At yesterdays weigh in, I am officially half way to my target... I am also not longer "Obese" - just "Overweight" lol :D Yay! *does a little dance* Although it is costing me a fortune in new clothes! aha! (Im not complaining I promise) Thats 3 stone since January 1st!

I've had to stop having the bars :( they kick me out of ketosis. Everyone's body is different...

Bit of Coco powder and sweetener in the chocolate one! Makes it VERY chocolatey! Tesco coco powder only has 3cal and 0.2g of carbs per tea spoon! :)

You are making an assumption that everyone is the same, see NICE guidelines for further clarification. I used the word "Potentially" for a reason.

Agreed. Too much fluid in a short space of time can be very bad for your health. Stick to the recommended guidlines, either Exante or NICE.

They are included. If you were drinking Tea, Coffee + 4 litres of water you risk overloading your body... Which can potentially be life threatening! This is bad advise. Please refer to medical guidance and the Exante handbook before handing out advise like this. Quote from the Exante handbook.

Easily 3 litres a day. Between water and black coffee, however mostly water.

Right... I am exactly 1 week in, I have kept to Exante Total Solution for the whole week. I am in Ketosis - mildly. But I am still VERY hungry. My body is slipping very far into ketosis like it did on the Cambridge Diet. Any reasoning for this? I know Exante has 4 to 8g more Carbs in...

Its Vitamin D you need to be extra careful about. You get your RDA of Vit D in just 15 mins of Sunlight. With Exante AND Vitamins it can easily lead to Hypercalcemia - which can be very serious! (more so if you have any parathyroid issues). Your body stores extra Vitamin D to use later (your...

Maybe I just caught them on a bad day :\ However I don't like the fact you need to wait to get an answer to something - i.e. they donm't have a direct telephone line. I like to speak to actual people ;)

Too much of a good thing can have unexpected consequences. Just ask people who have gulped gallons of carrot juice, which is rich in beta carotene, only to find that the palms of their hands and the soles of their feet turned a dull yellowy orange. The carrot-juice syndrome is generally thought...

Welcome to you as well! :D Well so far, its been alright. The shakes are ALOT nicer than CD! Much more creamy! :D The soups are not as powdery either! Day 4 tomorrow! :D wooo!!! :P Im managing ok on 3 packs :) which is awesome! Although when im doing 12 hour shifts again in A&E i...

Thank you very much for your support! Right now I could eat my own arm ;) The sooner my body goes into Ketosis the better! I just thought I would check and CD advises men 4 packets a day :) Its nice to see some other Men on here!! I'm trying to keep my diet quiet from my friend - which is...

The bars on this are lovely. I used to be a CD'er and these are loads better!

I am newly starting the Exante Diet and I HATE the taste of tap water :tear_drop: I was going into boots to buy myself a bottle for lunch today and I found something called Water Bobbles! They filter the water on the go :P I thought I would share this with the rest of the group as I know...

Update: They contacted me saying, we don't deliver Saturdays - well I asked them to inform me if they didn't so I could alter the delivery address... Fail!

Well. I have placed my order, but my experiences so far as awful! Apparently they have no direct contact number, only an answering machine. They do not seem to reply to emails, or take any notice of comments applied on orders. I asked if my parcel could be sent out for delivery on...

Hi there.. I have been reading through the forums ALOT. There seems to be one common theme, people giving advise out regarding avoiding citric acid when on a VLCD. Being of Medical background, I decided to do some research in journals on-line, however I can't find ANY hard evidence to...

Consumer-available Citric Acid only does that because of the way they use it (i.e flavourings and stabilisers) besides the links with Citric Acid and Ketosis and purely anecdotal, there is no firm research out there to suggest this is true. Most people who have a problem with citric acid is down...

Medically speaking, eating bland food has been enhances your taste buds and make them more sensitive! If anything they might add some Citric Acid into the recipe to dull them...

Ah Perfect. Thanks for the advise guys. I think I will buy the bumper pack. I was on the Cambridge Diet but it was costing me an abolutle fortune and we Nurses just don't get paid that!!! lol How does everything else taste? Im going to place my order this week :D Thanks!! Matt :)

Ah wow.. That makes it ALOT cheaper than most of the other VLCDS!

Hey :) Im considering starting this diet, however the pricing is rather confusing. The 50% off the monthly supply is that an offer thats on permanently? Or is it just on atm? Matt
