Thanks so much for contacting lipotrim and asking! Great to know that our additives are okay. If I couldn't drink my shakes with coffee, I don't think I'd be able to stay on this diet. I am really wearing thin on the soup, but the coffee and vanilla shake and coffee and chocolate shake, I am grand with. I've started not to want the third packet of the day--which is soup for me. And I am not hungry enough to eat it. So lately I've been doing 2 packets a day some days. Which I should really stop doing. But I am still sticking with the diet, and am determined to keep going. Good luck everyone! I know we can do this!
