Medifast

If someone were interested in this diet program, there was no clue as to how to do it. If one's doctor must recommend participation, this wasn't stated. No 800 number was offered, if you just need to call to begin the food delivery program.

I have never heard of a prepared food plan that offers so many tastes they can accommodate. However, how this is done wasn't mentioned. I have never heard of any diet plan that provides soy free products as well as kosher dairy products, kosher parve products, lactose free products, low lactose products, etc. This seems too good to be true!

I do not understand how a Lean and Green meal can be delivered to one's door. I do not understand how the food, catering to these specific dietary needs, can be provided so that one can eat every 2 to 3 hours to stave off hunger. Drinking 64 ounces of water a day is a great idea. Everyone should be doing this, anyway.

It was encouraging to read that the Medifast plan enables so much weight loss, including Type 2 diabetics.

Again, it sounded like an unbelievably good plan, but there was no mention of how one could get started with this diet. There was also no hint as to how expensive this might be. Any plan that can save one food shopping time must be costly. Votes: +2

I used this diet plan and liked it very much. The prepackaged meals worked great for me because I deliver mail and have to eat on the road. The lean and green meal was all I had to fix and that was no problem. My only problem with this plan was the expense. It was costly to buy the prepackaged meals and there was no way to know if I'd like the tatse until I bought it. Other that that, I was recommend this plan. Votes: +6

I signed up for this plan threw my weight loss doctor. They ordered it and billed my flex plan visa. Flex plan paid the 275 for 4-5 weeks of food. I work FT and am single. On Sundays, I would cook my chicken or other protien and make up 5 to-go dishes for my lean and green for the week. take them to work and off I would go. It worked GREAT for me. Easy, tasted as good as it could, after all its not candy! I also took phentermine at the same time and chromium. That curbed my need for the office vending machine and any hunger. Altogether, I have lost 20 pounds in 1 1/2 months and would do it all over again, no regrets. becasue I used my flex plan, no money had to come out of pocket hurting my budget. Votes: +5

Hello! Good Site! Thanks you! voijnlazkkf Votes: +5

My husband and I have been doing this for the last 3 months. He has lost 60 lbs and I have lost 45! The first two weeks were extremely hard, but after that, it was a breeze. It is expensive, but you hardly ever go to the market, so you kind of save money. I do agree that they should have a sample box that you can try, because there are a few we didn't like. Since we started, we have 5 friends that are on it and we can trade off with each other.

I didn't like the idea that someone is doing it without support. If you check the website, there should be an area where you can hook up with a "coach" Also, I'm sure if you checked with your doctor, they could tell you where there are support groups in your area to attend meetings. You get a coach and you can call any time with questions. We originally started the plan, as it was recommended to my husband by his doctor. Now, even his doctor is on it, so that's an a*surance.

Good luck to all and I hope this info helped. Votes: +0

Too bad a plan like this has to be so expensive. After I read these articles, I am hyped-up, but then I think of the cost and go back to my normal plan which is trying to eat the right foods and being Type 2 makes it even harder. When I really cut down on my "type" of food intake, my glucose is very good, which means NO sugar and alot of other foods that I like and should not eat, so sometimes it is a no-win situation, but I keep trying.

I've been doing Medifast for 4 months. I've lost 52 pounds...quickly and easily. For my lean and green, I usually go to the local Mongolian Grill and get chicken and veggies. The best part of the program is that it breaks your addiction to food. I have to remind myself to have a "meal" every 2 to 3 hours because I'm never hungry. I think that one big motivater for me is the cost. It's about $300 a month. That keeps me on the program because I don't want to throw that kind of money out the door by cheating. All in all I would HIGHLY recommend this program... it works! Votes: +1

This comment is for Helen. Use your internet to go to their web-page. Everything you need to know is there! You can sign up for a free coach, look at all of the food items to choose from, find out about the lean green meal...you have to purchase that one! After perusing their site, I am amazed that they can charge $300 a month for bars, shakes, oatmeal, eggs (look at the nutritional information...eggs should just be eggs, not 30 ingredients)and pudding. No wonder they are a very wealthy company. I have lost 34 lbs. in 4 months by doing it the smart (and inexpensive)way which is by going hungry and eating lots of fruits and veggies, totally staying away from starches and limiting the amount of red meat I eat. Remember, there are no magic diets! Best of luck to all in your weight loss journey! Votes: +0

When you are on the Medifast plan, you should have a health coach to help you through the program. I started on the medifast plan 1 year ago and lost 20 lbs. I must say, I got tired of the food and went off the plan, but I have a very dedicated health coach that has continued to call me every other week. I am trying to get my motivation back to get back on the program, since it does work. You should also get discounts through your coach for the food which is 5% to 10% per month. They also have Nurses and Doctors calls every week to answer all your questions. Votes: +0
