Is your weight affecting your life?
The OPTIFAST Program provides a serious solution for weight loss. It combines comprehensive lifestyle education and medical monitoring with a high-quality meal replacement diet.
Excess weight can increase your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure. OPTIFAST participants have experienced significant improvements in blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol.
Clinically Proven results include:
- 52 lb (21%) average weight loss
- 15% average decrease in cholesterol
- 29% average decrease in blood sugar

Before you enter the OPTIFAST Program, you'll receive an initial evaluation to determine if OPTIFAST is right for you. Once you start the program, you'll progress through the three phases described below.
Active Weight loss: You'll consume the OPTIFAST meal replacement formulas instead of your typical foods so you don't have to worry about counting calories. You will also begin important lifestyle changes.
Transition: You'll gradually learn how to add self-prepared foods back into your diet while continuing with lifestyle change education.
Long-Term Management: You can participate in ongoing classes and support sessions to help you manage your weight in the future.
