*The success stories depicted in this section are representative of these individuals only and do not represent all OPTIFAST patients.
The typical OPTIFAST patient loses 52 pounds in 22 weeks. For many dieters, weight loss is only temporary. For more information, please see
the "Weight Loss and You" section of this website.
"Three years ago I was a single father taking care of my two children on my
own. I was also at my all time high weight of 305 lbs. I had sleep apnea and I
was using a CPAP machine at night. One morning my children had trouble waking me
up, this was my literal wake up call. Given that their mother was 1500 miles
away, I knew I had to take action. I contacted Alaska Premiere Health and set up
an appointment. After the initial screening they determined I suffered from
metabolic syndrome. I had many choices but the OPTIFAST program appealed to me.
Through the stimuli narrowing process and adding daily exercise I was able to
lose 130 lbs in the course of ten months.
To say that OPTIFAST helped save my life is an understatement. I have taken
up Tang so do (Korean Karate) and I have achieved my green belt (half way to
black) and I have run a number of 5k races and will be doing my first marathon
this summer. I have maintained my weight within 7 lbs for almost two years now
(those 7 lbs are all muscle by the way!) and I have my life back.
Thank you OPTIFAST for giving me my life back."
