What You Can & Can’t Have Whilst On Plan
Amazing results are possible with our plan, especially when you follow it 100%. Knowing what you can and can’t have whilst on plan is key to maximising your success. With this in mind, here’s the lowdown…
To get the most out of our plan and maximise your results, it’s absolutely worthwhile knowing what you can and can’t have while on plan. As a general rule, stick to 4 of our meals per day, drink 4 litres of water daily and add in a couple of snacks each week, if you want.
Our plan has been designed to be nutritionally complete, while your body is in ketosis. If you stray from the plan, we can’t guarantee you will stay in that planned calorie deficit. You’ve made a big commitment and we’re sure you want to see maximum results so it’s important to know what you can & can’t have while on plan.

BREATH FRESHENER
Need to freshen up? Listerine Original Breath Strips can be your go-to.

- Tea – from a leaf
- Green teas – only from a leaf and root
- Black coffee
- Beanies Coffee – any flavour
SWEETENERS
Tablet form sweeteners are ok by us.
MEDICINES & VITAMINS
Feeling ill sucks, but we’re sure it will make you feel better just to know there are some relief medicines that you can dose up on.
- Cold relief tablets – please contact [email protected] to check the brand is ok to take with the plan
- Multivitamins – tablet form only and not flavoured
- Fibre gel – unflavoured
- Senokot/Dulcolax tablets, Benefibre or Psyllium Husk
- Painkillers in tablet form only
