Anyone tried or on Optifast? I am just starting out, it is a covered benefit program at my job and I wanted to take advantage of that. Day 2 and trying to imagine staying on shakes/soups only for the next 6-12 weeks. any suggestions/comments? Anyone done a cheat day with the plan?

    Hey I'm on Optifast with Kaiser. Lucky duck that your job's benefits cover it. I'm having to use flex spending. I'm on week 6 and have dropped 23lbs with minimal exercise and no real cheating. There are LOADS of ways you can toy with the foods to break up the monotony. I started the meal replacements on 12/5/12 and managed to get through xmas w/out any cheating. Are you using any bars or just the shakes/soups?

    My fav ways to take the foods:

    Vanilla Ready to Drink w/Diet A&W Rootbeer.
    Vanilla Powder w/hot water a dash of nutmeg, allspice, cinnimon & a splash of calorie free Torani Vanilla syrup (mmmm)
    The chocolate is good by itself chilled, some of my classmates are using it blended with ice. It's been so cold here I haven't been tempted by that yet.

    Well good luck and feel free to msg me. :)
