong. I was delighted when I left the house and hadn't eaten anything. It would be very easy to slip and you have to have a strong resolve.

I personally think that portion sizes have gone mad. If I am out at a restaurant my meals can be very large and of course I empty the plate. Learning to stop before I am stuffed is my future plan. No more starters and deserts, far from that I was raised. I also see children eating huge adult size portions in restaurants and think this is very sad. When I think back to what my mum dished up to the family it now seems like a meagre serving. however it did us all and we never complained of being hungry.

I would love to change my attitude toward food because I am a person who stress eats. I love food and I love grazing. Reading different things I may go vegetarian after this road trip.

ooh I almost forgot. My breath. Oh dear it is awful, just horrific. My husband does not know if the dog or me has a worse breath. I am constantly brushing my teeth and am now keeping distance from people. Apparently that is because I am in ketosis or fat eating phase so I am not complaining, eat away.

thats it for now, good luck to anyone trying this.
stay safe

Thank you for such a great review

Much of any diet's first week is predominantly a loss of excess fluid which is why you may not see too much of a difference at this point. Stick with it as you will then be losing fat off the body which will start to show much more.

The abstinence from food highlights a few things. Firstly the plethora of food marketing, secondly how our social life is often governed by food. You mention portion sizes which you very eloquently assessed. Thirdly and importantly abstinence allows for control which in turn automatically causes lifestyle change. This is important and needs to be protected once you reach target weight.

Going vegetarian is currently vogue but is not necessarily and answer to weight management. There may be benefits but it is overall calorie intake that matters for weight management alongside the necessity to maintain a balanced and complete intake of ALL our essential nutrition. The dropping of animal proteins can make this task difficult but not impossible.

Yes the breath. Ketosis is the breakdown of fat for energy requirements which is a great sign of success. Please watch that you do not brush the teeth too often for dental health purposes and you may use our recommended Papermints and Coolcaps (see our online shop) and mouthwash. Avoid gum, mints and sprays,
