    What's that? I know there's Optifast which is a medical weight loss plan. Optifast has you drink your nutrients and you're limited to 800 calories a day. You also must attend weekly or semi-weekly (2X a week) meetings. The program lasts for 4 months. It's honestly about kicking your addiction to food. The liquid shake diet helps you see food as fuel, not as a source for comfort or feeling good. You're in a group support setting. It costs a fair amount and if you miss more than 2 meetings, you get kicked out of the group (because you are suppose to take this seriously). My roommate was on Optifast for a couple of months. She lost a fair bit of weight (11% of her body weight in like 2-3 months) but didn't finish the program and gained all the weight back :/ (in addition to wasting $$$$).

    After looking on the website here's the info: You pay them $$$$$. The idea is low-carb combined with the "supplements" which are vitamin B complexes in addition to some calcium and K+ and an "appetite suppressant".

    IF you think it's worth the money, then go for it. I honestly don't think it's worth the money. I HAVE lost all my weight on low-carb. But I keep tract of my carbs on here, for free. Fat is a natural appetite suppressant. This is your personal decision though. If you feel like you would do best with some one showing you the ropes and telling you what to do, then great. Just remember, when the program is over, you'll be on your own. If you're fine with learning and doing things on your own, might as well just try MFP first since it's free. Again, this is your decision and you know yourself best.

    I'm not from AZ, so I can't speak to this particular program but I don't think it's a reach to say they're all the same. RIP OFF. I wasted thousands of dollars on such programs before I wised up.

    Save your money, eat 20% below your TDEE, and get moving.

    Love your ticker pic BTW. The best dog I ever had the privilege of owning was a German Shepherd.
