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
The typical OPTIFAST patient loses 52 pounds in 22 weeks. Five-year follow-up studies show that over 50% of people who complete the OPTIFAST Program keep enough weight off to improve their health long term. What’s the secret? 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. The OPTIFAST Program has worked with the top experts in the obesity field since 1974 and regularly shares the latest developments and research with all our clinics.
The OPTIFAST program goes way beyond the typical diet. To help ensure your long-term success, OPTIFAST clinics provide personal support and lifestyle education throughout the program. Some of the features include:
* One-on-one counseling sessions with a physician, registered dietitian, or lifestyle counselor.
*Small group discussions led by a health care professional.
*Peer support from current and past OPTIFAST participants.
* Educational materials created especially for OPTIFAST patients.
*Customized activity plans appropriate to your fitness level and schedule.

Like many people, I have spent most of my life battling to control my weight....and failing most profoundly. In December of 2008, I hit the proverbial wall....enough was enough! I was sick of not being able to be as active as I wanted, not being able to do the things I wanted (or WEAR the things I wanted!!), sick and tired of being sick and tired....I needed to make BIG changes.
Surgical intervention may be all the rage right now, but it was just not something I wanted to do. It seemed illogical to me to alter my stomach when my weight problem was rooted firmly between my ears. What I did need was help. I needed a plan, I needed guidance, I needed support. That's why I decided to participate in Gene Trek Weight Management Program. I was familiar with the OPTIFAST program, and I knew that it COULD work, but whether it WOULD work depended upon two critical things: did I want it badly enough to make the commitment, and would these people be able to help me to follow through with it? For me,the answer to both has been a resounding YES! I've lost over 90 lbs so far, and am within striking distance of my ultimate goal. I feel better than I have in years, and have more energy than family members and coworkers who are at least a decade younger than I.
Trust me, there is no "magic pill" that is going to melt the weight off of your body. It takes commitment, hard work and, frankly, guts (ironic that it takes guts to lose your gut, but quite true!). The only person that can do it is YOU, and these are the people that can help you! If you are ready to make the commitment, give them a call!!
