Optifast Trial Run...
I have a bladder problem called Interstitial Cystitis and it can be triggered by aspartame so my clinic is having me try the optifast for a day to see if the aspartame in it will bother me...
I've read on the board people use 500ml of water, ice etc. But im reading the pack and its saying 300ml of water to mix it with.. Should I be making 300ml and the some ice to mske it like a shake? or 500ml and ice?
Lol sorry for the crazy questions! Thanks!

I wanted to keep it fun and did ****asionally) about 150ml water and then 7 or 8 crushed ice cubes. Mixed in the magic bullet and it turned it into ice cream :)
add a bit of flavour with crystal light and it was great... I kinda miss it actually
Normally I used 300ml water. (Cold)
good luck

As long as you can get the shake in I don't think it matter how much (or little) water you use. I used 500 ml because I didn't trike it thick and I found that was the perfect consistency.
