I'm a yo-yo dieter who last lost weight 11 years ago on Optifast. I gained about 10 pounds a year until I had nearly 90 pounds of excess weight. The thought of going on a diet and losing 1-2 pounds a week, taking a year or more to lose it just was too...
Pros: An answer when reality is foggy and out of control..this program (not diet) is do-able!! Cons: You really miss your codependent friend..food (AT FIRST).

Nov. 27: It is the Monday after Thanksgiving. I did eat like the rest of the family for 3 days, including desserts. I just didn't have 2nd helpings on anything. When I weighed this morning I had hit the 10 lb. mark!! YEA!
Starting back on the...
Pros: It's foolproof. The weight drops off. I'm not hungry and don't have any cravings. Cons: The cream soups don't taste good.
I've been using Medifast for a month now, and have lost 14 pounds. It's easy to use. It took a few days to get used to the food. However, I add my allowed vegetables to the minestrone soup, and it actually tastes great. The eggs are actually ...
Pros: It works, not hungry,easy to use, especially away from home, food is really good Cons: Mostly soft / liquid foods, but worth the sacrifice.
For anyone who is not sure to try it, believe me, IT WORKS!!!! I have tried every diet under the sun with no success more than a week or two. SO, I tried medifast, why not, I haven't tried it before, so I gave it a shot. I have lost 16 pounds in the ...

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 ...
Pros: Easy to follow, easy to buy, see results quickly, medically sound. Cons: some adjustments to past eating habits.
I began Medifast two weeks ago after much research which included epinions! Also, two people I new have successfully used it (I didn't know that was how they lost the weight until I asked if they had ever heard of Medifast). The Medifast MODIFIED PLAN ...

My name is Pat McGinty and I lives in Washington State. I am 5'3" tall and very small framed, but by Spring of 2004 I weighed in at a whopping 180 pounds. In 2003 I had worked with a nutritionist on a program that was supposed to be a balanced diet of ...
Pros: Great diet as long as you stay with it and don't stray from it. Cons: Great weight gain IF you go off it without a transition period.
I have found this to be exactly like the Lindora program. I can remember being on the Lindora, years ago, and the idea was EXACTLY the same. Matter of fact, I thought perhaps Medifast had some sort of tie-in with Lindora ... What's amazing, is, you ...
Pros: Quick, motivating weight loss Cons: rough first few days, bad breath, missing old crutch...food.
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 ...
Pros: Effective if you stick with it, tastes great! Cons: Very strict, hard for those with big appetites and who eat large portions of food

I have been following the Medifast VLCD for exactly seven days and I must tell you that I love it. I am in the "extremely obese" category according to my stats (5'4" and 315 pounds) and although I have successfully lost about 40 pounds with other diet ...
Pros: No wiggle room that can lead to failure. WORKS. Satisfies. Cons: Very little actual food, which may be a problem for some.
I would like to start with an explanation of the prefix "medi"(the reviewer below seemed confused by it) which is simply the first few letters of the word "medical". Medical, because the supplements in this program meet nutritional standards at a ...

As of today, I have lost 28 pounds in 8 weeks on the Medifast Diet program and have 57 more pounds to lose to reach my goal. If I can do it, anyone can. I've tried every diet known to mankind for 30 years including the Atkins Diet. None of them can ...
Pros: Good food Easy to do Not hungry WORKS! Cons: None
When I started the program I was 305 lbs. I cut out most sugars, slowed down on the carbs, and I still was not losing weight. My sister lost a bunch of weight (and is not even recognizable anymore!) and has kept it off after she left the program. My mom ...
