What is Optifast
Optifast is an 18-week program- 12 weeks follow meal replacement and then slowly taper off to healthy meal choices.
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
The meal replacement drinks and bars are recommended by physicians for patients weighing more than 50 pounds over their ideal weight or with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or more. Optifast is recommended to help obese individuals prepare for gastric bypass surgery as well. All participants have full access to professionals like doctors, dietitians and counselors.
The Optifast program follows strict guidelines to ensure the health and safety of patients with three key areas of concentration - medical, behavior and nutrition. Patients have an initial medical exam to make sure they meet the program criteria.
Progress is monitored during weekly one-on-one and group counseling, to help encourage healthy lifestyle changes
The typical Optifast patient loses 52 pounds in 22 weeks. For many dieters, weight loss is only temporary.
