Optifast question
I have a question..... I read about a lot of people who have issues with the first few days of Optifast. I work in a large office that doesn't lend itself well to privacy. Should I take the first day or two off when I start OPTI?

It's a good question! If you can... why not. I had a few "problems". I was hangry. Like, not nice to be around, and I think I'm super nice. Haha. But my body needed two days to adjust. After that, smooth sailing.
Also, I had bowel issues. I highly recommend taking a tsp of Benefibre in each Opti right from the get go. I have some if you want... will I see you before you start Opti?

Thanks. Good advice. I'm not sure. I'm leaving Friday for vacation. Maybe the next weekend if I have my act together when I get home. I have a ton of summer clothes. I'll talk to you when I get home.

I didn't have any issues but I did take a few days off because it was the week of Boxing Day in 2016 and I had a bit of time left to use.
If you have the time, take it :)
