OptiFast - Please share your story, cause I am nervous!

Hi Gina,

YES, you are right I am worth it. I can't wait for this to become a distant memory. This forum is so great you guys have helped so much get through what i thought would be a scary first 2 days.

Thanks so much!

All the things they all said... also...blended with coffee it is like a latte from Starbucks. Blend in ice...Frap! It is magic.

That was a grat idea and I say that as I sit here drinking my yummy mocha fap!

Now to figure out how to take the blender and Ice EVERYEHERE with me.

Thanks again.

Shelly

Funny you say that, because I was the exact same way.

It honestly went by so fast! First 3 days are the worst, the rest is tolerable...with a little mood swings :)

Well day 2 was not too bad but that was thanks you all this great advise.

Yeah, the mood swings are "AWESOME" lol

I bought a bottle of SF Torani syrup in red raspberry flavour. I mixed it into the vanilla opti and thought it made it taste like viva puff cookies lol. I was fine with drinking the chocolate plain over lots of ice and extra water (I think I added an extra 200-300ml per shake). Looking back I wish I had my ninja blender then so I could have blended the ice for a frosty drink :)

Hi there,

What is SF Torani syrup and where can I find it...that sounds lovely... blueberry frap!

I do find the shake thick with just 300ml per and have thought of adding more water. I gotta say thanks to the ladies for sugesting the belended...i has been lovely today.

Thanks again for the advise.

SF Torani syrup is like the syrup you can add to coffee at Starbucks. There is a place online -- ECS coffee that ships in Canada :) I watch for it to go on sale and stock up because I use it a lot!! There are some retail stores that sell it, but I don't know specifically in Toronto.

If you Google, say, "low carb grocery GTA", you'll get a list of "low carb/no carb" grocery outlets around the area.
May I recommend you sample - either now or down the road - a DaVinci ~ Sugar-free Syrup? They have 40 flavours of "No cal/No carb" syrup at various stores around town...(Lol...I confess I left my favourite store recently with a bottle of English Toffee flavour under each arm!)

From my favourite store's site:
