What are the Medifast plan options?
The 5 and 1 plan (usually 800 – 1000 calories per day) is recommended for most individuals who have a moderate amount of weight to lose. Typically participants will maintain a weight loss of 2 to 5 pounds per week while on this program. Medifast low calorie diets require physician monitoring to minimize the potential for health risks. Can you alternate between the plans? Yes. Both the Complete and the 5 and 1 plans will maintain the protein balance of ketosis. With Medifast 55 and 70, you can start with a Complete program, then switch to a 5 and 1 plan or even go back and forth between the two options. For example, you might decide to do a complete program during the week, and then switch to a 5 and 1 plan on the weekend. What can be in the 5 and 1 “Lean and Green” meal? Lean meat: 7 ounces of chicken, turkey or fish, or 5 ounces of lean beef, pork or lamb. Grill, bake or poach meats using non-stick spray. Salt, pepper, herbs and spices may be added if desired.
