The Medifast diet is a low-fat, low-calorie weight loss program centered around consuming specific foods and drinks designed and marketed by the Medifast company. This plan features a variety of products, such as shakes, bars, puddings, soups, oatmeal, hot drinks, and cappuccino. These items include an appetite suppressant, "Super Citrimax," derived from the Southeast Asian plant Garcinia Cambogia. Participants in the diet eat these specially formulated foods along with one "lean and green" meal each day, which consists of low-fat meats and vegetables. The Medifast diet suggests that sticking to the plan can lead to a weight loss of 2-5 pounds per week. It is advised to consult with a doctor before starting the program, and like all low-calorie diets, it is considered safest when done under medical supervision.
