<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">On April 7, 2017, Medifast, Inc. (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;)
filed a definitive proxy statement (the &ldquo;Proxy Statement&rdquo;) relating to the Company&rsquo;s 2017 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders (the &ldquo;Annual Meeting&rdquo;) to be held on Thursday, May 18, 2017, at 4:30 p.m. EDT, at the Four Seasons Hotel
Baltimore, 200 International Drive, Baltimore, Maryland 21202. As previously disclosed, the record date for determining the Company&rsquo;s
stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting has been fixed as the close of business on March 23, 2017. This Supplement
supplements and amends the Proxy Statement in order to add information regarding Proposal 2 - approval of the Amended and Restated
2012 Share Incentive Plan (the &ldquo;Plan&rdquo;).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">After making the Proxy Statement available to stockholders,
we were informed by Institutional Shareholder Services (&ldquo;ISS&rdquo;) that the proposal to amend and restate the Plan received
an unfavorable recommendation as determined by ISS. On May 9, 2017, after consideration of the ISS recommendation, the Company
determined to make the following revisions to the Plan:</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 1in">&#9;&#9679;&#9;<B>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Reduction
of Share Available under the Plan.</B> Section 4(a) of the Plan is being amended to decrease the number of additional shares subject
to the Plan from 1,000,000 to 600,000, resulting in a total of 1,600,000 shares of common stock authorized for issuance under
the Plan and 696,023 that will be available for issuance under the Plan if stockholders approve the amendment and restatement
of the Plan. The decrease in the number of shares available will reduce the total Plan costs and reduce the estimated Plan duration.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 1in">&#9;&#9679;&#9;<B>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Include
provision prohibiting payment of dividends or dividend equivalents on Unvested Awards.</B> The Plan is being amended to add Section
7(e) to expressly prohibit the payment of dividends or dividend equivalents on unvested awards. While it is not the practice of
the Company to pay dividends on unvested awards, the Plan previously did not prohibit the payment of dividends or dividend equivalents.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">There are no other changes to the amendment to the Plan as
described in the Proxy Statement.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Company&rsquo;s board of directors recommends that you
vote, or give instruction to vote, &ldquo;FOR&rdquo; the Plan, as so amended and restated.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Any vote &ldquo;FOR&rdquo; or &ldquo;AGAINST&rdquo; or &ldquo;ABSTAIN&rdquo;
that has been previously made will be counted, respectively, as a vote &ldquo;FOR&rdquo; or &ldquo;AGAINST&rdquo; the 2012 Plan
as described above and in the Proxy Statement. If any stockholder has previously voted and would like to change his or her vote
on any matter, such stockholder may revoke his or her proxy before it is voted at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders by submission
of a proxy bearing a later late in the manner set forth in the Proxy Statement.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">A copy of this supplement to the Proxy Statement was filed
as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company&rsquo;s Current Report on Form 8-K, dated May 10, 2017, and filed with the SEC on May 10, 2017.
A copy of the Plan was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to such Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.&rdquo;</P>
