| dede4wd's Full Review: MediFast Plus Weight Loss Program |
I've tried everything out there. I needed a blueprint, something to follow step-by-step, I needed someone to e-mail/call with questions, concerns and suggestions. I got all of that with Medifast and its subsidiary Take Shape for Life.
I did the program (not diet) no deviations, no cheating, no excuses. I lost 26.4lbs in one month and 40.5 in two! I have more energy, my sleep problems are gone, my skin looks better. All of this from some decent nutrition? Wow! I continue my program now, over 1/2 way to my goal.
I found a subsidiary of Medifast called Take Shape for Life that offers discount coupons, and a personal health coach that I could e-mail or call with questions, comments, concerns and success stories. This has been invaluable to me! I now have to be reminded to eat my meals (I eat 6 times a day...5 Medifast meals and one real meal consisting of meat & veggies). I am NEVER hungry, have tons of energy and am losing weight faster than I ever have before!
I finally found something that works so well, I don't WANT to cheat! Talk to your doc, see what they think. I LOVE this program. My doc is happy with my weight loss and blood test results. I am THRILLED!
Do the meals taste bad? No, they aren't chocolate cake or chili cheese fries, they're definitely diet food, but the taste is fine to me. I don't doctor anything up. As one of my friends said, "I'd eat cat poop to get these kinds of results!" Cat poop it's not, they're just nutritious, low calorie meals.
This program has helped me go from emotional eating where I thought my food was a friend or a crutch to thinking food is fuel, plain and simple and I don't think any more about it than I do about what I put in my car.
Is it expensive? Not for me. For me it works out to $10 a day a couple for a meat and veggies meal. It is way less than I was spending on fast food and snacks at a convenience store!
I am a different person. Before I was sad and depressed, not wanting to go out in public because I thought of myself as the fattest person around. Now I'm out and about and enjoying my life!
I have just finished my 3rd month on the program and I am down 53lbs! I just started getting a little bored with the food choices, so I ordered some different things I haven't tried before and hope that helps as I push towards my goal.
As a note...since I'm so impressed with the product and what it has done to improve my life, I have become a certified health advisor for the company, because I want to help people succeed on the program. I don't sell the product as much as support, advise, coach, give helpful tips and cheerlead for people so they can win on the program as I have. I had so much success on this program that I wanted to be able to help others do the same...no other reason. I do represent the product now because I'm such a believer. Heck, now I'm a walking (running, actually) billboard for the program working if you stick to it!
Whether or not you think that affects the validity of the above review is up to you.
