How Old Do You Have To Be On Medifast?
We have received many questions from young adults asking if Medifast has age restrictions? We have been asked how old you have to be to use Medifast? How young can you be to use Medifast? Can teenagers use Medifast? We are here to answer some of the questions that you may be seeking. We are here to answer the basic question of not only how old you need to be to use Medifast but also we hope to answer the complicated and difficult question of what does it take for a young person to be able to lose weight and whether or not Medifast can work for a minor child.
Parent or Child?
First off we need to determine who is reading this article. Are you a parent or are you the young adult? This is critical because if a person does not really want to make weight loss a reality in their life, then it is just not going to happen. If a parent thinks that they can force weight loss, or Medifast onto the daily reality of a son or a daughter, they will be sadly mistaken. The “rules” for weight loss apply not only to adults, they also apply to any young person. Weight Loss, or weight gain, is not based on one decision, but rather it is the cumulative piling up of food choices. If a child or an adult is not ready to make weight loss a reality, then there is nothing a person could do, short of locking the person up in a cell and forcing a diet on them. The point we hope to emphasize here is that for a person to choose Medifast to lose weight, they need to be the one making the active decision to use the program. The choice to use Medifast can only be effective if the person making the choice is the one starting the program. Parents, as well as the teenager needs to understand this statement and accept it and then live by the reality of the situation they are currently dealing with in their life at this moment in time. Medifast can work, but not if it is forced.
If the teenager is reading this and is interested in getting their parents to pay for the program, then the teenager needs to understand the dynamic relationship between parent and child. If the parent has the ability to pay for the program there is really no need to not use, if the son or daughter is trying to make the life changes needed. In fact, the parent should not only encourage the child, they should be cheering. If the parent is afraid of the cost of Medifast then they shouldn’t fear the cost because it is really not expensive, once the cost breakdown is examined. In many cases the upfront expense of the Medifast program actually ends up being cheaper than NOT being on the program. To understand the cost a person needs to realize that the initial cost is almost all the money that will need to be spent, other than for one Lean and Green Meal per day, which is fairly inexpensive. One must understand that the initial monthly cost often ends up being less than what is normally spent on food for any given month.

Medifast has meal plans that are designed to meet the needs of adolescents between 13 – 18 years old.

The Medifast Plan is simple, safe and extremely effective, as long as the user is actively engaged in achieving the results of losing weight. Medifast can not only help a young person lose weight, it can teach valuable life long lessons as to what it will take to lead a healthy and fulfilling life.

If you are a young adult and you are ready to begin your life at a healthy and enjoyable weight, there is no reason why you can’t use Medifast to make weight loss happen in your life.
If you are a young adult and you think you can make the adjustment to start using Medifast to help you lose weight, the battle for weight loss may already be won. The reason we say this is because Medifast works… and that is a fact. It has, and is used by The John’s Hopkins Bariatric Center and that is because it works. There is no disputing the fact that Medifast not only works, it works very well. That is one fact that can not be disputed because that just how facts work in the reality of the day. Medifast works for adults and the fact that you are not over the age of 18 really means little. The calories a person receives by eating Medifast will not only foster weight loss they will also ensure the proper growth of a young person. In fact, when a youth engages in subsisting off Medifast they will undoubtedly be eating a healthier and more nutritious way of life than they are eating today. Not many diets or meal plans would even dare to make that statement. To carry the statement one step further, a person can live on the Medifast way of life for the rest of their life, as an option to living a healthy life!!!
Medifast is safe to use for any young adult from the age of 13 years or older. Medifast works and it works well, so if you are a young adult, teenager or any age in between Medifast can work for you. If Medifast was not safe for young people to use there sure would not be a Medifast Program called “Medifast for Teens.” We have provided you with a convenient link to show you the official Medifast Booklet that is available from Medifast.
