The Medifast Diet is one of the hottest weight loss programs on the market today and this
is a basic review of the Medifast diet. This is not a new diet. It has been around for 27 years and has a long history of
success. It has been studied by several large universities and has been proven to be safe.
Simply put, the Medifast weight loss program is a meal replacement program. Meal replacement is pretty much what it says. Two
of your daily meals are replaced with protein shakes or protein bars.
One of the things that makes the Medifast plan successful is the 5 and 1 plan. This plan consists of 5 Medifast meals and 1
lean and green meal. Being that you are eating 6 meals a day, you are eating every 2-3 hours. This will keep you from getting
overly hungry and binging.
The Medifast plan is low-calorie (about 1000-1400), low-carb and low-fat and has all the daily nutrition that is required.
Medifast meals include your choice of shakes, soups, stew, oatmeal, chili, hot and cold drinks, scrambled eggs, bars and
puddings. You can choose any of these items for your 5 Medifast meals.
The nice thing about this program is it does not require much preparation or thinking for that matter. These meals are easily
portable and can be taken anywhere and prepared at any time. It is recommended that you have no more than 1 bar per day because
of the carbs.
The lean and green meal consists of 5-7 ounces of lean protein and 3 vegetables off the Medifast vegetable list. The Medifast
plan offers some great resources to ensure your success, such as; message boards and a daily success tracker. They also have
special plans for teenagers, seniors and diabetics.
Medifast offers some great discounts if you purchase 4 weeks of food at one time. They will give you two weeks free along with
a few other goodies. Four weeks of food is priced at between $250-300, when you include the 2 weeks of free food, you are paying
less than $7 a meal.
Medifast is available at special weight loss centers, but the easiest way to get Medifast meals is to order them online. Their
website is secure and easy to use. There is a wealth of information and resources available through the Medifast weight loss
site. The best part about this diet is many people lose between 2-5 pounds a week if the program is followed the way it was
designed. If you are looking for an easy method for safe weight loss, you should consider
Medifast as an option.
