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!!

Weight Lost: 145 lbs and counting*

I started at 320 lbs and then I lost 145 lbs with OPTIFAST. The first week I lost ten pounds. And that right there was a motivator to continue on. It took me about eight months to lose the weight. I am no longer on blood pressure or cholesterol medication and I no longer have arthritis.

I have a funny story, I went to go visit my brother in San Francisco, I hadn't seen him in seven or eight months, and he walked right past me at the baggage claim. He didn't recognize me at all. I had to yell out for him and his mouth dropped open, he almost fell to the floor. He was so shocked to see me. He gave me a big hug, he was so happy. It was such a great feeling.

I get so happy when I think about my future now, a smile comes on my face because I know that now I have a future and I can be healthy and I feel like now I have so much more confidence, I can do anything. OPTIFAST is really about caring for yourself. It's about living healthy and getting your life back.

Weight loss: 141 lbs and counting

As I got into my 50’s I started having medical problems. I had always been healthy and strong and did whatever I wanted to whenever I wanted to. But, I started feeling bad and was diagnosed with high blood pressure and put on medication. My doctors encouraged me to lose weight but I loved to eat and did not go along with this foolishness. As a result, my health continued to deteriorate.

I was sent to Atlanta Health Institute in Atlanta, Georgia where I started on the OPTIFAST Program. The first week on the program, I lost 31 pounds. The second week I was taken off my blood pressure medication and the third week I was off my diabetes medication. Five months later I had lost over 100 pounds and had gone off all 12 medications I was taking daily.

I am now in my ninth month on the OPTIFAST Program and have lost 141 pounds. My liver and blood levels are now within normal ranges. As of now, it seems I will not need a liver transplant.

I hope and pray that anyone who suffers the problems that I have had will realize that there is hope for them if they will make an effort to contact OPTIFAST and start on the program.
