I know people are going to say none of them ... please don’t!

I don’t know whether to go with Cambridge, which I’ve done before and worked but now seems to be an MLM, lighter life, which you can buy in Superdrug, or exante ... slim and save another possibility? Any thoughts?

Just buy a bag of plain whey powder and make your own drink with something like unsweetened soya, oat or almond milk, a teaspoon of whey, and a teaspoon of psyllium husk. 200mls comes in at under 150 calories.
If you dont like the taste then add some yoghurt.

I've done exante for a few weeks and lost over a stone. I'm on holiday at the mo but will go back on for a week or so to get the holiday weight off. I sustained the weight I'd lost when I wasn't on it too.

I love herbalife. I think its similar to others, so easy to follow! It is a mlm but I don't buy into that. I only use the products, I've never sold them on or have the desire to do so!

Thanks but I won’t support any MLMs

What about the fast 800? At least you get to chew something.

Slim and save is my favourite from your list though. Cheaper and tastier in my opinion.

PizzaTaste · 21/07/2019 14:19

If we are talking cheapest it’s Slim and Save for sure

raspberrypeachmango · 21/07/2019 14:36

Well it’s definitely the most effective that I’m after Smile

It's all calorie deficit, just pick one that tastes best, my colleague is drinking Huel and said it tastes good & has all the nutrients you need.

VLCD only work for short time, have a look at James Smith on Facebook & watch his videos

I'm using Exante. The FB groups are a good support.

I'll be honest, the stuff isn't great, ypu get used to it, but it works.

I've just done a week on Slimfast. Just the shakes - not their awful bars (I know I'd eat ten in one go if I thought they were in the house.)

It tastes okay and I lost 7 lb.

Very glad to be back on actual food now, though. I have found that I'm so excited to be eating meat/fish/eggs/vegetables/salad again that I am capable of resisting bread and potatoes.

DharmaInitiativeLady · 21/07/2019 15:57

I have been on exante for 12 days and lost a stone :)

If you can get through the first few days until you are in ketosis, you're away 🙂

TheInebriati · 21/07/2019 16:27

I lost 7lbs in 2 weeks doing Fast 800, that was 8 weeks ago and I haven't put any back on. So I'm doing it again starting Monday to shift some more.

Boneshere · 21/07/2019 16:55

I'm on Exante. Lost 105 lbs within 13 months with a six month hiatus in the middle.
Meals are only 85p if you do the 100 products for £85. Free postage and next day delivery.

Avoid the yogurt ones though, they are disgusting!
