If you have significant weight to lose and plan to be on the weight loss phase of the program beyond 16 weeks, we recommend that your physician monitor your program. After you’ve completed the weight loss phase, you will transition into the Maintenance Plan. Nutrition Support at Medifast is available to guide you in this transition if you need assistance. For general health, it is recommended that you stop smoking.

long as you are doing well and making progress, you should be able to stay on Medifast for as long as it takes to reach your desired goal weight. Some programs recommend taking a break from a complete plan after 16 weeks; however, research has not shown this to be necessary. To lose a lot of weight, such as more than 100 pounds, you may need to be on the program for a long time.

Yes, you can. In fact, many people will use one or two Medifast supplements a day as part of their maintenance plan. This provides structure while allowing flexibility in your meal plan.

Incorporating this product into your diet once or twice a day will keep you disciplined.
