Optavia: What you need to know before starting.

Hi there! I'm Lana McCarthy, a Registered and licensed Dietitian with a Masters in Human Nutrition. Most likely you've arrived here because Optavia has been all up in your ad space. Maybe you're interested because you've heard that it's the "new" diet recommended by doctors and dietitians, backed by science, and that will teach you to keep the weight off forever! So their marketing claims. Stick around and find out if any of their claims are true, the dark and murky history of the company, and if it's worth your money!
