Hi Stetson, as mentioned by cuddlyfairy I am trying Exante after a short but successful time on Lipotrim. My reason for changing was financial though and I had no problem with Lipotrim at all.
My initial impressions were that the shakes weren't quite as tasty as the LT ones, but in your case that may be a good thing if you don't like the taste anyway. I also add coffee, ice and a tablet sweetener to both Exante and LT shakes to help with the taste. On Lipotrim it only took me a few days to get used to the taste, however it has taken me a full week on Exante to settle down; now I quite enjoy (or at least am used to) to Exante shakes too. The flavours are vanilla, banana, strawberry and chocolate.
I did like the soups on Liptorim although I only had them during refeed and maintenance, whereas on Exante I have soups as part of the TFR diet. I also like the taste of the Exante soups and there are more flavours as well - mushroom, thai chicken, tomato and basil and vegetable.
For me the best part of the Exante diet over the LT diet are the nutrition bars - the equivalent of LT's flapjacks I guess. The bars come in nut, raisin and toffee flavour and also chocolate orange.
My Exante diet (Total Solution) consists of 1 shake, 1 soup and 1 bar, whereas on the male LT diet I was only having 2 shakes a day. I also think that the daily calory intake on Exante is slightly higher - approx 600 cals compare to 400odd on LT, although I'm not 100% sure if the male LT was 400. Having said that, I really feel that the weight loss is about the same. I lost 6lb on my first week (1 lb less than my 1st week on LT) and seem to be still losing this week too.
Another initial impression was that I was not getting as full as I was on the LT diet, perhaps because the male LT shakes are larger than the female shakes, whereas there is only one size on the Exante diet. After the first week I didn't notice that as much and have had very few hunger pangs.
Finally one thing I consider a bonus is having it delivered to me, rather than have it controlled by a pharmacist. I do believe that it is a good idea to have medical backup from the pharmacies, but having tried the LT diet, I felt I was able to continue on Exante without that 'safety net', and at the end of the day, after my initial consultation, I was only going to the pharmacist to get weighed and usually by a non-trained assistant.
As I said earlier, my reason for changing was different to yours, but I had no problems at all on LT, and if you can get used to the shakes then stick with what you know. However if you feel the need to try another, very similar diet, then I can see no reason why you can't carry straight on with Exante without it effecting what you have done with LT as they are both supposedly 'nutritionally complete' diets.
Sorry this turned out as such an essay, but I hope something here can help you or others. Good luck with whatever diet you follow.
