The Medifast 5 & 1 plan is medically formulated to safely create a gap between the calories you take in and the calories your body burns naturally. The Medifast 5 &1 plan keeps your metabolism going with a high-protein, nutrient dense meal every few hours, which helps modulate blood sugar levels, helps control hunger and cravings, and helps preserve muscle mass while burning fat. Medifast meal replacements are medically formulated for the highest fullness index (a calculation of fiber, protein and calories).

The average weight loss on the Medifast 5 & 1 Plan is 2-5 pounds per week. Within 2-3 days of starting the plan, your body will naturally begin to burn stored fat as energy. In this fat-burning state of the program you should experience low hunger and good energy levels. You should also be losing 2-5 pounds per week.
