 The well-documented weight loss success of the OPTIFAST® Program is based on a portion-controlled, calorically precise, nutritionally complete, formula meal replacement that has been shown to help people stick to their diet plan. Depending on the amount of weight loss your wish to achieve, you may be prescribed OPTIFAST formula to replace all of your normal meals or just some of them. OPTIFAST formulas and bars take the guess- work out of dieting. The benefits include:
Although you may be skeptical about following a Formula diet, most people find this aspect of the treatment to be the easiest part because there are no food choices to be made. Hunger typically goes away after the first week or so. Many patients report they feel more energetic than they have for a long time. This probably is due to more stable blood sugar levels, consumption of a balanced diet, decreased weight, and increased activity level, even though the actual calories consumed are reduced. Think of the full formula phase of the OPTIFAST program as taking a vacation from food. While on vacation you will lose weight, improve your health, and learn new, healthier eating and activity skills so that when you return to self-prepared foods, you are better equipped to manage your weight long term. The active weight loss phase is followed by a 4-6 week transition period during which you will gradually add self-prepared foods back to your diet. Participants graduate to a maintenance diet rich in fruits and vegetables, grains and low-fat proteins. During treatment they will have learned techniques to include small amounts of their favorite foods into their new healthy lifestyle. |
