Medifast Weight loss programme is a diet plan designed to people who want to loose weight quickly and effectively. It doesn't demand calorie counting, there are no pills to use, no measuring, counting and complications or confusion, only exercise demands some effort. This healthy diet involves taking meal replacements, lean food which ensure fat loss.
Programs
There are three programs designed for three target groups: women, men and people with diabetes. For instance, the Medifast programme for people with diabetes helps them to soothen the symptoms connected with the disease and reduce medications they have to use.
Their Medifast for Women, Men or Diabetes 4-Week Package is the most popular to begin this effective diet plan. Their shakes have a specific content that helps to reduce weight and stay in a good health condition, e.g. reduce symptoms of menopause. They call their plan 5 & 1 because it consists of 5 medifast meals and one meal which is low in calories. The medifast meals vary from shakes, bars, soups to scrambled eggs etc. Over 60 medifast meals ensure variety of tastes and dishes.
Transition
After achieving the desired weight you switch into the transition part of the dieting program in which you begin eating fruits, low-fat dairy products and vegetables. This way you are enforced to stick to the pattern of 6 meals a day and your organism slowly gets used to new foods which you had omitted. The transition period will prevent you from gaining weight. There strict rules for the amount of time you should spend on transition and they depend on the number of pounds you have lost:
1. 50 pounds and less - 8 weeks of transition
2. 50-100 pounds - 12 weeks of transition
3. 100 pounds and more - 16 weeks of transition
The transition period is divided into the following stages:
1. Vegetables
2. Fruits
3. Dairy
4. Whole Grains
Maintenance
The next step you need to follow is the Maintenance. This stage of dieting helps you to keep your weight and follow the sensible diet afterwards. As medifast is designed to change the person's lifestyle rather than rapid weight loss you should stick to the schedule you implemented for yourself. You can never stop control your weight or resign from an active lifestyle, make yourself sure that you don't come back to your old habits. Monitor your weight and measure your body to assure yourself that you are not coming back to your old fat version. Exercising is crucial for maintaining good shape and slim figure, they have very important role in maintanance stage. Medifast specialists suggest three types of exercise: strength building, aerobics and lifestyle change, so as you used stairs rather than elevator, etc. Not only is the exercise good for your figure but it also has a number of health reasons which make exercise worth thinking over.
Extras

They also encourage exercising, maintaining good figure and provide a number of extra support tools such as: live chats, emails and free telephone conservations. You will receive monthly newsletters, special offers, recipes and tips how to stay in shape and keep your new slim figure. The thing which motivates you the most are the success stories you can read after purchasing your first medifast meals and creating "my medifast" account.
