FACT: Weight loss is predominantly a function of burning more calories than you consume. Counting calories can be very difficult and is often boring and time consuming. Medifast does this for you, and our Medifast meals are the lowest calorie meal replacement foods on the market.

FACT: Doctors suggest that you eat 5-6 small meals a day. If you’re only eating once or twice a day, you’re going to be extremely hungry and will most likely overeat. Eating every 2-3 hours helps you build excellent eating habits and keeps you from getting too hungry.

FACT: Of course exercise is helpful. However, even if you jog for one hour, you'll burn less than 500 calories. That is still less than one McDonald's "Big Mac." The truth is, you cannot lose significant weight with exercise alone. Medifast keeps your caloric intake between 800 - 1000 calories per day, which will help you lose up to 2-5 pounds per week. 

FACT: You are not destined for failure. Your diets failed either because they were too hard to stick with, or because you didn't see significant results. Medifast is easy to stick with, and you can lose 2-5 pounds per week.  

FACT: While losing weight is mainly a function of calories taken in vs. calories burned, diets differ widely as to how easy they are, how they satisfy your hunger, and how safe they are. Medifast foods are easy to prepare, they keep you full throughout the day because you’re eating every 2-3 hours, and Medifast has been proven to be safe and effective at Johns Hopkins University.  

FACT: Eating healthy foods in reasonable portions is the ideal way to improve your health. However, many of us have tried this before and failed because food programs are hard to stay on. This is because there is so much work involved and cheating is so easy. A recent study at Johns Hopkins University proved that people lose twice as much weight and are twice as likely to stick with Medifast as a regular food diet.  

FACT: You can do it! Medifast helps you lose weight quickly, 2-5 pounds a week. Start today, and you'll be amazed at your quick results. In 2 months you can lose up to 40 pounds and be ready for summer

FACT: Dieting by counting and measuring calories and carbs is not only time consuming, but frustrating as well. Most of us lead busy lives and don't have time to prepare a lot of meals, especially healthy ones. Medifast does all of the counting for you, and most meals can be prepared in less than one minute.
