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.

OPTION 1: The Medifast 4 & 2 & 1 Plan

  • 4 Medifast Meals + 2 Lean & Green Meals + 1 Healthy Snack
  • 1,000-1,200 calories daily
  • 100+ grams of carbohydrates daily
  • Weight loss will be slow and steady
  • Patients will not be in the fat-burning state with this plan
  • Sample meal plans are provided in the Medifast for Seniors Guide
