There’s no fear of ‘sins’ or ‘points’ with exante. We don't restrict or attach guilt to certain food groups. Instead, we understand that everybody has a different starting point, end goal, and relationship with food. Our products intend to inspire healthy habits and help you build a positive mindset towards your diet.
We want our products to be enjoyed as flexibly as possible and have therefore simplified our plans to ‘weight loss’, ‘weight management’ and ‘keto’.
exante for weight loss:
We recommend swapping 2-3 meals per day with exante meal replacements, followed by 400-600kcal healthy meals and snacks(1). However, if you are unsure, we always recommend customers consult with a GP before embarking on a meal replacement diet.
exante for Weight Management:
We recommend swapping 1 meal per day with an exante meal replacement. Consume balanced meals and snacks to help maintain your goal as part of a balanced diet(2) and healthy lifestyle. We recommend following the NHS guidance to drinking 2L of water per day to stay hydrated, and lightly exercising for 30 minutes per day to stay active(3).
Have the plans changed recently?

Some customers have found consuming 800 calories or 1,200 calories to work well for them, however your daily calorie allowance is your preference. To ensure you’ll be in a calorie deficit, you can work out how many calories you need to maintain, and consume slightly less than the figure using the link here.Are there any restrictions on food and drinks?
We encourage enjoying exante with a balanced diet. Incorporating lots of fruit, veg and protein. Plus, a healthy mixture of carbohydrates, grains and healthy fats. There are no restrictions on what you choose to make up those calories, but we encourage you to track these through food diaries or apps.
To increase flexibility even more, we have removed the ‘approved food list’, milk allowance and fruit restriction which was set a while ago. Eating these will not hinder your weight loss, ensuring you remain in a calorie deficit is the main principle of weight loss.

What’s the difference between the meal replacement products and keto shakes?
Our meal replacement products are for following a calorie controlled plan, so they are high protein, fibre and contain 27 vitamins and minerals.
Our Keto shakes are designed for a keto diet, as they are sugar-free (as consumed) high in prebiotic gut-friendly fibre(4), contain 7g MCT coconut and up to 15g healthy fats. For more information on the keto shakes, read here:
Can I have keto shakes whilst following a calorie counted diet?
For best results, we’d recommend enjoying the keto shakes on a keto diet. However, the nutritional information is on the website should you want to incorporate them into your calorie controlled plan.
We hope this helps you understand how you can achieve your weight goals with exante. If you have any more questions, feel free to get in touch with us via social media – our friendly customer service team are happy to help!
