Lipotrim Pharmacy Programme

 

At Farmers' Pharmacies we provide patients with information on helping them improve their health and wellbeing. We run the Lipotrim Weight Loss Programme where patients can achieve their goal weight under the supervision of a Pharmacist and fully trained staff.


Types of diet:

The Lipotrim diet is extremely successful in helping patients achieve their goal weight.

There are two types of diet available to patients.

*      Total Food Replacement (TFR)
*      Maintenance Programme

 

How it works:

Total food replacement is a nutritionally complete diet where all your food is replaced by low fat nutritional sachets. This diet works by creating a Calorie Gap (the difference betweeen the calories you use and the calories you eat). In order to make up this calorie difference the body's reserves of fat and sugar are drawn on to meet the body's needs. In this way body weight is lost. You will not be hungry on this diet. Ketones are released when the body burns fat and these ketones blunt hunger when in circulation in the body.

This is a very effective, safe method of losing weight. Women WILL lose at least a stone per month while men WILL lose at least a stone and a half.

 

How to start this diet:

 

  • You must complete a medical screening form. If you have certain medical conditions you may need to see your GP to ensure it is safe for you to start the diet.
  • You must watch a DVD before starting the diet and you must leave a 2 day gap between getting the DVD and starting the diet. This is to ensure you are serious about succeeding with this diet.
  • If accepted, you must return to the pharmacy every week for a weigh in and you will be dispensed you next week's supply of TFR sachets.

 


If you feel this diet is right for you, please feel free to drop in and speak with our pharmacist or fully qualified staff. You will start the feel the benefits of this diet after the first couple of days. Some of the benefits include feeling less bloated, improved quality of sleep, reduced joint pain to mention but a few.

Lipotrim products are only available to buy from pharmacies participating in the Pharmacy Programme and the weekly cost is generally less than the cost of ordinary food bills.

 


Different sized products are available for men and women. The range comprises:

  • Drinks - vanilla, strawberry or chocolate
  • Chicken soup
  • Flapjacks - coconut or peanut butter flavours (both varieties contain peanuts)

The Maintenance Programme was developed to help patients maintain their weight loss once they had achieved their goal weight on TFR. However it is also a very suitable diet for those patients who have a few pounds to lose and feel they would not be compliant with the TFR diet. The Maintenance sachets are low in fat, sugars and calories and high in fibre. Therefore weight loss is achieved by creating a calorie gap like with TFR and due to the high fibre content, you remain feeling fuller for longer.

Maintenance sachets are best used in conjunction with a balanced, healthy, calorie controlled diet.

 

How to start this diet:

The Maintenance diet is not as strict as TFR so you can walk into our pharmacy and buy the Maintenance sachets over the counter. However we have found that patients are more successful if they come in each week and have a weigh in and, in that way, their weight loss is monitored more accurately.

The Lipotrim Maintenance range comprises:

  • Chocolate Whip Dessert
  • Orange Creme Drink
  • Summer Fruits Drink
  • Cream of Vegetable Soup
  • Caramel Flavoured Bar
