Why Use OPTIFAST®?

Many people are familiar with OPTIFAST products as one of the leading medical weight loss products in the world. Dr. Auriemma's choice to use OPTIFAST is based on several key factors:

  • OPTIFAST has exceptionally high nutritional quality, and its development and manufacturing standards are amongst the highest in the industry. It is the only medial weight loss product to qualify for ISO production standard certification.
  • Most patients find the flavor and consistency of OPTIFAST quite pleasant. Because of the range of interchangeable products and flavors, patients are able to enjoy a variety of products according to their specific preferences.
  • OPTIFAST was the first comprehensive formula diet program for weight loss and has the longest documented history of successful obesity treatment.
  • OPTIFAST is more than just a food product. It is backed by an extensive network of bariatric (medical weight loss) experts who have developed medical protocols, patient education and support materials, and an entire scientifically validated curriculum for integration into medical weight management programs like the one at Oak Brook Heath and Nutrition.
  • OPTIFAST has been used by over a million people worldwide.
  • There are over 80 studies published in reputable medical journals validating the results of the program. Some of these studies have followed over 20,000 patients who have used OPTIFAST.
  • Research has shown that the average weight loss in a full formula OPTIFAST program is 52 pounds. Follow up studies show that after 5 years, more than half of OPTIFAST program participants had maintained enough weight loss to improve their health (medically significant weight loss). Compared with most weight loss programs, this is an exceptional achievement.
  • Validated improvement in common obesity-related medical conditions have been seen in patients using OPTIFAST:
    • 29% average decrease in blood glucose
    • 15% average decrease in total cholesterol
    • 10% average decrease in blood pressure

In our opinion, there is no better medical weight management formula available than OPTIFAST. The nutritional completeness of the product and the comprehensive medical guidelines and support materials provided by Oak Brook Health and Nutrition contribute to the weight loss success that our patients experience.
