Maintaining Your Healthy Weight

Medifast's comprehensive, structured Maintenance plan will help you maintain a healthy weight and keep what you've worked so hard to achieve.

Some highlights:

The 3 & 3 Plan

Three and three equals six, and that's how many times you'll continue to eat each day. (If you've lost weight on the Medifast 5 & 1 Plan, this routine will be familiar to you!)

One "3" refers to your three daily meals, which feature lean protein and vegetables.

The other "3" is your three daily "fuelings." Fuelings are low-calorie mini-meals incorporating a range of healthy foods and delicious flavors, including Medifast Meals and combinations of healthy ingredients you can buy at your produce market or grocer.

In addition to lean protein, healthy fats, and all vegetables, you'll be able to enjoy the fruit, low-fat dairy foods, and whole-grain starches that you re-introduced during the Transition phase. You'll continue to avoid fried, sugary, greasy, creamy, and calorie-rich foods.

Knowing (and using) your numbers

It's simple math: Eating more calories than your body needs will cause you to gain weight; eating fewer calories will cause you to lose weight.

Learn how to determine your body's caloric needs in our Maintenance Guide, and use this number as a guide for your daily eating plan.

Tips for successful weight maintenance

Regular physical activity helps you burn calories, strengthens your body, and helps keep your metabolism active.

By building on your current daily activities and developing a well-rounded fitness program, you'll have the best chance of maintaining your new healthy weight - while enjoying other health benefits too!

Behavior techniques can help you pay attention to what you're eating and - more important - how you're feeling and what you're thinking.

In our Maintenance Guide, you will learn to anticipate and manage cravings, stay accountable, manage stress, and cultivate the healthy habits you need for long-term success.
