What if I told you that you can restrict your calories and still eat the foods you love! Managing your weight does not mean meals have to be boring.
Optifast is a four phase system for weight managment and control. On the Optifast program you can enjoy milk shakes, ice cream, tasty chocolate, berry crunch and cappuccino bars, soups and desserts. This means you get the benefit of controlling your calories but can still have a treat.
"How Does It Work?" The optifast diet works by reducing your calorie rate below 800 calories a day - this means your body has to draw on your own fat stores instead of getting calories from food.
"What Do I Have To Do?" There are four phases in the Optifast program - your health professional can advice you which one is best for your body.
When you first start you replace all meals with Optifast products so that calorie intake can be clearly monitored, as you start to lose weight you then re-introduce normal meals.
The ingredients in all the products are balanced with carbs, protein, nutrients, minerals and essential fatty acids to help preseve lean body mass.
"Isn't That going To Be Expensive?" Because you are only eating Optifast products in the early stages you are not spending extra money on snacks and eating out so some people actually save money on their normal grocery bill.
"What Are The Different Phases for Optifast?" Phase One: Intensive Phase
Replace all of your meals with Optifast products. Eat with two cups of low starch green vegetables and two litres of water a day.
*(these vegetables include alfalfa sprouts, beans, bok choy, broccoli, brussel sprouts, celery, cabbage, capsicum, carrots, cauliflower, cucumber, eggplant, garlic, lettuce, leeks, mung beans, mushrooms, onions, radish, shallots, silver beet, spinach, squash, tomato, watercress, zucchini)
Phase Two: Transition Phase
Introduce one low calorie meal back into your diet (between 300-350 Calories) eat in conjunction with two cups of low starch vegetables, two serves of fruit, one serve of dairy and two litres of water per day.
(Fruit and dairy servings should contain 50-70 calories and 10-15g of carbohydrate.)
Phase Three: Maintenance Phase
During this phase you have just one meal using Optifast products and the rests are normal healthy low calorie options. You have it with two cups of low starch vegies, two serves of fruit, one serve of dairy, and two litres of water a day.
Phase Four: Stabilisation Phase
Once you have lost the desired amount of weight you should be at a stage where you no longer require Optifast and your are eating healthy meals that are low in calories. If you wish to continue losing weight it is vital to restrict calories under 1500 per day.
