LOW CARB Modified MEDIFAST ® PROGRAM

At Coastal Medical Weight Loss Centers our patients have had considerable success with the LOW CARB Program. The key to the low carbohydrate diet is to limit the total amount of carbohydrates taken in to 60 grams per day. The body is then forced to burn fat instead of glucose or glycogen resulting in ketosis (not ketoacidosis). This can become a bit of an educational problem especially if you have been trained to think of fat as the Enemy vs. Carbohydrates. We have made the educational process much easier by utilizing the liquid shakes or High Protein bars for Breakfast and Lunch. The so called "sensible dinner" is low in carbohydrates as are the snacks. This way you will see results right away and there are less decisions to make with only one meal.

We prefer Medifast® 70 and Medifast Plus® for Diabetics as opposed to the other shakes due to its very low carbohydrate content. One MEDIFAST 70® shake contains only 13 grams of carbohydrates. One MEDIFAST PLUS® for Diabetic shake contains only 9 grams of carbohydrates. COMPARED TO SLIMFAST WHICH CONTAINS 48 grams of carbohydrates!

This is NOT the Medifast formula sold over the counter
in Drug Stores as it is too high in carbohydrates.
This is the formula compounded for Physicians.

What makes Medifast different?
At Coastal Medical Weight Loss Centers we feel the Medifast Program is the only high protein program that provides a variety of nutritionally balanced meal replacements that are high in dietary fiber and fortified with 20-30 percent of recommended daily intakes of vitamins and minerals. Medifast products are lactose free and made with soy protein as opposed to whey protein. With at least 6.25 grams of soy protein in many products, Medifast provides the added benefit of reduced risk of heart disease and high cholesterol levels. Because Medifast products are real food, there is no need to be concerned with drug interactions.
