Product & Plan FAQsTransition and Maintenance
- How do I go off the program?
Once you’ve reached your goal weight, or you haven’t lost any weight in the last 4 weeks, you should begin the Transition Plan. The Transition Plan gradually adds calories back into your diet while giving your body appropriate time to adjust to the new levels of calories and carbohydrates.
- Can I use Medifast products as part of my weight Maintenance Plan?
Yes, we encourage continued use of Medifast Meals so you don't re-gain the weight you lost. In fact, most people use 2-3 Medifast Meals per day as part of their ongoing Maintenance Plan. You may also use a Medifast Meal as a protein source in your regular meal, adding other foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains or a salad to maintain a healthy nutritional balance.
Our Momentum by Medifast line of products was specifically designed to assist with weight maintenance as it boosts your metabolism to prevent weight re-gain.
