I've been on the Medifast Diet for over 5 weeks and I have lost 19.5 pounds. It's far easier than any diet I've ever tried, and I'm learning far more about healthy eating than I thought possible. According to the BMI index, I'm considered obese and my health issues (feet/back) forced me to take action to reduce the strain on my body. I chose Medifast because of it's popularity and because I had never tried a meal replacement diet before. Although I'm still in the weight loss stage, I have no doubts whatsoever that I will be successful in transitioning to their maintenance plan.

Great review…I have heard mixed opinions about Medifast, but most of them were positive. People I have talked to said that they have reached their target weight. I do not know if they were able to maintain it for an extended period, I hope so. Some people apparently like the simplicity of ready to eat/drink meals.

hi all...since reading all the commentary about Medifast, I called my GP and got his approval...then...I've ordered a 2 week program (comes with a free week...so really 3) and extra products to go for the 4 week program. It sounds like exactly what I need...SIMPLE! No thought process. There's something to eat every 2 hours then have my normal meal at night. (currently all I eat for dinner is a small piece of whatever meat my hubby is having as a condiment and a couple cups of some kind of veggie and fruit. Thanks for this topic...I'm really juiced to do this. love and peace...lynnann ps...I did lose many pounds on Atkins...so I know that lo-carb is good for me, but it was still to high in calories and it was not strict enough for me. I've gained several of the lbs back since then. I know that when I get to my goal weight..I will be able to maintain it easily...it's the jump starting my metabolism that seems to be the problem.
