From the bulk zone you can also buy root beer exact, I liked the orange and mint best as well as vanilla but I did not like the chemical taste of the other additives which I had bought lots of. I used a ton of ice cold water and a cup with a straw to block the smell. The broth was a nice treat in my second week I ate it only with a spoon like soup. The jello is not very good or at least I did not like it. And I was also allowed sugar free freezies but did not like them either, yikes Come to think of it I still have them...... It gets easy stay busy, start nesting it helped me a lot. And drink more water than you think you possible can best wishes are being sent your way
My go tos were coconut and peppermint extracts, and cherry failover mio/ ads anti dopes. The cherry and coconut went well with either chocolate or vanilla and the peppermint chocolate was great for making Opti pudding - just use less water than for a shake. I had Opti pudding almost every night for dessert.
It is very difficult. I believe another poster mentioned that it is one of the things they don't talk too much about. You will get through it and it is worth it. Do get yourself a cup with a lid and straw so you don't have to smell it, it really does help. Also, use lots of ice and get a good shaker (the one with a ball in it) and shake the heck out of it. I found drinking it quickly and not thinking too much about it helpful. I had good days and bad days, but all in all 3 weeks went by fairly quickly. Keep yourself busy so you don't have too much time to "over think". Most of all good luck and keep your eye on the prize!!!
