Vanilla, Strawberry, Coffee, etc...Too expensive!!!!
Really expensive. 10.8.16 you have to pay $44.00 for 12 shakes or $25.00 for six bars. Also it made me nearly pass out. Also I never saw mention of you needing a fibre suppliment which you do need.
Way to go Optislim, gouging overweight people.

Works like a dream but requires will power!
For the price (2 boxes for $65) I can get 4 boxes for $130 which last a month, when you factor in the veggies and milk, not eating out/drinking alcohol, my wallet has gained the pounds I've lost.
Personally, I find the flavours really tasty. Lets be honest, for the price, and for what they are supposed to do, they aren't going to be gourmet smoothies but they do the job. Do they fill you up, no, but if you drink the recommended water, the hunger does subside over 2 or 3 days. I just had to remind myself it was over eating that led me to this ...Read more

This is not so bad!
just started this program today I weigh 84 kilos and would like to drop to 60 kilos. The taste is not bad a bit salty to start but as you get into it its not that bad. I have tried the strawberry and banana and I like both! wouldn't mind trying the other flavours. I was recommended by a doctor to try this program. So twice a day and a bowl of vegies and a piece of salmon for lunch. Very difficult to not be able to have any other food as i'm a curry muncher but i'm going to try the saying mind over matter. its pretty filling actually and not really hungry. its hard to get two litres of water though, any suggestions? Drinking tea with no sugar would that count towards the water intake?

Constipation!
I was very excited to start my weight loss journey and purchased two boxes of optislim.
I unlike others did not mind the taste. My problem however is the fact that optislim constipates me.
I think that it is the iron content. I do suffer from constipation and I did not check the contents, had I done this I
would not have purchased optislim.
I have emailed the company suggesting that the iron be omitted or perhaps a "no added iron" could be added to their range.
Needless to say I have not received a reply to date.
I was not asking for a refund. My email was merely a suggestion.

Great product, that really does work!
I have tried many of the shakes, and this is by far, the best one, that really does work. You have to shake them up thouroughly, otherwise, it will have a slight gritty texture. The Chocolate one is my favourite. I love adding a drop of peppermint, or orange essence into it, to make them choc mint or jaffa shakes. The banana one is my second favourite. Adding a drop of choc essence, makes a nice choc banana shake too.
4 weeks on, and 8 kg down. No ill effects.

water. Day two and three were the worst hunger wise by Day 4 my stomach had shrunk I was feeling great. I'm on Day 2 of Week Two and I'm wanting to get down to 60kgs by Summer.

Back on track. Trying Strawberry this week. I love Chocolate and Banana.

he past week but yet being on these shakes have still made me loss even though I had a naughty snack everyday. I've set a goal to lose 3.2kgs befor thd end of the month to mark my 10kg weight loss. Unless I just wake up to myself and put in 100% that way it would only probably take 1 week. By the way have tried Strawberry I hated it at first it had no taste but now I don't mind it. Banana is my fav. I enjoy the choc one too. I have all my shakes with water. I still have my coffee every morning. Haven't done any exercise YET!!!! Don't stopSimilar opinion?

Ewwwwww
These shakes taste like I'd rather be fat! They are gross! Given I have only tried the chocolate but I would compare the taste to baby formula laced with dust and sand. I endeavor to give other flavours a go but chocolate is super disappointing. In order to stick to something they don't seem to realise it has to be tasty and drinkable. I swear to God they fed this to a small woodland animal and got it to throw it back up, powdered it and put it in a satchel.

Day one....watch this space!
Just finished day one...not feeling Hungary yet..added a spoon of LSA mix to shake for extra fibre. Like the idea of making it with coconut or almond milk. Going back to visit family in uk next Christmas want to go from 115 kilo to 85 kilo. Going to do first 8 weeks on 3 shakes a day then go to 2 and a meal.

It actually works!
I drink my shakes w/ unsweetened almond & coconut milk (60 - 70 calories less than light /skim milk)...absolutely delicious & guilt free. Have lost ~5kgs in 2 weeks. Curbs the hunger as well

Unbelievable
Im 5ft11 and trying to get from 95kgs to 85kgs. I have lost 2.6kgs in 3 days! And im feeling much more energized and healthy as my diet prior was not very nutritional. Just dont trust farts because it will be a shart! This stuff gives you the worse watery runs haha. But i would recommend this to anyone. I have my 3 shakes each day with 2 cups of broccoli and its working brilliantly.

So easy and really works!
So today is the end of day 2 of using the optislim platinum coffee shakes and I've already lost 1.4kg! I love my food, all the good stuff like quarter pounders, midnight kebabs, hot chips, chocolate etc and never seemed to have had that fullness when I would try to eat healthily. In all honesty the transition to the shakes has been so easy, partly because I'm fed up with my weight and eating habits but mainly because I don't have to think (and when I say think, I mean crave) what my next meal will be. I have been replacing breakfast, lunch and ...Read more
dinner with the shakes and having 2 cups of green veg for supper when I get home from work. I haven't exercised and I'm not planning to for at least 3-4weeks or until my weightloss begins to plateau. I know how to lose weight, I have tried EVERY SINGLE DIET, but the others are too fiddly and require too much organisation for my patience! This is by far the fastest and easiest.Similar opinion?

Seems ok so far?
I started this a day ago. So early days yet?
I have the chocolate flavour, and use the blender to mix them, tastes really good. I've had 4 shakes now, but strangely I'm hungrier than ever?.. I'm not a big eater, my weight gain was due to 6 mths of immobility.
Well, I try and do an update ( if I can) and let you know how it goes.
Best of luck everyone! ☺️

Best by far
Tried Optislim Platinum on my new doctor's advice. Easy to follow. I love all the flavours but coffee is my fave. I went from 88kg down to 72. Then did a silly thing and chose to try fat blaster. YUCK. Couldn't stick to it and hated the taste. Put on 4 kg as I was stressed and lost interest. Back onto Optislim Platinum tomorrow as I know it works.

So far, so good...
I've only started this 4 days ago and so far, I'm doing ok. I haven't noticed a difference yet, but it's still super early days. Chocolate flavor isn't great, but it's drinkable. Started banana today and it's quite tasty. Having 3 shakes a day in combination with non starchy vegetables/salad.

This is exactly what I needed
Optislim platnum chocolate, great texture easy to digest, after trying many others this is over all the best, I have just started this shake, after finding out my weight, I was horrified and wanted to correct it.
Platnum shakes you can still eat light salads or light portions of food depending on which meal your replacing and excercise is easy with these shakes as well is doesn't make you bloated.
Hunger pains diluted with water although I flavour my water with lemon .
To break it down .
I would recommend this to anyone .

Works really well!! Taste gets better after a day or so
I am 26. Started 78.6kg and lost 3.6kg in 6 days. 4 of those days I replaced 2 meals with the chocolate shakes and had dinner (approx 1000 cals intake), the other 2 days I ate 1600 cals. And I still lost 3.6kg!! The first few days or so the weight stayed the same and then dropped dramatically over 2 days so don't get discouraged if you think it isn't working. I had a background hunger but at a very low level and not the type that makes you want to eat everything in sight. It was a hunger that didn't particularly prompt you to eat either. Due to...Read more
these awesome results I have decided to try the shake for all 3 meals and see what happens. I can already tell my clothes are getting loose and my face feels slimmer. Initially the shake tasted revolting but I started to use a straw to reach the flavoured milk, it made a huge difference. Now I think it tastes great! I also found that mixing the milk into the product with a spoon (like you would with milo) was way more delicious than when using a shaker as the shaker produced too much froth. I did do an occasional 30 min swim during those days (1-2) but primarily no extra exercise, maybe taking the stairs a bit more. I did not feel light headed, nauseous or get the 'detox flu' like I had with other weightloss diets e.g. Lite N Easy. ALTHOUGH I have now switched over to OPTIFAST choc shake as Optislim isn't available in NZ and it is delicious!!!! (Better than Optislim I think), but much more expensive at about double the price.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

seeing results...fast!
Loving this product! I add a sachet of benefibre as well. Was hard the first three days. Important thing is I stick to the program.... no additional foods except the two cups of veg stir fried with a dash of soy. Getting all the water down is hard! Have lost 5kg this week. It works if you stick to the program as set out. Would recommend this to anyone.
