Success Stories

How It Works

The Kaiser Permanente Medical Weight Management Program lasts 30 weeks with continued group support for an additional 52 weeks. The program is divided into three phases, each designed to improve your health and help you continue your weight loss. Our team of medical and weight loss professionals will be with you each step on the way to help you achieve the lasting changes you want.

Phase 1:

Active Weight Loss

  • Replace your usual diet with OPTIFAST® and Robard meal replacement products.
  • Undergo periodic medical checkups and lab tests to monitor your program participation and progress.
  • Attend weekly online sessions with a consistent group of peers where you’ll learn how to maintain your new healthier weight. These group sessions are typically offered in the evenings for your convenience and are led by experienced educators dedicated to helping you reach your goals.

Phase 2:

Transitions and Early Maintenance

  • Add self-prepared foods back into your diet with the support of nutritional counseling at your weekly group lifestyle education sessions.

Phase 3:

Long-Term Maintenance

  • Expanded diet of self-prepared foods (supplemented with OPTIFAST® and Robard products if desired).
  • Continued diet and lifestyle support through weekly sessions with your group and facilitator.
