Welcome to our channel!
We’re sisters & best friends on a mission to help women finally escape the seemingly endless cycle of yo-yo dieting.
After years of jumping from one fad diet to the next, we finally discovered the path to creating lasting results without extreme restriction or endless hours of cardio.
But our transformation was more than just physical. It up-leveled our health, our relationships, our careers, and even our finances. We felt strong, and capable of achieving anything. We felt confident and ready to take on the world.
Our transformation was so fundamentally life-changing that we made it our responsibility to share our knowledge with as many women as possible and give them the tools and education they need to create a healthy, powerful life.
Since then, we have helped hundreds of women lose fat, create a better relationship with food, regain their confidence, and form a new identity they never thought possible.
If you're looking to lose those last 15 pounds, we'll show you exactly what to do if you're wanting to lose those last few pounds of stubborn fat.
In this review, we'll be taking a look at Optavia Lean & Green Meals, as well as Optavia Fuelings. We'll give you our honest opinion on each product, and whether we think it's worth buying.

#optavia #weightloss #optaviajourney
I lost 58lbs on Optavia. It is very structured and should only be used as a tool and temporarily. I lost weight in 3 months and it comes off quick. However, this is in no way a long term program. You have to wisely use your weight loss to Segway into healthy eating. This program was a kick start to continue on my health journey. I have maintained my weight loss but, your review is great and honest in the respect of not using this long term. I still have the bars and brownies but have replaced my other meals with good nutrition and exercise. I think the problem is the program gets abused and people stay on it for years instead of learning healthy habits and that is likely the cause of hair loss and poor health.
I keep seeing the optavia people in my circle promoting going back onto plan after going through a phase of eating a little more than they usually would and gaining weight back. Or they advertise that they gained a few pounds over a weekend because they splurge during someone's birthday. As someone who has had an ED, obsessing over a few pounds of weight gain after a weekend seems dangerous. I'm thankful if there are people who have been able to learn healthy habits but it seems like a lot of people do not.
I wish I would’ve done deeper research before I signed up and I only did it because my friend that reached out to me and I thought well I’ll try it just to support her. So I am only in two weeks middle of my second week actually and I’ve already decided that this plan is ridiculous Everything that you guys are pointing out is so true and I very graciously emailed her my coach and explain to her that this was not for me. It wasn’t a healthy way to lose weight. Her reply back was this is actually one of the most healthy ways to lose weight. You’re getting vitamins and minerals in every fueling and it’s regulating your blood sugars, she also pointed out that doctors approve of this plan. She sent me some articles on the clean ingredients in these products but for me it’s all processed lotta soy, lotta fillers, lotta sugar. And yes I’ve lost weight here. I am on the middle of my second week and I’m down 10.8 pounds. I’m not excited about it because I’m basically starving myself so yes I am losing weight because I’m not eating. I am going to slowly transition off of this plan Into something that’s healthier and real using real food not engineered in a lab. I think it’s kind of funny some of the things they tell you not to eat but yet the fueling‘s are simulated versions like mashed potatoes, and one of the soups actually has a few peas and some flex of carrots in them. I think that’s kind of funny.
I can’t believe I almost tried this program but had seen a JSMA post on Facebook and decided I’d try this first because I really didn’t want to eat prepackaged food. I want to eat normal food. I’m so glad my gut said to go with you guys first💕
We’re so happy you made the right choice ❤
When you move off plan you can have fruits and grains and other food... They have a book that explains the things you are questioning. How can it not be used to teach your kids that you might be overweight but you are looking to get healthy by teaching your kids healthy food options that you are cooking for them.
This isn't a quick an easy plan I'm on it and losing @2-3 lbs a week... and I've been taken off meds etc...
I was also never told not to exercise... In fact I was encouraged to do what I could I'm restricted by other issues at the moment... I've not had hair loss or anything else mentioned...
How long have you been on optavia for?
Thank You for this very informative video. I was on optavia twice, the first time I was on it in 2021, I lost 90 pounds in 9 months- looked and felt great.I stopped using it without the proper education on how to sustain my weight...and guest what 80 of the 90 pounds came back. Fast forward to 2023 I tried it again, and i am 50 lbs down.I have started doing research what i need to eat on order to loose weight because they never expressed the importance of protien...they just said "get on the 5&1 plan and you will loose weight".I have done research on the many many sources of protien that i can have and it doesn't have to come from a shake or a bar...the next 50 or 60 lbs that loose is going to be done the healthier way...thanks again.
We are happy this helped you if you have any questions let us know!
Began this last April (2022). Very s-l-o-w weightloss...lost 25 pounds. Got covid and it came to a screeching halt. Gained it all back and am now at my heaviest ever (220). AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!!!
So sorry to hear that. Have you found something that works for you now?
I did OPTAVIA as a desperate attempt to shed some weight. I wasn't sure at first because it sounded and looked like a program for women primarily, but i bought in. I went from 294 to 254 in about 3 months, probably a little less. I was floating for another 2 months and finally stopped doing the program 100%. I would have weekly arguements with my coach at how bad the ingredients were, when I could workout again, when could I increase my protein, and when could i start taking normal vitamins/supplements...cause apparently fresh air affected the program. It did allow me to shed a lot of "dangerous" weight, but now I'm trying to build a better diet protocol and workout plan so I can maintain and start to lose some more weight...but the program does what it says, you lose weight, but the "price" is high both in your wallet and the last effects on your body.
you said it, the price is high both in your wallet and the effects on your body, what were your thoughts when you were arguing with your coach?
@@luminu_official that it was all about pushing the product, not acknowledging the obvious nutrients points, not disclosing how the program progresses so you can get off it
Ugh. Optavia survivor here. 🙋🏻♀️ Can’t believe I thought it was in anyway a healthy option for losing weight. So happy to have found JMSA!
we're happy you found us too!
I so wish I could say I never fell for this and found JMSA first however I didn’t 😓 I lost over 100lbs with OPTIVIA and have gained 50 back thus far. I came out the other side of this diet so mentally messed up that I’m still scared to eat fruit.. I haven’t touched watermelon in 2 years because I was told it’s sooo bad for you. I actually began binge eating like crazy for a period of time because my body was soo deprived 😭 I keep reminding myself that this is just part of my journey ❤️
Crazy!! So sad, but you’re in a good place with us now ❤
@@luminu_official SO thankful to have found you girls and looking forward to starting on my 1:1 coaching journey sooon 🔥🙌🏻
@@amandamarsh9788 so excited for you! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Optavia is great. The 5+1 is the plan to lose weight and then you move to the maintenance plan. It's a tool. I agree it's not long term - but take that time to learn and change your eating habits. I lost 55 pounds with Optavia and eventually switched to preparing all my own nutritious/healthy meals to maintain it. I did not gain it back.
Update: I've lost 65 pounds total by continuing to eat healthy. Optavia was a tool to reach my goal that I no longer need. I even added a cheat meal per week a couple of months back. No issues with weight gain.
You could also work with a nutritionist, eat a healthy number of calories that isn’t starvation level and lose weight.
@@TwoSistersAndSomeYarn - That's very true. There are many ways to lose weight. Ultimately, the best long term is to learn proper nutrition and eat accordingly - but most people are too lazy for that.
People are lazy so they should do a starvation fad plan that uses predatory practices?? That’s a ludicrous argument. Bottom line is the “plan” works because you starve your body. Lazy or not, it’s not a healthy way to lose weight. You are a RARITY in the Optavia world if you have kept it off and no longer use the products. And one could get to the same spot without Optavia if they sought proper help.
@@worlock27wow. Judgmental. Sounds just like the optaiva people I've encountered
@@gumbodance - There is/was no judgment in my comment - merely information based on my experience.
I did Optavia. Lost 30 lbs and I really didn’t even need to lose weight. I did it with my husband. I got so skinny that it brought back my obsession with being thin and “perfect”. I have since gained it all back but I’m happier now. I’m no longer obsessed with having the perfect size 2 body.
All of the coaches I know are constantly going back “on plan” so that screams unsustainable results but they are a cult and keep pushing it.
so glad you're off of it and doing better with everything now
i just started and oh every one of the foods tastes like cardboard it’s horrible i don’t know how to get past it
So happy this wasn't out a 5 years ago..I would have tried it. Thanks for the video!
thanks for watching!
I tried this one and the headaches were awful. I was told to just keep pushing. I was SO hungry. “Go eat a pickle or cheese stick”. And “small meal” was stretching it for a snack
So sad!!
You should really consult a trained health coach who was successful and now is coaching others. You are misleading information without doing your research into the program. If followed properly the plan does work successfully.
The majority of Optavia coaches have absolutely zero certifications and it’s dangerous to be coached by people who have zero nutritional background
You did not be putting down this program that has helped many many people. I was 64 pounds nine years ago and I’ve kept it off all nine years.
And it’s harmed other people. The amount of money you’ve been spending, you could purchase healthy foods and get a dietician.
@@TwoSistersAndSomeYarn Definitely it is harmed the people that cannot tolerate the product. I know there are many people that have issues with the food. On the other hand, there are equally amount of people that I’ve had great success and give them their life back so I think to trash the entire program is just simply wrong. Let people live and make their own decisions on what works for them best. Just because it may not work for you or you feel it’s not good leave it to the individual to make that choice for themselves and trust. They are smart enough to do the research.
@@sandrareo5221 everyone should do what’s best for them. Doesn’t mean I won’t speak up about it. The products are not nutritionally sound, the entire organization is predatory and harmful. I won’t be quiet about that.
That’s just not true at all. It is not a healthy diet for anyone. We’re happy for you that you’ve had success with your weight loss, but the diet itself is not healthy nor sustainable
@@luminu_official i have maintained a 60 lb loss for over a year now.....yall seriously need to do more research and learn how to educate yourselves properly!!! Don't be lying to people just to get them to come to your program....that's childish!!!
Over all the years I’ve been learning to eat well, sustainability is the priority for me!
Yes! Proud of you!
Would never try Optavia! Thanks for this!
Thank you for watching!
I tried Profile by Sanford with not very good results and not much encouragement. Have you hear of this?
No! Never heard of that one
Ooof! Thank Goodness of all the crazy things I have tried , I didn’t dive into that one. Love real food!!
You dodged it!!
I've lost 36 lbs in 6 weeks on this program! I have energy to spare and have never been hungry! You're just pissed because it puts you out of business!
Absolutely not pissed at all! Happy you found something that works!
Wow! Thank you so much for the great information about that Optavia Diet - it is as bad as the HCG diet!
yes!! so unhealthy!
I know so many people doing this, sure ya have results but ya don’t eat. Insane
Exactly!
We eat 6 times a freaking day for fucks sake!!! Quit spreading misinformation!!!
This diet needs to be exposed (and honestly probably sued). I did it for a few months. The “meals” are like dirt, so processed. And the 1 actual meal is not nearly enough. It so low calorie the coaches tell you not to work out because they know how tired you are! Plus it’s almost impossible to eat near others. It’s essentially starvation eating disorder 101 and wildly expensive. I nicknamed it to my friends as “Expensive Anorexia.”
Yup! Thank you for sharing that! It is an insane diet.
Your bashing this program but giving no good option. I'm not on it but hate when someone tears someone or something down with no solution. You two obviously don't need to lose weight so you don't understand what a issue it may be for someone. I'm 5'9 172 never had a weight problem. But knowing someone who does its a issue in many different ways. Think about it !
I think if you spent any time understanding what we do and teach you would never have left a comment like that. Also, do you research before you tell people that they don't understand what it's like to have a weight problem. We both struggled our entire lives to lose weight. And when we finally DID learn how to do it the right way, we started our business to reach out and help other women who are struggling.
I've done optivia and what they are talking about is 1000% Accurate. I'm former military and and sometimes hearing someone put it as these 2 ladies put it is what I need. My wife and I lost over 150 lbs combined in 6mos. I lost 74 and she lost 53. We learned alot about our relationship with food and how to eat more healthy while on it. But as soon as we came off optivia because it's really expensive, +$450/mo (x2 btw). The weight came back with vengeance. We are very physically active, strong minded and dedicated to it. I gained back +30lbs and I look bigger than when I first started optivia. Also, mentally, when you see the scale going in the wrong direction, you WILL become desperate and look for anything to get the scale to get back down. We took the shortcut and now we're having to find a better option. Whe you leave the program and your body no longer gets those fuelings it was used to and you substitute...here comes the weight gain...violently. So coming from someone with a weight problem...me...understand when you have settled on just being huge and no hope in sight. The plans that actually work make you desperate and will depress you when it fails. Be kind.
@jmstrengthacademy do you only help women. My wife and I did optivia together, succeeded together and failed together😂😂😢😢
I think they said several times to just eat healthy and figure out how to eat healthy long term. It’s a lifestyle change to keep weight off long term not a quick fix
How is that even sustainable. That’s crazy.
Right!!
$500 for first (and last) month of "foods" and "plan"- got a refund- MLM at its finest
did you do it?
I didn’t like OPTAVIA, I regretted. 😢
😣😣
So what’s the solution???? How does one learn the “right way”? You’re not giving any solutions, find “something else” ?? What the heck.
Get a dietitian, a trainer and learn.
That's the whole problem! Every dietitian and trainer has a million ways to do something the "right way". We all know that already. People have tried dietitians and trainers, there's a million UA-cam videos made by them and very rarely do they say the same things, they sometimes even totally contradict one another. People want to know what the truth is about weight loss, proper diet/nutrition, and exercise. @@TwoSistersAndSomeYarn
@@johnnyitticheria915 but that’s not one size fits all. The simple answer is eat better and move more but each person has their own genes, hormones, health conditions etc to deal with. That’s why you seek a RD and trainers who know what they’re doing instead of paid to be “health coach’s”
Have you spent any time going through our videos, we give plenty of solutions
What in the world? Who let you out of the mental institute? Are you even real? There's no solutions on this video, it's not helpful. @@EF-lb3os
👍
thank you for watching!
Then what diet are these two on?
We don't do diets, and we are trying to breakdown the toxic diet culture many women are stuck in. We’re about creating a full-circle transformation that’s more than just physical.
@@luminu_official y’all look healthy tho whats your eating plan
The messages to kids from this is absolutely herendous!!!
Exactly!
All these "diets" out there scare me. Glad I never tried most of them😮
Right!?
So what plan do you suggest as an alternative?
15:46 - they don’t seem to be suggesting any specific “plan”, just encouraging educating ourselves on healthier ways to live long-term.
