BALTIMORE, March 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Medifast, Inc. (NYSE: MED), the global company behind one of the fastest-growing health and wellness communities, OPTAVIA®, today released survey findings from a consumer study designed to further understand trends around nutritional priorities and challenges. As we mark the one-year anniversary of the pandemic in the U.S., many Americans are putting increased emphasis on the importance of working toward optimal health and wellness with healthy eating being a major component of success.
The study surveyed 1,426 U.S. adults* and found that although the majority of people (84%) are prioritizing healthy eating as much or more than they did last year, many are facing challenges in doing so despite recognizing its importance.
Nearly nine out of ten survey respondents (89%) report that nutrition is important to them; however, 56% say it's difficult to eat healthy, especially at home. In fact, over half (53%) of all respondents agree that being home more often during the pandemic has enabled them to snack more and/or eat less healthy and report that the top factor preventing them from eating healthy more often is their inability to resist cravings.
Other notable findings include:

Dan Chard, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Medifast
"Over the past year, the majority of Americans have come to recognize the importance of proper nutrition to their overall health, though many still struggle with where to start or how to stay consistent. Oftentimes, support is the missing link – it's why our model puts independent OPTAVIA Coaches at the center of everything we do. We believe the recent momentum behind our Coach growth can be attributed to people seeking support to help them not only eat healthier but create healthy habits in all areas of their lives."
To address the barriers many face in eating healthy, OPTAVIA offers a proprietary system built around healthy habit creation, clinically proven plans and scientifically developed products – all reinforced through Coach and Community support.
