Disadvantages: Kinda tough for the first 3 days

Hi, I started the lipotrim diet last year, and was on it for 6 weeks. In that time I lost over 2 stone, I was thrilled! I got off it and gained 6 pounds back, but all in all that's not too bad! My advice if you want it:
1) DO NOT CHEAT. If you do, you're putting yourself through this for nothing, because you will undo all your hard work.
2) Get plenty of fresh air as well, so that you will be naturally tired in the evenings, enabling you to get to sleep faster. Your body will feel great for getting so much sleep, and your urge to snack after your evening shake won't have the opportunity to arise.
3) Eat your last shake close (1-2 hours) to your bedtime. Feels great going to bed full.
4) Take a bath in the evenings with candles, etc. Just relax. (This was esp helpful when my boyfriend was making dinner in the kitchen, I didn't have to smell the food cooking, or watch him eat it!) When he started fixing dinner, I made a bee-line for the tub.
5) Reward yourself on your progress. Buy the CD you've wanted for ages, book yourself in a spa treatment -whatever you feel like doing. You will feel like you're at the top of the world, trust me!
6) Drink water water water, but not over 3 L a day, there is a thing as too much water, and you're body has to get used to consuming that much, esp if you don' t normally drink it.
7) On the third day you'll feel a bit woozy, don't worry, its normal. It's carbohydrate withdrawl, it's the turning point in which your body starts to consume it's fat reserves. Just take it easy on that day. Don't climb a mountain or anything!
I hope this has been helpful- just one more thing- if you ever get to the point where you thiink- !"£$ this, i've got to eat! - Just remember that you can, you can go off the diet (in stages- refeeding stage is VERY imp or you'll gain it back) whenever you want, you are in complete control. This helped me anyway, because it gave me the seat of power back, and I chose to stay on it. very happy with the results!

Summary: Keep yourself going on it, you'll get through it, it's not forever!
