Using meal replacements will help you increase your accuracy of calorie control, reduce food decisions, and ensure you are meeting your nutritional needs. In the LEAF ROOT program, up to a maximum of two Optifast®900 (or another type) meal replacements may be used in a day. For example, you might choose to have a shake for breakfast and nutritious food choices for lunch and supper.

You will have 24/7 access both online and via the app so you can plan, shop, and prepare healthy, delicious meals that meet your needs and tastes.
