The average person uses about 2000 Calories each day. During the Lipotrim programme more energy is used up than is taken into the body. This means that the body's reserve stores of sugar and fat are drawn to meet the body's needs, hence body weight is lost. You are not actually living on reduced Calories; you are only changing the place the Calories come from.

It is impossible for people who are complying with the diet not to lose weight. The body needs  about 800 Calories just to keep the body temperature up.

First week - average 7lbs, but this can be considerably higher - large fluid losses from utilisation of body glycogen and dumping of oedema fluid.

Subsequent weeks - expect about:
Men - 3-5lbs per week
Women - 2-4lbs per week
