This low-calorie program puts your body into a fat burning stage that allows you to typically lose 2 to 5 pounds per week while eating every 2-3 hours to stay satisfied and energized. <br> <br> THE MEDIFAST 5 AND 1 PLAN <br> Recommended for men and women who want to lose 20 or more pounds. <br> [For less than 20 pounds to lose, see Weight Maintenance.]</p> <p><br> <img border="0" src="../images/products/shakes/swiss_mocha_sb.jpg" width="50" height="39"><font size="6">+</font><font size="7"><img border="0" src="../images/products/oatmeal/oatmeal_w125.jpg" width="43" height="39"></font><font size="6">+</font><font size="7"><img border="0" src="../images/products/soups/chicken_noodle_w125.jpg" width="44" height="40"></font><font size="6">+</font><font size="7"><img border="0" src="../images/products/bars/bars_w125.jpg" width="40" height="38"></font><font size="6">+</font><font size="7"><img border="0" src="../images/products/shakes/swiss_mocha_sb.jpg" width="44" height="34"></font><font size="6">+<img border="0" src="../images/products/salad/salad_w125.jpg" width="42" height="39"></font><br> <br> <br> Each day you simply eat any 5 Medifast Meals and 1 “lean and green” meal. For the Medifast meals you choose from any combination of over 70 different foods – shakes, soups, bars, oatmeal, pudding, chili, and hot and cold drinks. The “lean and green” meal is just a low fat, healthy regular meal consisting of 5 to 7 ounces of a lean meat or vegetarian protein plus either a large green salad or portion of cooked green vegetable. This plan provides you with about 800 to 1000 calories a day.<br> <br> Each Medifast meal is a complete meal replacement – whether it is fruit punch or chocolate pudding. By having 5 a day you will get 100% of your daily required vitamins and minerals. If you have special nutritional needs or preferences, one of our Health Advisors can help you select the right product. Or go to Special Needs to see the variety of product options.<br> <br> You can have your lean and green meal any time of the day - most typically at dinner time or lunchtime - whatever works best for your schedule. It can be a home cooked meal or restaurant prepared. It should consist of:<br> <br> Lean protein – 7 ounces of chicken, turkey, or fish or 5 ounces of lean beef, pork or lamb that is grilled, baked or poached using non-stick spray. Vegetarians can use low-fat cheeses, eggs (whites or substitute), tofu or veggie burgers. Salt, pepper, herbs, and spices may be added if desired. <br> <br> Salad or Vegetable – 2 cups of salad (salad greens, cabbage, spinach, sprouts, celery, radishes, cucumber, pepper, or tomato) and up to ½ cup raw vegetables or 1 ½ cups cooked vegetables.<br> <br> You may also use 1-2 TBSP. of Medifast Dressing or any low fat and low carb dressing on your salad or as a marinate.<br> <br> THE COMPLETE PLAN<br> <br> The 5 & 1 plan is recommended for most people as it allows rapid yet safe weight loss. However, in some cases your doctor may want you to be on a lower calorie program. The complete plan should only be followed while under your physician’s supervision due to its very low calorie intake. With the complete program, you have only Medifast meal replacements, 6 a day, with no lean and green meal. This plan provides you with about 550 to 700 calories a day.<br> <br> MEDIFAST 55 VERSUS 70<br> <br> Weight loss and nutrition needs tend to vary from men to women. The Medifast 55 shakes are specifically formulated for women. The Medifast 70 shakes contain a higher amount of protein and calories needed by men and very active women.<br> <br> EXERCISE<br> <br> You can lose the weight you want on Medifast without exercise (which makes it perfect for people who are unable to exercise for physical, time or other reasons). However, adding exercise can speed up your weight loss and of course provides other important health benefits. Because your body is changing to a new source of fuel and adjusting to reduced calories, we recommend either no or reduced exercise for the first 3 weeks on the Medifast plan. If you have not been exercising, wait until your 3rd week to start. If you already are exercising regularly, cut the intensity and duration of your program in half for those first 3 weeks. Then slowly add to and increase your workout. Aerobic exercise such as walking is the best. While on the program, you are getting enough protein to not lose muscle mass. However, you are not getting enough protein to support a body building or serious weight lifting program. If you are exercising below the point of sweating, then you are at the proper level of effort. <br> <br> WATER<br> <br> Water is also a very important part of all the Medifast plans and you should drink eight 8-oz glasses a day in addition to the water in your Medifast meals. <br> <br>  </p> <p class="sectionhead">  </p> </div> </td> <td rowspan="2" valign="top" width="170" class="navbarbgc">  <div id="rightsidebar"> <br /> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" style="border-collapse: collapse; background-color:#EAE6DA" width="170" bordercolor="#000000"> <tr> <td style="background-color: #EAE6DA; background-image:url('../images/layout/bookmark_bak.gif')"> <a href="javascript:bookmarksite('Medifast Tucson - Fast and Effective Weight Loss', 'http://www.medifasttucson.com')"> <img border="0" src="../images/layout/bookmark_bttn.gif" width="170" height="24"></a></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="background-color: #EAE6DA; background-image:url('../images/layout/phone_bak.gif')"> <img border="0" src="../images/layout/phone_bttn.gif" width="170" height="24"></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="background-color: #EAE6DA; background-image:url('../images/layout/order_bak.gif')"> <a target="_blank" href="http://medifasttucson.tsfl.com/"> <img border="0" src="../images/layout/order_bttn.gif" width="170" height="22"></a></td> </tr> </table> <p class="singlesidebar"><br>  </p> <p class="sidebarpromotitle"> Current Health News </p> <p class="singlesidebar"> </p> <p class="singlesidebar"><strong><a href="http://www.cnn.com/2004/HEALTH/diet.fitness/03/12/obesity.campaign/index.html" target="_blank">White House takes aim at obesity (CNN)</a></strong><br /> The Bush administration has announced a campaign to combat obesity through improved product labels, health education, and a partnership with restaurants.<br /> <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2004/HEALTH/diet.fitness/03/12/obesity.campaign/index.html" target="_blank">Read the full story... </a></p> <p class="singlesidebar"> </p> <p class="sidebarpromotitle">Success Story<br /> of the Month </p> <p class="singlesidebar"> </p> <p class="singlesidebar"><strong>Sandra E.—Florida</strong></p> <p >Dear Dr. Manny and Staff,</p> <p >I thought you would like an update on my progress.
