Why should your patient become a member?

The OPTIFAST® VLCD™ website offers a whole range of benefits to help and support you and your patient through a successful weight loss journey.

Encouraging your patient to join the OPTIFAST® VLCD™ website will give them access to a range of tools and resources that they will be able to use as part of their weight loss journey. In addition it will also allow you to monitor and review their progress online as well as update and modify their plans.

Becoming a member of the OPTIFAST® VLCD™ program will offer your patients full access to all features of the website and requires a one off payment of $99.

For this they will receive;

  • Unrestricted access to website functionality with no unexpected recurring fees or lock out periods
  • Their own personalised OPTIFAST® VLCD™ Meal and Exercise Planner with the ability to track both the food consumed each day as well as exercise performed
  • Access to regularly updated low calorie recipes to help keep their weight off long term and inspire them to get back into the kitchen
  • Informative articles and blogs from our OPTIFAST® VLCD™ healthcare professional team
  • A personalised progress tracker so they can see and monitor their weight loss progress
  • Ongoing support from like-minded members through our Weight Loss Community Forum
  • Ability for an OPTIFAST® VLCD™ Accredited Healthcare Professional in their local area to monitor their progress online

A 14-day free trial period* is offered to trial and experience the new OPTIFAST® VLCD™ website and all of its features.

Non-paying members will have access to loads of useful information about the OPTIFAST® VLCD™ Program as well as the ability to find a healthcare professional and pharmacy in their local area and access to the online store. Access to the full range of planning and tracking tools, recipes and community forum highlighted above will not be available.

The OPTIFAST® VLCD™ team appreciate that everyone is different and that no one plan will suit or achieve the desired results for all people. Whilst you, as their healthcare professional are the main point of support, additional support like the OPTIFAST® VLCD™ Community Forum, tracking tools, recipes and resources will only enrich their weight loss experience and increase long term compliance.
