Can I use honey on OPTIFAST diet?
Honey is pure sugar, so it sort of defeats the purpose of a low-carb liquid diet.
But ask your surgeon to be sure.

I agree with Gwen; while your surgeon/dietician has the last word, adding carbs with no nutrietion defeats the purpose of the high protein OptiFast. I did it for 2 weeks 800 calories a day. No, sometimes the drinks were not tasty.
I tried adding a bit of extra vanilla to that one, and it improved the taste with no additional carbs or protein. Or you could throw in some maple flavoring, mint flavoring -- but I wouldn't use honey, or sugar.
What about Stevia to sweeten it?
