Medifast diet myths do exist even though this is one of the best diet plans on the market today. Let’s go over a few of the myths and get the facts straight.
Medifast is a high calorie diet. Medifast diet plans stem around 1,000 calories a day, depending on which plan is chosen. This is a good safe level for losing weight.
Available by prescription only. Maybe it’s the name of the product that brought this myth about, or maybe it’s because the diets were developed originally to be prescribed by physicians, not so anymore. You can order the diet right from their website online.
For the severely obese only. It’s true, the Medifast diet plan does really well for those who are severely obese, it also does very well for those who just need to lose a little bit of weight too.
Just diet drinks and shakes. While they do offer these, they also offer an entire range of foods to eat for breakfast, lunch, supper and snacks.
Starvation diet. No, you won’t starve on their recommended six small meals a day with their plan and foods. In fact it works so well that people on the diet are rarely hungry!
