No answers
Russell T.asked
just started optislim platinum is it ok to have green veg twice a day instead of once
1 answer
yes - have non-starchy veg as much as you like. It will make you feel fuller, help you stick to the diet & is good habit-forming for when you transition off the shakes back to a normal diet
Tanesha W.asked
What are the best veggies to eat while using the shakes?
1 answer
Tom R.
The veges listed in the booklet provided in box are what you should aim to eat on the program and best for you. Incorporate them into stirfrys or look up different vegetable recipes to keep them interesting.
Tanesha W.asked
Can you use the shakes with water instead of milk!??
2 answers
Hi Tanesha.
Yes you can. They are much nicer with milk of course. I use unsweetened almond milk which has less calories than skim milk and much creamier and nicer. Good luck with your journey. I have now nearly reached my goal and so it definately works.
Awesome thank you.

Can you mix 100ml water plus 100ml full cream milk instead of 200ml skim milk with optislim platinum?
3 answers
Pretty sure you can but if you don't like Skim milk, and I don't, have you tried unsweetened almond milk instead? Less calories than skim milk and creamy like full cream milk. Delicious!
can't see why not If im running low on milk I use water and milk as well
I lost 8kg in 8 weeks. At 73 years young I think thats pretty good going. I enjoy all flavours but you can always add some dutch cinnamon and tumeric to a coffee one if you like those types of flavours just to give you a change. Because I am only 150cm (4ft 11in) short I have taken it upon myself to only have 2 shakes a day and just a small portion nibbles of vegetables at night or perhaps 1 egg as scrambled with skim milk. I do buy the Platinum range in order to get the more rapid loss. Miss my cooking, miss the flavours and textures of foods but on the plus side I feel so much better for loosing it. By the way if you want a dessert treat try the muffins with a custard made with skim milk sweetened with stevia. Rather a nice little change for a sweet treat.
Sandyasked
Are there optislim platinum soups available or do you use the optislim non platinum soups?
1 answer
To the best of my knowledge there are no platinum soups, just the normal optislim ones. I personally detest all the soups and bars that are available but some say they like them, so personal taste I suppose.
Good luck on your weightloss journey!

What is the difference between Optislim and Optislim platinum?
3 answers
I think one you can have with water and the other one milk really not sure maybe the price
The Optislim platinum rapid formula has glucomannan which makes you feel fuller, green coffee extract that helps burn fat faster and ginseng which is supposed to give you higher energy. The platinum range is also meant to be mixed with low fat milk of less than 1%. When mixed in an electric blender it gives a true thick milkshake consistency. My favourites in the range are strawberry and vanilla. They are not as grainy or as sweet as the regular Optislim. I think the extra cost of the platinum range is well worth it for the taste alone, let alone the added benefits. They certainly make me feel much fuller and therefore less inclined to want to snack on something else. Hope that helps.
Optislim now has another product in their range - Optislim Platinum Plus. This is the answer I received from their Customer Service about the differences between the Platinum Rapid & Platinum Plus.
Both ranges are VLCD (Very Low-Calorie Diet) you can replace up to 3 meals a day as they are designed as a total meal replacement. We introduced a new range as we saw an increasing need for a gluten-free option as well as the increasing interest in pre and probiotics for gut health.
The main differences are listed below.
Optislim Platinum Rapid
- Mixed with skim milk to complete shake
- Glucomannan (helps you feel fuller)
- Ginseng (may increase energy)
- Green Coffee Extract (traditionally used to burn more fat)
Optislim Platinum Plus (NEW!)
- Mixed with water
- Gluten Free
- Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT’S): boosts fat burning
- Includes pre & probiotics
- Good source of dietary fibre
- DHA: Supports Brain Development and Protects Neurological Function
- Natural colours and flavours
We also are aware of varying taste preferences from person to person and expanded our range to cater to more tastebuds.
I hope this helps a little...

Anna Veeasked
Hi, I’m only wanting to lose 7 or so kg and got the platinum vcld shakes and bars. So looking at 2x meal replacements and eating a meal for dinner so to lose the kgs over 4-6 weeks.. I don’t understand what constitutes a dinner option as per their website that will aid the program - I realize carb free and they suggest 2 cups veggies but as the food - do I just go for carb free dinner? Ie home cooked chicken soup with the meat and some non starchy veg? Is that good? No clue! I can replace all 3 meals and just stick wth 2 cups veg a day but with only 7 kg to lose maybe more steady loss rather rapid and feeling hungry for a month and hating life by not eating food for a month is better? If anyone has any suggestions thanks :)

Hi Anna, I have done optifast but thought I would try this one for a change this time. With the dinner try and eat Green veges, I do a stir fry of spinach, kale, broccoli, cauliflower, mushroom, zucchini with some garlic and tamari (Low salt Soy Sauce) and I usually have a small pce of fish or chicken. I lost 13 kgs in about 8 weeks.
Aw thank you for reply and during day do you Have 2 shakes (or bars) or three? So the dinner I’m guessing is replacing the third shake (or bar)?
I’m giving this another go. I find the bars and shakes are so sweet for me so it’s been challenging :)
Hi Anna, Good question as I am in the same position as you are. What I wanted to know is do you use one sachet of powder to replace one meal or two sachets? I think I stuffed up my first day :D
