The Optavia Diet facilitates weight loss and management. It follows the guidelines issued by the American College of Cardiology, the Obesity Society and the American Heart Association for weight loss and management. On the Optavia diet, dieters lose weight through pairing fuelings (prepackaged products purchased from Optavia) and self prepared meals. The self prepared meals must follow the strict guidelines of the Lean and Green plan. This can be overwhelming for many. So, OptimizeU offers Lean and Green meals made to the exact specifications of the Lean and Green protocol. So, we do the work and you lose the weight.
