For over twenty years, Medifast has been helping people lose weight and change their lives. With Medifast quality products, programs, and personalized support, you can make your weight-loss goals a reality.

The Medifast plan is based on the principles of a very low-calorie diet (VLCD). As the name implies, this type of diet (usually 500 to 800 calories a day) creates a significant gap between the calories you take in and the amount your body requires. VLCD's are carefully designed to assure adequate protein levels while restricting the amount of carbohydrates. This program is recommended if you have a significant amount of weight to lose and should be medically supervised by your primary care physician or a qualified medical practitioner. We recommend a modified program (usually 800-1200 calories a day) for most people. This program includes one regular meal a day in addition to Medifast food supplements.

The nutrient balance of Medifast combined with the low-calorie level causes the fat stored to release free fatty acids which are converted by the liver into an energy source called ketones. This mild state of "ketosis" helps the body achieve rapid weight loss while preserving muscle tissue. Ketosis also helps eliminate physical hunger while providing good levels of energy.

Medifast programs are designed to be used as a comprehensive weight-loss approach. For best results, plan to do Medifast for at least 12 to 16 weeks. We recommend you stay on the program until you reach your goal weight, then integrate the food supplements into your maintenance plan.

Medicare and other insurances DO NOT cover weight loss programs.

On your first visit you are required to see a provider for a complete medical work-up and establishment of a weight loss plan. The cost of this visit is $100.00. If you have had the required blood work done within the last three months, the cost is $75.00.

After the above visit, you will be scheduled with the nurse for further evaluation (fasting blood work -- if needed, form requirements, measurements, weight, vitals, etc.). The cost of this visit is $50.00.

After your initial nurse visit, you will be scheduled to return for a follow-up nurse visit every week for six weeks. The cost of this is $20.00 per visit.

Upon completion of the first six weeks of the Medifast program, you will be scheduled with the provider for a follow-up to discuss your progress and make any necessary diet adjustments. The cost of this is $50.00
