The Medifast Plan
For Seniors
The Medifast for Seniors Program is specially designed for adults over age 70.
The Medifast for Seniors Program is different from the Medifast 5 & 1 Plan.
Maintaining a healthy weight is beneficial for people of all ages. As one gets
older, achieving and maintaining a healthy weight becomes crucial to their overall
state of health. The Medifast for Seniors Program is convenient and easy to follow,
emphasizing portion-controlled eating at regular intervals throughout the day.
Seniors have two options for Medifast Meal Plans. As their physician, you can help
choose the option that is right for your patient.
