Yeah, £48 per week for me too. Men get 50% more powder, but one less shake a day... (go figure that one out!)
Didn't get a consultation fee though. Seems harsh...

Never heard of a "consultation fee" either - sounds a bit dodgy and cynical! I thought that the diet is a bit expensive compared to say Slim and Save but built into the cost is the more personal service from the chemist who provide support and advice and weekly weight recording....

Well... tried the 'chicken soup' flavour today. Gotta say, that's the funniest tasting chicken I ever tasted!
However...
Ground pepper+salt+curry powder+'chicken soup' shake = much better! There's something about having the shake hot in a bowl that (psychologically I guess) makes it feel more like a meal.

Hey there,
Great thread you have going here, seem to be dying out a bit at the minute!
I'm starting LT tomorrow morning.
i'm 21 years old, 22st looking to lose 5-7 stone. I'm feeling pretty confident i can handle to hunger/temptation but i am worried about excess skin, anybody got any advice/experience dealing with saggy skin.
Cheers

i've been wondering about this too.
just hope the skin shrinks over time.
if not, will have to cross that bridge when i am no longer a fatty!
Good luck bro!
let's keep this thread going.

I have read a lot about this and it appears that the biggest prediction factors in loose skin appear to be your genetics and your age, and the older you get i.e. into 50s and 60s the harder it gets. We must remember that skin is an organ, and so it adapts just like any other organ and it can resize and shape itself, but it just needs time and patience.
Here's an article with some really good advice i've accumulated about this topic over the past few years (as it used to bug me too but now I don't care). A very wise person I know said to me that it's better to be slim and have no fat with a little extra skin, than to be fat and have a bad health condition with all that extra skin! Thick clothing can hide the skin for the time that it takes to re-adjust (which it will do if you drink plenty of water, apply vitamin E creams like palmers, have lots of fish oils such as salmon, tuna or those cod liver tablets with omega 3, scrub your skin regularly to remove dead skin cells so new cells grow and adapt), etc etc

Totally agree with Bubz on this one, male or female it's something that bothers lots of us. I am one of those people, but like Bubz said I'd much rather be thinner and have extra skin 
One of those "cross that bridge when it comes to it" I guess For me it's one thing at a time, weight loss first, then deal with whatever comes next xx

I haven't tried the soup yet, but I'm a huge fan of curry/pepper so I'd be really keen to order some if thats the case and we're allowed to have it without messing things up

from what I have read - the answer is to stay on the side of caution and not do it (as some ingredients maybe counter-productive to your weight-loss (i.e. may reduce the effectiveness of the diet we are on)).
However, at the same time, there are countless people in this forum who have lost significant amounts of weight and added a few extra spices etc to the soup and shifted their weight... so it's probably not something set in stone.

Hi all, another "Bloke" to add to the LT diet ! I have set a realistic goal of 18 stone before I come off Lipotrim, I'm off to the US end of August so need to be back on
solids by then, I'm basically going to be on the LT diet for 4 weeks, currently just completed day 4.
I'm currently just shy of 21 Stone, I want to be 14 stone by June 2014, am I being too optimistic ?

Welcome to the Forum Mike, I think you and Lindo need to be buddies as you are both working to very similar time scales, same heights and weights! Well done on getting through the hard 3 days it will get much easier in the next few days! I am coming upto finishing week 5, cannot believe how time has flew!

Hola Mike,
welcome!
I'm new here too. Similar height/weight aspirations as you.
On Lipotrim, men can expect a 2lbs to 3lbs loss per week (on average let's say 2.5lbs a week).
Per month that is 10.83333 lbs. [worked out this way (2.5*52)/12]
10.83333 lbs is 0.77381 stone.
7 stone divided by 0.77381 stone per month is 9 months.
What are you planning after week 4?
That will be a factor in your weightloss rate.

Thanks for the welcome !
Well after week 4 im going to need to re-feed in time for my vacation
but it will have to be a calorie controlled diet with not too much fat intake
This is going to be short term whilst im away in AMERICA !! yes the worst
possible place to go for food portioning and unhealthy food.. I kmow becuase
on previous yearly visits I just trough til I cant stop.
This year I'm planning on grilled chicken or fish dishes and avoiding fast food,
stock up on healthy snacks such as nuts fruit and seeds.
I expect to put some back on.. its inevitable, but I'm going to try to leave food
on my plate from now on.
On my return to the UK i'll ease myself onto the lipotrim diet by just eating small
portions and salads on the few days run up to starting again. I found tht has
helped me this time round as I virtually starved myself for 3 days before going on LT.
Day 5, slight hunger pangs still.. usually when I smell food cooking
But.. Positive Mental Attitude..
My first ever diet too

Hello I did reply but that was hours ago and I guess im being moderated ?
After week 4 I'll need to re-feed slowly and then I know the states is going to potentially
be a "blip" although I'm planning great salads and chicken mostly, I'm sure I'll be putting some weight on !
But then after my fortnight away I'll be resuming Lipotrim up until christmas, see what I weigh a few weeks before
and if im happy come off again over the christmas break.
No doubt back on in the new year with a million others
