Obesity is a medical problem, and it should be treated like one. Medifast was created in 1980 by William Vitale, M.D. His products were sold directly to doctors, who in turn prescribed them to their patients.

Medifast isn’t a pill or a quick fix; it’s a nutrition plan that works. Medifast Meals are fortified with vitamins and nutrients, so you can lose pounds and inches without losing out on essential nutrition.

Throughout the company’s long history, 30,000 physicians have prescribed or recommended Medifast, and over a million customers have used Medifast to lose weight quickly and safely.

Because the products do not cause blood sugar spikes, they can work for anyone, even those with Type 2 diabetes.
