Starting Optifast!

Ok, starting Opti on Friday yahoo! Question for you all, can you put Torini sugar free flavour syrups in it. I know you can flavour it with extracts but was wondering about the sugar free Torini syrups.

I have been told yes but as a wise woman told me.... they sometimes make you even more hungry. Try it and see how you do with it. I did not try it. I am sure someone with wider knowledge will pop in.

Another option that another wise woman told me and I did do was cooking flavors, vanilla, caramel, mint that you pick up from the food store. Mint was hard to find at this time of year though. Also, instant decaf coffee grinds to give it a bit of a Tim Horton's French Vanilla taste.

It gets easier as you go with Opti. I did have a three day period of time of hangry and food mourning. LOL It will pass and get easier. Hang in there and it is worth it!

Also Congratulations!

Oops you did mention the extracts! I should read better. As my daughter says..."Derp."

Lol, thank you so much ?

Ask your center if they're OK with sugar free syrups; some are fine with it. If they allow you sugar free water flavor enhancers they are likely OK with the syrups but better safe than sorry.

I tried flavoring my Opti and liked them best plain. I hated Opti day 1 but day 2 was better and by Day 3 I liked it. By the end of 3 weeks I loved it, lol. Maybe I'm just weird, but I look back on Opti with fondness.

Good luck! I'm so excited for you!

Thank you

Congratulations Suzy!!! Start of Opti means surgery is so close. Yahoo for You!!! I'm still so happy for you. It seems like just the other day you were waiting for a date. Look at you now!!!

I don't know about syrups... I only flavoured with brewed coffee (mostly decaf, some regular). I prefer tart/bitter to sweet tastes, so the coffee really helped bring down the sweetness of the Opti for me.

I was hangry the first two days, but then it was smooth sailing. Good luck!

Thank you so much?
