I had struggled with diets for a long…

I had struggled with diets for a long time and found that no matter what I'd tried, I was always so tempted to cheat. This is what I like about Lipotrim, it's so strict that there is no opportunity to cheat. If you follow the diet to the letter, you WILL lose weight. I found, over 4 months, I lost 8 stone (from 21.5 to 13.5 stone) as a 6'1 man. I highly recommend Lipotrim but bear in mind, it's not easy. Stay focused and don't divert from the plan and keep your will power strong and it will work for you.
My only advise, avoid the flapjacks! :)

Be extremely careful, go in with your eyes WIDE OPEN

Lipotrim helped me at a time when I needed it most. I was having difficulty losing weight and this took all the stress and thinking away for me. Does it work? Of course it does.
What I never expected was that damage that is caused me not long after that & I am still suffering 10yrs on. Lipotrim rightly give you a refeeding plan. What it doesn’t inform you of is that the calorie deficit you experience during the weight loss (426 cals a day for 6 months) triggers your natural bodies defence systems .... known as metabolic adaptation (which can I be clear about doesn’t just apply to lipotrim, it’s any diet you undertake... it’s what you’ll know as the plateau). What I’m talking about is a extreme version of this plateau a devastating life consequence of a quick fix, that leaves lasting complications and is difficult to reverse depending on the severity.
The metabolic adaption can incorporate nutritional thermogenic adaptation, which in turn creates a fitness tolerance beyond what most would consider a normal.
It’s took nearly 5yrs for me to find out what’s wrong with me. Why I can’t maintain my weight, why I can manage on ridiculously low calories and still gain weight, and why I can train like an athlete but never seen any change. Lipotrim makes your bodies defence systems stronger ... you become very energy efficient (great if your a car) your BMR becomes lower than the general calculations out there, so if you want to lose weight again, you calories need to be even lower. Lower your calories!!! just reinforces the defence systems created by the calorific deficit experienced from the dramatic drop it encountered on the lipotrim... your body is trying to protect itself, from there on in storing every calorie regardless of how low you think you can safely go. You don’t just lose fat on lipotrim, you lose your lean muscle mass, you know the stuff that really burns the calories. I have now developed abdominal fat, which I never had before. Your storage not only changes but increases to preserve your life. It’s made the last 6 years of my life hell and I wish I’d never heard of it. Metabolic adaptation has only been noted in the last ten years here’s a quote from “fat loss forever”

There are three main factors that will determine how strong the activation of the self-defense system will be:
1. The severity of the energy deficit.
2. How long the deficit is imposed.
3. How frequently the deficits are imposed.
It’s important to clarify that not all diets have the same impact on this system. We don’t want you to be petrified of trying to lose weight, or to simply assume that any weight loss attempt is futile. They aren’t futile, but they need to be planned correctly and executed correctly, or there’s a high likelihood you’ll be no better off than when you started—or, in many cases, you’ll actually be worse off than when you started.

Sadly this is me and I know I don’t stand alone. Does it work?? Of course ... at what price?? It has been too high for me.
Speak to the lipotrim advisor they are always on hand to help, ask them directly can this happen, be informed before don’t have regrets.

Thank you Lesa for your review and we are sorry to hear you have struggled with your weight both before and after using Lipotrim successfully. Excess weight and obesity is indeed a chronic issue to which weight loss corrects only part. The ability to maintain weight at a correct level is the fundamental issue faced by all who carry excess weight and the difficulty already proven by the need to lose weight.

We appreciate your concerns on weight loss as a whole, as you have stated your views relate to all diets. It is a shame that you have taken the course of action to single out Lipotrim using a Trustpilot review rather than discuss these issues in depth.

The mass of dieting myths, pseudo-science and quackery is what we at Lipotrim attempt to tackle each and every day. Our fully trained healthcare professionals, pharmacists and GPs who oversee all Lipotrim patients, work hard to deliver weight loss and weight management success in a healthy manner, backed by science and research. Inherently, as healthcare professionals, we have a duty to also act as a reliable source of factual education.

One irrefutable statement is that Lipotrim and other nutritionally complete, true VLCDs do not cause the body to lose lean body muscle. They are by definition protein sparing modified fasts, with safety and effectiveness proven and well documented in research covering many decades.

It is well known that we have a “Diet mode” when losing weight, so metabolic changes are a recognised and potentially neutral aspect of weight loss, irrespective of dieting method. Metabolic adaptation is hypothesised to have a baring on an individual’s capability to maintain weight post weight loss but research has already shown that levels of metabolic adaptation may have previously been grossly overestimated. In any case a universal law of physics cannot be denied, that is “energy can neither be created nor destroyed”. Calories consumed are either used or stored and they cannot just appear without consumption.

It is with regret that you may be basing your ideas on the publication “Fat Loss Forever” as quoted. We are sure the authors will be happy for the mention.

Arguments such as these can resonate, especially for individuals like yourself who are struggling with excess weight over many years.

Lipotrim is a true Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD) and is governed by EU and British law. It is offered only by fully trained healthcare professionals.

As you state positively, we are indeed here to answer each and every question regarding weight loss and obesity, using the expertise of our participating healthcare professionals and the Lipotrim team; including a registered Nutritional Biochemist, research scientist and pharmacist.

We welcome any requests for information and references on research related to these topics – call +44 (0) 1223 812812.

Good weight loss, terrible food.

I have been doing it for a week and I have lost 6kgs and that is great, however, I find it a struggle and the shakes and food are mostly unpalatable. The shakes make me feel sick and I cannot face them, the “flapjacks” are almost inedible, took me 30 minutes two eat two of them.

The chicken soup is the only thing that I can stomach.

I feel very run down and weak all the time and it is a struggle to keep on the diet as there is nothing exciting or motivating about the food.

I am on the verge of swapping to something else because all I have to eat is chicken soup, day in, day out.

Well done with the superb weight loss this first week and thank you for the feedback.
The programme is designed to create the conditions as close to food abstinence as possible. There is a critical nutritional requirement for health which is why the formulas are fully nutritious but are made to be bland so that you are no longer reminded of food. It is the detachment from food that helps make the programme successful. This may take a few more days to sink in.
The modification of lifestyle which is needed for weight maintenance after any weight loss, diet or otherwise, is pushed to the fore by the (desired) lack of food excitement or motivation.
I recommend you call our helpline 0800 413 735 so we can discuss your individual needs/issues and find a suitable course of action to help you reach your goal.

My lipotrim journey

Over the last 27 years, I must have lost over 30 stones, putting it all back on again. I became the typical yoyo dieter. I can be so single minded and focused, but the instant something doesn't go my way, all bets are off and I reach for my go to comfort food of cheese!
After having a raging thirst for a couple of weeks, a nagging worry plagued me, so on 5th November I sneaked downstairs and tested my blood sugar on my husband's glucose monitor.
The shock when I saw 16.6 on the screen was indescribable. I WAS DIABETIC and I was killing myself!
That was the push I needed and my LIPOTRIM journey started right that minute. No thinking about it, no planning just straight in.
My weight was exactly 18 stones, and I managed to squash my bulk into size 26 clothes.
24 weeks later I have lost over 7 stones and fit nicely into size 12. My BMI had dropped from morbidly obese down to healthy weight. I have reversed the diabetes, and my blood pressure is now well within the normal range.
I managed Christmas/ New year period, 2 family birthday celebrations, a dinner party at home, Valentines day, Easter, lunch out with my mother ever Saturday and last Monday, my husband's birthday. It's taken so much grit and determination. Be under no illusion, this isn't easy by any stretch of the imagination - in fact it's probably the toughest thing I have ever done.
I have never tried the flapjack bars so I can't comment on those. The shakes are fine, the volume of water can be challenging, but its a good habit to get into
Peppermint tea is nice for a change and I've started to drink my black coffee quite weak, but I've never felt unwell, have so much energy and in a much nicer person - when I was big, I really didn't like myself and took it out on everyone around me
Being completely blunt, constipation can be an issue, but a couple of senna sorts things like that out (Sorry if that's TMI)

Would I recommend lipotrim? In a heartbeat - but only if you are serious about losing weight and prepared to make the sacrifices

Does it work? Absolutely, if you stick to it 100%

Lipotrim is a game changer

Lipotrim is a game changer for a serial dieter and quitter like me.

For the past 10 or so years I have been swinging up and down the same stone bracket . During that period a healthy weight was a distant dream. After 11 weeks on Lipotrim I am 3 stone lighter and very close to my healthy NHS weight.

Lipotrim demands mind control and determination. You must be in the right frame of mind to do it as it is TOUGH. Week 1 is very hard as you battle mind and body to get into ketosis. Once you’re through that first week each weigh-in is a morale boost like no other. Seeing the pounds melt away is amazing. You learn a lot about your own mind and relationship with food too – so it’s not just the weight loss that is beneficial. I think this diet is empowering.

The support and expertise from Lipotrim is exceptional from the beginning through to refeed and beyond. They are there on the phone or by email if you need anything.

I felt it was a safe and effective way to lose weight. It sounds extreme as you consume just over 400 calories a day but actually ketosis uses your fat as energy so you don't feel bad as long as you drink 3-4 litres of water - in fact I have felt energetic and clear headed. I have told all my friends and family about how amazing it is & I have inspired 3 different people to change their diets just from their seeing how happy and healthy I am now.

When I begin eating again I’m under no illusions that I need apply the lessons learnt about myself & relationship to food. I need to be in control just like I was in control on Lipotrim. It’s not rocket science that if I go back to my old ways I’ll put weight on again. That’s not Lipotrim’s fault as some people claim. The refeeding and living life after Lipotrim is down to you and your choices. Lipotrim is the vehicle that gets you to a destination somewhere along the road – the rest of the journey is up to you!

Lipotrim is 100% recommended!
