How Optifast works
Optifast is a medically-supervised weight loss program that uses meal replacements to help you lose weight.
There are 4 phases of the Optifast program, and we support you every step of the way:
Assessment: We start with a full assessment to help set your goals and expectations for the program.
The Active Phase: This phase is 12 weeks where you replace your meals fully or partially with the Optifast 900 meal replacement shakes. During the 12 weeks, you meet with your coordinator regularly to build new skills and learn new habits.
Transition: In the second phase, you begin the process of gradually reintroducing food into your eating habits. This is done carefully and with a lot of support to help you make the best choices and set yourself up for long-term success. Your Optifast Coordinator will be with you every step of the way, and after about 12 weeks of transition, you’ll be back into a regular healthy, balanced diet.
Maintenance: Our goal is to set you up for success and leave you with all the tools you need to succeed with your weight maintenance. Our Oak team has many other healthcare practitioners that can help support you in your long-term success. Our dietitian can help you with meal planning and food education, and our kinesiologists can help with exercise programs tailored for you. This program is designed for you to lose weight and keep it off!
