My first day of Optifast

And surprisingly it hasn't been too awful.  I am on shake #2 now and had to make myself drink it because I wasn't actually hungry which is very odd.  I only have chocolate right now, so my first one was a plain chocolate blended with ice and this one is chocolate with SF hazelnut syrup and it tastes a bit like a ferrero rocher.  I don't even have to chug it.

Why am I not feeling hungry though?

Some aren't as hungry as others. I'vre read some threads where people have a hard time getting shake #4 in.  But you really need to try for all 4 a day. If you drink enough water in between shakes, you can keep yourself feeling full.  I don't really remember a hungry stage.  And I didn't have any problems being around food either.

Also, depending on how warm you are, you may not be as hungry today with the heat.

That's  awesome.  I enjoyed  opti fast as well.   I hope you don't struggle with hunger mine didn't really hit till day 2-3.  Good Luck ☺️

I didn't mind Opti either. I also didn't feel very hungry BUT my mouth was like sandpaper no matter how much water I had. I chewed gum also. I felt GREAT though and lost weight so all went well.

Good luck

Opti has gotten easier. I don't mind the taste. I do put instant coffee in my morning one. And have tried the cacao and mint. I also put Benifiber in every shake, HOWEVER....................that's NOT helping my bathroom issue. At lunch I have spinach with pepper and onion salt and then my shake. And for dinner I have broccoli done the same way. And if I feel hungry that's been my "Q" to get my water up. However I am only getting 3 shakes in a day. I just don't know where to fit the 4th in. I never eat before bed. Good girl Melleybelly. You are going to ROCK this!!

You are lucky that you get to have vegetables on Opti!
