Medifast Diet

Medifast is a meal-replacement program that provides a variety of pre-portioned, calorie-controlled meal replacements, such as shakes, bars, soups, puddings, oatmeal, scrambled eggs and more. There are over 60 meals to choose from. On top of the advised 5 Medifast meals or snacks it is also recommended you eat a 'Lean and Green' meal once a day, for example lean chicken with vegetables or salad.

The Medifast Diet has been helping dieters lose weight for over 25 years in the United States. At one time the diet was only available through medical professionals, but now Medifast have weight control centers in both Florida and Texas, and many online facilities for menu planning, ordering and help.

Unfortunately Medifast is not available in Europe as yet, but I have tried Medifast products on a visit to my niece who was at Lock Haven (PA) university at the time. Her and her housemates were on the Medifast Diet. My niece lost around 20lbs during her time at the University, most of which she attributed to Medifast. In my opinion, seeing as the Medifast plan requires you follow a low calorie plan/high protein plan for a number of weeks I would think this diet is more suitable for people who wish to lose 20lbs and over, rather than small amounts of weight.

The pros of the Medifast Diet are you should lose between 2 and 5lbs per week. You should not go hungry as you will be eating a high-protein Medifast shake or snack every 2 to 3 hours. This will also keep your blood sugar levels on an even keel and therefore you will not experience sugar cravings or energy dips. The diet is easy to follow, as the snacks take very little (if any) preperation time, and can easily fit into your bag if you are away from home for the day. The 'Lean and Green' requirement also means you shouldn't have any trouble if eating out.

Many people have reported huge weight loss success with the Medifast Diet. One could of course, replace the diet with high protein, low calorie snacks, but there is, in my opinion, too much room for error. With Medifast the portion control and calorie counting has already been done for you, and the food is shipped right to your door.
