Medifast Meals are nutritionally portioned, calorie- and carbohydrate-controlled, low-fat meal replacements. Every one of them is based on a similar nutritional “footprint” that provides just the right balance of protein, carbohydrates and fiber. And they’re fortified with a minimum of 24 vitamins and minerals for optimal nutrition.
You will enjoy a combination of your own meals and Medifast’s nutritionally balanced meal replacements everyday during your weight loss phase. Medifast Meals are formulated to be filling and satisfying. This puts your body into a mild fat-burning state. The meals go with you anywhere, so the plan works with even the busiest lifestyles. Medifast clients can expect to lose 2-5 lbs the first two weeks and 1-2 lbs per week thereafter.
Once you reach your goal weight your Certified Weight Loss Consultant will transition you off the Medifast meal replacements and back to your own meals. Our ultimate goal is to teach you how to make healthy choices for the rest of your life.
The Plan
During your weight loss phase of the Medifast Program, you will enjoy a combination of your own foods and nutritionally balanced Medifast meals. This combination will optimize your weight loss and allow you to continue to enjoy meals with family and friends. The Medifast customized plans will help you reach you ultimate weight loss goal.
