Medifast, Inc. , a leading portion-controlled weight-loss program, today announced the launch of its newest Medifast bars featuring a great crunchy taste and a new formula that is lower in calories, total fat, and carbohydrates. Medifast's new bar flavors include Chocolate Mint Crunch, Peanut Butter Crunch, and Caramel Crunch, and are available at http://www.choosemedifast.com/.

"We find that one of the sensations that dieters often miss is the crunch feeling when eating, which is why we specifically designed these new bars to fill that craving," said Lisa M. Davis, Ph.D., PA-C, C.N.S., L.D.N., Vice President of Research and Development, Medifast, Inc. "The new crunchy bars, like all Medifast Meals, provide a high level of satiety per serving according to the Fullness Index™."

The new crunchy bars are completely interchangeable with other Medifast Meals in the popular Medifast 5 & 1 Plan, which means clients can enjoy up to five new bars per day. The Medifast 5 & 1 Plan allows clients to eat five Medifast Meals and one Lean & Green Meal, consisting of a lean protein and vegetables, each day.

Medifast's new crunchy bars have 110 calories, 3 grams of fat, 11 grams of protein, and 24 essential vitamins and minerals per serving. The bars are easily transported and ideal for dieters on the go with zero preparation time.
