I hope it gets bettee

Keep on going, you're almost there.

I was able to snack on celery and cucumber if I got really hungry - but maybe HRRH has changed their handouts? Two years ago, they allowed that while on Opti.

The important thing is for your body to get "shocked" into getting used to deprivation - you've been over-feeding it for so long, it has to learn to just exist on enough to not starve.

It's a whole mind-set thing. How do skinny wirey people do it? Well, many of them just eat enough to survive. And they still enjoy their food. Many are naturally gifted with different constitutions than us. But that's another conversation.

So part of your OptiFast weeks is getting accustomed to the change.

 

Best of luck!

I am the 16th and my friend is the 18th I really hope I am gone home by then...good luck!

I am on the 20th but in Hamilton 

keep up the good work with opti.  It's not the best but its worth it.  I'm with you about cooking for the family so not fun.
