What You Should Know
Lipotrim is a range of food replacement meals. The concept on which Lipotrim and its ingredients are based was conceived by Howard Foundation Research Limited, a company that is based in England and promotes research into obesity. Dr Stephen Kreitzmam, a scientist and Managing Director of Howard Foundation Research Limited had a lot to do with formulating these replacement meals. The Lipotrim range of meal replacement products can only be used in conjunction with a family doctor or designated pharmacy based in either the United Kingdom or Ireland.
Ingredients
Although there is an official website it does not list the ingredients in the Lipotrim range of meal replacement products.
Product Features
Those who manufacture Lipotrim say that it is intended to be used by those who are clinically overweight and are serious about following a weight loss program. The meal replacement products consist of Chicken Soup or Vegetable Soup, Flavoured drinks and Flapjacks, which are available in either coconut or peanut butter flavour. The manufacturers say that the Lipotrim programme began in 1987 and, due to its success with family doctors, it was extended to designated pharmacies. If you live in either Ireland or the UK and want to follow this program you will need to have the permission of your family doctor, and you will need to meet with him or her regularly so that your progress can be monitored. Likewise, if you decide to follow the Lipotrim meal replacement program with a Pharmacy in the UK or Ireland you will need to have your progress regularly followed by the nominated pharmacy. The manufacturers say that if you are a male you can expect to lose “one and a half stone” in a month by following the Lipotrim meal replacement program and if you are a woman you can expect to lose “one stone” in a month.
Advantages
- There is an official website for the Lipotrim meal replacement products.
- This is a weight loss program that is monitored by a Family Doctor or a qualified pharmacist.
- The scientist who helped create the Lipotrim program is an expert in weight loss and obesity.
Disadvantages
- The Lipotrim weight loss meal replacement program can only be accessed in the UK or Ireland, severely limiting the program’s potential clientele.
- The products cannot be purchased on line.
- The manufacturers do not provide us with any concrete proof that Lipotrim actually works as claimed.
- There do not seem to have been any controlled standardized tests carried out on the Lipotrim meal replacement products.
Conclusion
The one thing evidently in favor of the Lipotrim meal replacement programme is that the person following it is carefully monitored by a family doctor or by a registered pharmacist. However if you are based outside the UK or Ireland you will be unable to access the program. Also, we are not provided with any concrete evidence that suggests that the meal replacement program is superior to other weight loss replacement meals, and therefore we cannot recommend it over and above similar weight replacement meals that are available in Ireland and the UK.

I was very upset with them, I tried to return the product I paid $24.95 for and cancel order because it upset my stomack, they billed me $149.83 because I didn’t get the bottle back to them in the 14 days, even though it took me that long to figure out that was my problem. I cancelled a day late and so they charged me. Your pills with cost you $149.83 per bottle, which is over the top.

what if you have high blood presure can you still use it
[Reply]
The Lipo trim will bring down your blood pressure. Remember you are doing this with a professional doctor or pharmacist so if its not for you they will be able to tell you. I just had my first weigh in today. 1 week in stone lost

I answered an offer to try Lipotrim for $4.95 shipping and gave my credit card. I received the product but later advised my credit card was charged $147.00. Thank goodness my bank called me. Any input on why this is a scam?
[Reply]
This happened to me also. I was told that the terms & conditions states this is a recurring charge unless the product is returned and the account is closed within 14 days.
[Reply]
This company is a sham -I was told the same thing -I am reporting them to Better Business Bureau.
[Reply]
This is not the same Lipotrim.

Hey there guys. I’m a 21 wear old girl from ireland and I’ve been on lipotrim almost 6 weeks. I’ve lost over two stone. Believ me it works! I look and feel fabulous and best of all it’s actually achievable! I’ve been going out a lot over the past two weeks (purely because i love wearing my fab new clothes) and everyone has commented on how fantastic i look. I even experienced guys fighting for my attention on the dance floor. That has never, ever happened to me before and it felt pretty good haha. I couldn’t recommend it more. Yes the first two weeks are the toughest but then it becomes fairly easy. Honestly, sayin no to food isn’t difficult cause you don’t crave it anymore. I’ll let you know how i get on after the refeed wk. Best of luck fellow skinnys

Hi Cecila, your email inspired me! I’m on day 2 but dying with headaches, any advice?
[Reply]
Have been on Lipotrim for 5 weeks and have lost 1.5 stones. Delighted. Works for me as allows detachment from food addictions. I hope to refeed next week and eat salads, soups and a little rye bread, stay away from cheese, fat and sugary foods. You need strong will power for first day or two. After that ketones kick in so that you are not hungry and become detached from food. You may need to take the fibre clear that you can buy with the product or take a laxative once or twice a week. Usually not necessary when you drink the recommended 2 litres plus of water. Not as bad as it sounds. Feel very well not deprived.

This is not the same stuff. The Lipotrim we are discussing here is a meal replacement programme available through your doctor or pharmacist. Products include shakes, flapjacks, soups, and follow-on foods. They do not include pills or supplements of any kind.

ive been on lipotrim 3 weeks tuesday off the 3rd week i ate the next day i went back to the programe and stuck to it i havent had much off aweight loss this week wyes that .im struggelling to keep on programe with not loosing much please help
[Reply]
I’m on my thrid day of Lipotrim. Its been really easy – must have an appetite suppressant in it else there’s no other explanation as to why this has been easier than trying to cut down normal eating habits. I tried it once before a year or so ago and lost 1 stone in 2 weeks. Have since put it back on – hence trying again in order to fit in my ski pants!
[Reply]
I don’t think there is an appetite suppressant as such. The formula puts you into ketosis which, after about 3 days, significantly lessens your appetite. It takes about a week before you can start ignoring your stomach growls, though.
[Reply]
I have started the Lipotrim about 3 days ago, I am constantly farting and constipated, What can help??
[Reply]
Hi,
You need to sip your water more consistently and don’t worry this gets less and less after day 5…. You are experiencing the detox stage. Expect a headache but don’t get turned off. My friend has lost 4 stone in 6 months and had 2 hols since…. She is very happy now but says the first week is very hard. Prove to yourself you are strong and look forward to a great weight loss… well done
