Medifast: Maryland Crab Soup
BALTIMORE, May 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Medifast (NYSE: MED), the leading portion controlled weight loss program, today announced the expansion of its product offerings with the launch of Maryland Crab Flavor Soup. This new summer soup offers consumers more choices for portion controlled meal options that are healthy, low in calories and fat, and easy to prepare.
According to a 2007 study conducted by Pennsylvania State University, a low calorie soup regime is one way to eat less and stay full longer. Additionally the study shows that those who eat a first course of soup before a lunch entree will reduce their total calorie intake of their meal by a fifth compared with those who ate the entree alone.
"Soups are a hearty meal option since they are portion-controlled, take longer to eat and help people stay full between meals," says Dr. Lisa Davis, Ph.D., PA-C., Medifast Director of Research and Development. "With Medifast's Maryland connection, it is an ideal extension of our product line and a popular flavor for the summertime. We are always looking for healthy and innovative choices to offer our customers."
Medifast's Maryland Crab Soup has 110 calories, 1 gram of fat, 10 grams of protein and 24 essential vitamins and minerals per serving. The soup is easy to transport for people on the go and can be prepared in less than five minutes.
The new Maryland Crab Soup is part of Medifast's 5 & 1 Plan, where customers choose five Medifast meals per day and have one meal of lean protein and vegetables known as the "lean and green" meal.
The Medifast Maryland Crab Soup, along with eight additional soup options and more than 70 low-calorie, nutritionally balanced foods, are available at www.defragged.tsfl.com. A box of soup costs $14.50 and includes seven individual-serving soup packets.
