| bjimenez's Full Review: Optifast Program |
In all fairness, I would like to say that I tried this program over 5 years ago, and, therefore, the product very well may have improved. However it would have had to improve tremendously to even reach an acceptable level.
I was on the Optifast Medical Program, with not only the products, but the physician visits, group meetings, and teaching materials. I went on the program because my sister wanted to do it, and, since I was heavier than her, I decided I better jump in there, too.
Bad choice. She quit after 2 days. I lasted 6 and a half weeks, with absolutely not cheating. I loved the fact that I had total autonomy over this program, because you drank the 5 protein shakes and ate nothing. No choices, no confusion, no temptation, no problem. However, the product did not like me as well as I liked it. I stopped because my stomach started to bleed (the lining), a great deal of my hair fell out, and I felt really tired and sick.
The doctor confirmed that the product had given me a slight ulceration in my stomach, and that I could not remain on the program. Two months later I was pregnant, and never tried this again.
I lost 37 pounds in 6 and a half weeks, and I regained all of it, and more after leaving the program (on doctor's advice).
