Im on Exante, but I also do Slim and Save, so I have a day on Exante, and the next on S&S etc. I need the variety, its the only way that I can do a VLCD, as I get bored so easily.
The wafers I think are not full TFR, but I have used them as a snack- if I really need to munch, I rather have diet food to snack on then going back to regular food etc. However, lately I have found the wafer too sweet, and I eat several at a time. So Im off that, for now.
The spag bol, is nice and I cook it on the stove and it feels awesome to add herbs etc, to it- Its like Im actually cooking and I think that helps me, as eating is so much more than just putting food in your mouth. Its about the build up as well, the anticipation of food being cooked, the smell etc- yeah, Im quite strange.
Anyway, I think the best thing to do, is to try what is best for you. I know alot of people have mentioned that S&S, is the same as other products- Dietimeal, Kee Diet etc, however it has been made specifically for weight control/weight loss. As long as your aware of what your buying, theres no real issue in my opinion on buying from a middle man such as Rob. Its similar to buying an Apple Ipod from Argos etc, lol what a weird comparison.
Regarding the whole multivitamin issue, yes other packs give you your 100% RDA and with Slim and Save you dont get that from just your packs alone. But in my case before I started dieting, my food choices were bad- I had no fruits and partial veg, my diet was not balanced and I was not taking any extra vitamins. So to me, being on a vlcd and taking the extra vitamin, has been beneficial to me, as I am so much more aware of what my body requires. Yes, people have posted that by taking items that are not like other VLCD which provide everything, that you are taking a risk with your health-life. I understand that, but we take risks with our health is so many ways- smoking, alcohol etc. I dont think that I have been good to my body, hence the need for me to lose weight and to re program my outlook to eating.
This whole post, is just my personal opinion.
