Medifast

Medifast is a diet plan that has been in existence for over 25 years and has been used by over one million people worldwide. Medifast is recommended by physicians for people who are extremely overweight, as well as for those with other health considerations such as diabetes, cancer, phlebitis, and bulimia. The original, basic Medifast program, under direct medical supervision, is now a healthy low calorie weight loss program that is available to everyone.

The Medifast online diet program, "Take Shape for Life," consists of healthy low calorie meal replacements and suggested diet plans that have been medically approved. Prepackaged Medifast meals and drinks, including sample and variety packages, shakes, breakfast bars, cereals, pudding, and soups, can be ordered online. Special meals with diabetic and sports energy nutrition in mind can be requested, as well. Medifast diet choices are carefully prepared before shipment and each provides the necessary combination of carbohydrates, protein, vitamins, and minerals for healthy weight loss. The Medifast program recommends five meals a day, consisting of lean meat, poultry, or fish, and raw or cooked vegetables, or salad. Low fat salad dressings, ketchup, mustard, and barbeque sauce may be added.

Dedicated health counselors provide encouragement and support, assisting in meeting short-term weight loss goals and developing good long-term eating habits. People who follow the Medifast weight loss program lose an average of two to five pounds per week. There are no diet pills to take and no meals to skip; Medifast is a safe and effective plan for managing your weight.
