I emailed exante about how much drink mix I could have and got a rather useless reply:
>>> The water flavouring can be used while on the Total Solution but it does contain a minimal amount of calories and carbohydrates therefore when following Total Solution you should be aware that having to many extra carbs may take you out of ketosis (the amount varies from client to client). If you wish to monitor your ketosis levels, ketone sticks can be purchased from most chemists / pharmacies. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any further queries.<<<
I checked the packs and it says 3g, 3.3g and 3.4g carb per teaspoon for the peach, blackcurrant and orange respectively... It's over HALF carb!!
So my first day I tried a glass of each, liked the blackcurrant and had another pint of it then had some hot...
Seems I've probably knocked myself out of ketosis thanks to their drinks - WHY doesn't it give you a warning? Why sell the damn things for this diet? If you're drinking 2L + a day and you use 1tsp for each 250 mls that's 8tsp a day which is 24g carbs!!!
Really not happy with this!
