    Protein Options

    I wonder if you can use anchovies? *suspicious face* not that youd want 100g of anchovies :D but I reckon you could knock together a fairly decent salad nicoise with some tuna, egg, olives, salad and a few anchovies. Thatd be pretty good for summer.

    Question - Ketosis?

    That may have been a comparatively high protein meal but also high fat. Better to go for lean meat items other than bacon. Also try to avoid fried foods, poached eggs are just as mice as fried eggs if you ask me and you can easily substitute one for the other. There is a thread in the ws...

    What can you drink on Exante

    I went a bit crazy in sainsburys yesterday - they do three flavoured still waters with malic acid - cranberry and raspberry, apple and blackberry and peach. 70p per 1.5ltr, not on offer at the moment. They also do a flavoured sparkling water strawberry and kiwi which has malic acid but that...

    I hate water!!

    A proper tea mug is about 300ml so if you have one black tea/coffee in the morning, one at lunch and one in the evening thats pretty much a litre in itself and I personally would happily drink at least that in a normal day. I probably easily drink a litres worth of tea when Im home in the...

    Total Solution Mushroom soup

    The first mushroom soup I had I didnt really like though I still ate it. The second one I had I tried adding some tarragon which made it much nicer to my mind. Tarragon is quite a strong herb though so maybe not suited to everyone.

    Ive really got to get out of the habit of daily (or more!) weighing. My weight went up 1lb this morning from yesterday and Ive been non stop 100% and was out in the garden digging yesterday so thought that might 'help'. You've got to think of the bigger picture though, overall I am losing and...

    Bars?

    They only had the chocolate ones in the BIG tesco near me too - I got some to try. Much prefer them to the Exante ones which I find a bit too dry.

    London meet?

    Hiya - Im in Croydon, 31, no kids, no pets, single, just started exante TS on Wednesday and Im up for meeting up. Maybe more people would voice an interest if there was a rough date for the meet? Im free most weekends and evenings and occasional weekdays but I think a daytime thing would be best?

    What can you drink on Exante

    Oops, I have been drinking Lady Grey tea quite a lot at home as I found some tea bags asa change to normal black tea. Have just found it it does actually have citrus in it and therefore probably citric acid :( Going to finish my current mug then replace it with Earl Grey. What a donkey!

    What can you drink on Exante

    I think your best bet would be a steak with green salad, no dressing instead of chips and no sauces. The only starter like thing I can see that might be alright is the chicken wings but that kind of depends on what they put on them! Im no expert though - Im sure someone with abit more...

    Is it always the same courier company? I got the email saying they couldn't deliver yesterday which I was expecting but when I got home after collecting my stuff from the depot there was no card.

    Total Solution Eating out

    Duck meat is quite fatty. There is a thread on here about exante recipes, you might want to have a look at It for ideas of what is ok. Generally go for lean meat or fish and green veg. Avoid carbs and sauces and fruit! You can probably ask for dishes without a sauce or with salad/green veg...

    Total Solution Eating out

    Exante FAQs

    Hey, it might be worth discussing it with your GP but Im not sure there would be any real reason for you to not be able to do it. I think, from looking at the info on peoples profiles there are a few that have started with a similar weight to yours. Good luck anyway!

    Hi everyone, I have signed up now to be ready to hound you all for support and advice as I am looking to start Exante at the beginning of March. Have had so many things going on that I feel that is the earliest I can start so I am trying to do research and mentally prepare myself for it.
