OPTIFAST® is a full formula diet specifically designed to completely replace normal food. This treatment has been used by more than one million people since it was introduced in 1974. A typical program uses OPTIFAST® shakes, soups and bars to replace a normal diet. We use OPTIFAST® at Nirvana Clinic because of its superior quality and taste when compared to the majority of meal replacement products. Throughout the program you will be closely monitored by our clinical staff who are specially trained in using these products for weight loss. Many patients who are using medications to control cholesterol, blood sugar and blood pressure are able to reduce these medications as their weight loss progresses. Your program physician will work with you and your regular doctor to coordinate these medication adjustments if appropriate. You will also receive individual and group education sessions where you will develop eating plans, healthy lifestyle strategies and plan for long term maintenance and avoiding relapses. Does it work?There have been over 80 studies published in recognized medical journals that show the average weight loss on the OPTIFAST® is about 52lbs. This information was drawn from 20,000 patients using the program. The program also demonstrates a average 12% drop in blood sugar and cholesterol as well as a 10% drop in blood pressure. Why does it work?The success of this program is because it treats every aspect of your weight problem not just the dietary part. As a comprehensive program we address the medical, lifestyle, nutritional and psychological components of weight loss. The OPTIFAST® program has been constantly developed and refined over the last 30 years to incorporate the most scientifically valid and effective methods for weight loss and long-term maintenance. Every part of the program is designed to give you the very best chance of success possible.
