hi all i started my optifast diet last week and i can tell you the first 2-3 days were the worst, i suffered from server headaches and being a diabetic my BGL's were all over the place. i found that with the vanilla shakes i added a banana, or frozen berries (1/2 cup) and that made them better. i also used my food processor and sliced all my salad ingredients in one bowl, like tomatoes, lettuce, capsicum, celery, grated carrots, cabbage. it's like a fine coldslaw with added ingredients. it makes a lovely full salad and 1 cup does go a long way to filling you up. hope this helps someone. oh by the way i have to be on this optifast for 3 months as i have to loose 20 kg's before i have surgery!. all the best:redface:
