The Medifast Difference

Anyone who's tried to lose weight knows that there are hundreds of diets and weight-loss plans in today's marketplace. What makes Medifast different?

Medifast is:

FAST
The Medifast 5 & 1 Plan is clinically proven to get excess, unhealthy weight off your body quickly. In fact, on the Medifast 5 & 1 Plan, you'll lose up to 2 to 5 lbs a week. When you follow the Medifast 5 & 1 Plan as directed, your body adjusts to the fat-burning state within days. You'll find that your five Medifast Meals and one Lean & Green Meal (a serving of lean protein plus non-starchy vegetables) are keeping you full and comfortable as you watch unhealthy weight melt away. Once you've reached your goal weight, comprehensive Transition and Maintenance plans make sure you can enjoy your new, healthier self for months, years - or forever.

SAFE
Medifast has been recommended by over 20,000 doctors since 1980. 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 nutrient-dense and fortified with vitamins and minerals, so you can lose pounds and inches without losing out on essential nutrition. Throughout the company's long history, Medifast has been recommended by over 20,000 doctors and used by over a million customers. And Medifast's low-glycemic index formula can work for anyone, even those with type 2 diabetes.
