Medifast Diet Review #19 by Nikki on March 3rd, 2009 at 9:45 AM CST

Name

I’m a 4O year old female with MS who has been on every diet you can think of since a child. Two years ago I had lost 100 lbs on Optifast along with prescribed diet medication and was doing awesome… even joined a Roller Derby team! Sadly I had a Breast Cancer scare, surgery then an MS flair up, stopped skating, stopped dieting, got depressed and gained it all back all in one year’s time. I just started the Medifast plan on 2/26/09, today is day 6 and I have lost 7 lbs. The first day was hard but each day gets a little easer. Incredibly I am not hungry and do not feel the need for diet meds. I also have more energy then I have had in months. I admit I hate the oatmeal but the bars and shakes are great. So far I like this plan better then the last one. The only thing I really miss is cheese, it’s my downfall and I ate it every day. My starting weight was 281, size 26-28 and my overall goal is 150 but I hope to be down to 200 by June. For me 200 is a size 18. At that weight at least im active and am not intimated to leave my house. I will check back in then to update you all. If you would like to contact me post a blurb with your e-mail address and I will contact you. Nikki

I am a health coach and what I do is help others by being there for support, giving tips, and tricks and recepies. They have what is called a 5 & 1 program you eat six small meals a day... 5 meals are foods provided by medifast 1 meal is a lean meat and 3servings of veggies I absolutely love it and it costs about $10 a day. Everything is portioned for you all the nutrients and vitamins are in the foods so there is no need to take and pills with the diet. It took a couple days of getting used to but I love it and I am down 23lbs.. and I barely even exercise.. hmmm speaking of which I should probably do that... But they stress not to work out more than 45 min a day. like I said I barely workout... my job is somewhat physical. A lot of the food is soy based so if you never had soy before that takes some getting used to. Some people love soy, others hate soy. I like certain food while hating others... They is a large variety of food. but the basics are Soups, Shakes, Pudding, Crunch Bars, Oatmeal, Fruit drinks, and eggs. There is a large variety of flavors and then of course you also get to eat lean meat and veggies too. this is just a basic rundown. If you would like more info e-mail me at lose2win219@aol.com

I just started the Medifast program yesterday. I am 140 lbs. and hope to go down to 125 BUT the real reason I am on this program is because I got some shocking news about my too-high triglycerides and my too-low HDLs. Has anyone had their blood drawn before and then compared their blood after? I'd really like to know about the inside changes and not quite so much the outside appearances... Anyone?
