Such an embarrassing question but I'm starting the Lipotrim (milkshake) diet on monday and I was wondering if you can swallow semen on it. Way too embarrassed to ask my pharmacist!!
I was just wondering as I read somewhere about semen being a protein, but I suppose, the Lipotrim is based on Ketosis so I'm sure protein isn't gonna harm it!

Also, you haven't met my pharmacist. He's really creepy and doesn't approve of me being on this at all. Haha, thanks guys!

I work in a chemist and we do a product called Lipotrim. its basically a gloryfied atkins diet as you replace food with protein shakes. it helps you lose weight.
i want to loose some body fat from my stomach to help me tone up. if i replaced all my meals this way what bodily problems would i encounter? i know i would go into ketosis and have ketone (bad) smelling breath.

thanks
i would increase water intake to give my kidneys a bit of a rest and take some vitamin and mineral suppliments.

Hi, so my friend went on a low (no carb really) carb diet and the doctor said when there are no carbs, your body switches to ketosis, and attacks body's fat reserves for energy.. so... just mathematically speaking, if as an average weight, average height female i need around 2200 calories per day to stay alive, walk around, do basic things, and my body is in ketosis, does it use ANY of the calories from teh food i eat? cause i'm thinking, if there are no carbs in my diet, the giant fat and protein molecules (which is all i'm eating) can't get broken down easily, since there are no sugars and carbs to be used for fuel... so does that mean my body will ignore what's in my stomach? all or some of its calories? and does that mean that if all of it is ignored, my body is burning 2200 calories a day for fuel from my body fat? it 'would' make sense, since my friend was losing about 2/3lb per day (one lb is 3500), 2200/3500 = approx 2/3
please shed some light, thank you!
Hi AliciaR
Yes, it's actually the Atkin's diet, phase 1 (induction)... for 2 weeks you eat no more than 20g of carbs per day..
so i bought these jumbo wieners, each has 2 grams.. so i can eat 10 of those a day
eggs have 0.3, so you can eat like 67!
some luncheon meats, chicken, beef, fat, olive oil, mayo have zero, so u can eat unlimited..
my first 3 days on the diet i lost 7lbs, and i would have lost more if i drank more water (you have to, or you'll get constipated w/o any veggies).. but yes, look online at foods or read labels.. hidden carbs EVERYwhere.. as long as 20g or less, you're golden
i honestly forget when i start the diet, it's not a diet, i eat like a PIG, a plate full of bacon, cheeses, as long as you eat no carbs, there's no quantity limit
look into it, it's actually a sweet lifestyle! butter, cream, all kinds of meat, it's like, everything in a sandwitch, minus the bread LOL!

I'm a 20 year old male who has been on and off atkins. I have lost 70 lbs and kept it off for over 2-3 years, and now I've gotten back on to shed a few pounds Ive gained over the past months to get back in shape and feel good. My question is, since my body is in ketosis and is using fat for fuel, what happens if I take in for example 5-6 g. of carbs total by eating some cheese? Even though my body is in ketosis, and it's said that it will continue that way until I go above a pretty decent amount of carbs (20g is the rule of thumb given in Atkins books). Again, I'm curious as to what will happen with those carbs, and just exactly happens (I understand the process of ketosis, I just don't understand the relationship between diets that are low in fat/loads of carbs and low-carb/no fat. I always thought of it as if you mix em' you're screwed). Will the carbs I take in during ketosis be burned off as well and be negated or will they just turn to extra fat and end up being burned of anyhow?
It is a repost, and noone answered it, but I still haven't found any real description of what exactly happens. I'm interested in know what happens to carbs once they are inside a body in a state of ketosis thanks

Hi, Ive been on the Lipotrim diet since Wed, so Im just over day 3. How will I know I am in ketosis, I dont have the ketostix, the testers for ketosis, so is there any other signs that i might notice. I heard bad breath and a headache but are there more?
