I started this plan about 8 months ago, not always sticking to it, especially on weekends and during vacations. I am a certified Nutritionist, working on my nutrition to shed pounds and improve my blood sugar and blood pressure levels. On the Optavia plan, I’ve lost 31 of the 40 pounds I want to lose. It’s very simple to follow, and you do lose around 10-12 pounds a month when you stick to it. My blood sugars (checked with my continuous glucose monitor) are doing great when I follow the plan, and my blood pressure is also good. I feel so much better! I haven’t yet switched to the maintenance plan since I still have 9 pounds to lose. Once I reach that point, I’ll be cautious to make sure I don’t regain the weight, or, if needed, go back to this healthy diet to maintain my weight. After 30-40 years of struggling with weight loss, even getting an MS in nutrition, NOTHING worked for me until I tried this plan! I strongly recommend it!

I lost 109lbs in 10 months.

I lost 109lbs in 10 months. I’ve struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember. Optavia has been a game changer for me. I really appreciate my coach, the encouraging community, and the books. People who dislike Optavia often only tried a small part of the program… just the food… but it’s much more than that. It’s about building a lifestyle that promotes long-term health. It’s about taking responsibility for your own life, which can be hard, especially when you’re stuck in a victim mindset. I was there for a long time, so I know it’s tough to break free. But I don’t want to discredit anyone else’s journey, this is just mine. <3

I began the program about 9 weeks

I began the program about 9 weeks ago and lost 35 pounds. I had only positive interactions with my coach, and the reading material is great. The food is good with lots of choices. My wife and I are doing it together and she's down nearly 28 pounds! The company founder knows you won't stay on it forever and offers solutions for the future. The material I'm studying is awesome! Most of it will carry over to life in general, not just food intake. I've enjoyed it a lot so far!

It really depends on your body and what it needs.

It really depends on your body and what it needs. I tried Jenny Craig and lost more weight than with Optavia. Optavia didn’t help me at all. My body probably needs regular food. If you want to lose weight, just do what I do. No more diets! I eat healthy most days and make sure I take a certain number of steps each day using my smart watch, but you can do this with your phone too. On weekends and holidays, I eat what I want without overdoing it, using portion control and no 2nd servings. I eat 80% of my plate and wait a bit before getting up because it helps me feel full. I also drink 64 oz of water every day, swim 20 laps in summer, and ride my bike 3 miles when it’s too cold to swim. I’ve lost over 80 lbs slowly and kept it off. Jenny Craig, NutriSystem, Optavia...they are diets that might work for some but not others. My principal and K5 teacher at school both lost a lot of weight. But when they went back to eating real food, they gained it back and had to start Optavia again.

This program doesn’t even deserve a single star!

This program doesn’t even deserve a single star! As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist working in the area of Eating Disorders I have seen first hand that this program contributes to disordered eating and eating disorders. Despite what they say it is a multilevel marketing program that preys on desperate customers, enticing them with before and after pictures. Would like to see 1 year post diet? Everyone I have worked with has gained all the weight and more back. This leaves them with feelings of guilt and shame and has pushed them into eating disorders! The coaches are users of the products and they have no expertise in the field of nutrition! They make money and also have to keep up their diet and weight loss so Optavia keeps them hostage too! Really is eating bars filled with (read the label) and only veggies and protein sustainable? No it drives the binge cycle and much more! One of the most harmful diets mentally and physically on a person!

I was stunned to see a charge of $452.15 for the initial box

I was stunned to see a charge of $452.15 for the initial box - so overpriced. Then, I was billed $781.96 for the second boxes weeks after I canceled my membership. $329.81 extra for the second box! Ridiculous!

Absolutely no stars

Absolutely no stars. Dreadful customer service, no way to reach management, and they conveniently blame supply shortages when discontinuing products. My advice: steer clear of this company at all costs!
