The OPTIFAST VLCD products contain all of the nutrients required for safe and effective weight loss, such as vitamins and minerals. For fast weight loss, you can choose to replace 3 meals each day with OPTIFAST VLCD products. This is the 'Intensive Level' and is the ‘very low calorie diet’ component of the Program, which has been shown to be safe and effective. For more gradual weight loss, you can choose to replace either 2 or 1 meals each day (Active 2 and Active 1 Levels).
