The Optifast® program (Optifast.com) is a 26-week, medically supervised program for individuals with 50 or more pounds to lose. The first 12 weeks is a very low caloric meal replacement plan which then transitions into a more moderate mixed calorie intake. The weight management team includes physicians, nurses, a dietitian, an exercise specialist, and a psychotherapist. Weekly group and individual clinic visits focus on building skills for lifestyle change.
This program is a 12-week class for those individuals who want to improve their health and weight through exercise, food choices, and the psychology of eating. It begins with an individual nutritional assessment with the dietitian that creates the foundation for effective weight loss. If desired, meal replacements and food supplements can augment this program.
