Hey frenchie, it's going great thank you, I really am finding it easy going this time round ( massive fail last time I tried a vlcd) I think my head is in the right place and I am determined this time to do it. I have found though, that even though this is only my 5th day, I don't seem to feel...

Well done giggle pants great loss x

Thank you. Hopefully then the next couple of days I will be in ketosis , is there any way you can tell your in ketosis, I have heard of the sticks but that they are not very reliable x

Honk day 3. Yay

Only day three and although I have been drinking loads of water I have the worst headache ever !! It can't be because I am dehydrated I have drunk that much so I am guessing it diet related, on a positive note. I am already not feeling as hungry as I was which is great. I can't wait for my week...

Thanks guys. I tried the new instructions as per the website but 150ml of water made it like a soup no matter how much I nuked ! Think I will try less water , a longer soak and then a nuke. When I have more time I will try separating them as I am thinking this may be the only way to get pasta...

Well day 2 and I feel fab ( was still a bit hungry but nothing I couldn't ignore !) I have been cutting my bar in half so I have an evening snack as this is when I would usually pick! Have drunk loads of water but I must admit I get a bit bored of ware so I have had a peppermint tea? I'm really...

Another honk for me, day 2 ?

Hi and welcome. I am in a similar e position to you, lost loads of weight years ago then had 3 kids and now at my biggest ever!! I started yesterday and am not finding hunger to much a problem ( yet !) I have been having a porridge for breakfast ( late morning so between 9.30-10) then at lunch...

Surprisingly good thank you (although its only day 2 lol) I am hungry at times but filling up on water and hoping the hunger will pass, I also think i am hungry as I am only having half a bar at lunch but I rather like keeping the other half for the evening as this is when I would be most...

Thank you so much, will try this method tonight, I hope i can do it a bit better as I have 27 packs left lol

Thanks guys, good luck drenching for the first weigh in tomorrow, let us know how you got on. X

Well day 1 of my exante journey, I weighed myself this morning for the first time in a very long time and gulp hate to amit it but weighed in at a whooping 18st 5, now that alone has provided me with more motivation than ever. In all day one has gone pleasantly well, went to a play barn with...

Hi guys, Can't believe I am under eating, don't think I have done that in my life ;-) I think I am in ww and other diet mindset and trying to keep quantities to a minimum lol. Not had a bad day today but do think I have been under eating, got to 8pm and I was starving. Also a bit grumpy...

Hi mark, Thanks for your help, think I will just stick to hard cheeses for the first month then maybe introduce Philly . Congrats on your loss so far, is that from the Atkins or have done other diets ( if you are anything like me you have probably tried them all ) I will have a look at that...

Is this suitable for induction phase? And how much can you have and how many carbs would it contain? Sorry for all the q's x Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

Hi, me again, sorry for all the questions I promise I will try and limit them.. I am on day 2 of the Atkins and have been reading through the recipe section, how do we know if the recipes are suitable for the induction phase or how do I know how many carbs are in any given portion ? Also am I...

Thanks guys, it's reassuring to no that I wasn't deluding myself and that I was on the right track! Tiggertoes, how did your first day go? I would enjoy the sunshine much more if I had lost some of this weight, I think it's why I secretly love winter, easy to hide behind all the layers and...

Hi, Thanks for the reply, it's a relief to know that I was on the right track. Hubby is a butcher and he has started on Atkins with me, so he made us some special no filler/ low car sausages lol Thanks for the tips though, how far in are you? Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

Well end of day one (yesterday)and I must say it hasn't been to taxing ( assuming I am eating the right things lol, so here it is. B- bit of ham and a sausage L- stick of celery, small block of cheese and slice of boiled ham D- salad with boiled eggs, lettuce, cucumber, spring onion, green...

Hi sorry to hijack but starting today and was planning a salad, was just wondering if we can have beetroot? Not pickled or anything just plain boiled beetroot ? Any advice on what can make a salad interesting gratefully received lol x Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

Thanks guys, I have just managed to find the 'stickies' so going to have a look through there to get some ideas of what I can and can't eat. Basically am I right in thinking you can eat unlimited meat, some cheese, unlimited eggs and green veg/ salad stuff? When cooking do I cook in butter or...

Thank you tigger toes, found them, sorry for being such a thickie lol xx Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

Hi,I am a newbie as well, can anyone tell me where and how I can find theses 'stickys' people keep talking about. Thanks x Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

Well here I am starting yet another diet!!! Have just given exante a vlcd a whirl but not enough will power to not eat, so with my hubby being a butcher (free meat, cheese and eggs!!) we have decided to give Atkins a whirl. I have always struggled with my weight and now we have 3 small kiddies...

I guys, my first ever attempt at weight watchers ( after a million other diet attempts ! ) started on monday and am doing it online ( have subscribed to this as have no spare time for meetings) I hoe I am doing it right I am tracking everything, I am worried that jam eating to much as I am not...

Honk day 6 xx

Ooo I am confused. Are you not supposed to have black tea? I have been drinking it as hate coffee ?? Hate to think now I have spent the last 5 days doin it wrong!!

Honk day 5 x

It's is better microwaved to be honest. My other half though doesn't have a microwave in work and I know he boils the kettle mica less water than advised. Covers it and then re boils the kettle and mixes in more boiling water to get it a bit hotter x

Honk day 4 :)

It is super yummy. Not sure I would have the will power to carry in without it. It's nice to feel like your eating something 'normal' it's a must IMO x

Hi and welcome. My partner and I are doing together to. It makes things a little easier having each other for support and for talking you out of putting something in you mouth when you are about to crack ! I find having the porridge mid morning fills you really well till late afternoon. Also...

Good luck Hun. You sound a bit like me. Did ts for a week and did really well but then fell of the waggon an have found it so hard to motivate myself to start again. I have finally sorted myself out, started again on sat and now on day 3 and no wobbles. I feel great and so determined to do it...

Thanks for your help guys. I have previously done the Atkins and just assumed that these were free foods like on there. I should have added that my hubby to be is a butcher so makes all the sausage etc himself and when he makes ours put absolutely nothing else in. Going to have to re look at...

Hi can any one help please, we are trying to do ws to ease ourselves into TS. I have only been doing it 2 days but weighed and have put on 3 lbs !!!!!! :( Been looking but there doesn't seem to be much on forworking solutions, so does anyone know if you HAVE to have you 3 packs then a meal? For...

Thanks guys, Been looking but there doesn't seem to be much for on working solutions, so does anyone know if you HAVE to have you 3 packs then a meal? For example, I have been doing it for 2 days, day one I have a shake, soup and then steak ( just steak nothing with it) for tea. Day two had a...

Thank you so much for your help. Found the list of carb free foods was just worried I wouldn't lose on it but figured I would be better of doing the ws and having small losses than constantly cheating on the TS. Thank you again x

Hi me and hubby to be are really struggling to start doing TS. Does anyone know if we were to have 2 exante packs a day and then a Atkins type ( all meat no carb) meal in the evenings whether we would still lose weight? I aim is still to try and get to TS but our will power is a bit lacking at...

Pleased to say hooooonk ( only on day 3 but 1st 2 days a few little morsels found there way in to my mouth)

Thanks all. Will try the cutting up of bars to as that sounds like a good idea. Have also taken to hiding my scales as I have found myself jumping on the scales everymorning when I get dressed lol

Yep that's exactly it. I think I do it without even thinking about it. Food tip with the water I will try that at teatime tomorrow. I am more determined than ever to shift the weight so need to retrain my brain and think before I eat. It's good to know that there are others in the same boat...

Right I bought and had a half hearted attempt at examte about 6 mnths ago. Wasn't in the righ frame of mind so never really succeeded. I am getting married in April ( in Cuba) and really need to shift alot of weight. I have just restarted the diet and on day 2. I am fine doing the diet but I am...

hi, good luck with exante, i am on week 2 and i love it so far, you need to aim for about 2-3 litres a day, i find fillng 500ml bottles and putting them in fridge helps me drink this amount, however all the liquid you consume (black tes/coffee) counts towards your liquid amound for the day. good...

thanks guys, am really enjoying this diet, seems the best option for me as it takes away the daily stress of deciding whats for tea, if its healthy etc. looking forward to week 2 weigh in, dont care what it shows as long as its a loss, and as a super bonus hubby to be lost 14lb on his week 1...

hi all i am on week 2 of exante and although i was due on last week my totm has not happened :confused:!! i am as regular as clockwork, i was so concerned i took a pregnancy test but it showed negative. has anyone elses periods been affected by exante? is this normal? i am a bit worried (have a...
