Advantages: Don't have to decide what to eat
Disadvantages: I miss food
I am on my second time with Lipotrim, the first being some years ago. I am now in week two having lost 9 1/2lbs the first week. I have just had my weigh in today & lost a further 5lbs which makes a total of 1st & 1/2lb. So now about to commence week 3. I have to admit it has been hard work as I work shifts so when I feel tired it is more like exhausted!! I have half a peanut flapjack in the morning for my breakfast & the other half for my morning break when on days & when I am on nights I save the half for during the night. All other meals are chocolate shakes. I do not on at other times when I am not on a diet drink milk as I don't like it so I do not like strawberry as it tastes like a milk shake to me & I don't like the taste of vanilla anyway but I quite like the chocolate shake & get by on this.
I only ever drink hot water with a lemon slice in it, with the very odd black coffee now & then so leaving off the drinks wasn't too bad although I am missing my slice of lemon. At night I change from drinking hot water to bottled water usually in a wine glass to make it that bit special.
I have had to grit my teeth a few times over the last two weeks & just be downright stubborn or I would have gone back to food in an instant. I feel it is a bit like giving up smoking (although I have never been a smoker, only a foodaholic! ) I have easily 5st to lose but I have holidays looming in 25 days so I have to get round that & hope to enjoy my hols sensilbly & get back on it with a vengance which I know will be extremely hard.
Summary: Feeling baggy clothing spurs me on

- 16/07/09 GG, Yes thanks for the advice. I tried the F Plan once but didn't take to it unfortunately but when I do come off it I will be going on a sensible eating plan as one this diet does teach you is to appreciate food. You could not imagine how good a piece of cucumber smells at the moment!!
Teena, one thing that you may not appreciate is for a foodaholic is that it is like being a kid in a sweetie shop. I cannot trust myself. I was brought up believing I was fat anyway & when I look back at pics no way was I even chubby. So for me it is about self image & thinking I was fat anyway. A lot of psychological problems I think. One thing that this diet has done for me is to prove to myself that I have willpower as no one sticks on this diet without it, soon I will have to transfer this to a sensible eating plan. I have done it mostly to give me an inital boost & it is doing just that. |

- 03/07/09 Can I recommend the F-Plan Diet? It's healthy, nutritious, you get to eat plenty on it, and once your body gets used to it, the weight simply drops off - plus only moderate to slight exercise is needed on it. Also, after this diet, you're more likely to keep the weight off. You might be able to get the books (published in the very early 1980s) on somewhere like Amazon, or in a charity shop. Once the not expensive initial outlay of buying the books and the food needed is done, it's also a very cheap diet to follow. |

You are starving yourself, of course you are shedding weight. But you are not learning about healthy eating and exercise. Paying £36 per week is horrendous. Think how much healthy food you could buy for that money. The only way to long term weight loss is healthy eating and exercise. Starving yourself slim is not healhty. |
