Optifast subsititutions?
Hello, I am on day 9 of optifast and cant take some of the sweet ones anymore. I substituted one of the shakes for an unjury chicken soup. I checked the calories and such and it seems like it should be okay. thoughts?

I think Unjury is actually a better choice than optifast - higher in protein, lower in carbs and sugar.

I thought so too and I have the chicken and the cheese flavor..just to get me through the next few days when the chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla are just TOOO MUCH!

Hmmmm....I've read other posts of some people cutting the sweetness with cocoa or decaf instant coffee. Take a peek at some of the Opti recipes and see what you think.
Good Luck!
