I hated the chocolate shake the first time I had it, then tried it a couple of weeks later and loved it. I guess our tastes change.

It can be hard to get back on the wagon again, but you can do it. I went out of ketosis and it took 7 days to get back in, but I feel great now I've done it. Perhaps in the future you could just order shakes and soups and keep away from the bars? Or just order a couple of them. Try some swiss...

thanks for the replies. i think i'm going to try a few different products, as the variety will help me stick to a diet. I take a multi vitamin pill every other day and a capsule of essential fatty acids a couple of times per week so will probably be ok. I much prefer the exante shakes to the LL...

I've switched to exante but still have some LL food packs left, though it's the soups which I don't like. But it got me thinking, does anyone here buy different brands for the vlcd? There isn't much choice with Exante and I was thinking of buying a few Avidlite packs too.

I'm loving the shakes. They are so much creamier than the lighter life ones. Not too keen on the bar with raisins in it though but the choc and orange is nice and very filling. It's a shame there isn't more choice of flavours but it's certainly do-able.

Hi and welcome. I'm new to exante but I did do a few weeks on lighterlife previously. The first week is the most difficult. Sounds to me like you're into ketosis if you're feeling cold and your mouth is yucky. The evenings were the hardest for me too at first because that was the time I would...

I've noticed a big difference in my hands, The skin feels a lot more like crepe paper, so I'm slathering on the moisturiser. It's also a good way of judging if I have water retention too because that's when they get puffy again.

Sarah, is it possible to make up the sweet flavours as a mousse by using less water with them?

My packs have just arrived, delivered by an extremely cute man. So I will definately keep ordering them lol. Must put on makeup next week though!

hi jojo. well done on such a great weight loss. hope we can support each other here.

Hi, I'm going to go for total solution as it is the most similiar to the lighter life which I was on before. Not sure I should go butt naked into Boots for weigh in though!

I'm starting Exante as soon as my food packs arrive. I just wondered, what's the best way to get weighed? Can you reccommend any good scales? I was previously getting weighed at my lighter life meetings. All I have at home is my wii fit and I don't think that's very accurate. Am I best buying...

thanks. have ordered a weeks worth of exante products to keep me going whilst i decide what to do.

hi there. joining you all today after ordering my first weeks worth of exante products. I've had to leave lighterlife suddenly after losing 2 stone in 5 weeks and don't want to come out of ketosis so have ordered the packs without knowing much about the plan. If I like them I'll carry on. If not...

my doctor was fully supportive of me doing lighterlife. he signed the form and wrote an additional letter to that effect. the pills aren't the sort to be affected by being on a vlcd. i think they were worried that the counselling might bring issues up which they weren't trained to deal with though.

thanks Thelma, I'll take a look :)

Hi there, looking for some advice. I was forced to leave my lighter life group tonight after nearly two months, because the counsellor finally got round to inputting the information from my form onto the computer and it said I can't do the plan with my diagnosis or medication, both of which I'd...
