Why We Use OPTIFAST® Products

Since 1974, more than a million people have successfully used OPTIAST weight loss products to achieve fast, effective, and long lasting weight loss. 

The decision to use OPTIFAST products at the Evans Weight Loss Group came after carefully considering the many medical weight loss products available.  Only OPTIFAST was able to meet the standards of manufacturing quality, nutritional completeness, and proven effectiveness that Dr. Evans required.

OPTIFAST is regarded as the gold standard that other weight loss programs and products attempt to meet.  With over 80 clinical publications describing the effectiveness of OPTIFAST, and a clinical database tracking long term results in over 80.000 patients, OPTIFAST remains the most documented and trusted weight loss product available.
