Optislim VLCD Soups ... don't waste your money
This product is inedible. It does not mix like the directions say. Instead the consistency of spew. Unfortunately I bought 3 boxes, the company is refunding me for only one box. So I am out of pocket about $37. They do not offer a satisfaction guarantee. Luckily not too many stores carry the product. Chemist Warehouse only in Australia. Beware it looks like the OPTIFAST product but is not. I have never had any problems with Optifast.

Watery sugar !
Tastes very sugary and the vanilla one tastes like coconut to me ! I wont buy again... ever ! Also, having only have 1 mg of fibre per serve is nowhere good enough.

Good taste but not sure if I can have with hot water ?
Chocolate and coffee taste good and fill me up but not sure if I can have with hot water. I have not lost any weight but that could be any reason.

Not too bad!!
The taste of this product is better than others I've tried. The texture of it is better than most products too it is easy to mix up in a shaker cup and doesn't have a bad after taste.

Great product
Easy to use with great results over a 3 week period. Weight loss was dramatic and managed to keep it off with maintaining diet.The flavours are no that bad considering the replica protein mixes.

The program does work
Ive been on Optislim for almost a week and I have lost some noticeable weight. The shakes dont taste the best but they are tolerable. Personally, chocolate is the best flavour. I do have the expresso for my morning shake to replace my morning iced coffee.
Ive had no headaches or dizziness however I am tired and sore from exercising and have such a low calorie intake. Like someone has noted, these are not maccas thickshakes, so taste may be absent, but the goal is to lose weight and the shakes definitely work.
I have a morning and lunchtime shake then chicken and veg for dinner. If I find I'm getting a bit hungry, I'll have a small handful of cashews.
Yeah its hard, but worth the effort.

Hair
I use to love optislim products.
Until i found a hair not once but twice.
In a optislim meal.
I contacted optislim also emailed a photo no response from them.
It has turned me off there products now and i am switching to another brand.
Meal was the spinach ricotta tortellini healthy options meal.

Doesn't work!
This is a waste of money. I wouldn't recommend. It taste like chemicals and it doesn't even help you lose weight. Personally I think it is more like a scam to me. Just drink water guys.

Great product
I am 122 kg and need to reduce to my ideal weight being 75 kg, large Aussie male, I told my doctor that's he is dreaming. I am committed to the diet, I hate being fat and all the insults that come with the weight. Yes I did it to myself by putting the food into my own mouth. 3 shacks a day and celery sticks into between. Lemon in my water to help with the taste. It is hard to walk by the fridge and not open that door and have a look inside on my way to the sink to collect water. I should hang a large picture of my on the fridge and cupboard as ...Read more
a turn real off. The only shack I can tolerate is chocolate. For the people who are complaining about how sweet they are, just add a little more water, it lessens the sweetness. I am a type 2 diabetic and sugar is evil to me. My shaker holds up to 500 ml Optislim states add 300 ml of water, hot or cold. Today for breakfast because its cold, I decided to try my choc shake with hot water in my trust coffee mug, tasted great just like a hot chocolate. You have to think about this, Optislim needs to add sugar to help kill the taste of all the minerals and vitamins. If they didn't the taste would be so bitter no one would be able to use the products. Sugar is our not our friend, the body turns sugars into fat and stored for later use, that is what is killing us diabetics. The headaches are not from the shakes, it's from the sugar, that the body crying out for a sugar fix, like someone else who had posted on this site states they returned to eating sugar and their headache stopped. If I eat to much sugar, say a slice and a coffee that all it takes for me the lose my eye sight for 2 days. No joke, I was out at Christmas shopping and decided to have my Christmas treat, a large vanilla slice and large mug of coffee, I kept shopping and by the time I finished and made my way to the car I had a problem, my sugars had sky rocketed and my eyesight was failing, I sat in my car and had to phone my son to come an collect me because I was blind couldn't see where to put the key into the ignition. That shocked my son. That trip cost me 4 days without eyesight until that body rid me of the excess sugar. Remember this is a diet shake not mcdonalds or kfc. Its not an easy and lazy meal option. You cant go out to an all you can eat buffet and eat like pig and wake up in the morning and have a shack and expect it to work a miracle, this product is a diet management programme not a cup-a-soup from the supermarket. At first its hard, really hard because your body is crying like a baby that needs to be feed, feed me, feed me. By your second child you have learnt to ignore the crying because by this time you have worked out what cry is real and what's not. Your brain is the same. The only bad side effect that I have found is that he have turned into a male dog, with all the water I am drinking I tend to spread my leg every time I see a tree. All we have to do re-train our brain not to ask for food all the time. Just pretend that you brain is your child or grandchild and say no. The key to the shake is adjust it to your taste and you both will end up friends and look great for it. CheersSimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Great results
I have been on Optislim for 10weeks now and I have lost 10.3kg.
I will admit I didn't stick to it perfectly initially having 2 shakes a day and a healthy chicken and salad lunch.
I recommend a fibre supplement.
I was walking between 3-6 Kms a day mid pace.
First 5 weeks I lost 7kg and slowed down but still working.
Shakes are a bit ordinary when using a shaker however if you use in a nutri ninja or similar it changes the take completely and it really is like a milkshake (water only) i also like it with a little ice. Overall I am extremely happy with the results. My BMI has gone from 33 obese to 29 overweight and I'm well on track to reach my healthy weight goal.

Tips for better taste & fullness
I have been reading reviews for OptiSlim and one of the comments that is constant is taste. I have just started on VLCD strawberry & chocolate, I have been replacing the skim milk with water,4 strawberries & a scoop of no fat yoghurt in the strawberry, and water,small banana & a scoop of yoghurt in the chocolate mixing in a Bullet Mixer. This improves the flavour & texture of the shake. I stick to green vegetables & small amount of protein in the evenings. I have 10kg to loose and have high hopes for this product. I like the fact that this plan is simple and you do not have to be thinking of what you are going to eat on a daily basis. I will keep you posted as to my progress.

Gross
So I got the platinum chocolate flavour maybe that was my mistake but these are disgusting! I've tired a lot of diet shakes and never have I been so grossed out than I have been with these. Not only do they taste awful but they froth up so much if you use a shaker or blender and is lumpy if you stir it. The froth is even more disgusting then the drink. I've had with water and milk, no change in taste. I don't know if they work at all but after 2 days from switching to these I have been dizzy and lightheaded. I spent $65 on two boxes so I'm going to continue but OMG what a disappointment after reading so many good reviews on taste!

Gets you the results you want .
This product is a great weight loss shake, yes it's hard at first but once you get used to it, it becomes easier.
So if you are after quick weight loss this is the product to go for . My favourite is the Strawberry and Banana ones .
You can do intensive or just a replacement meal either way you will lose weight as long as you follow the program.

It works!
Ive found it hard to lose weight in the past due to combo of loving food haha and having to take hormones each day for a medical condition. If you stick to optislim (even with minor slips ups because hey, we are all human), it really does work. The shakes taste a little too sweet but you get used to it so just push through! The challenge is when you get to your goal weight and then have to start eating real food again!

Way too sweet
I really like using shakes but I found this way too sweet, the sweetness made me an it sick . I bought the vanilla and I couldn't taste the vanilla only what must be the artificial sweeteners. Maybe try another brand

great for shifting those last stubborn kilos
I've been trying to shift 4 -5 kilos for the last year but given I'm not overwieght (started at 60.5 kilos, & I'm 5ft 2) ive been unsuccessful. Since being on the shakes for 3 weeks, I've lost 2.8 kilos!
I mix chocolate with frozen berries (tastes like blackforrest cake) coffee with fozen banana (tatstes like banoffee pie) and vanilla with a tblsp of organic peanut butter + ice (tastes like salted caramel icecream) i whizz it up in a magic bullet. Ive not felt hungry at all and my snacks consist of celery, shaved turkey or cucumber with huommus) . Dinner has been miso soup with poached chicken & tofu or chicken salad with apple cider vinegar and a sml amount of macadamia oli or tum yum soup with poached salmon.

Realistic way to shift weight
If you are looking to lose weight, the Optislim range of shakes works. So far I've dropped 10kg in 2 months from spending 2 and a half weeks drinking the shakes (chocolate and strawberry) and eating some zucchini or asparagus for the evening veggies, during which time I lost around 5kg. I then stopped the shakes and continued to eat a very low carb diet which has dropped me another 5kg at a slower but steady pace. Started again yesterday with the shake part as I have plenty left over and want to kick it up again. I haven't had any hunger pains ...Read more
and certainly no headaches or reported flu symptoms. Drink plenty of water (I upped the water in my shakes to about 400ml to help since I am not a huge water drinker) and don't cheat, it takes a relatively short time to lose weight and you're only setting yourself back! For reference/comparison I am now at 73.5kg, started at 84kg, I'm sure heavier people will see even more awesome results!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
