One thing to say
Sorry to say.... but I am not minding it at all. I use extracts, a bit of cocoa, decaf coffee and a few syrups to change it up and always use ice. Plus one cup of broth a day as a treat and I'm good.

I think the syrups will save me. I hate coffee, so that won't help me.

The syrups are great. A friend of mine went on the weight loss cruise and grabbed a ton of Davinci samples for me. Lol I did buy a bottle of the chocolate syrup. I found that I did not like crystal light with it though. Would love to hear what combos you use.

I'm on day 8 of 21....first day I hated opti but you really just have to play around with the flavors and syrups which you seem to be on track with (syrups coming soon). Day 1 and 4 were the hardest. Day 1 because of the real hunger pangs and hyper sensitivity to smells; and day 4 was mentally, I felt anxious, deprived, and full of nervous energy,...like coming off of some drug addiction (not that I have one) but can certainly imagine some what how difficult that must be for those who do. After day 4 however its been a breeze. You will do just fine:-)
My question is this tho....why do some centres make you do 2 weeks and others 3???
