Thread: First Day! Any Advice?!

Hey, well,, today was my first day on the exante total solution!
I haven't found it too bad today, but I've heard it gets ALOT worse over the next couple of days
Does anyone have any advice or motivational words i could have?
Also, is there any way to make the soups and shakes less lumpy, or am I just doing them wrong?

Thankyou for any replies!!!
Jem

Hi Jem, congrats on taking the leap I'm on day 2 so in a similar boat to you.
Yesterday I had porridge which was yummy, a bar equally yummy and a veg soup which was rank!!!!! I scoured this forum for ideas to make the soups palatable and tonight I'm thrilled to report that I loved the tai soup!!!! I made it with extra water, chilli powder and salt and gave it a good blitz in the blender it tasted good but frothy soup is a little odd (but no lumps) so if you have any tips I'm all ears!!

Let me know how you get on

Hi! Day one for me too! Feeling ok so far and positive but like u a little worried that it's the calm before the storm. I guess since we are expecting it then we also know it will pass? )

Just keeping think positive and make sure you drink the amount of water they recommend as that apparently helps.

I use a hand blender for the soups and shakes and they turned out fine.

Good luck!!

The best advice I can give you is to get a blender and mix your shakes with ice as they are lush then.

Also keep the headache tablets handy. Good luck x

Hiya and welcome, yes blitzed iced shakes are the dogs..! Definitely get yourself a blender if you haven't got one, quite a few of us have a smoothie 2go. Makes this diet much more do-able imo

Agreed, smoothie 2go is really good, got mine yesterday

Fab isn't it!

Hey girls good luck on your journey. Getting past the first few days is difficult but it does get easier. Just drink loads and keep your chins up x

Good luck all! The first few days arent always easy, but if you can stick with it you'll see the results at your first weigh in There are all sorts of different things you can do with the shakes and soups, there are a few threads on here with loads of ideas I personally like freezing the shakes so theyre like icecream, and making porridge biscuits The soups I'm not a fan of, esp the tom&basil, but you'll find out as you go along what you like and what you dont, and can go from there then Good luck!

hiya and welcome all neewbies, I use a shaker for my cold shakes and a hand whisk for the soups, maybe i am not normal but i actually like everything apart from the chocolate shake! hope you all do well xx
KEEP UP WITH THE WATER!
