Optislim Meal Replacement Shakes

Meal replacements shakes usually taste like liquid cardboard. They are almost dusty in nature and seem to have a very seldom have a flavor that is worth drinking again.

Fortunately, Optislim claims to not only have several delicious flavors of meal replacement shakes, but additionally claims that these shakes will help you shed the pounds you’ve been holding onto for far too long.

The Optislim VLCD Program

Optislim has created a 3 step program that works to remove unwanted fat while leaving your muscle mass intact. This VLCD (Very Low Calorie Diet) program can be used with any of the meal replacement products.

During this review we will be focusing mainly on the meal replacement shakes that promise 25 essential daily vitamins and nutrients to keep your body working properly while allowing you to lose the weight you have been struggling with for years.

The 3 Step program starts with a 3 product a day replacement (substituting a shake, bar or soup for all three meals), followed by two a day and then one. The last two phases should be done in conjunction with light exercise to maximize results.

VLCD allows the body to take in just slightly less calories than it uses each day so that it will have to use the body’s stored reserves to produce the additional energy needed to carry you throughout the day.

The Optislim shakes come in three flavors: chocolate, espresso and vanilla . These meal replacements don’t come with fiber included so you will have to purchase additional fiber supplements from Optislim. Smooth move on their part.

Side-Effects and Other Drawbacks

Unfortunately for Optislim we have found more negative than positive things to say about the product and company. Not only is Optislim only available online, it can only be shipped to Australia and the UK, putting it out of the reach of a large population of consumers.

Furthermore, even though you may be able to lose weight, the rate at which you lose it is unhealthy and may produce adverse results. You should always check with your physician before starting a weight loss program such as this.

Even though there are no side-effects to speak of, you should be conscious of any additional medications you are taking and realize that a reduced dosage may be required as you lose weight or negative side-effects may occur from the misuse of the additional medications. Talk to your doctor for more information.

Dig it or Ditch it?

Yes, you can lose weight while on the Optislim VLCD meal replacement plan, however, the weight lost could easily return once you have completed the program and since there is no ingredient list included, we are unsure if you are actually getting the necessary vitamins and minerals you need to sustain a healthy body.
