I know you just want the quick information that you need to get started. Although I don’t mind anyone sharing this information to friends and family legitimately interested in weight loss, no one is allowed to sell this material. But before I jump in, here are the coupon links in case that is what you were looking for. Remember to type in the correct code when you check out so that your savings is deducted.

I hope the information below helps.  Of course, I can’t guarantee any particular result, but this should give you a decent place to start (and the recipes are really the tip of the iceberg.

IV. Medifast Resources

Medifast is a very easy to follow diet program which encompasses small “Medifast Meals” (meal replacement products that are prepackaged for convenience) and one substantial healthful meal (called “lean and green”) that you prepare yourself. There is a HUGE selection of medifast meals that go beyond the bars and shakes. (Although the bars and shakes are really good). They offer puddings, crackers, lattes, cappuccinos, oatmeals, eggs, soup, chili, stew, etc. The typical weight loss rate is up to 2-4 lb per week for women or up to 5 lb per week for men. The typical cost is about $8-$10 per day, and this is usually brought down with coupons. (Available at the end of book). From my interviews with diets and my own experience, I’ve found that when you factor in how much you may be spending on eating out and on treats like lattes, most people will realize that they spend more than this on foods that are probably not conducive to weight loss in good health. Often in terms of both actual costs and health care savings, Medifast is actually saving you money. (affiliate disclosure)

How Does Medifast Work? You select a plan (women, men, diabetics) and typically you will chose a two to four week package. You can also add on any extras you think you’ll need. (Look at the Medifast blender if you don’t already have a high quality, heavy duty blender. As Medifast’s blender REALLY makes many of the items taste like thick, rich treats).  The package is usually shipped out quickly and from that package you built your meals.

Why Medifast Works Well: From all of the research that I have done, Medifast is so successful for a few reasons. First, the program is very easy to follow. You are given a large variety of “safe” choices, but there is no shopping, counting calories, adding points, tallying calories versus exercise, etc. You are also allowed to have a good bit of carbs and snacks and foods that make you feel like you are cheating when in fact, you’re quite safe. You are also given a lot of leeway on your lean and green meals, offering you further variety. Plus, the plan is ultra convenient. You can easily take the meals with you. And, it’s a great plan for busy people who don’t want to have to prepare or think about what they should eat. Because it’s so easy to follow, people stay on it and therefore get results. There is a John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health study which shows that participants on medifast lost twice as much weight and complied with the plan twice as long than those who were not on Medifast. You can read more about this here. (Affiliate disclosure)

Pros
Simple: Very little guesswork, preparation, shopping, etc. involved.
Effective: Typical weight loss is about 2 pounds per week.
Relatively Inexpensive: when compared to grocery bills and eating out
Very User Friendly: Support articles, chat rooms, and tips offered throughout the Medifast website.

Cons
If you are easily bored, you’ll have to do a little work to add variety to your lean and green meals and shift your “medifast meals” choices around to ensure you’re getting the variety you need. There are 70 choices available and there are also recipes to even get more out these choices so experiment so that you aren’t bored or get into a rut.

Further Thoughts: Medifast is extremely popular right now. With both Kristi Swanson and Genie Francis losing over 35 pounds each (and Kristi Swanson hitting a size 4 post baby) Medifast is a well known, brand that is known for being relatively easy, convenient, and effective.

II. How To Get The Most Out Of Medifast: Five Tips To Ensure Success

1. Make sure your attitude is in the right place before you start. Your attitude toward your weight loss will play a significant role in your success with Medifast. There are countless medical and psychological studies that prove your attitude dramatically effects your results. Go into any weight loss program feeling good that you are making a powerful, positive decision that will lasting effects on the outcome of your life. Don’t go in looking for a quick fix but a lifestyle improvement. Medifast is not all about numbers on a scale. It’s about feeling better, making positive changes and gaining more energy. It’s about making your own happiness, health, self care and well being as high a priority as pleasing others. Make you’re your attitude is heading in this direction before you start.

2. Plan well in advance. Medifast makes this diet really easy and convenient by providing most of your meals. However, Medifast unfortunately can’t make every decision. Think about what you’d like to eat the day before and at least portion it out and gather all of the ingredients you’ll need for your lean and green meal beforehand. (Bagged salads, prepacked stir fry veggies and the George Foreman grill can be a God send here). The reason for this is if you’re hurried, traveling, etc. you’ll be more apt to eat out or make poor choices if you haven’t already portioned out your meals and packed or prepared them. Don’t allow yourself to get in a situation where you’ll have to make an unfortunate decision and then feel regret or guilt later. The easiest way to avoid this is to make these decisions when you’re calm and in a good place. Each good day feeds on itself and is followed by more good days.

3. Feel free to personalize to enhance your experience. If you spend time in Medifast chat rooms, you’ll get WONDERFUL ideas about how you can personalize this plan. Here are just a few of the ideas I’ve picked up there: If you love Starbucks as many people do, put your Medifast latte or cappuccino into your old Starbucks cup or to go cup. Suddenly, you won’t feel as though you’re making a sacrifice. There are also countless recipes in the chat rooms and in the Medifast Recipe books that tell you how to take foods from the monthly packages and make them into something else. (Free Recipies at the end of this ebook). For example, the oatmeal can be used to make muffins or cookies. You can add sugar free flavorings to the shakes and fruit drinks to have a huge amount of variety. (Think chocolate, putter pecan, banana strawberry, etc.) You can add ice and flavorings to the fruit drink to make smoothies and thick shakes. You can add a variety of veggies to the scrambled eggs to make an omelet or quiche. Shaved ice with the sugar free syrup makes a darn good snow cone! The possibilities are endless. Feel free to play around with what you’re given so that you love your personal experience.

4. Incorporate fun physical activity: The average 2 pound weight loss, I’ve found in my research, does not typically incorporate an exercise program. Adding even a small amount of exercise can really kick up and speed up your weight loss, at least in my own experience. You don’t have to become a gym rat or a muscle head. Just think about what you activity you like doing and do it with more intensity and for longer. Gardening, walking, running around with your kids or loved ones, dancing, fixing or washing your car, etc are all forms of exercise if you put a little muscle and time behind them. You aren’t required to do exercises you don’t like. If you move more than you have been, I believe that you will more weight. You’ll be taking in less calories on Medifast and if you add burning more calories to the mix, in whatever way you wish, you are, in my view more likely to lose weight.  Keep in mind that I’m not an expert.  (Terms of service and affiliate disclosures)

5. Have fun with and on this plan: Simply put, no one is going to stay long term on any weight loss plan if they are having a miserable experience. Medifast offers a lively, supportive chat room on their website and lots of informative articles. If you need support, it is there for the taking. Don’t allow the quest for losing weight to rule your every thought. Knowing that you are making positive changes and following the plan is absolutely enough. Allow that to give you piece of mind. The way it is supposed to work is that by following the plan, you will see results, feed off of those results and the process will continue. But, it IS a process and it’s important that you enjoy the process and not become obsessed with the end result. The end result will come if you keep making the choices and actions to get there. It’s really that simple and there’s no need to over think it. The plan is designed to be easy, convenient and not to require a lot of hard work. So, follow the plan, get in more physical activity and enjoy your life. That’s the best advice I can give.

III. A Few Medifast Recipes

The recipes in this guide were developed using 55, 70 & Plus Supplement Shakes.

When preparing the Medifast Products, the following suggestions might be helpful to you:
1. Medifast tastes best when it is consumed immediately after preparation. Medifast may be consumed up to 24 hours after preparation if kept refrigerated.
2. Add water to blender (the Medifast HealthMate Blender works great) first then add Medifast Supplement
3. If you prefer to use a Fast-Shake Jar rather than a blender, increase the amount of water to 8ox and remove the ice cubes.
4. If you prefer using Medifast Original Supplements, you can still use these recipes. You may want to add a non-nutritive sweetener to taste.
5. If you prefer a slushy consistency, freeze the shake for 1 ½ to 2 hours and blend or stir.

The combination of Caffeine and EGCG found in three (3) Momentum products has been clinically shown to have the maximum effect on inducing thermogenesis which is basically “turning up the heat” on weight loss.

If you’re on the five plus one plan, you can consume any combination of a total of three Momentum by Medifast! products daily.

There are a couple of choices here – there are three momentum medifast meals (banana creme shake, latte, and cappuccino) and three momentum flavor infusers (green tea, strawberry lemonade, and mixed berry). These taste a lot like crystal light. The momentum meals taste mostly like the originals.

One of the pages that I used to visit a lot from the medifast website was genie’s blog.  She used to list sample menus and it really helped me a lot.   (Note: this was before they had the pancakes, brownies, and ice cream.) You check out the Medifast Official Site for specifics, but below, I’ll summarize five days of her meals.  Notice that she switches out the time of her lean and green meals a lot.  (She doesn’t have it for dinner every day.) I also like how she mixes the shakes with coffee and the fruit drinks with tea.

Sample Day 1: medifast shake mixed with coffee; medifast apple cinnamon oatmeal;  medifast chicken and rice soup;  medifast caramel bar;  lean and green meal of steamed lobster with zucchini and mixed salad; and medifast banana pudding.

Sample Day 2: medifast scrambled eggs; medifast chai latte;  medifast beef veggie soup;  medifast dutch chocolate shake;  a lean and green salmon stir fry; and medifast raspberry iced tea.

Sample Day 3: medifast hot cocoa; lean and green meal at breakfast this time (omelet of eggs, bell pepper, spinach and green olives);  medifast strawberry crème shake; medifast oatmeal raisin bar; medifast crab soup for dinner (instead of a lean and green;)  medifast orange crème shake which has been frozen to take on the consistency of sherbert.

Sample Day 4: medifast blueberry oatmeal; medifast banana crème shake; a lean and green lunch of grilled chicken, spinach and bell peppers and salad; medifast cranberry mango drink (mixed with tea,)  medifast ready-to-drink shake, and medifast caramel nut bar.

Sample Day 5: medifast cappuccino; medifast fruit & nut granola bar; medifast homestyle chili; medifast peach iced tea;  a lean & green meal of a turkey burger with lettuce for a bun with tomato and green beans.

The study worked with 112 overweight or obese people with type 2 diabetes, and compared the results of two different (but equal-calorie) weight loss approaches, the Medifast Program and a traditional reduced-calorie diet based on the ADA recommended dietary guidelines.

According to the results:

Participants randomly chosen to receive Medifast lost twice as much weight and were twice as willing to stay with the program as participants following the standard ADA diet.

Approximately 40 percent of the Medifast participants lost more than 5 percent of their initial weight, compared with only 12 percent of those on the standard ADA diet.

Additionally, 24 percent of the Medifast users decreased or eliminated their diabetes medication, compared to 0 percent on the standard ADA diet.

The study results suggest that meal replacements such as Medifast’s may be as effective for weight loss in diabetics as bariatric surgery, and with less risk of illness, injury, or death.

The study has been published in the January/February 2008 issue of The Diabetes Educator, the peer-reviewed journal is the official journal of the American Association of Diabetes Educators.

For more than 25 years Medifast has been prescribed by practitioners as a safe and effective program that yields significant results and has been proven to provide significant weight loss of 2-5 pounds per week.
