The shaker leaks all the time I’m going to have to throw it away. Can’t find my receipt for chemist warehouse so can’t return it. Have to buy a better quality shaker. Show details

Great kick start, works well – Having lost 50kg on my own but I stalled and ended up putting 15kg back on. I found I couldn't shift the weight again despite my best efforts. Week 1 I've lost 2.5kg. Taste was a bit funny at first but not unpleasant. I find adding a tsp of coffee to the coffee flavor helped. Also I've been making them into a frappe with 200ml water and a… Read more

tray of ice cubes which is really yummy, especially with the chocolate!

I've had a couple of cheat days where I only replaced one meal rather than two but have found I just can't eat as much as I was a couple of weeks ago.

Overall very convenient, not too bad on taste and seems to be working.

I wouldn't use this (or any meal replacement) long term but I think it's good to kick start weight loss. I plan to use for a month then slowly go back to healthy portion controlled eating. Convenient, easy and it works Not ideal long term, taste took a little getting used to but not bad

Works if you use it right – Lost 3kg first week, then about 6 weeks to lose another 3. Now I seem to have stopped losing. I used 2 meal replacements, 2 recommended snacks and regular evening meal (not neccesarily a healthy one) I was not obese, I lost the weight I wanted (77 down to 71kg) I haven't slimmed my tummy as I would like but that I am sure is down to lack of… Read more ·  1

excercise. Some shakes taste better than others, I started with a multi pack so I could sample a few. I have to say the bars are my favourite. Its like having a chocolate bar every day and still losing weight. And so easy to use when away from home. This works for me because I was never good at portion control or counting calories. It is expensive, but because it is so regimented I never once was tempted in the supermarket or at the garage to waste $2 on a bar of chocolate, so it evens out. Anyone who reviewed this and isn't losing weight, I would say is cheating. Read the book, you cant just replace two meals and still eat all the junk in between! I have started cheating after 6 weeks and I have stopped losing weight, but I am maintaining at least. Those of you who are urinating more, this is why you are told to drink 2 litres of water, to help wash the crap out of your body as it breaks down the fat you are trying to get rid of (read the book) And the person who says the formulae doesnt make you lose weight just because it has vitamins, thats right, what it does do is give you a balanced meal replacement, stops you feeling hungry, and if you use it right you lose weight without depriving your body of nutrients. I put my husband on this and he lost about 2 belt holes in a month, and I know he cheats a little bit, but he had more to lose, I think this may work better on people with a higher starting weight. Super easy Cost, and not all taste good.

Good – Works well, heaps of energy with it, drink 2 litres water a day especially if urinating a lot as you need to replace the lost fluid,and this helps any associated headaches you may experience. Eat some bran or prunes for roughage in the diet, it won't happen overnight, but it will happen. When the goal weight is reached, use opti slim as a… Read more

maintenence regime. Works well if you don't cheat!!! Quick to prepare,using very cold water, I sometimes add a raw egg and whizz it very creamy with a bamix wand. Gives you heaps of energy when on it The taste is a bit too soy, and you definitely need a whizzer wand to mix it well. Have not found a really tasty one yet. A bit pricey.

Good – So far Im enjoying it and don't feel hungry. My fiance was struggling a bit with hunger the first week however this week he seems ok with it. We will both keep on track with it and hopefully enjoy watch the kgs fly off in time for our wedding. My fiance and I are both on it and I lost 2.3kg and he lost 2.5kg in 1st week. I never lose that much… Read more

weight in a week, so I was stoked! The 2nd week I lost only 0.4kg and he 0.5kg even though we both ate less than the previous week and I even drank less. However 2.7kg in 2 weeks is still a good effort. Kinda looking forward to next weigh in to see what avails. The vanilla shake mixes well and tastes quite alright. The chocolate doesn't mix as well as the vanilla and tastes rather ordinary.
