Using the Medifast Diet? Medifast Diets are
meal replacement programs that helps most people lose weight
faster than traditional food-based diet plans. Medifast products
come in individual packets that you mix with water to create a
"shake" similar to an instant breakfast drink. Medifast is
available in a wide variety of flavors as well as several
alternate choices including protein bars, creamy soups, chili,
oatmeal and hot cocoa. Medifast Diets help you to lose weight.
How does Medifast work? The clinically proven results of
Medifast are based on the use of a defined formula diet. The
program was carefully designed to create a gap between the
calories you take in and the amount your body needs. Each
nutritionally balanced meal replacement is formulated with a
proven combination of carbohydrates and protein to allow you to
successfully lose weight without losing muscle.
How fast do you lose? Women average 2 to 4 pounds a week, men
slightly faster (up to five pounds a week or more). Medifast low
calorie diets require medical monitoring to minimize the
potential for health risks.
Is it safe? Medifast programs have been recommended by over
15,000 physicians and used by over one million customers.
Medifast has been providing a clinically proven approach to
weight loss and nutrition for over 20 years.
Medifast is offered direct to the public. This makes it
available to people of all sizes, not just the very obese or
health-challenged patient. While the Medifast program still
recommends physician involvement, the products are offered by
"Health Advisors", who are expected to provide ongoing support,
encouragement, and information to the clients. Health advisors
are offered training opportunities to enable them to assist
clients with long-term lifestyle changes, as well as short-term
diet goals. Food can be ordered online, and there is a medical
hotline number available to answer questions about being on the
Medifast food plans. It is also not an exclusively liquid diet.
It includes bars, chili, oatmeal, and crackers in addition to
shakes and soups. To get started with the Medifast Program,
