Well it's the end of week 6 today I have been trying to just keep my head down and get on with it. I am going to weigh in Friday morning and am hoping for 5lb+ for the last 2 weeks. This continues to be the easiest and hardest diet I have ever done. Easy because I have no choices to make, I...

I know I just edited my reply...... serves me right for being on here when I am working

I bet it's new flavours because I have just placed an order for my months supply and I will have to wait till next month to try them:cry: Whoops thats what happens when you leave your message on the screen unsent for 20 mins :)

Hi I have been on exante for 5 weeks now but like you was missing something savoury, for the last week or so I have been having 2 exante shake and either a spag bol or cottage pie for dinner in the evening and its really helped me stay on the diet. I have now ordered some of the shakes and bars...

Congratulations, thats a great loss

Thanks for the replies, I hope the order will be delivered tomorrow, I really like the exante bars and most of the shakes are ok but the choice with slim & save is just so much better. Good luck to you both

Actually decided to take the plunge so have bought a weeks supply of shakes and bars to try

Hi I have been following Exante for the last month but have been having the Slim & Save meals instead of my 3rd shake for the last week, which has really been a lifesaver. I am now considering changing over to slim & save shakes as well, I was wondering if anyone can comment on the difference...

I agree with hannah, it is not easy for women to gain loads of muscle especially on such a low calorie diet, usually extra weight is due to water retention whilst the muscles are repairing after exercise but if you do build muscle every 1lb of muscle burns a lot more calories that a lb of fat...

Hi Not sure if it's classed as ok or not but I have done something similar with some Slim & Save Spaghetti Bolognaise, I intend to have them on a Sunday afternoon. The way I have looked at it is its got to be better doing that than caving completly and eating roast potatoes. You will have to...

Hi, I am was racking my brains (bit dangerous) and could only really come up with omlette, salad with quorn but if you google vegetarian atkins there is quite a lot of suggestions out there that are a bit more creative than mine :) Have a fantastic holiday

That's weeks 3 out the way, my hunger pains are few and far between but quite sharp and painful when they arrive. I still don't have very good energy levels, I guess I am not going to get that side effect of being in Ketosis. What I have decided to do is buy a few slim and save spaghetti...

Congratulations that's a fantastic loss :D

Hi A diet like this is bound to result in some muscle loss if kept up for long but continuing a weights program will help protect what you have. Be careful though I have had a couple of dizzy spells in the gym and as yet I don't seem to have enough energy to push myself very hard. I am TS so...

I would like to lose 21lb and get down to 13.6 my lowest weight in about 10 years, might be a bit ambitious but I can try

Hi I am on exante Total solution, just having a browse round the other forums and noticed this thread and I am so glad that someone else has this. I keep waiting for the ketosis to make me feel cold but I seem to keep getting hotter.

It took my about 5 days to get into but your right its different for everyone. I think it would have been quicker for me if I had cut out the milk in my coffee. Good luck I hope it arrives for you soon

I am, I have 6 weeks left till my holiday....What did you have in mind?

Well done, thats such an inspiration I have 8 weeks untill my holiday, I would love to see similar results.

Thanks everyone, I hope your weigh in's go well, I am actually going to stick to weighing once a fortnight now as I can get quite down if i don't see much of a loss on the scales.

Hi Sorry you have had such a bad day, in the scheme of things one bad day doesnt ruin a diet it's the not getting back on plan straight away that does, keep going with TS and the weight will be soon be flying off, even a few pounds can make you feel so much better. Take care

Fantastic loss, i would be jumping for joy. Keep going it's so worth it and week 2 is much eaiser

Didn't get the chance to weigh in week 1 as I don't keep scales at home and have to use ones at work. Total of 11lbs off for the 2 weeks :D

1st 2 weeks are over and I got to weigh myself....11bs gone. Very please with that result. Did find the hunger returning yesterday, I had a very rumbly tum. I wonder if I have been pushing my luck with milk in my coffee, going to cut down to 1 cup today and see if that helps. Hope everyone else...

Hi I am a newbie as well, I am on day 12. I am finding I am thirsty no matter how much water I am drinking but I wonder if it could be something to do with the ketosis. Don't they reccomend between 2 and 3lts a day so it might help to up the intake. Congratulations on your 1st week loss, what a...

Hi, I agree if you are worried contact NHS direct, a diet shouldn't really cause pain like that. Take care, hope you feel better soon

Hi, newbie here but just had to post my congatulations, it's very uplifting to hear good news. You have had great losses I hope I can join you in that someday.

Thanks everyone, just reading your replies made me feel better, I do know this stuff but sometimes it's good to hear it. I feel better today, had a full shake for breakfast, I will have one this afternoon. I am going to wait till Wednesday for my weigh in. In my head I am hoping for a 4kg loss...

It's day 11 today and not doing so well since my last post, old demons raising their ugly heads. I am going to confess to try and kick my head into touch. I missed a shake on Tuesday as I was so busy not great but not the end of the earth either but I have also missed 1/2 Wednesday & Thursday...

I am going to try and wait until next Wednesday, I don't have scales at home (I can't stay off them) so I weigh in at work on some scales in the accounts department :) I will just have to remember to wear the same thing every Wednesday

It should be weigh in but as I am working away I can't but I had a sneaky jump on the scales at the gym on Sunday and I had lost 2kg which is ok for 5 days I guess. Congratulations on your weightloss Dustqueen you have done so well

Thanks for your encouragement I hope everybody is doing well. Well made it through day 5 without caving at the party, didn't even want to naughties on offer but i realise that I am still in the honeymoon stage with the plan. Day 6 I went to the gym before breakfast as normal, wow big mistake...

Good luck I am on day 5 and not hungry and feel normal again just keep your goal in mind the 1st few days.

Hi I am a newbie to posting but have been lurking around the forum for ages reading and gaining valuable tips and insights, so I have decided to keep a diary of my time on Exante TS to help myself and maybe give some inspiration to someone else. My History I guess it’s pretty much like a lot of...
