GetYouHealth.com - Medifast Reaches New Highs in Weight Loss Mgmt.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, Medifast reported revenue of $19.2 million, a
130% increase from $8.3 million in the first quarter of 2005. Medifast diet products
and meal substitutes used for long-term doctor-supervised weight loss programs,
soared $1.01, or 6.3 percent, to a 52-week high of $17.01 in midday trading on the
American Stock Exchange, a day after its first-quarter profit surged. The stock has
been trading in a 52-week range of $2.82 to $16.

We will explain in this press release the reasons why Medifast stock is on the rise.

For one thing, millions of people rely on the premier clinically proven weight loss
products and programs for losing weight and maintaining it. Other diets are failing
like the Atkins diet. Shares of eDiets.com, a health and fitness Web site that
provides information, advice, products and services, slumped Wednesday, May 17 after
an analyst downgraded the stock on a decline in its core subscription business.
eDiets.com hawks many different diets, in which most people don\'t succeed with in
the long run.

The Take Shape for Life team of doctors uses the BeSlim Philosophy that works for
the vast majority of people after they have reached their target weight.

They have discovered the secrets to long-term weight loss, but these are no quick
fixes. According to Dr. Wayne Andersen, \"To keep lost weight off, people must change
their approach to exercise and develop new habits.\"

They\'ve identified six behaviors common among people who\'ve kept the weight off
which embodies the BESLIM Philosophy:

1) Breakfast Every Day
High quality fuel is essential to start the day off right.

2) Exercise
Continued exercise increases metabolism, provides strength, flexibility and mental
clarity.

3) Support
Mentors and coaches help you reach and maintain your goals, providing the coaching,
tools, education and caring support you will need along the way.

4) Low Fat Meals
Eating 5-6 times a day frequently, controlling portion and total calories,
especially those from fat, are critical for success.

5) Individual Plan
Create an Individual plan to help you achieve an optimal healthy lifestyle and build
the skills and strategies people need to cope with modern life.

6) Monitor
Weigh yourself on a regular basis to maintain optimal weight. Catch it before it
becomes a challenge.
