What times do you eat?

[reeesh]

Ive just started exante and yesterday I had the bar and milkshake for breakfast around 9am then the soup for dinner at 4pm.... today ive done the same...

should i be spreading them out? does it really matter?

went for a run this morning too ! full of energy

I dont think it really matters as long as you're having all 3 packs a day.
Also having them so early means you might get hungry in the evening but if you're ok with having them as early as you do then that's fine

I have mine as late as possible, usually after 3-4pm.

 

[reeesh]

what , you start eating at 3 o clock ??

 

[sleepy]

12pm, 4pm and 7.30 (bar last, unless I'd be out & about over a pack time) Its finding what works for you -I know personally, there's no way could I start at 9 then go through to the evening without anything but if it works stick with it x

 

[Biggie]

I have mine: bar 10-10:30am; soup 3-4pm and then shake 7-8pm

 

[Biggie]

I find it easier to take the bar with me, so I don't need to explain (or tell anybody at work) I am on a diet. I enjoy my cup of coffee and 'cereal bar' so they're not too nosy.

Biggie,i started on Wednesday too,how's it going?

Oh and to answer the op,i have 3 shakes,one at 10am,one at 3pm and one at 8pm.

 

[Blue Butterfly]

what , you start eating at 3 o clock ??

Yep, and sometimes later than that if I can hold out for longer!
I stay up really late and in the evenings is when I get bored and start snacking so I save my packs til my 'danger time'

Thanks mellowbird, I've been 100% TS so far. Not easy but doable I feel not that great (have a cold) but I'll be fine. This is temporary feeling, ketosis will come and then it is much easier. You keep going and stay on the track with me hun!

 

[mellowbird]

I had a pink ketostix this morning! take it this means i'm in ketosis? yay!!

So happy i heard about exante and found this great place : )

I dont have my first one til about 730pm

 

[mellowbird]

wow Starlight! do you have them all close together or do you go to bed very late?

 

[Starlight]

I tend to be up til around 0100/0200 so I have one around 1930 one maybe about 2200 and one around midnight (usually hot chocolate)

 

[mellowbird]

So during the day you don't eat?

 

[valentine]

Dont think it matters in the slightest when ya have them as long as ya have ya 3 packs a day your doing TS and thats it..... i have mine when i fancy but like starlight i tend to have them later rather than early in the day xx good luck and do what suits you xx

 

[missbiker]

I have no set pattern, some days I "need" my first before 7am, other days it can be 2pm! My dangerous time is when I start a stretch of nights at work, and I need to make the 3 packs last 24 hours

As long as I have my 3 packs, I tend not to worry too much (although admit LL was "easier" because it was 4 packs )

So during the day you don't eat?

But Im not eating period. I dont have packs til the evening but I dont class them as food.

During the day I have coffee/flavoured water/coke zero

 

[Petal01]

I have all mine on the evenings after 6pm. I can go all day with nothing apart from water but evenings are a different ball game for me

 

[ww_horror]

I am waiting till afternoon for my "lunch" pack which is a shake, then 5-6 pm my dinner is a soup and 8-9 pm is supper is my bar.
I must munch in the evening.

I tend to have bar between 8am and 10am depending on whether work day or weekend. Then shake between 1pm and 3pm. Then soup around 6pm- 7pm
