A leading diet plan for decades, the Medifast plan was developed by a physician and has been trusted by the medical community for over two decades. Once only available by prescription, this plan has stood the test of time and has been deemed safe and effective. It is now available to the public for purchase online. By utilizing online coupon codes, you can save $50 off any purchase of $275 or more. Medifast consists of meal replacements and pre-packaged meals that are consumed five times throughout the day. At the end of the day, enjoy one “lean and green” meal consisting of about 5-6 ounces of of lean meat or seafood and three servings of vegetables.

Like many low carbohydrate weight loss plans, Medifast utilizes the body’s own powerful fat-burning furnace in order to decimate fat stores. This carbohydrate restricted plan causes the body to enter into ketosis, enabling you to tap into unused fuel stores that are trapped in your body fat. Another great diet plan that utilizes ketosis is the Atkins diet. The biggest misnomer about low carbohydrate diets is that you have to commit to never eating carbs again. This simply is not true. Both plans have a transition period where you learn to make good choices as you add carbohydrates back into your diet for the proper fuel balance.
