Medifast delivers low-calorie meals to your home either bi-weekly or monthly. A month's worth of food costs approximately $300. The Medifast program has been used since the 1980s. Medifast asserts that those on program lose 2 to 5 lbs. each week while on the plan. Those on the Medifast plan gain access to the online Medifast community for support and other helpful tools.
Types
Medifast offers three plans, including one tailored for women, one tailored for men and one for diabetics. Each plan may include food items such as shakes, pudding, oatmeal, bars, brownies, ice cream, soups, eggs, pancakes, pretzels, cheese puffs and drinks. Those on the plan eat five small Medifast meals each day along with one homemade meal containing green vegetables and lean meat.
Features
Medifast meals contain fiber and low-fat protein to help dieters feel fuller with less food. Medifast fortifies all food items with nutrients and vitamins. Medifast dieters have the option to purchase additional dietary supplements if desired.
Considerations
Anyone can order Medifast meals from the company's Take Shape for Life website. However, some people choose to locate a local Medifast coach who will help them plan their diet and order their food. All Medifast coaches have also used the Medifast program to lose weight.
