OPTIFAST for Your Patients
OPTIFAST offers a clinically proven, serious solution for weight loss.1,2
- Medically monitored program
- Available since 1974
- Supported by 80+ studies
At the heart of the OPTIFAST Program are portion-controlled, calorie precise, nutritionally complete OPTIFAST meal replacements that take the guesswork out of eating.
The benefits of OPTIFAST products such as our shakes, soups and bars include:
- Freedom from having to make food choices
- Quick and simple preparation
- High-quality, complete nutrition
- Pre-portioned and calorie-controlled servings
During the Active Weight Loss phase, patients consume only the OPTIFAST meal replacements. The active weight loss phase using OPTIFAST products is followed by a 4-6 week transition period during which participants gradually add self-prepared foods back to their diets. Participants move to a long-term weight management program rich in fruits and vegetables, grains and low-fat proteins. During the program they will have learned techniques to include small amounts of their favorite foods into their new healthy lifestyle.
