OPTIFAST

Optifast is a system I have been working with for over four years now. Initially, I thought it was just another one of the many FAD diets available and I personally have never been a “shake” fan myself.
Optifast, however, isn’t just a shake. It was introduced into South Africa by the CDE (Centre for Diabetes and Endocrinology) and is now based in Johannesburg. I have been working with them for many years and hopefully many more.
This is a scientifically based system that is part of a new approach to weight loss and lifestyle associated disease management called VLCD (very low-calorie diets).
I have seen amazing, long lasting results when looking at weight loss, blood sugar and blood pressure control and long-term maintenance of these goals. In my experience of 25+ years of running a Private Dietetic practice, I have not seen a system that allows for results that motivate you to continue while being educated to sustaining the results.
The Optifast system involves 4 stages, through which I will help you navigate. I will be there to educate you along your journey to a healthier you, so that at the end of your weight loss journey, you are confident and capable of maintaining these new adjustments for the rest of your life.
The Optifast shakes replace 2-3 meals and are tasty, 100% nutritionally balanced and super convenient.
The system starts in “The Intensive Phase” of up to 12 weeks, followed by 3 other phases which gradually wean you out of the system, back into a healthier, weight maintaining lifestyle.
This system is medically sound and gives you amazing results in an efficient time frame. The long-term weight loss maintenance can also be impressive, as its all conditional on you following the system correctly.
