Replacement Shakes For Weight Loss
Has anyone tried Medifast weight loss plan (shakes, replacement meals)?
If so, how did it work for you? I have been thinking about it because I can’t take supplements anymore and I need to really get some xtra poundage off. I know I need to exercise, I have got that part worked out already. I just need help with appetite control. If you’ve tried Medifast, please let me know how it worked. Thanks!
Hi there 
I’ve done Medifast so thought I’d throw my 2 cents in. It is a strict plan and in my honest opinion. hard to stay with for the long haul, but if you can put your mind to it, it works wonderfully! I started back in January, and am currently in the “struggling” stage. I have good days and bad days, but I firmly believe this is a healthy way to learn how to eat better, and to maintain better health for the long term. For most of us, it just comes down to the food…some people are able to start the plan and stick to it like glue until they’re done, but for most of us the road is a bit longer, filled with lots of ups and downs. If only they would just quit making doughnuts…(sigh). How much you can expect to lose depends generally on how much you have to lose overall. The more weight you need to lose, the quicker it comes off. I lost 5 lbs. my first week, and averaged 2-3 lbs. per week after that (I overall wanted to lose 83 lbs.). As you go down in weight, it will start to slow down, but on weeks where the scale doesn’t show much progress you may find you’re still continuing to lose inches.
I am 38 and have high blood pressure. Within 5 weeks of starting the plan, I was able to quit taking my blood pressure medicine and cannot even tell you how much better I physically felt. A few things that are important to remember while on this plan is that due to being in a mild state of ketosis (fat burning stage), you MUST keep your carbs under a certain amount each day (100 grams). If you go over this amount, you will feel awful, and essentially will have to start all over again. Those first three days of detoxing your body off of all the food it doesn’t need are not a lot fun, and even less fun to go through more than once. A lot of people report headaches, some nausea, general feelings of sickness for those first three days. I was quite tired, but that was the worst of it for me.
The Medifast website is an awesome resource for getting to know other folks who are also on plan. You can also find a lot of great recipes here, track what you’re eating everyday, etc. You are not required to actually purchase Medifast in order to access this site. If you’re seriously considering the plan, I’d join the site and take a look around and meet some of the people currently on the plan. There are a lot of great guys and gals here, loaded with friendly advice. Take Shape For Life, which is a division of Medifast, can also provide you with a free health coach, which is someone who will keep in touch with you on your journey to help guide you along and provide encouragement. This person will generally get you started and remain in contact with you daily for the first three days, then weekly after that, although they are always available at any time should you need to talk, have a question, desire a pep talk, etc. My Doctor recommended Medifast to me, and I joined through Take Shape For Life, with a health coach, who, bless her heart, still has faith in me after all these months.
I’m including a link to the Medifast website below – I hope this information helps and I wish you the best of luck in your journey to better health
