Product & Plan FAQs
Medical Monitoring
You should consult with your physician prior to beginning (and throughout the course of) any weight-loss program. We strongly recommend you talk to your physician prior to starting, and throughout the course of, your weight-loss program if you:
- are over the age of 70
- are under the age of 18
- have diabetes, hypertension, or any other serious medical condition
- are taking medications, especially for diabetes
If you are over age 70, this program should be done with your physician's supervision. Your physician may recommend that you use a higher calorie meal plan than the 5 & 1 Plan (such as the 1,100-1,500 calorie meal plans found in the Medifast for Seniors Guide) based on your individual needs. Dosages of medications may need to be adjusted, and labs and vital signs may need to be monitored. For more information, please refer to the Medifast Senior Guide (PDF).
Take Shape For Life makes no claim that these results are representative of all participants on the Take Shape For Life Program. Take Shape For Life recommends you consult with a physician before starting a weight-loss program. Individual results will vary. Fullness Index is a satiety calculation based on a food's fiber, protein, and calorie content. The equation is: (grams of protein per serving + grams of fiber per serving) x 100, divided by number of calories per serving. The higher the number, the more fullness is derived from each calorie.
