    How long to get back into Ketosis?

    Congrats to your son, i find personally no it doesnt take as long as there is only that 'meal' to break down, sometimes a few hours to a day for me personally. Its more the guilt of actually eating and being strong enough to get back on it once you have tasted food again x

    Weekend blues

    Wow i had mine last year and didnt want to be fat & 30! I was though ;) Anyhow, weeklies are there for a reason so you can still have a life, so go out and and have fun, save them for a night out. A vodka & diet coke is only 2 points there is alot of vodka to be having, or wine if thats your...

    Only 1lb :-(

    Quite easily to get disheartened, but maybe with the amount of exercise you have done and not eating your weeklies your body may have gone into starvation mode? And sadly with having just under a stone to loose it will be slower then people who have much more. Try and have your weeklies this...

However, on both plans, you can have almost any non-starchy vegetable in unlimited quantities, as well as “safe fruits.” The original Rotation Diet published in 1987 called for a “safe fruit” three times a day, but he has...

    At the end of the day we are all human, no one here is to judge eachother. Some days are harder then others, its strange how we put ourselves down and feel a failure by having an unplanned meal, whereas if you had said tomorrow i am going to have a pub lunch and then back on TS you would be...

    Supplements

    I agree to some extent, my body doesnt absorb the vitamin B12 from food or medication, therefore i have to have it injected quite often. I know the packs give us all we need, but maybe our bodies arent up to absorbing certains things?? x

    A day of 1st yesterday!

    Well yesterday was a first for headaches, feelings of hunger & a stomach rumbling :(. It was day 5 for me, and i had been so lucky not to experience anything but a bit of coldness whilst going into ketosis, but yesterday was just weird/awful even. Not sure, but i think it had something to do...

    Taste

    When i did CD 2 yrs ago i couldnt stand any of the shakes, all i had was choc tetras! But on exante i like them all, so it really is down to personal taste, buy the weekly pack and make your own mind up on your fav x

    I remember when on CD they said that if you feel hungry it might actually be that you need more fluid x

    Hi, thinking of starting Exante but not 100%

    Hello treesandcat, i just wanted to add that i previously did the CD, and didnt like any of the soups or shakes, but i actually like everything i have tried from Exante which is all of their products, so just try them with a open mind. I purchased the months bumper pack of shakes, then added one...
