Reasons to Lose Weight

It’s not about how you look, it's about your health. Being overweight or obese can affect your basic health and quality of life. It can:

  • Make you more likely to develop certain medical conditions.
  • Make having some medical conditions more challenging.

In fact, the more overweight you are, the more likely you are to be faced with obesity-related health risks. That's why bringing your weight down is so important: it can help lower your chances of developing certain health problems, and even help you manage some conditions you already have. If your BMI, or Body Mass Index, measures 30 or more, losing even some of the excess weight with OPTIFAST can make a difference in your life.
