Im just a control freak! If i can prepare and make it for my family then Im fine watching them eat it, the second im not in control I want to eat everything!

Thanks Poppy, I feel your pain! I made the family a full roast dinner last sunday, now THAT was a test of will power. I sat there and watched them scoff the lot whilst I sipped my shake lol

Thanks Sheridan that's really kind of you :) Congratulations on getting married and hope you had a fantastic day, its onwards and upwards from here! Best of luck with your 100 day challenge and I hope you reach your weight goal sooner than you expect xx

Last time I did this diet I had the same problem when one of my lads brought a bug home, I have to confess I was naughty and soldiered on with the diet and lost 9ibs that week! By the way this isnt aimed at criticising you, its more aimed at saying how stupid I was! I hope your feeling better...

Well I have started taking Calcium Tablets (In addition to the multivitamin tablet that doesnt have calcium) after speaking to the boots pharmacist and to my relief I think they are already starting to help and I only started taking them yesterday. She explained that although its vitamin D I...

Now starting to get a little paranoid about my front teeth, they seem to be a little more sensitive and the last time I did the diet I had sensitive front teeth for a couple of months afterwards! I seem to recall even with the slightest contact against a wine glass would really smart. Really...

Another weigh in and another 4ibs lost, I cant help but feel a little dissapointed with that..... Oh well another 4 weeks of the diet is what i intend to do and hopefully be as near to target as possible by then. Edit: Have also changed my target to 14st, I have never been lighter than 14st...

Thanks for your support guys, having two small children and fulltime job I get little time to update but I do find this site is excellent for supporting each other even if I cant be on the forum all day :) Hope your all having a 100% day <3

Well done Miss your doing great, You probably wont have noticed yet but I bet ketosis is kicking in OR already in and hunger will slowly be subsiding.....Now its just getting out of the eating habit and accepting this is your diet for the next few weeks. My evening "Meal" consists of a sugar...

Thanks Allyours, we can do this! :-) I have the kids today so it's my "testing" day to say the least. Making my boys breakfast lunch and tea whilst I have my packs! So far so gd, hope everyone else having a gd day.

After 3 days of drinking just shakes I just had a Toffee nut and raisin bar, so much more satisfying than a shake for your lunch. but what's with the red berry bars, omg they make me want to puke. Looking forward to sitting down and having a pot of Jelly tonight which seems to be the only real...

So a friend has given me some out of date exante shakes and to be fair they are too expensive to waste - with my childcare costing £1300 a month alone I cannot look a gifthorse in the mouth - I guess these will be fine to use as long as I take a multivitamin with them daily. The last time I did...

So here I am again! Having lost 5 and a half stone nearly three years ago I am back having gained nearly three stone. I only have myself to blame by opting for the easy option of takeaway two to three times a week and stuffed crust pizza hut is my Achillies heel! I also blame the fact I have...

So chocolate shakes and a chocolate exante bar - Job done! Best of luck - I am on my second week and it does get easier after 3/4 days :)

first weigh in for me today after returning to diet after maintaining for two and a half years but gained loads over last 6 months. Week 1 = 12ib loss Happy with that Matt :)

Excessive consumption of the drink mix can knock you out of ketosis from what i have heard, I have also heard people that drink 4-5 cans of coke zero not being knocked out of ketosis. Everyone is different however so there are no hard fast rules - The drink mix would be better if its in...

Cannot stand the red berry bars, tried one the other day and made me feel really sick afterwards as the artificial sweetness is far too much! I always thought you could only have one bar a day....

This thread needs resurrecting - HONK HONK HONK for three 100% days

Everybody is different, I have been able to have two boiled eggs and half a slice of toast and still stayed in Ketosis. One boiled egg im sure youll be fine

Hope it had the desired effect :-)

No not really, it doesnt taste unpleasant but does add a little "gritiness" but i guess without that it wouldnt have lots of fibre!

Good luck on your exante journey Poppy, first week or two is hard, but it does get easier Matt x

Anybody recommend a toothpaste to combat this problem?

Coke zero is my little vice :-)

HONKY BONK!

Glad im not the only one, I also have had peely/chapped lips as well which I never usually get when im not on the diet, its very strange.

I always get sensitive teeth but its got worse with exante, I use Oral b pro expert. Anyone else get sensitive or slightly "numb" teeth from TS?

HONK!

Welcome, I have also just restarted after losing 5 stone a year ago, day 5 tomorrow :)

Nice one, Keep it up you know you can do it :)

Adding a teaspoon of Flax seed to the shakes keeps me regular

Good going, got my 1st weigh in monday after a 1 year break from dieting and maintaining so im hoping for something similar :D

Well done on your loss so far, halfway through my 1st week back on it after a year of pretty much maintaining a 5 stone loss :)

Hi guys im hoping some of you may be able to share thoughts and experiences around exercise on exante. Ill be honest ive always been a fat lazy flomp so to suddenly be 3 1/2 stones lighter makes me want to start doing some exercise. However I have never really exerted myself before and...

Honk :)

49ibs in 8/nearly 9 weeks :)

Honk!

:confused:I have a dilemma! Ive been on the diet for nearly three weeks (And lost nearly 2 stone) and its my little boys christening coming up this weekend with friends and family visiting from all over the country. I cant decide whether to have a weekend off (be a little sensible but eat)...

HONK! :D

Its hard, theres no doubt about that but it gets so much easier once your a week into it! I started on the mixed bumper pack with Soups/shakes/Bars but my further 2 month supply is just going to be shakes and bars as I personally find all the soups minging (Apart from veggie thats...

7lbs loss this week, exactly what i wanted :-D Now 17st 7ib and many of my clothes are getting too big for me :-). Was only going to do this diet for one month but just ordered further 2 month supply!

Thanks peeps, your all very kind :-) 2nd weigh in tomorrow for me, hoping its at least 7ib but will see xx Matt

Honk!

Hey In terms of exercise the official rule (as far as im aware) is not to do anything more than what you would have done before starting this diet, so for me I take a 20 min walk each day since i wasnt particulary active! The hunger will pass, I know people say it on here all the time but it...

Hello and welcome, if you havnt already read the FAQ I would recommend it as it has info on what drinks you can have and tips to spice up your soups and shakes! http://www.minimins.com/exante/189296-exante-faqs.html :) The first week is hard but once your properly in ketosis it really does...

Wow i must have done something wrong as I oly lost 1 stone first week lol! Did you exercise as well? :)

Thanks guys :)

And 1 stone lost, such a brilliant feeling !

Welcome Lesley, congratulations on your 1st weigh in, its my first one tomorrow so with any luck will be just as good :)

Good to know, I have it in hot water and call it my blackcurrant tea :D

Yeah i have to say my soup tasted quite nice tonight with a little salt and black pepper :). Im trying to mix the shakes a little as well by making them into thick shakes by using ice cubes in the blender (Works surprisingly well for the chocolate!). I think now im looking for reasons not to...

Thank you :) I guess it gets easier as you get used to it then, I simply couldnt comprehend sitting at the table and watching my wife eat a roast dinner, I have to leave the room and play on computer for a bit when she eats right now lol! Matt

Thanks GSQ, I had the veggie soup tonight and for once i really enjoyed it (A little salt and black pepper lifted the blandness). Think ill have to give it another week before i decide what packs I really like :). Are you on Total or working solutions? The only life i knew before this was...

Like it! Will have to give this one a go when i get to foodbreak week :)

Sounds lovely, will try this one for sure :)

Thank you :), how on earth do you cope cooking for your children while on this diet, I heated something up for my wife on day 2 and it nearly killed me :O Matt

Thanks Ali, Think ill have to get a dog! now that'll keep me busy ;). Im tempted to just have bars and shakes and just lose the soups but would seem an awful waste of £33.00 so think ill just have to down em in one! Congratulations on your weight loss so far, I think this forum will probably...

Hi all, Started exante 5 days ago and went for the mixed bumper pack, gotta say I prefer the bars and shakes though so next month will probably just go for those. Just wondered if any of you could share good ways of distracting my mind from thinking of food as i have to say im finding this...

Did you get a reply to this? I would like to know as well

Thanks! This post has filled in alot of blanks for me and allowed me a treat of coke zero :-)
