Optimal Choices in Weight Management
Why are so many people burdened by the problem of obesity? Why can't these individuals simply eat less and lose weight? Unfortunately, the solution to the problem is not that easy because the root causes of obesity are a complex interaction of genetic, social, cultural, and emotional factors. Unless all aspects of the problem are addressed, it is nearly impossible for most obese people to achieve sustained weight loss.
The Optifast® Program offers new hope to the obese. It is a medically-based treatment program that helps obese patients lose weight safely and maintain their weight loss. Developed by Sandoz Nutrition (now Novartis Nutrition), the Optifast® Program is based on the belief that a problem as complex as obesity requires a complex solution -- one that deals effectively with the physical, social, and emotional aspects of being overweight. Novartis Nutrition has created a multidisciplinary approach to obesity treatment that combines a high quality, calorie controlled liquid diet with behavior modification, nutrition education, exercise, psychological support, and medical monitoring of the patient's conditions.
