Daily, the magazine "U.S. News" publishes a ranking of the nutritional plans available in the market. For years, the Mediterranean, DASH, and Flexi diets have been regarded as the best. Their effectiveness has been confirmed by numerous researchers, and the number of supporters continues to grow. Nevertheless, there could be no list of nutritional plans that were definitely less beneficial to health, but are applied due to the promises of the creators about fast results. One of the last positions in the ranking (21. out of 24) is occupied by the Optavia nutritional plan, which has not yet gained much popularity in Poland, but has made a significant impact in the United States. According to the magazine "U.S. News", it receives a rating of 1.8/5, while the Mediterranean diet has achieved a score of 4.6/5.
The Optavia Nutritional Program – what exactly is it?
The Optavia Diet is a nutritional program developed by Medifast Inc. in 2017. Its goal is to help individuals develop healthy eating habits and maintain them long-term. The program comprises four elements: pre-made meals, individual coaching, a community, and a system that encourages healthy habits. Participants who wish to lose weight receive pre-made meals from the company, as well as individual support and guidance from a private coach. Furthermore, they can join the community, which is a type of support group where they can share their experiences and help each other achieve their goals. However, not everyone is convinced of the program's effectiveness, despite it sounding interesting. Some argue that the diet is too restrictive and that the pre-made meals are not sufficient for those with a more active lifestyle.
