Sorry about the miss spelling in the previous post. I presume no one here has tried Optifast. Apparently they have been around for years and are recommended by doctors to obese patients. I only have about 19lbs to loose but just cannot seem to do it on my own. For the past 4 days I have replaced my breakfast and lunch with a high protein and low carb shake...however, I have just realised the tub I bought is a supplement and not a meal replacement. I live in Oz and dont like the taste of Slimfast and not sure about Celebrity Slim.

Any thoughts??

Thanks
Bren

Hiya

I remember seeing Optifast in the chemist when I was in Oz. My friend was on either that or Optislim not sure but she though they tasted ok. As its VLCD I guess youd get the big losses if u follow it right. Sorry this probably isnt very useful

Thanks Wannabe10. I am reluctant to purchase any of these because of the high carb to protein ratio. I would really like the protein to be much higher. I did find one brand called ISO WHEY. A scientific doctors brand, but they only had chocolate flavour and I hate chocolate milky drinks of any kind. Crazy I know.


Lyn they do have CD in Oz and I am waiting on a reply to my email about how much it costs. Although I only need to loose about 8 kilos which is about 1.25st (think about 22ish lbs?). I think you need to have alot more weight to loose to go on it.

I last year lost some weight (the last of it, well what I thought would be the last time!) but got sick and had to go on steroids and packed about 6 kilos on in 2 weeks and have been battling the 6 plus another 2 kilos which can along for the ride.....

I've been drinking protein shakes for breakfast and lunch for a week now and eating a healthy low cal dinner, plus 2 pieces of fruit a day and 3 ltrs of water. I started this last Monday and I do feel thinner somewhat. I am going to measure in on Thursday morning so fingers crossed.

I've started optisfast and am currently on day 4! like you only have a little to loose about a stone and a half and have already lost 4lbs!
I am basically having 4 shakes a day and loads of water, will introduce the greens after 2 weeks.
