A healthy lifestyle begins with proper nutrition. Consuming small and frequent meals every two to three hours will allow your body to enter a gentle fat-burning state, while ensuring that you get the necessary balance of carbohydrates, proteins and fats to keep your energy up and maintain your hectic schedule.

Optavia’s signature Optimal Weight 5 & 1 Plan®  empowers you with the tools you need to fuel your body in the right way. This begins with teaching you to eat six small meals a day – an important habit to kickstart your wellness journey.

Under the plan, your daily meals will consist of five Optavia Fuelings – pre-made, portion-controlled meals that are tasty, nutrient dense, nutritionally interchangeable and contains high-quality, complete protein that helps retain lean muscle mass – and one Lean & Green™ meal that you’ll learn how to make with the help of comprehensive resources.

Each Lean & Green meal includes 140 to 200 grams of cooked lean protein, three servings of non-starchy vegetables, and up to two servings of healthy fats.

Many meal plans lack the variety to prevent your taste buds from getting bored and keep those cravings for unhealthy snacks at bay. We’d be the first to admit that eating brown rice, steamed chicken breast and broccoli for every meal can get dull quickly.

With Optavia, you’ll be treated to an array of exciting foods. For instance, their Fuelings meals span over 20 different options and include shakes, soups and desserts.

Meanwhile, their Lean & Green recipes were developed in partnership with the Culinary Institute of America and cover a wide selection of Asian and Western favourites: everything from spicy Thai basil pork and nasi lemak to burgers and lasagne.

With the sheer variety of healthy and hearty choices available, you’ll find it easier to stay committed to your goals.

A healthy lifestyle is about so much more than what you eat. We believe that the best approach to wellness is a holistic one – not merely subscribing to diet hacks, but nurturing sustainable wellness practices across all aspects of your life.

That’s why Optavia’s comprehensive Habits of Health™ Transformational System – designed by US critical care physician, Optavia cofounder and independent Optavia Coach Dr Wayne Scott Andersen – focuses on six key wellness areas: weight management, hydration, motion, sleep, mindfulness and surroundings.

This means that besides eating well, you’ll be empowered to cultivate healthy habits by making small and simple lifestyle changes. These changes include being less sedentary, improving your physical and mental health, and ensuring proper hydration.

Staying committed to your health goals can be hard, especially if none of your family members or friends are doing it with you.

To provide you with a robust support system, Optavia pairs each Client with a Coach to guide them on the path to optimal well-being. Many Coaches are previous Optavia Clients, so they’ll have first-hand experience and are uniquely equipped to help you navigate the programme.

Such personalised support is a game changer, and can be the key to helping you stay on track. In fact, a study showed that talking with your independent Optavia coach more often may help you lose twice as much weight^#.

What’s more, you can also connect with others by partaking in regular meetings and joining Optavia’s community groups on Facebook. This provides you with ready access to a community of like-minded people on a similar journey, and who can offer you real-time support.

Persistence is often the most difficult part of losing weight, and support from your peers engaging in a similar experience can help you feel more motivated to stay the course – especially when the going gets tough.

The road to better weight management and transforming your health may be a long one, but it doesn’t have to be a struggle. With Optavia’s exciting slate of food choices, focus on instilling healthy habits and built-in support system, you can take charge of your health and build sustainable and holistic wellness habits that will last you for a lifetime.
