The Medifast Plan
The Science Behind Medifast
Medifast has been recommended by over 20,000 doctors and used by over one
million customers since 1980. Medifast programs and products were developed
by a physician and have been clinically proven in numerous studies conducted
by major university teaching hospitals. Additionally, third-party studies
published in leading medical journals have deemed meal replacements an effective
means of weight loss and weight maintenance.
Medifast Meals are nutritionally complete, low-calorie, and low-fat - providing
everything your patients; bodies need to lose weight quickly and safely. Medifast
Meals contain a medically designed balance of protein and carbohydrates, as well as
24 or more essential vitamins and minerals per serving, ensuring your patients' daily
nutritional requirements are met while losing weight on the program. Unlike fad diets
that restrict a specific macronutrient such as protein or carbohydrates, Medifast is
nutritionally balanced, allowing your patients to maintain lean muscle as they lose
weight. This helps your patients continue to burn fat as they transition and maintain
their weight loss long term.
Most Medifast Meals are formulated with heart-healthy soy protein, which, according
to research studies, may help reduce the risk of heart disease. Soy's naturally occurring
isoflavones may also help reduce the risk of bone fractures and osteoporosis. Soy protein
is a complete protein, providing all of the essential amino acids. Medifast also offers
products formulated with whey protein, for customers who have an allergy to soy or prefer
a non-soy product.
