    I have done both and I didn't find any difference in losses. Exante is cheaper and personally I have found much nicer. I think the real is because no one is supervising you like that do on Lipotrim. I've done this over a few months and never bothered with a break.

    Exante or lipotrim?

    I have done both Exante and Lipotrim. Definitely Exante for me as the bars are a great alternative to shakes, there is so much more variety of flavours and it's soooo much cheaper. If you need the discipline of the weekly weigh in though that is the main advantage of Lipotrim. If you can manage...

    feeling dizzy and having a down day :(

    I'm so sorry you don't feel great. If you still feel bad after eating have you considered that you actually might be ill? An ear or sinus infection or just a virus could also explain your symptoms. Try tucking yourself up in bed with hot soups and plenty of water for couple of days and see how...

    Quick Question?

    I have just updated the minimins app on my iPhone (finally) and these coloured dot have suddenly appeared next to everyones picture. Does anyone know what they are? (sorry if it's a silly question that has been answered but I am hopeless at remembering to update my apps). x x

    Exercise.

    Next or any sports shop do shock absorber bras. Go for extreme impact. I suffer from 38e bra size so would probably knock myself out without it. Not cheap but well worth the investment. x x x Good Luck

    Exante vs Lipotrim - views please

    I switched from LT to exante couple of weeks ago and losses are just as good. Personally I find the shakes/soups and bars a massive improvement on LT. That and cost I know I could never go back to LT now. Weigh ins don't bother me. Got scales at home and do it myself. Pharmacist wasn't that...

    Exercise.

    I do a boot camp style class called civilian military fitness and yes a good well fitting sports bra is essential but also I have a real lower tummy from being pregnant and I wear a pair of cropped running leggings under my jogging pants to help with wobbly bits. Great at mo as it's so cold...

    What was your first week weight loss?

    What was your first week weight loss?

    I lost 9lb on my 1st week on lipotrim too and I totally agree. Exante is tons nicer and cheaper too which is a nice bonus. x x x

    A bit worried?!?!

    Hi. I am a nurse and the posts on here are correct about ketosis only being dangerous in diabetes and in their case is a result of very high blood sugars. Your chemist does sound extremely ill informed especially as I have just switched from lipotrim which was supervised and recommended by...

    Help Needed......

    Hopefully your headaches are just carb withdrawal and should ease up in next day or so. Are you drinking enough water. I aim for three to four litres a day but make sure you keep drinking little and often as taking slot if water all at once can make you feel grotty as it dilutes all your sodium...

    Just ordered Bumper Pack!

    Hi. I have just started on Exante for 1st time too. Was on lipotrim but the lack of flavours and particularly the really disgusting bars prompted me to swap over. My 1st week so far has gone really well and I am certain you have done the right thing. You will be at your goal in no time. Good luck.

    What's your all time favorite film???

    No one has mentioned Some Like it Hot. Have none of you seen it? a bit before my time I know but it's a classic. Absolutely hilarious. Tony Curtis tottering around on heels and that fake British accent. Pmsl. Marilyn Monroe looks stunning and flaunts her curves.

    Feeling cold

    Yep, me too. I am freezing. On my day off have to have heating on all day (dreading the gas bill) and even started taking a hotwater bottle to bed. I have to keep warm because when i start getting cold and miserable is when the food cravings really hit me. Hot tea (though its disgusting without...

    Hi Guys, My name is Sam and i am currently on the Lipotrim Diet but unfortunately the variety of soups and bars is very limited and the two bars are absolutely disgusting. I was just wondering if the weight loss and principles are the same as Lipotrim as Exante also seems cheaper if you buy the...

    Aww Honey. I know exacly how you feel. I have had so many false starts and everytime in the past when i have cheated I have thought "well if i am going to cheat, i might as well cheat properly".

    Aw Sandra. Why go to all that trouble for so short a time. Get your trees up and done before you go into hospital. That way you will have something gorgeous and festive to look at while you are off your feet and you won't have the stress of your OH making a mess of them. It would drive mr crazy...

    What is it with men

    You sound like one of the luckiest people in the world. As much as I love my OH and wouldn't change him for the world (in most respects he really is fantastic) i am slightly envious that yours is so understanding. I don't think mine understands that I do this as much for him and my little girl...

    Refeeding!!

    Yes. I'm not really a crisp person but the parsnip ones are very nice. Old WW trick, you can make them yourself with very thin slices stayed in frylight and grilled. Bit if seasoning and there you go. Much healthier than shop bought.

    What is it with men

    I third that. My OH really does't like me doing this diet and he is always trying to tempt me to cheat. Men really don't seem to get the whole losing weight thing at all. My OH is overweight but he doesn't care. He says when or if it bothers him he will do something about it as if it's the...

    For all your joking I have to say that both of you guys are a complete inspiration. You are both amazing. I am just planning to have a nice Xmas dinner but go easy on carbs (I do love parsnips though) and then straight back to TFR on boxing day. New year isn't a problem as I will be working...

    How can you make this stuff taste better ? ?

    Hi. I must agree about shakes. They are not fun. Some people recommend making the choc shake with hot water and it tastes like hot choc but personally I find that awful. I find the best way to take shakes is to make them with really cold water, add ice cubes and shake till your arm drops off or...

    teas to drink, leaf and berries?

    oh what an idea that has just occured to me whilst reading your texts. Ice tea is supposed to be nice and refreshing. So frozen raspberry leaf tea could make a nice sweet treat to crunch on. Oh to chew again.

    after lipotrim

    I have to agree with fab clara. Slimmimg world never worked well for me either. I think if you go down the slimming club route you fall into either the weight watchers or slimming world camp.

    1st week - Ketosis???

    If you have the breath and a strange metallic taste in your mouth, I guess you might be there. Your pharmacy should be able to tell you if you take them a urine sample or the web based auction site sell urine ketone sticks if you really want to know.

    When Can I Start LT Again???

    Would contacting your pharmacy do the trick. They should know. I do know that most slimmimg clubs won't let you rejoin until you are 6 weeks post delivery as this is how long it takes your body to revert back to it's pre-pregnancy state (ie your uterus and hormone production etc is back to it's...

    what exactly does water do, besides hydration???

    Weight loss experts in the past have also told me that the body cannot burn fat whilst dehydrated. Apparantly water is part of the chemical reaction.

    Well done on confronting your demons and tackling your regain now. Re. the drinking.
