If you are wanting to lose weight quickly and in the healthiest way possible, chose Medifast. The clinical researched diet was developed by a researcher at the John Hopkins University and shows its results almost instantly. The secret is Medifast’s 5-and-1 approach, where you enjoy 5 of Medifast’s meals (ranging from oatmeal or eggs to crunch bars, shakes or soups) and one lean and green meal prepared on your own. This allows you to have a set diet that is easy to follow, but a little diversity in there as well. The average person will lose 2-5 pounds a week following the Medifast Plan-that’s up to 20 pounds a month!
This is possible because while on this diet, your body is only consuming 800-1000 calories a day. These are good, full, nutritious calories-nothing empty that will leave you wanting more an hour or so later. Consuming so few calories allows your body to transist into a “mild ketosis” or simply, a fat burning state. The fat burning state is not harmful to your body and you will not lose muscle mass, it is just another way your body uses energy. Excersize does help keep the muscle mass on your body, so it should always be incorporated into any diet plan. Three to five days after you begin the Medifast program, your body should set into this mild ketosis state. You can recognize when you are reaching this by feeling less hungry, more energized and motivated.
Starting on the Medifast plan is as easy as a point and click. Go to www.medifast1.com to place your order. There you can view all the amazing plans that Medifast has for a quick and easy start up. There are choices for men, women, vegetarians and diabetics. They have variety packs as well to make shopping easy. Also, if you are worried about any kind of energy loss or overall health, they have the Omega 3 and Momentum line. There is really something for everyone.
Once you have placed your order, a good idea would be to sign up for medifast, you can create your own web page, which tracks your food intake, exercise and progress. There is also a message board where other “medifasters” come together to share stories, support and even recipes!
The most motivating part of this board would have to be the before and after photos, where actual members post their own pictures before starting the diet and now. It really shows that anyone can succeed on this program and if weight is needed to be lost, this is the best way to start.
