Hi, Lipotrim is the controversial weight-loss program nicknamed the no-food diet as it replaces meals with nutrient-complete formula drinks. After a few days, the body becomes accustomed to the regime and those on the program no longer feel hungry. This method is not a healthy way to lose weight since it starves the body,alters metabolism and will cause weight gain once the diet is stopped and hence it is not a permanent method of maintaining normal weight. It will also cause hair loss,headache and stress as side effects and I would suggest your mother not to undergo the same method again. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Saranya Ramadoss, General & Family Physician
