If you use the program correctly. After you hit your optimal weight, you go through transition and eventually don’t do the program anymore. It is made to create new habits. And have you live a healthier life style.
Today is my first day too…..its 4:20pm and I am getting hungry or I am just thinking about eating!!! I cant eat my green and lean meal for another 1-1/2 hour still….I am going to hang in there too…I have great coaches…and my grown daughter is sooo encouraging to me….I got ALOT of bars in my box…i want FOOOOODdD not bars…..but this might be the way…???
I have a friend who pushes this on everyone. So one mutual friend took the bait and hit this diet hard. He went into adrenal failure and almost died. The program damn near killed him. Glad I said NO NO NO to this crap.
I started optavia 3 weeks ago, my last day is this coming Sunday. I decided to give it a go because I’d be home all day because of covid and because I thought I would make an investment towards my health. First days were hell for me. I stayed on 5-and-1 these few weeks and I’m starting to open my eyes to how ridiculous this feels. Yes, I’ve lost weight, yes I feel better when I look in the mirror. But I hate how restrictive this DIET is. Incredibly unrealistic. I hate having to say no to beans, carrots, fruits, and other vegetables that I know are good for me. I miss eating dinner with my family. I feel ridiculous not being able to indulge not even in a cup of coffee. Apart from their bars, the rest of the food they send you is pretty bad-tasting. You can taste and feel the fake. They all have the same hint of fake taste. I am finishing this month because I did spend a lot of money on it. My coach even tried getting me to be a coach the first few days on the plan, which I said no to, in case that wasn’t clear. I would rather eat good food on my own, when I want to, the way I want to. If there’s one thing I learned while on this plan it is that I have enough will power. Now all I have to do is use this will power to eat a healthier, more complete diet. I can become healthier. But not with optavia. Thank you for your video. I wish I watched it before I gave them my money. P.S I only found out it was optavia until after I payed and received a confirmation email which that in itself should have been a red flag
You say that nothing is defined, however, everything is defined in both books you are given when you begin the PROGRAM! Also, it is NOT a diet it is a new healthier way of living. When you reach your optimal goal then you are able to up your nutritional amount. You should really check your facts! What you say is wrong. Additionally, if your in a place such as myself where you need help with losing weight and cooking healthy it is PERFECT!
Carbs are also bad for you by the way… check into all of the low and no carb diets… OptaVia is awesome!! I’ve no problem with wanting to eat more and also the lean and green is not the only meal. Again, do your research because you don’t have all the facts straight!
Wow! You know nothing about this program! Before you blast a program you should talk to a Optavia coach. This is not a diet and you are stuck that the fuelings are forever. Once they have achieved their optimal weight, clients are maintained out slowly back into the real world. The fueling are there to help the client get to a optimal weight as we are teaching them healthy habits. The small meals and you should know this as a dietician help control their blood sugar while maintaining lean healthy muscled and burning fat. THIS IS NOT A CALORIE DIET!!!! The fuelings that you are soooooo stuck on are only 25% of the program. THIS IS NOT A DIET, again! This is a lifestyle change. The other parts of the program are coaching, education and community. Optavia gives many tools that helps thier clients stay successful once they have gone back out to the real world. THAT IS WHAT IS MEANT BY LIFELONG TRANSFERMATION!!!! Also, you know nothing about what is in the fueling. They are the right amount of healthy fats, healthy CARBOHYDRANTS, and lean proteins. Clients don’t feel hungry or feel that they have brain fog like your were claiming on your video. Many client state that they feel more clear headed and have burst of energy. I feel if you are going to talk badly about a program, you should do much more than a quick google search! Maybe, try the program! This is very disappointing that a dietician would put this out there and would stop clients get the help they need. You must of lost clients to Optavia because of how easy and supportive it is. (UGLY TRUE MAYBE!!!) This video is reckless and irresponsible! If you would of done your reach right you would have found that more then half the coaches are doctors, nurses, and yes, dieticians. OH, yeah! All the studies were done and backed by John’s Hopkins!

I wish you nothing but the best and many next time you will do better research.
What a great accomplishment you have made! It takes a lot of courage and self-discipline to keep going. Mindset is one of the biggest things I teach to my clients when they are going into losing weight! I think it is easy to lose weight but keeping it off is the hard part because if you don’t change your mind the body change will only be temporary!
When going on Optavia, get in the Habits of Health book and workbook that you get….it’s a life changer, not just a diet!
I just watched your 5 week update video so it’s good to hear your thoughts after 1 year. I am not a fan of “diet foods” but I think it’s good to get something to kickstart the weight loss and kudos to you for using it for that.
It’s really interesting to hear your thoughts on this having tried it. I think anything where they force you to use their products only are more of a money maker than actually a ‘healthy lifestyle’ thing. I’ve tried some of those in the past and I think where you have the option to do your own cooking & as you said, make your own choices eating out are a better option.
I agree 100%, I’m on it now and I’m looking to lose weight, build metabolism for 3 months then tweet the fuel to a lifestyle fit for me. But in the long run eating a bunch snack bars is not forever.
My best friend is doing it now. What i find perplexing is that 75% of all the foods and bars are full of genetically modified soy, including the “Select” options. Well known now that soy is dangerous to health and GMO soy kills lab animals. I could piece my plan together with the non soy options, there are a few. A company that would use soy in this day and age tho…
Do you have nothing better to do? Honestly, this has helped so many ppl I personally know, are you trying to discourage people, that have changed their life around, what is your point, this has worked amazing for me! Of chorse your couldn’t eat that way, how much do you even need to loose? You’ve never even tried it LOL
U did digging? Did you actually talk to coaches, doesn’t seem like you know much! But the success I’ve seen in myself, family and friends says otherwise!! U seen like you have nothing better in your life to do!!
I totally disagree with your assessment. You do spend more money while you are on the weight loss part of the program but the whole point is to get you to transition and maintenance. At that point you aren’t eating 5 pre-packaged meals a day. You shift to 4&2 and then you can choose if you don’t want to purchase the fuelings any longer, there are other options. Listening to you, I am not sure if you did your homework while on plan. Dr. Andersons’ Healthy Habits book is an essential part of learning the program and what comes next and how to live your best healthy life. Congrats on your weight loss. For many people, they have tried so many programs and may have some success or may not but the health you gain on this program is totally worth it. I know my coach keeps bars and shakes on hand as her snacks for the day but otherwise eats healthy meals. For any program to be successful long term, you have to change your habits. You can have a holiday meal but that meal can’t turn into a week of holiday fun into a month of holiday parties. I have been on program for 6 months and am down 54#. In that 6 months, I took a 3 week vacation and did not stay on program. I let myself enjoy my meals but didn’t have dessert every day and skipped the bread. I gained 6# on vacation and lost it in 1 week going back on program. This health plan is sustainable and it works again and again.
This would so not work for me. Good it works for others though
I love this video and you totally convinced me to try this diet! You look amazing btw! Do you ever go off though.. as in, do you go out to eat for lunch or breakfast? Like eggs? Fruit? Or do you strictly stick to this?
Optavia is Medifast.
(Medifast renamed its community/coaching branch Optavia.)
It is a proven and established weight loss program.
I used it on my own, no coach, and lost my weight in two months. Walking keeps it off.
I disagree with so much in this video. She keeps saying it’s not possible for someone to eat low carb, your body is going to win in the long run, ect. This is a ridiculous statement. I eat low carbs right now, it’s absolutely possible. Tons of people are on paleo, or keto or just low carb diets. Of course, it’s possible to eat low carbs, what a weird thing of her to say.
I think it’s common sense that none of these fad diets are healthy long term. I would say use as a tool to kickstart weight loss while you also learn how to eat healthier. You cannot live on shakes and bars and as soon as you go off them you’ll gain the weight back. So use it to kickstart your weight loss and then adopt a healthy lifestyle of walking, fruits and veggies, a little protein and cut the junk food out. Much healthier in the long run!
Lol ur brain uses glucose, not prefers carbs and ur body can make glucose out of ketones.
