How long can I stay on the Medifast plan?
As long as you are doing well and making progress, you should be able to stay on the Medifast plan 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 longer period of time.
