Optifast® is a nutritionally complete meal replacement program that assists people to lose weight rapidly in a safe way. It is designed for total food replacement as part of the management of the moderately to severely overweight, particularly where there is an associated secondary condition such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, arthritis, thyroid dysfunction, hormonal imbalances or where obesity is an impediment to surgery. The Optifast® range offers shakes, soups, desserts and bars in various flavours. It is intended to be combined with selected foods to form specific phases of weight management, which can be tailored to your needs and desired weight loss goals.
How does the Optifas® VLCD™ Program work?
By reducing your calorie intake to less than 800 calories per day(during the Intensive Phase), your body switches to breaking down fat as the major energy source and you literally live off your own fat stores. This process is known as ketosis, where ketones are formed.
The formation of ketones on this program is a safe controlled method of calorie restriction.

| Be prepared! Ensure you've always got enough Optifast products and plenty of low starch vegetables on hand, so you're less likely to break your diet when you're tired or can't get to the shops. |
