Are 4 packs per day, plus snack okay?

Hi all,

I'm at the end of day four on exante total solution, and I am officially in ketosis

I thought your appetite was suppossed to reduce by a lot, but it hasn't for me yet. I have been lurking the forums, and some people say that they don't even want their three packs a day, and have to force them down. Will my appetite reduce by any more now that I am in ketosis? Here's what I've had...

Day one- 3 packs, plus 3 slices of ham, three small chicken chunks, sugar free jelly.
Day two- Four packs, plus nibble of chicken thigh, plus sf jelly.
Day three- Four packs, plus a palm sized portion of roast pork.
Day Four- 3.5 packs, plus small chicken leg.

I'm not unbearably hungry, but I just don't feel satisfied on just three packs. Is it okay to eat 4 a day, or will that bump up my protein levels too high and bring me out of ketosis? I'm quite tall at 5 foot 8, and I weigh 14 stone 12. I have lost a stone in the past month eating a low calorie real food diet.

I think you should call and ask Exante tbh. I think its more of a problem from vitamins/nutrients thats added as you'll be having more than whats calculated. Can you not just have 3 packs and some protein maybe? Eggs have no carbs.

Hi, did you check your ketosis with those sticks ?
I'm coming to the end of day 3 now and feeling starving i would love to be able to have a couple of poached eggs at the end of the day it would give me something to look forward to.
I was also missing milk in tea but took someones advice on here and put a little vanilla shake in done the trick and tastes yummy.

Good luck on your journey with Exante,

More than the calorie intake that would worry me with 4 packs, it's the carbs. The packs are calculated so that with 3 a day you'll stay just low enough to get into and stay in ketosis. If you need to eat in addition to the packs, why not do working solution?
But I would stick to 3 packs definitely, and then add some carb free food if needed.
