Medifast is a portion-controlled, low-calorie weight
loss program that helps you lose weight faster and more effectively than traditional
diets. The clinically proven, easy-to-follow Medifast 5 & 1 Plan helps your body burn
fat and lose weight quickly. There is no calorie counting, no points system, no diet pills
and best of all – no confusion!
Remember, Medifast is a lifestyle change, not just a short-term weight
loss solution. We won’t abandon you the way fad diets have in the past. Our
Transition, Maintenance and Exercise Plans pick up where the 5 & 1 Plan ends –
and teach you how to sustain your weight loss results long term!
5 & 1 Plan
With the Medifast 5 & 1 Plan, you eat 6 meals a day: 5 Medifast Meals
and 1 Lean & Green Meal. You can choose any 5 Medifast Meals including shakes, bars,
soups, pudding, oatmeal, scrambled eggs and more. With over 60 Medifast Meals to choose
from, your menu will never lack variety! Your daily Lean & Green Meal consists of a
balance of lean protein (such as beef, chicken or fish) and salad or vegetables.
With Medifast you eat every 2 to 3 hours, so you won't get hungry. The
quick weight loss results you experience will inspire and motivate you to embrace Medifast
as an essential part of your new, healthy lifestyle. Complete 5 & 1 Plan information
is available for free in the Medifast Quick Start Guide, included with every Medifast
order. Click here to read more about the 5
& 1 Plan.
Transition
You begin Transition after you have reached your goal weight. Transition
reintroduces you to foods you previously put on hold – foods such as fruits, low-fat
dairy products, whole grains and higher-carbohydrate vegetables. Transition gradually adds
calories back into your diet, while giving your body the appropriate time it needs to
adjust to the new levels of calories and carbohydrates. The 5 & 1 Plan helped you
develop healthful eating habits, such as portion-control and eating 6 times per day.
Transition and Maintenance reinforce these patterns of healthy eating to help you maintain
your weight loss results. Click here to read

Maintenance
In Maintenance, you learn how to sustain your weight loss results by making healthy food
choices and living an active lifestyle. The ultimate goal of Maintenance is to help you
remain at a healthy weight for the rest of your life. The actual number of calories needed
to maintain a stable weight long-term is individual – you may need to experiment with
different calorie levels during Maintenance to find the level that's right for you.
