Side Effects:

• OPTIFAST VLCD is accepted as being a safe form of weight loss with only minor, transient side effects being observed.
• These side effects are a result of the rapid weight loss and Ketosis and may include:
• sensitivity to cold, halitosis (bad breath), headache, hair loss, irritability,
• postural hypotension, fatigue, muscle cramps and menstrual disturbances.
• These side effects are generally insufficient in magnitude or duration to warrant cessation of the program.
• As with any major dietary adjustment, the first few days on the OPTIFAST VLCD Program can be difficult and are commonly known as the ‘3 Day Challenge’.
• As the body transitions into ketosis, you may experience some transient side effects
• such as fatigue, hunger, lack of concentration, nausea and headaches.
• Typically, only mild ketosis occurs during the OPTIFAST VLCD Program and most symptoms pass by in 4-6 days.
