Caet's Diary with Optifast

Hi guys

Well I've tried all sorts of diets and I always put the weight back on (and more). I've tried Cohen and Jenny Craig and various less formal diets.

So I decided at 87.5 kg enough was enough. I'm going to see the medics.

I went to my GP and a dietician. Between them I am going to start Reductil when the results of my blood tests come back, and the dietician has started me on Optifast.

I'd be interested if anyone else has similar experiences

Hi Caet,

I'm also on Optifast. I started on April 17th and have lost 13lbs so far. I was doing really well and went back east for my brother's wedding and to see friends and family for a week. It was very difficult to stick with during that week. I managed to stay on Optifast for breakfast and for lunch most days however, I did cheat but tried to eat mostly healthy food. I arrived back home in LA on Thursday and have had a hard time sticking to my diet. Again, I do fine for breakfast and lunch but it's 3pm -7pm that I have a most difficult time.

I would love to have an Optifast buddy on this forum, it would really help when I want to cheat and to also provide support for you. I have added some herbs and spices to the soups and that seems to help.

Take care,
Karen:waving:
 
Thanks Karen.

I've just ticking along. Lost 2.5kg the first week but I dont expect that to last. My Dr has also started me today on Reductil.

First visit to the dietician since starting.

I've lost 4kg - woohoo.

Had a problem with stomach cramps on the first day I was on the reductil but that didnt continue - although it does seem to make my stomach rumble.
