Thread: What can you drink on Exante

I think the most common question on here is what drinks can we have - its been asked about a dozen times today

SOOOO how bout we make a list

If you have anything else to add copy and paste the most recent list and add yours


Rule of thumb when it comes to soft drinks is anything with NO citric acid...
and, so it would seem, NO lactic acid

Tea
Coffee
Coke Zero
Asda Diet Coke
Dr Pepper Zero
Bouillon
Green Tea
Peppermint Tea
tescos own strawberry water
Sainsburys strawberry and kiwi sparkling water
Asda Cola Zero (No Citric Acid and even better no aspartame)
Sainsbury's Flavoured Still Water (Raspberry & Cranberry, Peach, Apple & Blackberry)
Sainsbury's Diet Cola (No Citric Acid or Aspartame)
Sainsbury's Classic Diet Cola (No Citric Acid or Aspartame)
Sainsbury's Classic Zero (No Citric Acid or Aspartame)

hi,
ASDA Cream Soda is OK? Great news, I love it. I asked once before and was told no. Can't remember at the moment which acid is in it, I know it's not citric. Are we sure that this is OK>

You know, Im not convinced about lactic acid, 2 people have posted today about it and said they believe its ok but I cant find anything online about it. Hmmm personally id be reluctant to chance it unless I knew for sure....

Id prefer to stick with things that have malic acid, since I know for sure thats ok

thank you :-)

"Lactic acid fermentation is a biological process by which sugars such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose, are converted into cellular energy and the metabolic byproduct lactate." (wikipedia)

glucose and sucrose will definitely throw you out of ketosis

yo have have green and peppermint teayoo and Boullion

I think the idea of one post listing all drinks that are ok is a fabulous one as I get really bored drinking the same thing and have already hit my limit on coffee intake for the day and it is only 9am!

Are there any safe flavoured waters - I have seen various posts about those but some are ok and some not (my mum is struggling with plain water intake so want to give her a shopping list of alternatives for when she goes to the supermarket later today!).

I picked up some of tescos own strawberry water, its got malic acid which is okay

and the multipack cans of coke zero are bogof! (tesco)

Hi,

I noticed today while in Tesco's that their Own brand Apple water has the same ingredients as their strawberry water. Contains Malic acid not citric acid.

Anyone seen this? Assume its OK if strawberry one is?

Just trying to prepare as starting TS on Monday. Packs arrived today....

Cheers
Al

Asda sell Perfectly Clear red apple sparkling water and this has Malic acid in it. 95p a bottle

I only mentioned the strawb cause it was the only one I checked... If its malic acid (no citric acid!) then its ok. Good luck with Exante, Al xx

How much flavoured water can u drink?

Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I dont think theres a limit. I have all my water with water flavouring in it

This whole citric acid thing, there is no real research about it, and more likely to stop children that were put on the diets for medical reasons to stop them drinking loads of pop!
