Medical Monitoring

• Do Medifast users require medical supervision while on the program?
  You should consult with your physician or qualified medical practitioner prior to beginning (and throughout the course of) any weight loss program. We strongly recommend that you participate in the program under your physician’s supervision if you:

  • are over the age of 70
  • are under the age of 18
  • have diabetes, hypertension or any other serious medical condition
  • are taking medications, especially for diabetes
  
  
  
• Are there any special guidelines for Medifast customers over age 70?
  If you are over age 70, this program should be done with your physician’s supervision. Your physician may recommend a higher caloric intake based on your individual needs. Dosages of medications may need to be adjusted, and labs and vital signs may need to be monitored. For more information, please refer to the Medifast Senior Guide.
