Plan Overview

Our plan, your future.

Weight loss doesn't happen overnight. But it can happen quickly and safely with Medifast. And we've made it sustainable, too, with our three-phase program that helps you adopt healthy eating habits for a lifetime.

Weight Loss Phase

Our 5 & 1 Plan features Medifast's nutritionally balanced, fortified meal replacements and a Lean & Green Meal. They keep you nourished—and satisfied—so you lose weight quickly and safely.

Transition Phase

When you are near or at your goal weight, we'll help you increase your daily calories by adding a wider variety—and more portions—of lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy.

Maintenance Phase

When you've completed the transition phase, we'll help you calculate your daily caloric needs and build a maintenance plan based on your height, weight, age, gender, and activity level—so you stay fit for life.

The Medifast Meal

Five times a day, you'll eat a Medifast Meal. These are nutrient-dense, low-fat, low-calorie, low-glycemic meal replacements that help you lose weight by promoting a mild fat-burning state and limiting your calories. You?ll lose fat while preserving more lean muscle mass. And since you will be eating a Meal every two to three hours, you will feel satisfied all day!

One of my friends was using Medifast and told me it was working for him, so I decided to give it a try. If I hadn't, I would be 400 lbs right now.
