I chose S&S over Exante as they did a sample pack- I stuck with S&S because I loved the samples and realised Exante didn't do meals so I never got round to trying! I did bid on some Exante bars on ebay but the pic of them was on a carpet floor and I thought..... I don't want to eat stuff from other people's floors!

Hey everyone, im currently looking into either doing exante or slim and save, dont know how to decide they both sound very similar, how did u choose?

I am also a juice only girl, no tea,coffee,fizzy pop etc. I was also going to put a small amount of robinsons no added sugar in my bottles of water and hope its ok

xx

The Robinsons juice is a no no on a VLCD. There are very few drinks that are ketosis friendly. It could easily keep you out of ketosis. Especially if that's all you drink. Go for a safer option or get water flavourings

 

[stef2009]

yeah i would be abit paranoid about buying on ebay, prob wouldnt save that much anyway!

Hairloss- Gonna see how i go on

And robinsons is a no-no but someone on here uses a very tiny bit and still does ok... will see how that one pans out, or will use the flavouring! xx

If I really needed flavoured water I think I'd buy the Coke Zero or some of the flavoured waters with Malic acid. I wouldn't fancy using squash personally. I'm probably a bit odd though as I quite like plain old water and I very rarely have anything but plain water and earl grey tea.

Hair loss does affect some people when they are on a vlcd. Might be worth posting something about it on the vlcd forum.

I did a bit of research because I was losing my hairline quite rapidly and came across a suggestion to use essential oils. 10 drops of rose mixed with 10 drops of sage. Leave sealed to mix for about 2-3 days. Massage onto scalp and leave over-night. Rinse off in the morning. Continue this process daily for as long as you need to.

Also, add some rose&sage into your regular conditioner.

I've only been doing this for about a week so I can't really sing the praises of this remedy yet. Fingers crossed x

If i can get water flavourings or buy flavoured water from the shop thats allowed i'll be doing that, if not i may have to have a splash of juice as i'd never be-able to follow the diet drinking plain water, it makes me gag <-- weirdo lol

Brilliant thanks hun will have alittle look into that for hair-loss, hey who knows it might make my hair stop falling out! xx

If you really can't drink plain water don't just have anything in it. Pick something that won't affect ketosis. There areca lot of flavoured waters etc you can have safely. Check out the drinks sticky thread in the Exante forum

 

[stef2009]

Thankyou i will x

There is also a link to the Exante drinks sticky in the Frequently Asked Questions sticky on the main S&S forum.

Got a huge list and off to sainsburys later lol I think buying the water etc will cost more than the bloody diet ha. maybe i'll have to learn to love water

I think someone said it was 2 sticks per day but I'm not entirely sure.

The hairloss doesn't sound normal to me to be honest. Have you spoken to anyone about it?
