If You Are Serious About Losing Weight - Don't Wait!

The Avera Center for Medical Nutrition is pleased to offer the OPTITRIM^® Program.

OPTITRIM is a multi-disciplinary program for weight management that combines a calorie-controlled approach to weight reduction with the integration of nutrition education, behavior modification and activity promotion.

Is your weight affecting your life?

The OPTITRIM Program provides a serious solution for weight loss. It combines comprehensive lifestyle education and nutrition education with a high-quality meal replacement diet.

Excess weight can increase your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Just a modest reduction of 5-10% in weight can dramatically lower your risks of developing obesity and other obesity-related diseases.

Before you enter the OPTITRIM Program, you'll receive an initial evaluation to determine if it is the right program for you. Once you start the program, you'll progress through two phases described below.

Phase I (Weeks 1-8): After laboratory measurements and initial one-to-one visits with a registered dietitian and health coach, you'll consume the OPTIFAST Product meal replacement formulas plus controlled/planned amounts of food, so you don't have to worry about counting a bunch of calories. You will also begin important lifestyle changes. You will also attend weekly group sessions for information and support.

Phase II (Weeks 9-26): Now on a full-food diet, you will continue with individual Health Coach sessions every three weeks. You will also have the option to continue on OPTIFAST Product/partial food diet vs. low-calorie meal plan.

Thank you for your interest in the OPTIFAST program.
