The OPTIFAST weight loss program is inherently different from other weight loss programs. To start, it isn’t set up around unrealistic expectations.

There is research and the program is science-based, which can help you create realistic expectations that will help you move forward on your path to ultimate wellness.
Everyone on this planet is graced with the same amount of time in each day, yet somehow it always seems like we never have quite enough. What you do with your time essentially defines who you are. Where you work, who you know, what you like—all of this can be summarized in how you spend your time, or so it should. More often than not, our time gets taken up doing things we feel we “have” to do, rather than with the things we “want” to do.
The key to sustained weight loss lies within an integrated approach that combines nutrition, self-help, fitness and wellness. As you begin to lose weight and make healthy lifestyle changes during your OPTIFAST program, you will want to incorporate some healthy activities that also combine the above aspects of a healthy weight loss journey.

After several weeks following the OPTIFAST weight loss program, the transition period begins.
