Thinking of changing

[moomoo13]

I need to order my next batch of products as only enough left to last till Friday.

Just checked out slim and save whilst I was browsing and they have so many more flavours of shakes and nicer flavoured bars so was thinking of maybe trying that instead, not that I dont like Exante but a bit more variety would be nice.

Has anyone done slim and save?
What is the difference between the 2?
Would you recommend?

Thanks x

Your best bet is to ask in the slim and save section hun because I know there are a few people over there who have gone from exante to s&s.

I had thought about changing to slim and save myself because of their bigger range of products but as exante is working for me I dont want to change now......dont fix what's not broken right

Thanks Blue. I have posted in the slim and save section but it doesnt appear to be very active or have many posts going on so not sure if will get a reply.

I order the shakes one month bumper pack on Exante and for the same price you can do a mix n match of shakes, bars and meals.

I might try it out and if it doesnt work then come back to Exante.

I dont want to leave the Exante forums though if I swap :cry:

I looked into it and got some free samples . Firstly you have to have 4 packs or 3 and a multi vitamin ( how that is safe I dont know .. ) , so doesnt work out much cheaper ... the packs I tired were nice but very small , the shakes were thin and didnt satisfy me and the bars were amazing .. but about 1/2 the size of the exante ones and the spag bol was nice but again very little of it .... I decided to stick with exante as didnt like the way S&S was run .

Ive no desire to change from Exante but I've ordered a sample of S&S chicken soup and 2 of their meals. Sometimes in this horrible weather I just feel I need more but IF I do have them it'll be as well as my 3 Exante packs not as a replacement. Im too worried about messing up the nutrients etc so Id rather err on the side of caution

I love the shakes I have and the porridge so Ill be sticking with Exante

Thanks for the replies. I have decided to try a weeks worth and see how I get on. Its the bars that appeal to me the most, they sound delicious. Will probably be back on exante in a week, lol x

Good luck with you slim and save week

 

[moomoo13]

Thank you Blue. Still on Exante for the rest of this week x

Will do. It has arrived today so will be starting at weekend when my Exante packs run out. They sent a shaker, 30 days of multivitamins and 2 tapemeasures all free of charge x

Ive tried the spag bol and crispy choc shake (made with water) and the lemon bar... they were all really nice.. i also tried the porridge but i thought it was revolting (scrambled egg in texture) .. ive decided to do a mix and match from next month... mainly cos the savoury meals are so appealing... there is only so much shakes and soup n porridge a girl can put up with... As for the vitimins im sure they wouldnt be able to advertise it as a tfr if it wasnt safe to do it with a multi vit tablet...
I also sort of think that when we are eating a "normal food diet" do we ever actually get all the vitimins??? i very much doubt it...
I think its each to their own but what ever you chose just adhere to the guidelines eh ... xxxx

S and S is I think a TFR if you have 4 packs

After seeing this post I ordered a few samples from S&S, I really like the Exante shakes combined with Tesco bars but thought this might add a bit of variation now and again.

I ordered spag bol, choc truffa bar and a hazlenut shake. I didn't order the soup or porridge as Exante porridge is lush and I don't like Exante soup so no reason to think I would like S&S soup.

I had the spag bol tonight, it looked and smelt like baby food once cooked and was about the size of a baby portion so I put it in my nephews baby bowl to eat It was nice enough, probably wouldn't have it again as it wasn't gorgeous and as I said I do actually like the Exante shakes.

The chocolate truffa bar... now that's another matter entirely! It was absolutely divine! Very small but felt like a real treat so I just nibbled at it to make it last longer!

Can you do the crispy choc/vanilla shakes with water cause I noticed earlier that is says make with skimmed milk for then 2 and if you can do it with water I would prefer to do that.

I know my old diet of burgers, chips, chocolates, crisps etc the list goes on, I definitely didnt get all the recommended vitamins/minerals etc so surely 3 packs and a tablet as they recommend will be absolutely fine x

I really like the exante shakes too but was just starting to get a bit bored of the same 4 flavours so have ordered this for variety really. I cannot wait to try the bars they sound delicious and I havent heard a bad review yet. Think I will still get a couple of tesco ones in though for when I need something a bit bigger

I thought the meals would resemble baby food and thats kind of what put me off, even though my 7 months old food often looks appealing when all you've been having is shakes so maybe I'd like them x

I can beat that... I thought the cat food smelt quite pleasant this morning! :jelous:

Tried the final S&S sample tonight, the hazelnut shake. I had a few sips and could have forced it down if necessary but it wasn't anywhere near as nice as the Exante shakes so I threw it away and will have an Exante shake instead!
