Get to Know Medifast


You may have heard some of the amazing success stories of people who have lost weight using the Medifast program. You may be wondering if it can work for you and, if so, what exactly it is and how it works. Here is how it works:

Medifast is a meal replacement program developed by physicians for a variety of people-women, men, diabetics, etc. The plan is based on the premise that health and weight are inextricably connected; losing excess weight is only one aspect of the program. Achieving a healthier lifestyle is the ultimate goal. As such, the meals that are included are perfectly portioned and packed with critical nutrients to give you the energy you need in the most efficient and calorie conscious fashion. The 5 & 1 meal plan includes a variety of nutritious meals, shakes, snacks and drinks that not only help you lose weight but retrain your metabolism and your brain to want healthy foods in the right amounts.

When you sign up to start receiving the Medifast program meal replacements, you will receive four weeks worth of food at a time. You can register online, browse through the program’s delicious selections, order what you like and have it delivered to your home. The 5 daily meals you will consume consist of bars, shakes and the Medifast prepared meals that you can order; your 1 “lean and green” meal per day is a high protein, vegetable packed meal that Medifast will teach you how to prepare. You will receive detailed guides about what you should eat when, as well as tips on how to maximize the plan’s effectiveness. In addition, you will also be matched with a personal diet consultant with whom you can discuss your struggles and successes.

Not only does the Medifast program make losing weight and obtaining lasting health benefits convenient and easy, it teaches you in a way that no other diet program does; by giving you perfectly portioned meals and showing you how to cook one of those meals yourself each day, you can educate and retrain yourself. The Medifast program is the best way to lose the weight and learn what the right foods are, how much the right amount is, and when you should eat them to not only lose weight but maintain a healthier lifestyle.
