I am the same. Lost 3.5 stone and stopped last August maintaining till December but have now found the scales creeping up to 10lb heavier. I am struggling this time. The only difference is I am in a new job which is more physical during the day and I seem light headed. Drinking 3 litres plus of...

Ah thanks everyone for your messages.. I am sitting enjoying my bar whilst typing this and cant beleive I have managed to stick with it today. Got to the point where I feel its not worth ruining all the hard work for the sake of eating something I shouldn't which is great, long may it last...

Thanks both of you. I guess I have learnt a major lesson that it will not help if I pig out and I will feel grim afterwards - cant beleive I am saying that after being very overweight for years!!! I did the right thing for my cat - her quality of life was very poor and it was not fair on her...

Just thought I would share this. I have just been to the vets with my cat of 18 years to have her put to sleep :( - normally I would have headed straight home and for the biscuits, cakes etc to drown my sorrows however not today - 8 weeks into this diet, 3 stone lighter and so not going...

Thanks guys - been out for a nice walk this evening and feel a bit better x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

To be honest I have continued having a skinny latte when we go there - approx 4 times in 8 weeks I have been following exante and never thrown me out of ketosis or made a difference to my weight loss (36lbs) guess I have just been lucky... Jo

Yes I agree, when I started my tummy sounds could be heard across the room! Your body is in for a bit of a shock to start with, all the extra vitamins and minerals etc so bear with it. It does pass! Good luck for the rest of your day.

Can anyone shed any light as to why yesterday and today I am so hungry and fed up! I am on week 8 and lost 36lbs so really pleased however today especially I am really struggling! I have already had 4 litres of water and a shake. Dont want to give up as still have another 2 stone to loose -...

Me too today! Been 7 weeks and lost 2 stone and struggling today! I added a meal a couple of evenings this week and have been struggling since!!! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I am supposed to be doing it this week however again really nervous that I will go out of control so debating staying as i am. I guess we have to face food in the end though - just hope I can stick to the good stuff x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I would say its not a good idea however ring the blood service and check. They seem to change their guidelines all the time.

Thanks Starlight - I was not able to find an old thread on my phone whilst in the shop! Bought a couple of each to try xx Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Biggest loser bars Been 2 weeks now on exante and run out of bars (loads of shakes left still) been to Asda this morning and they have the BL fruit and nut breakfast bar and chocolate mint fudge bar reduced to £1.50. Are these the correct ones as would not want to undo all my hard work? Jo xx...

Well I have done it again. On day 7 today and been 100% since the cereal incident and I have just buttered a slice of bread and eaten it!!!! What is wrong with me!! Lost 9lb aswell this week which you think would have spurred me on! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Thanks Starlight - I guess I could have carried on eating and was tempted to be honest but managed to stop! I will forget it now and back on track tomorrow xx Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

On day 6 and done so well until tonight - I have just eaten a bowl of cereal cause I was ever so hungry and to be honest I wanted to eat something! Now feel horrible and wish I had not done it - hope I have not done too much damage! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I am on day 6 now and just using the shakes. Did not order soups as reading other peoples comments did not think they would be for me! I have a couple of bars that I keep in my bah for emergencies but love all the shakes and am happy on them. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I am so impressed. A huge well done. I am on day 6 so this is so encourging.

Ahh thanks. I must say I am in the zone so long may it last! I am at family this evening for dinner and they insist on me eating a chicken salad - just had to get quite cross and say no. I find it really hard though with people pressure.

I am now on day 6 and had a sneaky peak of the scales this morning to find I have lost 7lb - I am so chuffed. I have 4 stone to loose so just started however after failing on Cambridge Diet 3 times previously (not even making it to day 4) I am really happy with Exante and its spurred me on. Hope...

I had the same yesterday and felt very pressured to eat - I don't like telling people I am on a diet as failed so many times before they just roll their eyes!!! Rude though being called a loser - more reason to prove them wrong! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I am now also on day 4 and love all the shakes on Exante compared to Cambridge which I have also tried. They seem to be nice and frothy, I agree not so sweet however that suits me - they are also not so powdery and easier to mix

Woke up starving this morning - first time of actual hunger since starting. Is this normal? Thanks - Jo x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

This sounds so familiar - I could not make up my mind for days. Now finished day 2 and since this evening getting a horrible taste so hopefully ketosis is on the way. Let's look forward to another good day tomorrow!

Well here goes day 2 - working till late this evening so that should help - have a good day everyone xx

Well I did it - the poor dogs little legs are worn away however no food passed my lips! Thanks everyone for your words of wisdom xx

Thanks again everyone - will make the most of the next couple if days he is on annual leave. Just feel such a failure when I give in - when I can get into ketosis I am sure it will be easier xxx

Thankyou - on track so far today and feeling better - hubbie is off today so put him in charge of dinner xx fingers crossed xx

Hello. I have been on Exante for 2 days and coping fine during the day, a shake and bar and 3 litres of water however I have struggled at dinner time and had a small plate of food with my family, convincing myself it's OK then feeling horrible afterwards!! I have 4 stone to loose. Any ideas? I...

I did it Thanks for all your replies. I started again yesterday, found a new consultant who I really liked. Day 2 and OK so far. Hopefully I can crack it this time, 12 weeks till the beginning of December so thats my goal. I will keep you posted.

Hi there Have been reading for a while so thought I should bite the bullet and finally post. 6 months ago I tried the Cambridge diet and failed after 8 days - felt deprived, missing food terribly! I am now ready to give it another go and wondered if anyone can pass any tips to me please. I...
