Optislim Soups

Popular diets in Europe and Australia have in recent years been drawing attention and curiosity from Americans who are growing tired of the same old diets, pills and “miracle” solutions that never produce the promised results.

Optislim, a company based in Australia, is one of these companies that have recently gained some media attention and the VLCD Meal Replacement Program is their primary weight loss program. Can this Australian based company offer something new and exciting to get American dieters going again, or will they flop like so many companies before them?

What is an Optislim VLCD Meal Replacement Program?

The Optislim Program uses VLCD (Very Low Calorie Diet) soups and shakes during their multi-week program to help users achieve their weight loss goals.

Step1: Accelerated Weight Loss throws dieters right off of that weight loss ledge without wasting any time. Step one starts right off by replacing all 3 meals each day with the VLCD Soups (or shakes to mix up the routine).

Step 2: Rapid Weight Loss backs off slightly. During this phase of the weight loss program you will only be replacing two meals a day with the VLCD soups or shakes. For the third meal you should either purchase an Optislim HealthyOption Meal to supplement your VLCD products or make a third healthy meal on your own.

Step 3: Balanced Weight Loss is for those who have reached their goal weight and wish to work on maintenance and upkeep. Step three suggests using one VLCD Meal Replacement Product each day, along with maintaining a healthy and balanced meal plan for other meals and snacks.

Soups are available during all three steps of the program and are come in the hearty flavors of tomato, pumpkin, and creamy chicken. Each step should be balanced with proper water intake and a healthy exercise plan as well.

A Promise, Unfulfilled

Optislim promises throughout their program that in each VLCD product you will be provided with 25 essential daily vitamins and minerals to help keep your body in tip top shape while you are dropping these pounds.

However, in addition to having no clinical studies to prove the effectiveness of these ingredients, the actual ingredient list cannot be found anywhere on the website. They also do not provide fiber in any of their VLCD products, so you must purchase it additionally, either from theirs or a third party website.

In Conclusion

Optislim has mixed up the weight loss genre, but not in a good way. Yes, of course you will lose weight when you are starving yourself by eating less than 800 calories a day, but with no proof of additional support of any kind we believe there are much better options on the market. We recommend staying away from Optislim VLCD Meal Replacement Products.
