I am not mad about your opinion, I do not think that is appropriate for people to come and poo-pooh over other peoples diet plans because they don't like their philosophy. Again, if you are not a user of optifast or have a legitimate interest on using it, your opinion is misplaced in the thread that calls out for optifast…

In case you haven't noticed, this thread calls out for OPTIFAST users not REAL FOOD users. Which part of Optifast users you do not understand? Yes, opinions are to be expressed freely, however, they need to respect the organization of the topics. How people would like it if other people went to a "real food" thread and…

Of course you can. No one disputes that. All the optifast programs (through doctors and clinics) finish the program with you eating real and better foods. If you do not like the optifast program philosophy. Just don't do it! BTW, the thread is directed to optifast users, did your right the title: "Any Optifast users out…

You do it 5 times a day, so you do it in a span of 10-14 hours from the time you wake up. Usually the first one has more protein and calories.

You are supposed to do one every two hours and meal replacement here means that it was all the necessary nutrients and vitamins. If you do not like it, do not do it.

I am in my 8th week of Optifast an I am very pleased with the results. Ideally, I would like to lose a few more pounds, however, even if I stay at this level I will be very happy. I decided not to renew my Optifast supplies and starting this Saturday, I am going to do the whole30 program after the reading the book "It…

Good luck with the program!

This is not a fad (a fad doesn't last 25+ years). I feel better than ever since I started it! Optifast is not just the shakes, is a lifestyle change program. You start with the shakes for accelerated results (for a number of weeks) and then you transition to healthy food, better eating habits, and some exercising.

Thanks :) All the best for yours.

A probiotic restores the good bacteria in your gut and ensures proper functioning of the digestive system. Hang in there!

While it may sound disheartening, at least you lost some. I am not sure how much they help, but I get 2 B vitamin shots per week as a part of the program. They told me is supposed to keep my metabolism up. They also recommended that I should take a B complex vitamin, metamucil, and a probiotic every day, which I am doing…

A difference that I noticed is that Optifast has more protein than slim fast: 14g for the 800 formula and 26 for the high protein (HP) version. To get higher protein with slimfast you need to use milk with it.

I was like that around the fifth day. It is normal to experience some of that at the beginning (the guide I was given said that as well); it gets better as the time goes. Nevertheless, make sure that you mention that to the medical staff on your next visit.

Here is why I selected optifast: I tried eating better and exercise in the past that resulted in some weight loss, however, it was a very slow process for me (it took me 6 months to lose 10 pounds with better eating, weights and cardio ( about 4-5 hours a week)) and then I put that back in no time. I was prepared to do a…

I just started my Optifast diet on 7/14/13. So far I feel great. Good luck with yours!
