I do not sell Optavia, but do believe in it, the diet keeps you eating a healthy balance and my Dr. said the blood work looks great,,,not defending the diet but I think its easy to hear one thing from one person and believe it to be 'absolutely'. again I didn't follow it perfectly but loved the resultsl
My "coaches" hemmed and hawed like Congressmen when I wanted to discuss it seriously, finally said they do not recommend it, and finally agreed it could be done for less than 45 minutes per day, with added nutrients to compensate. What amount of what nutrient? Crickets. Risk of over compensation? Loss of ketosis. Risk of under compensation? same. Rationale, technical research, papers from authoritative sources? Case histories? Crickets on all. I don't want to be eating and risking losing my muscle tone, bone density, and strength, without knowing authoritative nutrition and sports nutrition experts have conducted research and analysis, over the 20 years of the Optavia plan's existence, to support questions like mine. The Website FAQ's contain no questions about risks related to exercise.
