rabrijumo 140 Posted August 9, 2012 Have been on it ( no cheating ) 2 1/2 days. I don't feel hungry or tired just have a lot of gas and diarrhea. I also noticed I have to pee constantly. Now I am diabetic so I wonder what this diet is doing to my blood sugar. I noticed the bars contain high fructose corn Syrup but plenty of Protein also. I know this is a liver shrinking diet to but sheesh when I gave to do thus for two straight weeks I hope I can Handle it. PS I am doing an extra week to jump start my low carb diet to achieve my pre op wt loss requirement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fattypattynomore 9 Posted August 10, 2012 I've been off and on Optifast for 7 years. They have a specific formulas for diabetic patients, the 800 for mild diabetics nd 70 formulas is sugar free for moderate diabetics. Couple things, your body is getting proper good nutrition, doesn't matter what shake brand your body will get gassy etc while it takes on the good shake nutrition and processes the bad nutrition from before out of your body. Although its annoying, it's also a sign that your body is loving the good nutrition! As far as the brs, my dad is diabetic on optifast 800 formulas and they told him use the bars very sparingly, basically when he's out and about and he can't make a shake, use the bar. But not eating the bar often at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
