Ok my 2nd delivery of Exante products arrived this a.m. and for those keeping up, they will know I have been trying different water flavourings with some very different results.
The Exante blackcurrant flavour is VERY good. I had tried the orange but found it rather weak. So am over the moon to find an Exante one thats Good.
Hope this helps...

Good to hear it. Should make it easier to keep up your water intake. I've never much liked water flavourings and I'm not hugely keen on plain water either. So I tend to drink more tea (such as redbush, or peppermint, or other leaf type teas). I know plain water is best - but I just can't drink 2 - 3 litres of it..no siree.

Wasn't sure were to start with this, but here goes.
A couple of weeks ago I was getting a muscular ache around the shoulder area so went to visit my GP. He was very nice and congratulated me on my current weight loss etc. Then issued me with a presciption for my shoulder. The tablets worked wonders and the shoulder was as good as new within a few days.
However, after a week I was feeling nauseas bloated. Now having been on a VLCD for 15 wks I was pretty sure I knew how my body felt ( and something wasn't right). I decided to jump on the scales a day early and nearly fainted. The scales showed that I had gained 5lbs (Yes gained 5lbs).
My head went up my backside, depression set in, as I tried to work out what had gone wrong. I decided it must be the scales, so off to Boots I went. Jumped on the scales and waited for the printout (a gain of 6lbs) things were getting worse. So I racked my brains trying to work out what was going on.
I was using a different water flavouring but everything else was regimented except for one other thing. Those tablets for muscular aches.
One internet search later and I have found a forum full of people with weight gains due to Naproxen
rapid weight gain during naproxen use - Topix
It would appear that Naproxen encourages the body to retain water, and in my case as I was drinking 6-8 pints a day, I have a weight gain of 5lbs this week.
This is a warning to other dieters as Naproxen works brilliantly as pain relief, but the water retention is depressing.
Needless to say I am no longer using them and will put up with the pain.

What a nightmare Hopefully you'll drop those extra llbs quickly though and I hope the ache around your shoulders is much better now. Good luck for a decent WL on saturday, but if it's not as good as you want, the next week should be a whopper (once that water gain has left your bod).
It's such a pain when sick, coz it's difficult to find any medicine that you can take on a VLCD without it having an effect, such as you've experienced - or kicking you out of ketosis. Pah!

Thanks Suseka for your support.
I am thinking of moving my weigh in day to Friday, as it was last Friday that I discovered the Naproxen episode (and stopped using them) I have a print out from Boots with my weight on.
So I will be able to compare the difference over a week (Lord knows how long it takes to get the Naproxen out of my system)
but wish me luck.
I will let you all know tomorrow how I get on (legs fingers and eyes crossed).
