What can you drink on Exante

[notsoskinnymarge]

Good stuff
And it did not knock me out of ketosis... even better stuff
Might have to stock up on it, whilst its still on offer
It is very lovely.

I'm confused a bit. The bouillon has carbs in it, proteins calories etc. Also the Tesco squash has sugar.. Are they really ok to drink during this diet?

 

[Starlight]

Bullion is absolutely fine but I'm never sure about squash it would need to be sugar free I expect but I avoid it

 

[notsoskinnymarge]

I must admit, I was abit apprehensive about trying the squash I found.
I had 2 glasses last night, and remained in ketosis, so I dont think I would go above that amount a day.

How many cups of Bouillon can you drink a day and how much do you put in a mug full? As I am new to this diet I am a little wary of straying off it in any way.

 

[Starlight]

I put a heaped spoonful of bullion in a mug and Ive had up to 3 or 4 a day

The high juice has - no added sugar not sugar free and it has sodium citrate which is just another name for citric acid - however some people don't seem to be affected by citric acid anyway - it does say may knock you out of ketosis not will- everybody's different and it's up to you if you take the risk of finding out! I have had the odd diet coke in a pub and been fine bit who knows?!?

Asda diet cherry cola is OK. It contains malic acid and is lovely.

Great I'm going to treat myself to some next time I'm near an asda

The reason I limited my consumption was because hi-juice is no added sugar and not sugar free. It is 12kcals per serving, which, in limited quantities, I dont think is too bad
I was also a little unsure of the sodium citrate aspect of it, being very similar to citric acid (they are only one number different on the E number scale).
I did test myself, and it didn't knock me out of ketosis. But I totally agree with you, it may not be the same for everyone

Just went onto Asda Online and placed a little order of bars (really hope I like them as I hate the Exante ones) and looked for Asda Diet Cherry Cola but couldn't find it Ordered some Asda coke zero instead.

 

[Starlight]

Asda diet coke is nicer

Make sure you oredered the right bars, the meal replacement ones not the snack ones and check your delivery incase they substitute them

 

[Sarette]

Thanks Starlight, I will check, and will try the diet cola next time.

 

[Sarette]

Stupid Asda emailed me at 12.04 to say they were not delivering due to a technical failure. Going to store shortly, so will go for the diet cola instead

Hi does anyone know if Cardamom tea is ok as I love it and drink loads. Also what kind of Bouillion is ok and where to buy it?

Thanks.

 

[Antari]

The Marigold Organic reduced salt with the orange lid is the one I use.

Not sure about the tea though. I drink white tea myself. I am sure someone will let you know.

Thank you Antari, I've just ordered some online at ethical superstore.com
