Optifast VLCD - Chocolate

I have used the OPTIFAST shakes regularly and just recently have found it does not mix the same it’s now lumpy and I am disappointed and don’t think it’s value for money any more as it’s not the cheapest product out there

Way too much sugar and sugar substitutes that cause poor gut health and other probkems. Poor ingredients . Basically a hydralyte, vitamin tablet with protein powder added. Calories are NOT the way to go. Count carbs for real weight loss.

I am trying optifast VLCD to make sure Im getting enough protein and nutrients while losing weight. Tried a few flavours but Choclate, Mocha and Chai are the best. Best way to drink it is with crushed ice in a blender. I cant say how many kg its helped me lose as I have also been taking duromine but it keeps me full and an easy meal swop for 1 or 2 meals a day.

I've been eating these for over 4 years and thoroughly enjoyed them, but the new recipe is just not nice. Please change it back. I used to recommend these to friends but not anymore.

I have tried other flavors, soups as ne desserts but I keep coming back to chocolate. I buy it in the 18 sachet box. I find that if I put my water in the freezer 20 minutes before I use it, then it seems to make the shake fluffier and more filling. This has worked wonders with my weight. I have lost 40kgs so far and looking forward to less of me. Thank you Optifast.

I've been using Optifast bars since March 2022 (six months), as part of a medically supervised VLCD with great results (25kg lost). I am disappointed in the recent change in recipe by Optifast to their Chocolate bars. The texture is slightly firmer than the lovely fudge-like bar it used to be and it doesn't taste as sweet as it used to, but more importantly, the carbohydrates have increased from 17.8g to 23.4g per 70g bar. That's 31% more carbs than they used to have. I'm hoping this doesn't effect the results I've been getting, but I will have to monitor the effect closely and look for an alternative - 5.6g is a lot when you are on a strict low-carb intake.

I have been using the products for 5 days, I'm a busy mum also working but have not experienced the fatigue or hunger I was dreading. I alternate coffee and chocolate shakes, add lots of ice and blend with instant coffee.I have actually been eating more veggies on this program than I normally would. Also feel the weight falling off. I know this is sustainable for me. Check out the opticook website for recipe ideas - there is a lot you can have with the allowed veggies.

Only thing is its expensive.
Best flavors chocolate and banana. Worst Coffee.
Very filling and tastes good.
Mixes well. Doesn't need milk which is convenient.
Has low sugar compared to other brands which is a plus for weigh loss.

I bought a box of chocolate shakes yesterday and had my first sachet today, it tasted absolutely horrible. It burnt my throat and tasted like chemicals. Don’t waste your money!
