The Truth About Optavia — Optavia Diet Review from a Dietitian

Описание: Let’s agree right here & now that we’ll all JUST SAY NO to Optavia⁉️🤬‼️

I cover all the major red flags of this extremely restrictive weight-loss diet in the form of an MLM, but quick recap:

👎800-1000 cal / day = actual insanity (aka, starvation)
👎 Fuelings are NOT food. In fact, that’s not even a word…
👎 …but it IS a dietary supplement, meaning there’s minimal oversight and no evaluation of safety & efficacy by the FDA…so there’s that.
👎A weight-loss MLM?!? 😱🥴

🔥HARD. PASS.🔥
