On day 12 and have lost 16 pounds is that too much in such a short space of time. I cannot remember if I lost so much the last time I was on Exante. I guess it will slow down a great deal now. Have found this time drinking fizzy water has helped a great deal , water is water but no way can i...

dont forget if you tested in the morning your wee is stronger been stored over night and then you say you took another reading later on , then i guess you have had a bit to drink. even if its light pink your in keto.

Been reading like you do when on a break from work citric acid in a high dose can take you out of ketosis but small amounts won't and also reading the sweetener aspartame could also take you out of ketosis Any views on this matter

Got on scales yesterday and 15s3 :mad: shock horror. Looking at NHS website says I am obese. So have restarted with TS with Exante. Used it before but fell off wagon ( do like my sweet stuff ) and food in general. Now looking for advice I can drink water just about anyone know on here any...

Good luck to new starters and re starters. If we stick at it we can do it together.

re started on Monday. I have over 5 weeks of shakes from my last order. I think I have learned a great deal from my first attempt and have found ways to enjoy the shakes. And the BEST thing of all , is the folks on here always around when you need them most. You know the dark times when you...

I had a few free ones given to me and I found them to be runny and to be honest did not like them. So sticking to the shakes.

I would not do any work outs of any sort for the first two weeks and i mean hard work outs. You must let your body get used to the diet. And I would just start by a long walk each day and then work up to the gym stage. Bit by bit and your body will thank you

Hello folks. Well I restarted on Monday and so far so good. I am almost 15 stone and need to get to about 12. Work evenings in theatre so planning my meal shakes is a pain. Do love them mixed with ice , makes em nice and thick. Not keen on soups or bars so sticking with shakes. Good luck to all...

I am due to start AAM tomorrow and not sure what to do to be honest, I want to stay in ketosis and looked on the Exante web site and they do list a few meals but being a veggie its hard, I will eat a little fish if i must. Got the rose elliot low carb diet book for vegetarians and in...

Thank you for such an understanding reply I am back to 100% TS , was just one mistake and a little one. and all I can say is thank you to all on here. I read it every day so to keep me on the str8 and narrow Thank you again from deep in the heart

Ok OK , I was doing so well 100% all the way on TS. But I have sinned just the once and it was small. I work in theatre , some group had a small do and had left some real nice food. I had a very small quiche a whole round one but a mini one. My god it tasted good, but felt real...

Hi Nix192 You will find a list on here of drinks that you can have I have just looked for it but cannot see it now. It is not just coffee and tea. Just make sure its not go citric acid in it. I go for Dr pepper 0 just for a treat and Coke 0 also, but i also like shapers from boots , the water...

I use them in work and i drink up to four litres of water per day , and fact time use the stuff for water, today after one week i find i am out of ketosis not sure if its due to the powder or not

I asked by email to Exante Diet about Psyllium husks and got no clear reply. They say they provide fibber in the shakes but at same time did not say yes or no to having it. I have used it on and off for a few years and wanted to carry on during TS. Any one know if its 100% ok to take it.
