WHAT TO EXPECT

Patients who opt for the Comprehensive Program undergo three phases:

• 800-calorie-a-day Optifast liquid diet.
• An average 15% loss of body weight.
• Mandatory weekly group meetings (held days and evenings), led by our highly trained facilitators, to understand and recognize food-related attitudes and behaviors.


2. Beyond Diets (lasts 5–6 weeks)
• Transition from the liquid Optifast to a new, healthy way of eating.
• Implementation of a detailed transition-eating plan.
• Weekly education sessions on nutrition and long-term weight management.


3. Maintenance (ongoing)
• A program with some of the nation’s highest success rates.
• Either continued use of some Optifast products as meal replacement, or another customized eating plan.
• Ongoing group support sessions to learn about nutrition, maintenance issues, and healthy behaviors for a lifetime.
