The website was well organized and designed. All the different sections were easy to locate and use the contact information was listed on the main home page. The website took us through the different steps and processes of the Medifast program and it felt very professional. Ordering on-line is possible, and testimonies and clinical trials were given

- Customer contact information was readily available and easy to locate on the website.
- Separate plans for men and women are offered

Cons
- There are contraindications so check with your doctor
- There is quite an extensive list of possible side effects some of which are normal for weight loss programs.
- We found this product to be one of the most expensive weight loss programs thus far. We understand that you are being provided with actual meals (all other programs food and supplements are additional costs that do not show up front) and that you need to take six of them every day, so it is hard to compare to a pill or a capsule.
- Transitioning back to food and portions takes time
- As with any diet when you lose weight quickly you may be at greater risk of gaining it back unless you make lifestyle changes and adhere to a maintenance program.

Diet Summary
Clinically Proven Medifast Meal Replacement Diet.
 does seem to be an interesting way to try and lose weight and the claims and results of the Medifast “stars” do show incredible results. We do find the product to be expensive but that might be expected due to the fact that it is through a meal based system and not just a weight loss supplement. At roughly $70 per week it is comparable in costs to programs like Jenny Craig or Nutri/System.
