Can I drink alcohol on Medifast weight loss program?
Alcoholic beverages are not recommended on the Medifast program. Alcohol provides unneeded calories and can slow your weight loss. Low-carbohydrate versions of beer and/or other types of alcohol are not recommended, because they too provide calories with no nutritional value.
Alcohol stimulates the appetite (encouraging additional food intake), and it also can deplete your body of needed water. Those who choose to drink alcohol tend to feel its effects at lower consumption levels, due to the lower calorie level of the Medifast 5 & 1 Plan.
