Can I Replace All Food with Medifast?
Replacing all food with Medifast is an option, but must be done under a doctor’s supervision during weight loss and Transition because it is lower in calories than the 5 & 1 Plan.
Issues for Women
Rapid weight loss may cause an increase in the level of estrogen in the bloodstream, which may affect the regularity of menstrual cycles, possibly change PMS symptoms, and can also increase fertility. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not use Medifast as a weight loss program. Note: It is not recommended due to the artificial sweetener.
What if I am not feeling well?
Most of our customers report feeling energized and better than they did prior to starting a Medifast program. If you are ill or do not feel well, see your doctor. Unless your doctor says otherwise, you should be able to continue with Medifast, as most symptoms experienced are temporary.
Do Any Medications Interfere with the Medifast program?
Most prescription medications will not interfere with the 5 & 1 Plan. As you lose weight however, dosages may need to be adjusted because the 5 & 1 Plan can improve blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels. Make sure your physician is consulted PRIOR to and while you are on the Medifast program.
If you have diabetes and are taking medication, please check with your physician prior to starting a weight loss program, as your medication requirements may change during the first week on the plan.
Blood pressure medications usually need to be adjusted as you lose weight. Call your doctor prior to starting the program in order to avoid symptoms associated with reduced blood pressure, such as feeling tired or washed out, legs feeling rubbery or weak, headache, dizziness or light-headedness.
Antacids such as Maalox, Rolaids, Tums, etc. are acceptable to use with the Medifast program. You may also use acidblockers and related medications.
We do not recommend using Medifast as a weight loss program if you are using over 20 mg of steroids (such as Cortisone or Prednisone) per day, since these medications may prevent weight loss.
If you are currently taking a diuretic (water pill), check with your doctor before starting the Medifast program, as the 5 & 1 Plan may promote frequent urination.
If you are taking anti-seizure or thyroid medication, check with your doctor to see if this program is right for you.
Can I continue Medifast if I have a cold?
If you become ill with a cold or the flu, you can stay on the 5 & 1 Plan provided your symptoms are not too severe. Taking antibiotics (prescribed by your doctor) won’t harm your Medifast plan but may temporarily slow your weight loss.
