Things that made my first week fly in...

[CarrieS]

right, as the tea goes its a tricky one. Green tea is allowed if it's only pure with no flavourings (it's also great for the metabolism and can apparently help shift the pounds). Doesn't taste too bad but takes a while to get used to. I'm gutted cos I'm dying for some earl grey tea but can't have it as it has bergamot flavouring. Any tea that is 100% in the ingredients is ok as long as the flavour isn't from a berry, fruit or flower.

In the lipotrim video I watched it says you are allowed Earl Grey Tea and my pharmacist said you could also. Need to clarify this as i like it myself.

 

[daynurse]

Any leaf tea is OK, and what happened to BlackRose?

Hi,
I am just into my second week and have a a couple of questions.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

1. If you drink more water does it help you lose weight quicker?

2. If you cannot stomach all three of your Lipotrim shakes is it detrimental to weight loss and if so why?

Many Thanks,

Jo

Hi Jo
The water question is ansered in this thread by the lovely Toni's research http://www.minimins.com/lipotrim-forum/40628-why-drink-so-much-water-answers.html
And yes you MUST drink all your shakes...doesnt matter how but you must
I use mine as coffee whitener as i am a caffine addict lol you can pace them out or have them all together it doesn't matter but you do need all 3 to get the essentail nutriants your body needs to survive and not go into total starvation mode... If you don't have them you will become very weak and could feel v poorly x There is minimal cals, crbs etc in the shakes around 181 per shake any less would be tooo less!!

Hi All,

On 4th day and doing fine. I have tried all the different flavours. However, I like them hot so therefore I make up the peppermint tea hot and put the chocolate shake in to make hot peppermint chocolate. I bought a hand blender that cost £4 from Asda and it mixes them up really fast.

2nd day

Hi everyone, this is the first time I've ever used a forum so apols if is boring and i don't know all the short cuts for spelling!!

Anyway I'm on day 2 of LT and was seriously thinking how the hell was I going to stick with this for more than a week!! Just read the thread and some great ideas about coffee being added and making it hot etc etc so will try those to try and add a bit of variety. Not too hungry but peeing for England due to the amount of water I am drinking, but I suppose that's good.

Been doing some research ont tinternet and found out that caffeine helps to burn fat (hence why I think the boffins at LT tell you not to cut down on your normal intake), also green tea (which is a leaf tea) helps to get rid of toxins and is very good at aiding weight loss. I've found some green tea with mint at Tesco's (Jacksons of Picadilly make).

Thought I would join the forum cos I def need some moral support. Typical that the first 2 week I start LT I have 5 social occasions to attend. Think I'm going to have to say I have a tummy bug so I can't drink my usual copious amounts of alcohol/food as I find people can be quite vocal and judgemental about what they perceive to be a fad diet!!

Don't know how to do all the tickers etc yet but FYI I weighed in at 12st 3 and want to get to 9st 10ish (I'm 5ft 6in tall).

thanks for your support

Viki

Vicki, my stats are similar to yours. I am on Day 4 of this diet AGAIN. I did 7 days last week and then binge. I started again on Monday and today is my struggle day, tired and low and ready to have a good ol' munch. I won't though cos this is a great diet as long as you stick to it like glue. WEll done you and I know what you mean about judgemental people. Some just don't want to know anything different. I did this diet last year and lost and stayed slim till Christmas when I binged, day in and day out. I can do with this time of discipline, cos I had not one bit after Christmas. I think I need to sleep but I have three kids, 13 down to 4 and they are having a good ol' fight as I type.

Gotta Go

Keep shakin
