Medically supervised weight management with the OPTIFAST® VLCD™ Program has been shown to produce rapid weight loss. Research has shown that on average, weight losses of 1.0-2.5kg per week have been achieved while on the Intensive Level1, 2. Rate of weight loss can vary and will depend on the amount of energy you use each day (energy expenditure). It is common to see a larger amount of weight loss in the first week of the program. The weight loss in the second week will give you an idea of what to expect ongoing.
