OPTIFAST Lite Program 

Looking for a jump start but a full or mini program isn't the right choice for you? OPTIFAST Lite could be what you are looking for. Participants consume three OPTIFAST shakes plus a regular meal for a total of 1100 calories. Meal selections include lean protein, vegetables, fruit and low fat dairy products. Our Registered Dieticians will work with you to choose foods to eat for your regular meal and help customize your plan.
