Optifast

Optifast VLCD, the safest and most effective away to control your calorie intake. Personally, I find this the Holy Grail of all weight management diets. The easiest and tastiest by far. And, it’s used by hospitals all around the world for bariatric patients too. That’s enough assurance for me. Though it is obtainable only by prescription in Singapore and is controlled by a few hospitals and aesthetic clinics in a near monopolistic fashion, I found out by chance that it is OTC in Australia and NZ. What’s more, they offer Optifast at a fraction of the cost but with double the variety of flavours. Since the boxes are too bulky, I unboxed them and am letting them go per sachet.

Optifast VLCD introduces itself as such:

The Optifast® VLCD™ Program is a nutritionally complete very low calorie diet designed for the management of obesity and severely overweight people.

I’m certainly not obese given that my BMI is 21, but I take this occasionally to lose weight. Because of my morbidly low metabolic rate, if I’m not conscious of what I eat, BOOM! I turn into a pumpkin overnight. Just like that.
