Strangely I found that doing CD (which is similar to Lipotrim) helped me manage my relationship to food far better than it ever did when I did either WW or SW. It will vary from person to person, but stepping away from food entirely for a while help me re-evaluate what I ate and - more importantly - why.
On all VLCDs (which aren't entirely liquid based as most have meal/foodbars too) food is gradually re-introduced in a controlled way so that weight isn't regained - providing the plans are followed properly of course.
I've done LOADS of diets in the past 20 years and regained every single time .. whether I lost 1-2 lbs per week using 'conventional' diets or more quickly using a VLCD.
The one important key difference I learned this time is that it doesn't matter which diet you use to lose weight, if you go back to eating/drinking the way you did before you began the diet you WILL regain the weight. Guaranteed!
I'm delighted to say that some 18 months after losing over 8 stone on CD that I'm almost exactly the same weight as I was when I reached my target.
Good luck to everyone! We all deserve to be slim and healthy regardless of which diet program we use to get there
