Medifast

Medifast is a Maryland-based weight loss system that aims to bring about a more rapid loss of weight than most other programs. They do not charge any membership or other fees, and the only payment required is for the highly specific pre-packaged diet foods they recommend. The Medifast meals are low in fats, carbs and calories, and the overall daily caloric intake is reported to be 1000 calories or less per day. To ensure safety on this very low daily intake of calories, the Medifast meals have added protein, vitamins and minerals. The dieter eats predominantly, but not exclusively, the supplied pre-packaged meals. One meal per day is self-prepared, but needs to conform to clearly outlined nutritional parameters. Since the nutrient and calorie content of the supplied meals has been carefully calculated in advanced, there is no need for the Medifast participant to engage in any counting of carbs, fats or calories.
