OPTIFAST^® Contest Winners!

We are pleased to announce the 3 Grand Prize winners of the OPTIFAST “New You” contest, which is designed to encourage and reward OPTIFAST patients for their perseverance and dedicated efforts to lasting healthy lifestyle changes.

Losing a combined total of more than 240 pounds,^* grand prize winners Sandra Dyarman of New Haven, Indiana; Patricia Jaynes of Greer, South Carolina; and Alfred Perez of Chicago, Illinois, embarked on a weekend-long trip to New York City for makeovers and shopping sprees to mark the final chapter of their mental and physical transformations.

“We are so proud and excited to reward these individuals for their unwavering dedication to their long-term health,” said Bill Kesting, Director & General Manager for OPTIFAST. “Their stories have truly inspired us, and we hope they’ll inspire others as well.”

The OPTIFAST program is a clinically proven, comprehensive approach to weight loss.^* It involves support and counseling from medical professionals, lifestyle education and medical monitoring with full meal replacement to help people lose weight and significantly reduce the risk of the effects of associated co-morbidities like Type II Diabetes and heart disease.

*The typical OPTIFAST patient loses 52 pounds in 22 weeks. For many dieters, weight loss is only temporary.

"My wake-up call was hearing the surgeon tell me that my ruptured hernia was caused from my weight and that it could happen again if I didn't do something. Thankfully my Nephrologist referred me to the OPTIFAST clinic, and I made the phone call that changed my life."

"I embarked on a succession of fad diets for nearly 10 years; with each diet, I engaged in a ferocious yet familiar cycle of temporarily losing and regaining weight. The OPTIFAST program not only dispelled imprudent myths that allowed me to deflect my personal responsibility, but also allowed me to tap an inner strength and confidence that I didn't know existed in me."
