Medifast Diet Reviews

by Jonathan

medifast imageThe Medifast Diet is one of the most successful weight loss plans in the world. This is a low calorie weight loss plan and the reported results are that you can lose 2-5 pounds each and every week.

It is one of the very few weight loss plans which has been clinically tested. In Studies conducted by researchers from John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, the diet proved to produce a massive weight loss in many of the men and women combined.

Medifast is a meal replacement plan. You order specially designed meal replacement packages which are delivered to your home. There is a lot of variety of packages available accommodating people with different needs like diabetics and the like. This makes Medifast a low hassle plan since all you need to do is simply get the meal replacement packages and eat according the plan.

The Medifast 5 and 1 Plan

Medifast requires eating regularly throughout the day. This is often called ‘grazing’: you eat small amounts every 2-3 hours. 5 of the meals/snacks are made up of the packages which you order from Medi fast and the 6th meal is up to you to make. This 6th meal (which you can eat any time you want during the day) is called the ‘lean and green’ meal because it is made up of a small amount of lean meat (there are replacements for vegetarians) and a salad. During each day, you need to drink 64oz of water at the very least.

The daily calorie consumption is 800-1000 calories in total. This is a low calorie diet, the kind of which I often don’t recommend, but as this diet has been proven, clinically, to work, I make an exception in this case.

There is a great variey of food in the Medifast diet. There are over 70 different pre-packaged meal replacement items and you can find something you like very easily. The diet makes sure to include a healthy amount of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients to make sure the diet is healthy although it is low in calories.

Once you lose the weight you wanted to shed, there is a maintenance stage in which you gradually go back to eating ‘normally’. However, the Medifast diet recommends that you continue eating a few Medifast products on a regular basis to make sure the weight stays off.

Medifast Diet Pros and Cons

Pros:

  • Clinically proven to work
  • Can help you lose a lot of weight
  • Doesn’t require a lot of cooking or hassle
  • Has worked for many people who have 30+ pounds to lose
  • Medifast Has a lot of great testimonials by men and women

Cons:

  • Can become a bit pricey
  • The first 2 weeks may be difficult because you need to change your eating habits
  • Doesn’t have the right focus on exercise and fitness.

In Conclusion

Medifast is a weight loss plan which was made primarily for people who have a lot of weight to lose. I don’t recommend it for people with 5-10 pounds to shed. However, if you do have a lot of weight to lose, then this diet can indeed prove very helpful.

Note: It should be noted that this is a weight loss plan and is not used to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease

The biggest problem with this diet is that it is mainly chemicals that you are eating. It is full of MSG. I had major migraines from this diet plan as I am highly allergic to MSG. The food also is just plain nasty.
