Participants say it’s because OPTIFAST isn’t just a diet – it’s a community that provides ongoing support during and long after weight loss.

GREAT TASTING MEAL REPLACEMENT

The well-documented weight loss success of the OPTIFAST
Program is based on the use of meal replacements during the active weight loss phase of the program. The benefits include:

High-quality, complete nutrition
Pre-portioned and calorie-controlled servings
Quick and simple preparation
Freedom from having to make food choices

Some people are skeptical about their ability to follow such a diet, but adjusting to full meal replacement typically only takes about one week. Afterward, many patients report they feel more energetic than they have for a long time.

Positive change can occur quickly. In addition to losing weight, you will improve your health, learn new, healthier eating and activity skills so that when you return to self-prepared foods, you are better equipped to manage your weight long term.
