    Hello!!!!! I missed u guys!!

    Oh Woofy, I have been soooo busy. I have become a consultant for exante and I still do my other marketing consultancy and that's got really busy this month. I am not complaining as being self employed can be a bit feast and famine. I miss being around here and must get on here more often...

    Hello!!!!! I missed u guys!!

    Hi Rachel, welcome back. I keep coming and going due to being mega busy. I am still part low carbing in the evening, part packs and part introducing more foods.

    Packs arrived...whooo hoooo...we have lift off.

    Glad you have your packs Gaynor. Veggies in the wok are a must! Sometimes I steam my veggies in a saucepan, drain and then return to the heat, throw in a teaspoon of butter and a clove or garlic chopped and anything else you fancy. Yummy scrummy.

    Switching to maintenance???

    Hi Vicky I am in a bit of a rush, but as a quick answer, it is a case of gradually introducing foods each week on the healthy plan. You certainly don't have to low carb for life. You can introduce the more carby food on week 4 and just ensure you have sensible portions. I met a friend of...

    Side Effects from Exante?

    If you drink 2 - 4L of water a day (best to be at the top end if you can) then you should be ok. If you do suffer, get some ducolax. That will help.

    The tingling in your hands is most likely to be due to ketosis. It does take a while for you body to fully settle into this way of getting energy and burning fat. Chicken and veg won't hurt you though. Don't worry, you will suddenly wake up one day and be full of energy.

    I have watched the big fat wedding programme too and it was great. Becky, on the packs, you must have your 3 packs or your body won't have enough energy to burn fat efficiently and you risk burning lean tissue. One day won't hurt, but make sure to get your 3 packs every day from now on.

    Please don't worry about the carb levels in the bars. The plan is designed to give you all you need in a day when using three packs on total. The carb levels won't knock you out of ketosis and you need a certain amount of carbs on a VLCD to give you energy. Just don't have more than one bar...

    can we have low carb biscuits on atkins? link to site

    Hi, as Anna Maria said on the burger post, you simply have to count your carbs and not exceed the 20g per day. That said, I think Jim advised on another post that the 20g should really come from green leafy veg. This is only my personal opinion, but if you eat low carb biscuits whilst losing...

    Hi Vanda It's a shame that you are put off because of the delivery method as the Exante products are really nice and so much cheaper than LL. Will the delivery company not redeliver to you if you call them? I am sure I could organise something with Exante to get your products shipped via...

    Is your TOTM due Lisa? Having an Atkins bar isn't so bad. At least they are low in carbs. And the Exante bar is in the plan. What you could try doing is having a few veggies cut up in a bowl to pick at. I used to go and get cucumber when I really wanted to eat. Are you eating lots of...

    Morning all For me today it's B: exante shake L: exante soup D: Cajun spiced grilled chicken with whatever veggies I have in the fridge - need to do a veggie shop as missed my market run this week. Will have to stop by Lidl I think.

    Yes Saturdays are the hardest for most people. Once you get over the first one, it's much easier. Just try to keep yourself busy.

    I weighed myself today :(

    Funny as I am no so fussed on the chocolate products. I like them but can take or leave them. I also didn't want to rely on chocolate flavoured things for fear of continuing to want chocolate when I go back to conventional foods. I love love love banana and strawberry and will continue to have...

    Thanks NaturalBlue and Lisa. I think I must have missed your loss NB when you posted it so HUGE well done on 6lbs gone. Great start. It's nice to know I am inspiring others. Like you, I was also inspired by a friend of mine losing lots of LL. But I didn't fancy going to LL because of the...

    You can have either 3 or 4, whichever suits you best. But only have 1 bar per day.

    Congratulations Sarah_P - Exante Consultant!

    No won't have my own website. I am on the Exante website as a consultant. I hope to have lots of clients in the MK area soon. I know that this great diet solution works and just want to share it.

    I failed - I just can't do Total Solution!

    Ah try not to worry about it. At least Atkins bars are low in carbs. I am sure you will still have a good loss this week. Just try to stay on track as of tomorrow.

    Congratulations Sarah_P - Exante Consultant!

    Well I did day one of my training on Friday and I am so excited about launching my new consultancy in MK. The planned date for launch is 16th May, so not long to go! I have a lot of work to do between now and then and another half day's training. If any of you have any questions, please feel...

    I failed - I just can't do Total Solution!

    How are you getting on with the Working Solution now Lisa? Flumpy, I asked about foods for you as a veggie when I did my training on Friday. Do you eat fish? If not then tofu and quorn are fine for protein, but you could also check the carbs on the veggie sausages. So long as they are...

    Out of ketosis

    At least you now know what it was. I had some sugary things over easter and it took me a couple of days to get back in the pink. Hope today went well and you managed to stay away from the food you were feeding your guests.

    Good news AnnaMaria! Back in the pink. Yes Jim, metalically is a good way to describe it. I get it most first thing in the morning. They say that's the keytone in your breath.

    Out of ketosis

    I often don't show pink, but I am sure I am in ketosis.

    Gained!

    Don't worry about it Lisa. It will probably just be the results of the food going back into your system and could be more water in your system. The week I switched to Working, I also lost very little, but wait and see what this week brings. I wouldn't worry about the carbs in the exante...

    Do you think are in ketosis, but it's there are just no keytones to show on the stick?
