I want to loose 10-15kilos - I plan on doing the man plan for 2 weeks , then do it on 5:2 but sticking to a keto diet for the 5 days.

You come out of ketosis if you have to many carbs - over 60g I think

You should stay in ketosis as long as your net carbs don't go over a certain amount, there isnt a definite set level because it does vary between individuals, 25-50g is the general guide.

I only lost 1lb this week but I'm happy with that because it takes me to 50lbs total lost now.

Elizabethtailor · 19/09/2018 14:49

50lbs incredible!! Well done !!

GingerOClock · 19/09/2018 18:32

Wow! That was the inspiration I needed tonight Minnies... how long has that taken you?

Chattycatty · 19/09/2018 19:37

Day one starving!!! Just that

I've done 15 weeks now. Surprised myself by how well I've got on with it.

GingerOClock · 19/09/2018 20:48

Incredible Minnies - well done! Which plan are you doing?

MinniesAndMickeysNeedCounting · 19/09/2018 21:54

I'm doing total solution but I've altered it a little as the carb level for me was a little high from having 3 exante products a day so I make my own evening meal, something like salad/stir fry and lean fish/meat.

Chattycatty · 20/09/2018 14:56

Day 2 going much better than yesterday but I have been invited out for a meal by a very nice man tomorrow want to go but can’t exactly take a shake.

GingerOClock · 20/09/2018 21:01

Keep it low carb Chattycatty and you should be fine - enjoy!

Raech1 · 24/09/2018 19:16

Day 18 and 15 lb off SmileSmile woop woop I'm so in the zone !! Between 14-20 lb to go and I'm so determine. Just having 3 sachets a day or 2 sachets and 1 bar . Holiday booked middle of November Shock Hope everyone's doing ok .. X

Raech1 · 25/09/2018 17:54

Quick question . I'm going into week 4 on Thursday . Am I meant to have 2 meal replacements and 1 healthy meal or no meal replacements for that week ? Thanks x

Huffle · 25/09/2018 18:15

Evening! Can I join you ladies? Starting exante tomorrow, have done lighter life in the past and lost 4 stone and then had another baby and put it all back on 🙈 need to lose 4 if not 5 stone. What are everyone’s favourite packs? I’ve ordered porridge, pancakes a few shakes but not many as it’s getting cold!! Bars and the curry I think?

Raech1 · 25/09/2018 19:09

Hi Huffle . I love the curry , pancakes , black bean pot and porridge . Iv got a cabanarra and spaghetti Bolognese to try this week too. I also use the shakes and peanut butter bars too . Makes it easier when u have different choices . Good luck xx

Elizabethtailor · 25/09/2018 20:35

I prefer the shakes - easier to drink quickly whereas have found the food ones hideous. Carbonara being the most revolting- had to bin it!

Huffle · 25/09/2018 20:59

Thanks, will avoid the carbonara!!

MinniesAndMickeysNeedCounting · 25/09/2018 21:17

Raech1 think the website says to have 3 packs per day plus an extra 200 kcals e.g. added vegetables or reduce to 2 packs and they have some recipes on the website you can use.
Or they say you can add in 200 kcals of milk instead

Chattycatty · 26/09/2018 05:37

6.5lbs lost considering my weekend wasn’t the best I’m pretty happy.

MinniesAndMickeysNeedCounting · 26/09/2018 07:15

That's really good Chattycatty especially with your date. Hope it went wellSmile

Chattycatty · 26/09/2018 08:22

Thanks minnies it did .. so well I saw him Saturday night too.Grin

Elizabethtailor · 26/09/2018 21:08

Peanut butter bar revolting- really dense and hard to eat. Indian curry is growing on me. A bit like eating a pot of curry powder

Huffle · 26/09/2018 22:02

I’ve just had a peanut bar I quite enjoyed it!! Had lemon pancake earlier, that was nice too. Day one done, bit of a headache but so far so good!

Peachyk · 27/09/2018 07:02

Morning ladies- is it okay to join you all??
I'm on day 7 of total solution... going well, aside from an egg eaten 2 days ago. But in the grand scheme of things that's okay right?!
I'm 5ft2. Starting weight 10st 9. Current weight 10st 2. I was 8st before kids so would like to be 8st6 maybe.

I'm okay with 7lb loss.... but I've stayed the same for 3 days now, and feel quite puffy. Anyone experienced this? I'm drinking about 3 litres water a day but it's not helping. Feeling a bit disheartened tbh Sad

Chattycatty · 27/09/2018 08:41

Welcome peachyk I don’t know about Exante but on another diet I’d say you were heading for a whoosh of weight loss. Keep going

Peachyk · 27/09/2018 09:31

i really hope so! I'm doing the full month so will see...
