day one went ok as finished off my lighter life shakes......i will never complain about that diet again!! There is a reason it costs so much more than this diet!

I had a chocolate shake for breakfast and half of a tomato soup sachet - it was disgusting! The chocolate looked and smelt like chocolate, it stops there! Dont even get me started on the PINK tomato soup.........how will i cope with this diet??
 
Well everyone else seems to manage with them fine. There may be one or two youre not keen on but I know theres none I dislike enough to warrant paying an extra £15 or so with.

Try adding sweetner to the chocolate or having it hot. You can add various things to the soup too.

Well everyones 'different' the only product i dislike is the vegetable soups.!!

But heeyy no big deal really.
good luck
 
I love the choc shake! I grant u the soups are a little harder to cope with!

People said I would actually start to like them and they were right, I don't mind them at all now. Except for the mushroom, I find that really gross!

To improve add extra water, lots of salt and pepper, hendersons relish, chilling flakes! That helps me!

Stick with it, it's worth it!!
 
Chilli flakes rather - silly iPhone!!
 
My first ever post was about how disgusting the strawberry one was, well I have to tell you by my 3rd I was addicted. I do add 2 splenda sweetners to them but they are lush!!

I like then that much that when I quit Exante for 4 days I missed them :( and am relieved to be back on them.

Your taste buds will change as I'm sure you know being on LL.
I actually thought the CD ones were nicer than Exante until I tried an old one I had in the cupboard. It was not nice it was bitty and not creamy at all!

You will end up liking them. Everyone does on the end :)
 
Oh and I dont use the soups so I can't comment on them, I didn't like them on CD though which is why ice avoided them! X
 
I'm with you on the soups, thai chicken was fine but the tomato was horrid. I do like all the shakes, there's no fake taste to them and they're not overly sweet so that matches what I like pretty much. Maybe try another flavour, you might be surprised.
 
oh dear....I'm ex-LL too, but can say hand-on-heart that I prefer the Exante shakes as I have more choice. Try not to keep comparing the food packs to LL ones, and I'm sure you'll find some that you like - you can't really dismiss the whole plan on the basis of trying 2 packs!!!
 
i said the same on day 1 lol day 7 still wont have chocolate,tomato soup,mushroom soup or vanilla yuk (2 me they r ) but love the others now :)
 
Yeah, been down the LL route too a while back and do find Exante much creamier but possibly not as sweet. Have to say though enjoy Exante much better.
 
Me either - the choc and vanilla are my favs.
Never had LL, but was on CD and (apart from the choc tetras, which I had a serious addiction to!) I prefer the Exante products. I hate Cambridge bars and found the shakes artificially sweet.
Exante shakes are lovely. Tomato soup is my fav out of them, but not a massive soup fan overall. Could live off the choc orange bars!
 
i have to agree with the tomato soups but love the mushroom , my fave is vanilla shake made with hot water n add coffee mmmmmmm allmost as agood as being in thorntons !! ha ha
 
ahhhh thanks for all the replies guys!! I will try a strawberry shake tomorrow and a veg soup and let you know how i go!!
 
it really is true that you get used to them. I was the same as you at first, didnt think I would be able to do it but I actually enjoy it all now. Lots of ice and sweetner in the shakes and chilli flakes in the soup (I dont think I will ever enjoy the tomato ones though, lots of chilli in those ones) Good luck, hope u stomache it a bit better tomorrow
 
hi starlight haha there horrid ive tried all sorts with them but at least they are some i like on LT i only liked chocolate got quiet boring
 
terrible start.....put hot water in my strawberry shake by accident! cant waste it - so im drinking it :9529: - washing it down with Dr Pepper Zero!!
 
Eww that doesn't sound fun.
 
I agree, tomato soups (exante) are horrid, really horrid, I have had a cold for a couple of days so cant taste now - not sure if thats a good thing ;)
