Total Solution Starting out

[Drastic]

Hi all, just started on the Exante diet and have not been able to get off the ground. It is not easy. Most difficult thing is avoiding beer and finding anything that can be ordered in a pub for that matter. Still, I've heard it is possible to lose a lot of weight so I'm kicking off again tomorrow. Anyone know if diet coke will put me out of ketosis?

No diet coke. Just coke zero. Critic acid in diet coke will kick u out of ketosis.
Hope u have better luck this time

Some people have been able to have 1-2 cans of diet coke and it not knock them out others it has i think so if just try coke zero

I drink any diet drinks. Diet coke, fanta zero, sugar free red bull, no added sugar squash... It doesn't have any effect on my ketosis or losses but it is different with everyone and might effect you.

Stay away from the pub!!!! I'm on TS and have learnt that its the pub that put me in this over weight situation. Stick to coke zero but only have it as a treat i.e weekends or after a long work out.

Why only have coke zero as a treat...?

I don't think I'd be able to do this diet if it meant not going to the pub. I'm happy not drinking so always have diet coke. I only go to the pub at the weekend, that is where I socialise with my friends I've not seen in the week. I took the choice to let myself drink diet drinks so I don't feel like a recluse! Tried going and drinking just water... It was very dull...

Diet coke will more than likely kick ur out of ketosis and make the diet harder and defeat the purpose. I suppose it's really up to urself though. What's important to u? U won't be on this diet forever so maybe a few misses at the pub could help u get long term happy
