SLBMI Nutrition and Weight Management Division>> Medifast Diet Plan

Medifast Diet Plan

The Medifast Diet Plan is a medically supervised protein sparing modified fast. Clients must be medically supervised. The Plan consists of five Medifast meals per day and one evening meal of meat and vegetables. A weight loss of about five pounds per week is average. The Plan can be followed for up to 16 weeks. Weekly or bi-weekly visits with Martha Vatterott, RD, LD will cover Nutrition Education and Behavior Modification. Her goal is to teach clients how to eat for the rest of their life. A "Lifestyles" book through Medifast is required ($12). After desired weight loss is achieved, clients will be "transitioned" back to real food.

The Medicast Diet Plan is available at the Macklind location only.
