WHat do you people think about the exante water flavourings? I tried the peach one yesterday and thought it was quite nice but tested my self this morning with a ketostix and it not pink anymore! Surely these shouldn't knock u out off ketosis! But I've been 100% other than the flavouring!

How much did you have? IIRC it's 3g carbs per teaspoon, and as the diet is already giving 60-65g carbs a day depending on whether you have a bar, you could well be knocked out of ketosis by it.

It could only be that that knocked me out of ketosis! some people are more carb sensitive than others
I seem to be very sensitive to carbs whereas some people stay in ketosis on a higher carb intake! and it depends if your on shakes only your carb intake is lower than if you have bars as well x

Course it could be youre not actually out of ketosis at all and its those damn sticks doing what they do allll the time and giving false readings.
The water flavourings are designed to be used as part of the diet its unlikely a small amount would affect your ketosis.
I think Boots have the right idea - they dont sell the things if they know a person is on a VLCD
Bin the sticks and use the flavourings in moderation

I agree, the sticks are a menace. They put you off faster than daily weighing. Ignore the sticks, carry on regardless, it's the reduced numbers of calories that produces weight loss. Measuring of ketones is notoriously unreliable, keep on drinking the water, it works.

Ahhh but how do you know they are when they're saying you're out of ketosis
Seriously though you should see the huge number of posts on Minimins from people who say the sticks say they're out of ketosis when they've not deviated at all from the plan
If you've stuck to the plan and had a few drinks with flavourings then I'd say they're lying to you
