Exante meal replacements

600 calories only and exercise on top of it? Hate to tell you that that's a recipe for disaster. VLCD even monitored by DOCTORS at 500 calories don't recommend any exercise due to the calories being so low.
Also, you may have to worry about your hair falling out and other health issues because a diet that low in calories reduces the amount of NUTRIENTS you NEED to be essentially healthy. So things like anemia are not uncommon. So you may fit the dress, but may come in with thinner hair and dark circles under your eyes.
You're better bet is a moderate reduction paying attention to your total overall calories and not going under 1200. How do I know this? Because I've trained several hundred females getting ready for a wedding.

Thank you so much for your response. When I say exercise, it's only a slow jog as I am not fit enough to do anything more! I suppose it's a desperation thing. Exante warn of the hair loss, but do assure that all the supplements are loaded with all RDA vitamins and minerals. I find losing weight difficult as I am in remission from cancer, (medullary Thyroid carcinoma) and my weight ballooned, due to a messed up metabolism (and eating crap food if I am honest) I was told by my endocrinologist that weight loss would be slow....... so this thing was a desperate measure. Thank you once again for taking the time to response. You sound like you know your onions xx

Is your doctor OK with this? Probably better to not compromise your health any more than you have to. Be kind to your body. It's already been through a lot of trauma. Not sure this is worth it, just to zip a dress up.

TRUTH: It isn't necessary to be extreme to lose fat fast.
Your current plan is extreme!

Well I guess I will give it my best shot as I have paid for it now lol! To be honest..... I am not sure how long I could keep up with just 3 products a day, will keep you posted xx

How about using the products, but also adding food? Use the drinks as snacks/breakfast, but eat main meals at lunch and dinner?

The exercise doesn't matter, it's the amount of calories LESS that you're getting in. And if you're suffering from an actual disease, malnutrition is worse because it COMPROMISES your immunity system. I would go see a Registered Dietician to get better insight. I know it's your wedding, but if this causes a relapse in your cancer, is it really worth it? Is it fair to the person you're getting married to?
