    Hi all! New kid on the block! :-)

    Aah, that's pretty much what I'm doing, as I'm having a small low carb meal in the evening to keep me going - tried total solution so many times in the last few years and haven't stuck to it so hoping this will keep me going :-) Great loss this week, you're doing great!

    Hi all! New kid on the block! :-)

    Welcome! I've been on and off Exante for ages but am getting back on the wagon as of tomorrow! Is the man plan 4 meals a day, or something else? I've pretty much only tried the shakes (had the soups years ago but don't think I could stomach another one) - whats the deal with the pudding, do you...

    I have been so stupid!

    Well done getting back on it! Sugar/ carb addiction is so hard to crack but the more often you stick to ketosis friendly things the more you'll lose and the better you'll feel! I've also found that splitting my packs so I have 6 mini meals a day helps, plus drinking loads and loads to keep me full!

    Daft question re: hot shakes

    Haha I've tried it before and yeah, hot water in a shaker doesn't work! Personally I would put some cold water in to shake up into a thick mix, then top up with boiling water in a mug.

    OOh have they changed this? When I first tried it (a couple of years ago) it was max of 1 bar a day. Handy to know for days out when really not practical to make shakes!

    Kind of an odd question...

  103. LastEverDiet

    Urgent help please!!

    Just found the menu - looks like you'd have to adapt any meal quite a bit, but for example if you got the all-day veggie brunch and just eat the eggs and one or two of the sausages, with a side salad, then at least you'd get a meal!

    Urgent help please!!

    Do they do a veggie soup? It won't be totally on plan but is likely to not be too carby - so maybe a soup and a side salad?

    Starving!!!!

    Hi abcdebony, feeling cold if a really good sign - ketosis is on its way! I'm the same with blood sugar - was trying to explain to a friend how much better I feel on a VLCD compared with the ups and downs of eating carbs, but she thought I was mad! Looking forward to the energy rush I should...

    seriously considering slim and save - opinions and experiences please!

    Thanks Weasey - and well done on such a fantastic loss (and even better, keeping it off!) I think I'm going to join an aerobics class in a few weeks, once I've adjusted to the VLCD, although I'll feel a bit self-conscious to start with, what with all my wobbly bits! Ruby, I'm the same with...

    Hey Gilly, how did your first day go? I found having lots of nice, allowed drinks in the house helps too - a glass of sparkling water with ice in the evening can feel like a real treat ;)

    seriously considering slim and save - opinions and experiences please!

    I'm the same with alcohol - I think one of the reasons the pounds kept creeping on was a glass or two every evening after work! If I'm on a "normal" diet where a small glass of wine is allowed I really struggle, but with a VLCD knowing that its not allowed (and would make me feel terrible!) I...

    Good luck for today!

    Come down with a cold.... should I eat more today? Advice please!

    Thanks Hannah, good advice! I used to do Exante and didn't need a mutlivit with that, but think slim and save is different, esp if doing 3 packs plus meal so will start taking one. Yes, that's what I was worried about re: increasing portions. Glad to hear cold might pass quicker if I stay on track!

    Zero Noodles?!

    From what I've heard they don't have much flavour, so should just taken on the taste of the pack. The problem for me will be if they have some gross slimy texture or something!! Mind you, I guess if I'm having a hungry day I'll eat anything!

    I've just ordered some off ebay - mydietshop is the ebayer, worked out a bit cheaper for 5 packs than some of the other sites because postage was less. Now hope I like them as will have 5 packs to get through! Has anyone tried them already, mixed with their packs?
