Here's a sticky thread in the main forum which tells you what you can have

 

[becky_1701]

i think its pretty much anything that has not got citric acid in from what i was readin on a post on here

 

[Starlight]

You have to be careful of calories, carbs, fruit etc not just citric acid

I used to be addicted to Diet Coke- about 4 litres a day and I never thought I would be able to give it up but I did.

The drinks mixes you can buy are quite nice. The only one in stock was the peach one. It is nice with sparkling water- drinking some just now.

What I would say is that although water might not taste nice to some people- it is important to stay hydrated doing this and I was led to believe that if you are drinking tea, coffee and coke zero- they should not count towards your water intake. Sparkling water is really nice- you get the fizzyness and it tastes clean! Does that make sense? Lol! Doesn't leave a coating on your teeth I suppose!

I have a can of coke zero on a sat night as a treat- just don't want to go OTT with it!

[helen ruby]

i weighted in on monday and have lost 10lbs in a weekhas anyone tried the soups and porriage any views on these would be good before i buy any

 

[becky_1701]

Im interested to knw that as well as im a bit fed up of just shakes and didnt know weather to buy the porridge or the soups

 

[sparklyfairydreams]

i got 5 free porridge in my bumper pack, have only started exante today and have had porridge for my breakfast, its nice, very creamy, not thick like normal porridge but nice enough

 

[jem_jem]

I ordered the bumper pack too.

Had the Tomato and Basil Soup and the Thai Chicken Soup. Both were lovely- although I think the chicken one would be better if I strained off the lumpy bits or used a blender!

I am saving the porridge for the weekends- got 5 free too!

You can have as much sparkling water as you want. I drink around 4 litres of water a day. I do not count Coke Zero, coffee or tea as my 4 litres because these fluids usually dehydrate the body so shouldn't count as your water intake.

I got two of the drinks mixes and they are really good. At least I know I def won't be out of ketosis.

Hope that helped!

I tend to stick to just water, to be honest. I have 2.5 litres of water each day, not including the water used in my shakes, and a small can of coke zero as my 3pm pick-me-up treat at work.

For the first week that tends to be enough for me, but as the weeks progress, and I start to feel the cold a bit more, I have a reduced salt bullion before bed to warm me up a bit

 

[Karazykat07]

To be honest, i do count coffee, tea and Dr Pepper Zero with my fluid intake.
I try and drink 2 litres of water a day but if i have 2 mugs of peppermint tea then i don't worry if i can't finish the 2nd litre of water.

I try to have 4 litres of water a day and then tend to have 3 black teas and a coke zero in the evening. IT's really just to keep me filled up and keep my mind off of food.

Regarding the porridge, I tried it for the first time last night and was pleasantly surprised, it was quite sweet and really filled me up

 

[jem_jem]

Oh- the porridge is amazing! Just thought I would let you all know! xxxx

 

[BabyBlueEyes]

I had the porridge this morning too and it was really good! And i don't even like porridge all that much x
