So, I’ve bought a big 2 week box of Exante meal replacements and they all so far taste grim! Has anyone had luck in “training” yourself into liking them?!

Hold your nose & neck it 😉

The bars get more and more disgusting. I eat them with a very strong black coffee chaser. The soups are the only thing I don’t mind too much — salty.

Is this your first day?

It’s my third day and I ended up spotting out the peanut bar, it was a gritty textured lump that made me gag! I had such high expectations! I’m too terrified to taste anything else at the moment

I hated it. Bars and meals are disgusting.

The shakes are ok if you make them with an ice cube or 2 in and whip them up in a blender.

It worked for me when I thought of it as weight loss medication rather than food.

My first ever one hit my stomach and came straight back up again. Never again.

I have so much of the stuff now! I’ll try again tomorrow. I had such high hopes. The reviews are all amazing!

I used to try dieting with shakes like these but tI has had much better success with eating very low carb real food.

If you have the milkshake flavours Luke raspberry, banana etc try blending them up with the right amount of water and a few ice cubes in hefty blender. The chill and added texture from the ice makes them much more palatable!

I’ve gone back to protein world shakes today in the same format- one for breakfast, one did lunch, then a 400 cal meal for supper.
The taste is so much better. I’m going to try the exante bars again tomorrow and hope for the best!!
