Is medfast weight loss program healthy?
Medifast is a doctor supervised weight loss system. It is always healthy to lose weight and Medifast is a conservative way to do that.
There is not set amount of weight you will lose. It depends entirely on the individual (meaning how much you weigh, your gender, etc.) The fact is, however, that the "diet" your describing is a sure way to either A) end up very sick from lack of nutrients or B) end up losing very little weight and/or gaining weight because you will simply overeat throughout said "diet" because your body is, quite simply, starving. I'm a vegeterian, so I've cut meat entirely out of my diet. *But* I compensate for the lack of protein which leads me to my next point... Cutting bread, meet, and cheese out of your meals is *not* a good way to loose weight unless you compensate for their nutritional value. Your body absolutely NEEDS carbohydrates and protein to run. To be honest, I'd suggest that instead of *cutting* all of that out of your diet you just *limit* it. You lose weight by burning more calories than you consume - not by cutting out entire food groups. You're more likely to maintain weight loss if you do it over a slower period of time (that sucks, I know), and you'll look a lot better for it. Rapid weight loss almost guarantees your losing muscle mass, and that'll just make you look flabby.
I've never heard it called that, but I think you are referring to over-exercise or people who have exercise addictions. These people are obsessed with working out to the point that it is getting in the way of their every day lives. They usually eat normally, but sometimes over-exercising is found in anorexia or bulimia. They often work out much more than necessary, and get really thin because they are burning many more calories then they are taking in (even if they are eating normally). Some can exercise for 8-10 hours at a time.

The only way to really lose fat, is to lose it from all over your body. Eat lean proteins, oatmeals, and good fats like avocadoes and olives, and you will shed that fat quicker than you can read this answer. Cardio exercise - At minimum, you should begin by cadio walking 30 minutes a day. Sit-ups, crunches, and other abdominal exercises are recommended, but these alone will not get rid of your belly fat. What will get rid of your excess belly fat is a high-impact workout where your body burns more calories than it receives through food intake.
Cardio Exercises + Abdominal Exercises + Diet is the best way to lose belly fat. If possible, do some strength training exercises as they improve the body metabolism and hence you can lose more fat.

If you're a gymnast with big shoulders is there any way you could make them smaller?
no idea. all i can tell you is i use to be a gymnast and 8 years later i still have the thick thighs and butt from when it use to be muscle.

Is it unpleasant to get a genitalia check for a physical?
That's really up to you. It can be a bit embarassing, and it may even be slightly uncomfortable for a moment or two, but it shouldn't actually be painful (if it is, that's a sign that there's something wrong).
The people who answered already obviously can't read! The question is not whether you can lost 20 pounds PER DAY, the question is can you lose 20 pounds in ONE MONTH by eating ONCE PER DAY!
It depends on how many calories you eat during that one meal and how many sit ups you do.
It would be pretty hard to do. I don't think you could do it unless you eat very little and do sit ups for hours every day.
I don't think it's healthy.
During exercise/activity, the heart beats faster. The circulation speeds up. Muscles release toxins that the capillaries pick up. Veins transport waste back to the heart/lungs. The lungs speed up their action to help clear the blood faster and bring in more oxygen. The arteries expand with increased heart rate, pushing O2 back through the blood stream to muscles, etc. The kidneys are busy clearing toxins too. The skin responds with increased sweat. Sweating/physical body warmth prompts us to drink, replacing fluids to help circulating blood volume, and continued removal of waste. By drinking more and because the kidneys are working more, often we'll need to urinate, thus ridding our body of toxins. The muscles continue to demand glucose for energy; the pancreas responds under the demand.
Each of these systems interact seamlessly, without our conscious control (unless we have health conditions that make us more aware of potential problems).
