What is Optifast VLCD?
The Optifast programme is a nutritionally complete, very low calorie diet (VLCD). It's a scientifically formulated and clinically proven diet to help you manage your weight quickly without sacrificing good nutrition. The Optifast VLCD programme has been used successfully by millions of people over the last 30 years and on average weight losses of 1.0-2.5 kgs per week can be achieved(1).
How does the programme work?
Optifast is incredibly simple. Food is replaced with the Optifast products, which are designed to restrict energy intake, whilst maintaining healthy nutrition. The programme is flexible and can be adapted to suit your lifestyle and your weight management goals. You can choose to replace 1, 2 or 3 meals per day with Optifast.
Consultation fee may apply. Weight management programmes should always be used in conjunction with a healthy diet, exercise and professional advice (1). Wadded TA, Frey DL. VLCDs: 1993: 99:675-84
