Weight Loss Plans: Optifast Liquid Diet or Optifast with One Meal Per Day


Optifast is a medically supervised weight management program that includes meal replacement shakes, lifestyle education, counseling and personalized support. Optifast can be used for people seeking to lose as few as 10 pounds, to more than 100 pounds of excess weight. Dr. Anne Hermann, our medical director, is a Tampa/St. Petersburg Optifast provider and board certified nutritionist who has seen incredible results in her patients. *Individual results may vary

What Does the Optifast Program Entail?


Our team of doctors and nurse practitioners will determine how many calories you should consume to achieve your weight loss goals while still getting the nutrition and energy that your body needs.

The program includes three phases: Active Weight Loss, Transition and Long-Term Weight management. Though your specific program will vary according to your needs, the Active phase typically involves a full meal replacement diet of Optifast products. The Transition phase incorporates regular food that you will prepare yourself. *Individual results may vary

Once you’ve started the Optifast program, you will come in weekly for body measurements, lifestyle education and to check in with a medical provider. We will counsel you about nutrition and lifestyle changes to help you maintain your weight loss after you’ve finished your Optifast. You will receive all the support, counseling and accountability that you need to achieve your weight loss goals. *Individual results may vary

Advantages of Optifast

Optifast is the best studied, most effective and safest liquid diet program on the market today. It replaces all of the nutrients, amino acids and essential fats that you need to be healthy. Since 1974, more than one million people have participated.

One of the key elements that makes Optifast a trusted weight loss program is the medical supervision. Being monitored and supported by a well-qualified team like Dr. Hermann’s enhances the safety and effectiveness of the program; it will also help you address and modify behaviors for long-term successful weight management.

In addition to weight loss, Optifast patients may also experience a decrease in blood pressure and cholesterol. Many find that being lighter and leaner makes it easier to exercise and enjoy an active lifestyle.

For some people, Optifast is a convenient low-risk, low-cost alternative to weight loss surgery. It is easy to incorporate into your regular work schedule and lifestyle, and does not involve the surgery-related risks or potential complications. Also, there is no recovery time. *Individual results may vary
