Write your weight loss goals on a piece of paper, and tape them
somewhere visible - perhaps on the fridge or your bedroom mirror,
to keep you motivated.
How it works
A healthier future starts with Optifast® VLCD™
Weight loss with the Optifast® VLCD™ program is
achieved by restriction of carbohydrate, and total energy intake.
This enables your body to draw its energy from your own fat
stores.
Very low calorie diets have been shown to be very effective in
the treatment of obesity, with weekly weight losses averaging
approximately 2.0kg in the first 4-6 weeks, providing greater
initial weight loss than other forms of calorie
restriction. Optifast® VLCD™ has been widely
researched in numerous clinical studies and used for more than 30
years as a safe method of weight management.
While your energy intake is restricted, 3 Optifast®
VLCD™ meals a day provides all the vitamins and minerals you
need.
The Optifast® VLCD™ product range
Optifast® VLCD™ products contain carbohydrates,
essential fatty acids and high quality protein, which helps
preserve lean body mass while you lose your fat stores.
Optifast® VLCD™ is available in a wide range of products
such as soups, shakes, bars and desserts, in a number of delicious
flavours.
Maintaining your ideal weight
There are 3 active phases of the Optifast® VLCD™
program, you can replace 3, 2, or 1 daily meal with an
Optifast® VLCD™ sachet or bar. Whichever phase you start
on, in the Optifast® VLCD™ program, it is recommended
that your non-Optifast® VLCD™ meal(s) be 500 calories or
less and we can help with recipe ideas so you know exactly what you
can eat.
By maintaining a lifestyle consuming 3 low calorie, healthy meals
every day when you have reached your ideal weight, you will be able
to maintain this in the long term!
