| ngamlin's Full Review: Optifast Program |
I was desperate and as a last resort called the closest clinic. The nutritional counselor was wonderful and even though I didn't think I could do it...she was supportive. Within the first week I had lost 11 lbs. I felt better than I had in years and had more energy than any diet program I had been on (there were many). I found it quite easy after the first week. I went 12 weeks, lost 40 lbs on the fast, and then took a very slow transition to regular food. The key with this program and any other is that you MUST change your eating/exercise habits in order to keep the weight off. My clinic has a wonderful support group which I plan on continuing with. At this point I am at the top of the "normal range height/weight" chart and on maintenance but plan to go back to a modified program in about a month to lose another 10-15 lbs. The medical and counseling are critical to success. My clinic offered a "pay as you go" plan which allowed for some who felt they couldn't continue due to either financial reasons or difficulty with the program in general. Weekly cost with full supplement approx. $100-$150. Some insurance companies do cover costs.
