How is the OPTIFAST® Formula different from other weight loss formulas?
OPTIFAST is labeled as a medical food. Although it may be consumed as part of a traditional food diet, it is designed to provide complete meal replacements. This is not the case with over-the-counter liquid formulas. In addition, OPTIFAST has been very carefully engineered to prevent sugar highs and lows when it is consumed under the supervision of a physician. This is particularly important for people who are diabetic or who have insulin resistance. We encourage you to compare the nutritional composition of OPTIFAST to any other meal replacement product. There is a substantial difference. This information is readily available at our clinic.
