Hi, I know when i did lipotrim TFR the first time I really believed that I had it sorted and would be slim forever.
I dont like the way lipotrim do the refeed and maintenace, like I did lipotrim for 13 weeks and then all of a sudden one week the shakes are taken off you and away you go into the world.
The lipotrim maintance shakes are rank and totally different to what you are used to. I think this is lipotrims biggest failure.
The cambridge diet allow you to gradually introduce foods and have a longer strategy, so you still use the same shakes and you start eating healthy foods.
I am on the New You Diet now and it has a wider range of meal choices so that you really feel like you are eating real food, and you can use these products when you get to maintenance. I think this is a big key to success is to have a period of 2-3 months after TOTAL food replacement, where you are still have some meal replacements.
I have asked a lot of people who have been successful in keeping it off and I think the main things you need to do are...
1. Do a long refeed still using meal replacements and counting every calorie of food.
2. Regular weigh ins - you need to stay focused on your weight and measure it
3. Take action - if the scales say you are putting on weight and you are up 2 pounds DONT IGNORE IT - REDUCE the calories you are eating and get the 2 pounds off before it spirals up to 20 pounds.
This is what I plan to do this time, and I am 100% getting rid of all my fat clothes, i held on to some the last time and that was stupid as I put on a bit of weight and then I just pulled out the old size 12 trousers. I dont have any size 14 trousers though so thats why I am taking action now, maybe if I didnt have size 12 trousers I would have taken action a long time ago!!
All in all TFR is great for losing weight but u do need to follow a strict healthy eating and lifestyle if u want to keep ur slim figure xox
