12 Symptoms & Side Effects Of Medifast - 1
NOTE : Most of our customers report feeling energized – and better than they did prior to starting a Medifast program. If you are ill or do not feel well, see your doctor. Unless your doctor says otherwise, you should be able to continue on the Medifast diet, as most symptoms experienced are temporary.
1. Leg Cramps
Some individuals may experience leg cramps on the program. If you are on medications you will want to have these monitored and adjusted accordingly throughout your weight loss program.
- Try raking a bouillon or a Medifast Soup to help.
- Make sure to keep well hydrated.
- Do not arbitrarily add potassium to your program without first consulting with your doctor. You will want to have labs done to determine how much (if any) potassium should be added. Adding inappropriate amounts of potassium can potentially affect heart rhythms.
2. Dizziness, lightheadedness, fatigue
- If you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or extra tired, try having a Medifast Fast Soup or a bouillon.
- Make sure to keep well hydrated and have medications monitored while doing the program.
- Please contact your physician if you are experiencing any of these symptoms after your first week on the program.
3. Headache
Individuals may experience a headache at the onset of the program. This is a result of getting into the fat-burning state.
- Tylenol or aspirin can help relieve pain symptoms.
- Make sure to get in at least 64-ounces of water.
- You should not experience a headache beyond week 1 of the program.
