Awesome cool :)
I'm really confused. I'm on Total solution and it's my second day, I've read that I can only drink water, coffee and green tea.
Where is everyone getting this information from about the other drinks?

I have bought some Sainsburys kiwi and strawberry sparkling water tonight and sadly - it has citric acid in it,
Things change so make sure you check labels before you buy, just beware this isn't any longer OK

What I still don't really understand is, where is all this information coming from? Am I right in saying that all of these listed are just word of mouth?
My booklets states
"Drink around 2-3 litres of still or sparkling water per day. Black tea or coffee also count towards your fluid target. Tablet sweeteners can be used if required."
Nowhere does it state any other drinks or liquids that can be consumed. Don't get me wrong I happy for those who can consume other drinks and still lose weight, however I don't think that we should be advertising to other slimmers who want to utilise Exante's weight loss potential. After all, there is no way to tell whether or not you will lose the same amount whilst drinking these other drinks. Yes you may stay in ketosis but you may have lost an extra pound or two without drinking these so called allowed beverages.
I don't want to make any enemies on here as I am still new - just thought I'd share my rational thinking.

I would say the info comes from experience, and for those who want to follow exante down to a T that's fine, they will do.
For some its good to have a bit more choice, otherwise it can become boring.
It's down to the individual really - no1 is saying you have to have one of the drinks, but its good to know that even if you have one it most likely wont affect your loss. I wouldn't say that's a bad thing at all.
Exante state on their packets how to prepare the meals but tbh I don't follow them, I'll add more water and more seasoning to my taste. I think it's similar with the drinks, ok we can have water no bother, but you can have something else too but know it might have an impact, it might not, but its good to have choice xx

I know Ali, each to their own. I just fear that some people may not realise that these aren't hard facts and it wont work for everyone. I'm still on my first week of the diet, so I can't really say that I might not need to give some of these a try at some point!

A bin, and make sure it stays there? Hehe I don't know, I can't get on with green tea, or any of the minty ones either. I just take normal tea and make it very weak. Now and then I'll have a cup with skimmed milk, but only a drop to take the edge off.
Have you tried the exante water flavourings? I've got the peach one and it is very nice

Do you leave the tea bag in for too long?
I used to hate green tea because it tasted bitter.....I was then told if you leave the tea bag in for too long that's what causes the bitter taste.
I now just leave it in for about 1 minute and the tea tastes yummy.

Oh and I nearly cried today when I saw tescos didn't have their strawberry water anymore.
First they stopped the apple and now this!!
Are there ANY flavoured waters we can drink?
Flavoured water is what kept me going last time.

Does anyone know if it's possible to have a very small amount of milk with a cup of tea? I only have 2 cups a day and I wouldn't have thought two small splashes of milk would be anywhere near enough to take you out of ketosis, what do you all think?
