Need to lose 6 stone. Can I do Exante for 2 months then WW or SW?

[SparklingFairy]

I need a kick-start but not sure I can eliminate food for the entire summer. Would it be ok to switch to slimming world after losing on exante?

You may want to post in SW & WW to see if anyone has switched after losing weight on extanet

I don't see why not. Two months on exante will give your weight loss plan a great kick start. Go for it.

As long as you ease back into eating (check the other VLCD groups who have advice on refeed plans) I cant imagine why not.

You might find that you enjoy doing this tho - I know I planned to do this when I got to 2 - 2 and a half stone before my target when I first started this in February. I've lost 6 and a half stone now, 5 of that through exante and with 3 stone to go til I get to that marker that I thought I would switch I can say I won't be doing that now. I like the fast weightloss. I'm rambling lol but I'm just meaning that you might surprise yourself, I know I have. Xx

I think the main problem with SW and WW after exante is the rapid increase in calories.....when i gave up exante last year to go to SW my SW consultant told me to expect a few weeks of either a slight gain or a STS til my body adjusted and she was right. But after a few weeks i was losing weight again. Good luck xx

I'm planning on doing a similar thing - Exante for 10 weeks to holiday, then move onto my own low-carb, low-cal diet to shift the remaining stone or so after my holiday. I think the key is to not just switch straight to a low-cal programme like WW or SW, cuz that could well be high-carb - meaning you put on quite quickly after a VLCD. Check out the CD or LL forums for transitioning after a VLCD - I did CD before and remember there being a thorough re-feed programme.
Gluck!

SW isn't low-cal there is no calorie counting & it doesn't have to be high-carb.

I would have thought that SW is calorie-controlled, otherwise how would you lose weight?

It's food optimising, there are three plans you can follow each with unlimited free foods, you are allowed syns for choc, wine, mayo, gravy.......... It's brill & it works

I have lost about 6 1/2 stone on Exante and plan to lose 1 1/2 stone more then move on to weight watchers. If I can't do 100% days I will just have to move to WW sooner.

Thanks everyone. I did think that maybe I'd want to continue on exante once I see the big losses.
