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.
Designed for people who want to lose between 10 and 25 lbs, this program uses comprehensive education and a calorie controlled diet consisting mostly of normal foods to achieve gradual weight reduction.
Typically, this program runs for at least 18 weeks and often more. Working with a nutritionist, you will assess your current eating habits and develop a meal plan that accommodates your personal tastes and your desired weight goals. You will be fully monitored throughout your diet and will attend group or individual lifestyle education sessions.
Medications used in weight management are generally classified as either appetite suppressants or Lipase inhibitors. Other medications may be used also if they are more appropriate for your situation.
On their own, clinical studies show weight loss with medications to be very modest and weight is often regained when the medication is discontinued. For this reason, FDA approved weight loss medications should be thought of as an adjunct or assistive therapy to a more structured weight loss program using diet, activity, and behavior modification.
