Whether you are trying to lose those last few pounds or you have always struggled with weight loss, you might be wondering which diet plans work quickly and safely. Unfortunately, since some diet plan names sound similar, it isn’t always easy to select the right option for your lifestyle. Here is a little more information about SlimFast® and OPTIFAST®, so you can decide which plan would be best for you.

SlimFast

Created in 1977, SlimFast consists of a group of products that have been used for more than 40 years to help people lose weight. Traditionally, SlimFast offered meal replacement shakes to help customers to cut calories, but today, the company has added snacks, protein bars, smoothies, yogurts, and even treats to their offerings.

The SlimFast program asks people to replace two meals a day with a shake, enjoy a healthy meal of your own that is under 500 calories, and to enjoy three between-meal SlimFast snacks. Although many people have enjoyed weight loss success with SlimFast, it requires self-discipline and a commitment to following the diet plan.

OPTIFAST 

On the other hand, OPTIFAST combines patient education, medical guidance, and diet plans tailored to your personal needs. OPTIFAST is the science-based program that delivers weight loss for health gains.

The OPTIFAST program lasts for 24 weeks and is calorie-controlled based on one's unique nutritional needs. Throughout the process, you will meet with health professionals who will carefully analyze your weight loss, your current health, and any concerns.

OPTIFAST has a long-standing legacy in clinical nutrition with more than 40 years of experience in weight loss. OPTIFAST is supported by more than 80 publications and ongoing research.

The weight loss journey can be difficult to traverse, but it’s much easier with the right team of professionals by your side. Nebraska Weight Management Institute focuses on using science-based medical weight loss practices, like OPTIFAST, to help their clients shed unwanted pounds.
