Long-term Weight Maintenance
OPTIFAST® program experts recognize that a key to successful weight management is periodic or continuous involvement in an OPTIFAST® weight-management program.
- Weight management is an ongoing process that requires intermittent behavioral, nutrition, and exercise intervention
- Relapse is not unusual. Persistence, not perfection, is the key
- The real solution lies not in weight loss, but in weight management: helping patients maintain a healthy weight over time, particularly in the first year after completing the OPTIFAST® program is the key to long-term results.
