Popular weight loss program Medifast says it's possible to lose 20 pounds in just one month when you follow their plan. They have weight loss plan designed with the unique needs of women, men and diabetics. Some on Medifast report losing 2-5 pounds in just a week, making it one of the most rapid ways to lose weight.

Medifast combines the convenience of meal-delivery with the effective weight loss method of meal-replacement. The diet is rather low in calories, but the 1200-1400 calories per day offer plenty of nutrition and is low fat.
You of course want to know what you can eat. With 5&1 Plan, you'll eat 5 Medifast meals a day and one Learn and Green Meal. The Medifast meals include any of the low-cal/low-fat meal replacement foods that are delivered to your home. During the day you'll eat one of the Medifast bars, shakes, soups, oatmeal or other foods about every two to three hours. Your dinner or evening meal is the Lean and Gren Meal. You're on your own for this one as far as providing the food- but Medifast gives plenty of clear guidance. You'll choose a lean protein- about 5-7 ounces of fish, chicken, turkey, seafood, beef or pork. You're welcome to bake, grill, roast, smoke or any other method you choose, just no frying. With your lean protein you'll have about 3 vegetable servings. While the program is not low carb, there are some higher-carb produce items to avoid- like corn and carrots. Choose from the extensive Medifast list the vegetables you want to eat.
Medifast makes its distinction from being a quick-fix/fad diet by including exercise as part of its client's success. Exercise is a necessary evil when trying to lose weight and maintain a healthy figure. There are not personalized plans or even detailed workout instructions- but they do encourage you make the time each day to exercise. A brisk walk, light job or any other activity that you enjoy and can fit at least half an hour a day.
If you're ready to lose weight and live a healthier, then Medifast can be an ideal plan to help you get started on the right path. While the weight loss is fast- it does not pitch itself as being a fad diet with overnight results. You must be prepared to change your lifestyle- not just stick to a diet. The Medifast approach is celebrated by physicians nationwide and has received positive results during many clinical studies. You can re-learn how to eat with the meal replacement options.
For both men and women in hectic schedules- be it work, family or other obligations- Medifast easily fits. The food is delivered directly to you- eliminating the task of shopping.
