Consumer Reports Review of the

MediFast 5&1 Plan

What Real MediFast Customers are saying:

I’ve been on MediFast for almost 9 months and I’ve lost 110 pounds. After reading some of the reviews below, keep in mind most of negative reviews didn’t follow the plan. The most common error I read was “salad for dinner” and 500 calories per day. This is incorrect. The “real food” meal is once a day and a large quantity of food. It’s called the “Lean and Green” meal is 1 large portion of meat/protein and 3 servings of low carb veggies and this brings your daily calorie intake to 800-1000. If you’re on the fence about a meal-replacement plan, Medifast is a NO BRAINER! Commit to the plan for 4 weeks and be prepared to be amazed!

I lost 65 pounds in 8 months. After many failed attempts at dieting and combos of diet and exercise I decided to go with guerilla tactics and put myself on a meal replacement diet plan. This definitely takes all the guesswork and most of the pre-planning out of losing weight which was certainly a plus for my lifestyle which is fraught with unplanned events and frequent schedule changes. The key to success is personal commitment.

I have used Medifast in the past and lost 20 pounds (I would have lost more, but then had to stop because I got pregnant). Anyways, I have just started doing it again last Monday (11 days ago) I have lost 9.5 pounds in this time. I do not follow the diet strictly to the letter, so I may have even better results if I did. For example, I had a greek salad for dinner at a restaurant the other night. I did eat the cheese and used the regular dressing, but not much of it. So in my opinion, it works. It does take a couple of days to get used to the plan and the shakes. I have found the vanilla and chocolate shakes are the best when I add some de-caf instant coffee to them- then they taste more like a iced mocha or something. Some of the oatmeals and bars are pretty good.
Actual user review on answers.yahoo.com

The Medifast diet has showed some very promising results in helping people lose weight.

A John Hopkins University study suggests that the Medifast plan helps participants quickly and safely lose weight by decreasing the amount of calories consumed. The study also suggests that participants with Type 2 Diabetes lost 2x that of individuals adhering to the American Diabetes Association’s recommendation. Additionally, Medifast shows results in participants with other illnesses, like hypertension. .”

“THE MEDIFAST PROGRAM
Medifast is physician supervised program available with unlimited counseling and regular physical exams.
This program can work for anyone..if you need to loose 10 to 100+ pounds! It is packed with vitamins, minerals and has a main ingredient of the ‘super-health-food’ soy.
I feel that it is especially helpful for those that have developed a disorder with food or are obese.

MY STORY
When you have totally lost sight of how food is utilized in your life, then this is the perfect way to step ‘out’ of your situation and relearn how and why to eat like a normal human being. For years food has been my best friend (and enemy)..I used it to stuff away my feelings. I kept complaining about not having any emotions…that I couldn’t feel love anymore..or true pain…because I ATE AWAY all those emotions. I am learning that food is a fuel to help our bodies stay alive and that it is a privilege to be able to actually enjoy the taste of food along with keeping a healthy lifestyle.

PERMANENT WEIGHT LOSS?
You always hear that MEDIFAST will inevitably cause you to gain your weight back. This is true for ANY weight loss program. Let’s stick to reality here. If WE do not remain steadfast and committed in taking care of our bodies then yes..of course..the weight will come back. Only with exercise, education about nutrition and a love of life can we stay at a healthy weight. Medifast does work for those who decide to work with IT.”

MediFast 5&1 Plan Overall:

(Overall Score – Not an Average)

The Medifast Diet works, but it needs some serious commitment on your side. If you need to lose a great amount of weight and can’t exercise. the MediFAst program should be worth a try. If you are only slightly overweight or don’t like meal replacements a program like Fat Loss 4 Idiots or similar might be the better choice. Only available for US customers if you want to buy from the official website. International customers have to refrain to other sources (like eBay)
