Medifast: Take Shape for Life Program
Medifast is a medically supervised weight loss program, which specializes in multidisciplinary patient education programs and uses the highest quality meal replacements. Medifast offers a wide spectrum of width management options depending on the amount of weight you have to lose. The Medifast philosophy is meal replacement. The more meals replaced, the more weight is lost. Unlike other diets, Medifast provides life changing behavior modification programs and products that support you through weight loss and weight management. The Medifast programs teaches you how to lose weight and keep it off for life.
Evidence in the medical literature strongly supports the use of structured, portion-controlled meal replacements for weight loss and weight maintenance. Clinical testing at Johns Hopkins University demonstrates that Medifast safely and effectively reduces body weight and improves health outcomes among overweight and obese adults.
Medifast differs from the other weight loss companies employing meal replacements in that the focus is on improving overall health as opposed to just causing weight loss. Three main features that set Medifast meal replacements apart from the rest are that they: 1) are fortified with 100% of the recommended daily allowance for vitamins and minerals; 2) in many cases are made with enough soy protein to carry the FDA health claim “Heart Healthy”; and 3) include a health management line of products (“Plus”) that are specifically tailored to meet the individual health needs of patients. As many obese individuals suffer from comorbidities, Medifast’s “Plus” line was created to specifically improve the health and quality of life of patients with coronary heart disease, diabetes, osteoarthritis, and menopause as they lose weight.
The Medifast brand has been recommended by over 15,000 physicians nationwide and used by more than one million overweight customers. Medifast offers more than 50 years of knowledge and experience, combined with world-class customer service, and technical and medial support.
