Optifast products are comprised of high-quality protein, essential fatty acids, and filling carbohydrates. The products provide a nutritionally complete formula containing essential nutrients, minerals, trace elements the body requires to maintain optimal health and wellbeing.

The Optifast program consists of four stages which include the intensive phase, transition phase, maintenance phase and stabilization phase.

• Intensive Phase: This is the initial phase which replaces all meals and is consumed in conjunction with 2 cups of low starch, green vegetables, 2 serves of fruit, 1 serve of dairy, and 2 liters of water per day.
• Transition Phase: One low-calorie meal is introduced into the diet (approximately 300-350 calories), in combination with 2 cups of low starch vegetables, 2 serves of fruit, 1 serve of dairy, and 2 liters of water per day.
• Maintenance Phase: At this phase of the program, Optifast replaces one meal a day in combination with two low-calorie meals (approximately 300-350 calories each), 2 cups of low starch vegetables, 2 serves of fruit, 1 serve of dairy, and 2 liters of water per day.
• Stabilization Phase: Once weight loss has been accomplished, you may no longer require Optifast products to maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle.
