One of the most common questions we get asked is ‘can I exercise while on an Exante Diet Plan?’ – we have created this blog to answer this question for you!
The short answer is ‘it depends’ – there are four Exante diet plans, and each of these allow for different levels of exercise. Below, we will look at the level of exercise that we recommend for each plan and give you some suggestions on ways to work-out!
Meal Replacement Plans
Exante 800 Calorie Diet PlanOur exante 800Plan involves reducing your calorie intake by replacing your meals with our nutritionally complete meal replacement products and combined with 200 calories of balanced foods.
Due to the calorie-restrictive nature of this meal replacement diet plan, we do not advise that you undertake strenuous exercise while on the exante 800 Calorie Diet Plan. We also suggest that, if you do undertake heavy exercise at any time on this plan, you consume the calories back that you have burnt off.
Exante 1200 Plan
Our Exante 1200 Plan is a more flexible, diet plan in which you consume 1200 calories a day from two exante meal replacement products, and a balanced meal or snack!
As this plan is less restrictive on calorie intake, you can undertake light exercise on the plan. However, we do not recommend over 30 minutes of exercise as your caloric intake is still significantly reduced, and remember that over-exercising could be harmful for your body.

5:2 Diet Plan
Our 5:2 Diet Plan is an intermittent fasting plan, which usually involves two non-consecutive days of ‘fasting’ (in which you consume 3 Exante meal replacement products, and 200 calories from a balanced meal) and five days of balanced meals and healthy eating a week.

On your non-fasting days, you can undertake exercise as usual! On fasted days, the restricted exercise advice given for our total meal replacement plans apply.
