OPTIFAST
Imagine the difference: Weight loss, improved health, renewed energy and self esteem
Dr. Starritt relies heavily on her medical knowledge and experience to provide the very best in top-of-the-line, customized treatments for her patients. This same reliance on experience and knowledge, along with a superb history of clinical results, are just a few of the reasons Dr. Starritt selected Optifast as one of the products for her weight loss clients at Cherry Creek Medical Weight Loss. Optifast has a 35 year history of success in the real world – with thousands of satisfied Optifast users, and has amassed a library of clinical documentation to back up those success stories.
More than 80 peer-reviewed studies and a clinical database of over 80,000 participants illustrate the efficacy of the OPTIFAST program. One study of 20,000 patients completing 22 weeks of OPTIFAST treatment documented a 52% average weight loss, a 15% average decrease in cholesterol, a 29% average treatment in blood glucose, and a 10% average decrease in blood pressure.
A study of more than 20,000 participants shows five years after completing the program, the majority kept enough weight off to improve their health long term. That’s testimony to the quality of the OPTIFAST Program. Dr. Starritt is proud to be an Optifast provider.
A serious solution for weight loss, this comprehensive, medically monitored OPTIFAST Program works because it offers a different path – one that’s clinically proven to help people lose weight and keep it off for the long term.
Proven Benefits
Unlike fad diets, the OPTIFAST program has been proven effective in more than 80 clinical studies and by more than 1 million people who have participated in the program since 1974.
OPTIFAST succeeds because it treats the whole you – not just your weight. It combines support and counseling, comprehensive lifestyle education and medical monitoring with a great-tasting meal replacement to help people lose weight and significantly reduce weight-related health risks.
Five-year follow-up studies show that over 50% of people who complete the OPTIFAST Program keep enough weight off to improve their health long term. What’s the secret? Participants say it’s because OPTIFAST isn’t just a diet – it’s a community that provides ongoing support during and long after weight loss.
Great-tasting Meal Replacement
The well-documented weight loss success of the OPTIFAST Program is based on the use of meal replacements during the active weight loss phase of the program. The benefits include:
- High-quality, complete nutrition
- Pre-portioned and calorie-controlled servings
- Quick and simple preparation
- Freedom from having to make food choices
Some people are skeptical about their ability to follow such a diet, but adjusting to full meal replacement typically only takes about one week. Afterward, many patients report they feel more energetic than they have for a long time.
Positive change can occur quickly. In addition to losing weight, you will improve your health, learn new, healthier eating and activity skills so that when you return to self-prepared foods, you are better equipped to manage your weight long term
Medical Monitored Weight Loss
The OPTIFAST Program includes ongoing medical monitoring to assess your progress towards better health, and that the doses of any medications you are taking and/or the calorie level of your diet are adjusted as you lose weight.
