Medifast is a low calorie diet that will bring fast weight loss, such as 2-5 pounds per week.
The most famous is the 5-in-1 Plan. It consists of 5 meal replacements per day, generally shakes, and also oatmeal, bars, soups, and puddings. Daily caloric consumption is between 800-1,000 calories per day. Medifast recommends the supervision of a physician while on this plan. You eat every 2-3 hours, and must drink a minimum of 64oz of water per day.
Shakes are the most popular items, which are made up of differing proportions of protein. This program is mostly used by the very overweight (BMI = 30+), will only suit some people and having a partnership with a doctor will be beneficial.
Maintenance Plan
Once the targeted weight is achieved, the plan contains a gradual transition back to "normal" meals for a period of 16 days. Also, Medifast recommends 1-3 Medifast meals daily and a moderately intense workout routine of 30-45 minutes 5 days per week.
