The weight loss program consists of 5 Medifast meal supplements (shakes, soups, oatmeal, chili, crackers, etc.) per day plus 1 "lean and green" meal consisting of a grean salad/cooked vegetables with lean meat.
The clinically proven results of Medifast are based on the use of a defined formula diet.

Each nutritionally balanced Medifast Meal is formulated with a proven combination of carbohydrates and protein to allow you to successfully lose weight without losing muscle.
Clinical studies have shown that people lose 2-5 lbs. a week with Medifast. As with most diets, Medifast suggests that you talk to your doctor prior to starting a weight loss program.

Medifast Liquid Diet: is it a Safe Treatment for Obesity?
By: Mark Wilkins | 04/07/2007 | Health
But, is the Medifast Liquid Diet safe? Interestingly enough, very low calorie liquid protein diets earned a bad reputation in the 1970’s when sixty deaths were attributed to the use of these diets to treat obesity. A subsequent investigation showed the liquid protein diets on the market at the time were composed of a substandard protein which likely played a role in the patient’s deaths. The modern very low calorie liquid protein diets, such as Medifast, derive their protein sources from milk and egg whites, both of which supply high quality protein components.
