The CDE-OPTIFAST® Weight Loss Program is based on a very low calorie diet (VLCD), which provides roughly 800 kcal of energy per day for the first 8 weeks. This is less than half the calorie content of a conventional weight loss diet. The Program has shown to significantly reduce body weight by roughly 1-2.5 kg per week The CDE-OPTIFAST® Program is a structured nutritional and behavioural change program developed by leading experts and supported by medical professionals. The Program consists of three phases to assist participants in their weight loss journey

• Mean 22% Weight loss
• Improved clinical metrics (Blood pressure, HbA1c and total cholesterol)
• Reduced need for medication, including reductions in oral medications and / or insulin 

Recent studies with Type 2 diabetics showed that 87% of people who have had Type 2 diabetes for less than four years achieved remission after 8 weeks on the CDE-Optifast® program and 50% of the patients who had Type 2 diabetes for 8 - 10 years, achieved remission.
