ABOUT OUR PROGRAM

The OPTIFAST Program is a patient-centric, medically supervised weight management program that closely monitors and assesses progress towards better health and emotional well-being. The program, which usually lasts 26 weeks, utilizes a full meal replacement plan that transitions to self-prepared ‘everyday’ meals, in conjunction with comprehensive patient education and support.

How the OPTIFAST Program Succeeds

• Meal replacement diet

• Narrowing your food choices helps you work towards weight loss and management by controlling the amount and types of food you eat.

• Medical supervision

• Utilizes the expertise of physicians to help you lose weight safely.

• Lifestyle education to help you achieve and sustain better health through nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle changes.

• Counseling

• Individual and group counseling by experts who understand your challenges.

• Ongoing personalized support included both during and after weight loss to help you achieve and maintain success.

The OPTIFAST Program succeeds because it treats the whole you – not just your weight. With OPTIFAST, you’ll be closely monitored and given the support, counseling, lifestyle education, and meal replacements to help you enjoy long-term weight loss and significantly reduce weight-related health risks.

More than 80 peer-reviewed studies and a clinical database of over 80,000 patients illustrate the efficacy of the OPTIFAST Program. 1 to 2 years after completing the program: 2 to 40% of patients maintained more than half their weight loss – 78% of men and 60% of women maintained medically significant weight loss. Additionally, five years after completing the program, approximately 50% of patients maintained medically significant weight loss.
