Do you want a cookie and other stupid questions...
Mar 04, 2013
Day 6 and I am going strong on the mostly liquid Optifast diet. Yesterday I had a stalk of celery with my tomato soup (totally within guidelines of the diet.) I have to tell you, I don’t think celery has ever tasted so good to me. Just to have something that crunched when I bit into it was a treat. So far I have been doing 3-4 shakes, 1-2 soups, and 2 bars a day. So the only actual solids I am ingesting are the protein bars. While they taste pretty good, the volume just doesn’t make up for it. I really try to regulate those to being used as snacks or when my food cravings are the lowest.
When someone hears that I am on a “liquid” diet they all ask if I am starving all the time. One of the things that I have noticed during all of this is that I never have really felt that I am starved, but then again I never feel like I am full or that my appetite is completely sated. It is hard to explain, it isn’t horrible, but it also isn’t the bees knees.
