has anyone done Bodytrim? i keep seeing ads for it, and went onto the website, but i still don't understand quite what it's all about :redface:
so, if anyone has done it..
what is the process? does it just tell you what to eat - or is there meds involved?
did it work?
was it sustainable?

Hi Renee,
I haven't done it personally, but a gf of mine did it. She had the last 5 kg to loose of 'baby belly' but couldn't shift it, so tried Body Trim. There are no meds - it is all food eating & they tell you what to eat. She did the original program & I am certain the first three days are protein ONLY. Then you go on a weight loss plan then maintenance once you have reached goal. She lost the 5 kgs after her second pg & her last pg & has kept it off.
DH just got it. It's $160 for a book which explains everything you should do, recipes and dvds. As the PP said, the first three days are protein - no fruit or veg at all either. We expected it to be something different. Whether or not it works, I don't know for DH because he's not a reader to begin with.
I just got it. Hope it works! Gonna give it my all :)

I've been wondering about this too. The claims are pretty sensational - losing 5kg in the first week!
I don't think it would be ok to do when breast feeding though (which i currently am).
Would be good to hear a bit more about it.
Big W has it for sale off the shelf, I saw it at QV yesterday.
I don't really know what it's about. I'd thought it was along the lines of cohens or sureslim but doesn't sound like it to me.
I've been thinking of trying this too. I did hear it wasn't any tablets or shakes or anything, so I thought I'd have a look on ebay for it. not sure how strict with myself I can be though, especially if I have to cook myself something different to everyone else. ITMS.
I saw this on tv this morning and went to the website but can't find any information without signing up. I'm not signing up because they'll send me a whole heap of spam :rolleyes:
Has anyone here tried it? Can you tell me about the program, what you eat, how much it costs etc? Is it a monthly fee?
There's another thread on this.
You can buy it at big w, the book/DVD etc
I thought there might be another thread but I couldn't find one.
I'm on iPhone so can't work out how to link it. It's title is bodytrim anyone?

There you go. Although, this thread doesn't really give much more info about it. No-one really seems to know what's involved except the first 3 days are protein only. The rest is a mystery!
Go to Big W and check out the book. DH bought it direct from bodytrim and what they send you is exactly the same as the Big W pack. It's expensive and DH has never used it, opened the book on the first day and that's it. :rolleyes: Oh and he gets text messages occasionally to motivate him. So the best advice I can give is to go and have a look at it and see if it's something you can follow, without doing as DH did and fork out the big bucks for something he didn't use and then didn't bloody return.
Can you tell it's a sore point here :ROFL:
Tinks my sister is doing it atm, she has lost 12kg so far. I will ask her about it tomorrow and get back to you with details etc.
My aunt, uncle and BIL have all lost loads of weight using Body Trim. Yes you can lose 5kgs in the first week but a majority of that is retained fluid - which is explained to you in the dvd.
I actually purchased it after having DD2 and had big plans to start using it and then found myself pregnant with DD3. I am planning to start it after DD3 has weaned. I have done Cohens before and lots loads of weight doing that and Body Trim is a kinder version of Cohens. The best thing about it is you eat food - real food!
Ok heres how it works.
You're alowed 100grams of protein only for meals and 50grams of protein for snacks. You eat once every 1 to 3 hours as needed. You should never feel hungry.
So you have a protein only breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack. You are only alowed protein for the very first phase (totaling 3 days) no carbs nothing...
Then you go into weight loss mode.
You keep the concept of eating small meals, protein servings. You only add one slice of bread per day (must be wholemeal/grain) for breakfast only. At lunch and (I think) dinner you are alowed to add salad and veggies to your meal. Salad is unlimited. Some veggies are only alowed once every 3 days (eg carott!) you get a free day for every 6 days of the program you complete, then go onto a protein only day the day after. The day after your protein only day you go back to the 6 day program!
You continue eating like this until your happy with your weight.
Then you move onto maintenance.
You get two options. Hunter or gatherer Which gives you am extra free day. Or carb lovers. Which gives you an extra serve of carbs each day!
Hope this info helps!
Hmmm, sounds too much like Atkins to me. Too much protein and not enough carbs isn't good for you in the long term.
Might just stick to my healthy balanced diet :)
Mummasue- my doctor actually recommended it to me.:
It's basically all about portion control. And balancing a healthy lifestyle. Body trim isn't a diet as such, it's a way of life.
And you can eat carbs on it. I have multigrain toast for breakfast every day apart from one day a week which I detox :)
I have lost 1.4 kilos in 6 days! And it's showing!! (and I'm on clomid and have af-so I'm currently bloated from that, but it doesn't look bloated at all!!! Iykwim!)

Cool, whatever works.:
I eat when I'm hungry and stop when I feel full and have lost heaps of weight that way too. :D
BIL & SIL tried it a few years ago and it really worked for them, can't remember how much they lost but it had been about 6months since we seen them and it showed.
We've thought about giving it a try and have just never gotten around to getting it, looking on their site didnt get us anywhere and watching the ad on TV just makes me laugh because of Jeff's name.
I think it's pretty clear that she's saying her experience (which was the question asked in the OP) ... and I'm not sure where surgery comes into it??:
:
lol Oookay.
We are all allowed to talk about any feedback about anything here, welcome to Belly Belly - where we talk and share experiences!
Good work on wanting to lose weight without surgery... Maybe you should try BodyTrim... it being a diet programme and not surgical at all...
Where did anyone mention that body trim was to do with surgery? It's a healthy alternative to surgery and things like shakes. It's real food. In moderation.:
And we are all giving feedback as to what this program has done for us to help us to succeed in weight loss.
Anyways I'll certainly be starting back on it after this bub is born and also after breastfeeding. :)

I have a friend who's doing it just now, she's breastfeeding. I didn't think that was allowed and it says so on the site so I've emailed them clarification because my friend seems to think that it was ok. Does anyone else know?
I'm pretty sure you shouldn't be on bodytrim whilst breastfeeding. I have asked bodytrim and they have said it's not recommended.

ahaah After reading this forum im thinking i dont even need to buy bodytrim, you guys all told me exactly what to do.
Cheers for saving me a buck :):p
There's a lot more to it but good luck :) x:

I think its pretty good - only recently started though. The first three days is hell, but after that its pretty easy and definitely more of a lifestyle change than a real diet. Very little is excluded, and with the free day each week you are never going to long before you can indulge in something "naughty" but still make progress with your weight loss.
There is a forum (isn't there one for everything!!) on the Bodytrim website, and I don't think you need to sign up for the program to get access to the forum. It is brilliant for ideas, support etc.
FWIW, according to chat on the forum its almost unheard of to lose 5kgs in the first week depite Bodytrim's claims, and they do refund your money no questions asked, so wait until they've got one of those guarantees going again before you buy it.
I've done it before and it worked well for me. I find it easier than say Atkins as you get that bit of carbs in the morning which helps me get rid of my cravings for it.
I have to say, I didn't follow the first 3 days to a tea 9I ate salads and veges etc (how bad can they be seriously!). And I still lost weight (this was before baby though, and I am told baby weight is harder to lose:(
