In this episode, we dove into the topic of OPTAVIA, a diet program based around a multi-level marketing business model. We explained the basics of the program, why some people find success, and why it’s likely not the best approach for most people. We also discussed some of the potential issues related to OPTAVIA’s health coaches, as well as the ways that diet plans like this can negatively impact your mindset and relationship with food.
