Is your weight affecting your life? If you answered "yes," the OPTIFAST® Program provides a serious solution for weight loss. It combines comprehensive lifestyle education and medical monitoring with a high-quality meal replacement diet.
The OPTIFAST® Program succeeds because it treats the whole you, not just your weight. CMC’s trained health care professionals partner with you to create a customized strategy to reach your goals.
How the OPTIFAST® Program WorksBefore you enter the OPTIFAST® Program, you’ll receive an initial evaluation to determine if OPTIFAST® is right for you. Once you start the program, you’ll progress through the three phases:
- Active Weight Loss: You’ll consume the OPTIFAST® meal replacement formulas instead of your typical foods so you don’t have to worry about calories. You will also begin important lifestyle changes.
- Transition: You’ll gradually learn how to add self-prepared foods back into your diet while continuing with lifestyle change education.
- Long-term Management: You can participate in ongoing classes and support sessions to help you manage your weight in the future.
Benefits of the OPTIFAST® Program
People eat less when they have fewer food choices. OPTIFAST® is a full meal replacement diet, restricting your food options for a limited time. This helps you control your calorie intake and gives you time to focus on making healthy lifestyle changes.
The OPTIFAST® products help you cut calories, not nutrients. They provide 100% of your daily vitamin and mineral needs in convenient, portion-controlled formulas and nutrition bars.
Partial Fast Program
CMC now offers a partial fast option! The plan allows for 1200 calories for women and 1500 calories for men and includes a combination of OPTIFAST® shakes, soups or bars with your own healthy self-prepared foods. This program does not require medical monitoring. Participation in the progam includes group nutrition, exercise and behavior modification classes. Meetings are held on the first and third Thursdays of each month from 6 to 7 PM.
