What is the Fat-Burning State?
On the Medifast 5 & 1 Plan, your body enters a fat-burning state — also known as mild ketosis. The nutrient balance of Medifast in combination with its low calorie level causes the body s fat stores to release free fatty acids, which are then converted by the liver into an energy source called ketones. This mild dietary fat-burning state helps the body achieve rapid weight loss while preserving muscle tissue. The fat-burning state also helps eliminate physical hunger while providing sufficient levels of energy.
