Medifast Plus® for Diabetics
This information is for Type II Diabetes only.
It should not be applied to Type I or Insulin Dependent Diabetes.
Medifast Plus for Diabetics® specially formulated to
meet the needs of Diabetics. An excellent source of nutrition for diabetic patients who need to lose
weight and live a healthier life.
The most important mode of treatment of Type II Diabetes is control of diet. Weight
loss is essential if the patient is overweight. However, reduction of easily metabolized carbohydrates
is just as important. The American Heart Association now allows for a diet of 30% fat in an attempt
to reduce the amount of carbohydrates. The Low Fat diets of the 1980's, which advocated carbohydrates
as high as 80% of the diet, are a thing of the past. Not only did they fail to work (the average
American gained 8 lbs. while the dietary fast was reduced by 20%) but also they caused an increase
in insulin levels and ultimately insulin resistance.
The Medifast Plus for Diabetics® products have
a low glycemic index and wears the Glycemic Research Institutes Seal of Approval. This product
contains less than 6 grams of sugar per serving.
What makes Medifast Plus® for Diabetics different?
Medifast Plus® for Diabetics is a unique formula that
contains less than 6 grams of sugar per serving, yet retains the great taste and robust nutritional
content of other Medifast® products. For overweight Type II diabetics,
Medifast Plus® for Diabetics can be used as a modified weight loss plan
that includes one meal a day.
