Medifast diet

Anyone know anything about the Medifast diet? My BIL had a coworker who was on it for three months and he said she lost about 35 lbs... my sister wants to try it...I dont think 35 lbs in three months is very realistic...opinions? feedback.. anyone tried it before?

I have heard about it too but it would never work for me. I hate food that comes from mail. I would rather make these packages myself. Its just portion control.

As soon as you eat real food you gain..

looked it up and it seems like you have to phase back slowly into eating other stuff and just cuz teh weight is lost does not mean that ppl go back to the old eating habits which led them to medifast to begin with.

found an interesting blog. results are nothing short of amazing

^Wow that's really amazing! He looks like a whole new person!

35 lbs in 3 months means about 3lb/week, which is bad! It shouldnt exceed 1lb/week.

or half a new person?

and not just in size but in age as well

honestly speaking if the old him and new him were hanging together, I would think they are father and son

yeahhh you're so right... it really is miraculous....

I was just googling and found that it's not just one unique case... they have other such success stories on the Medifast official website

My sister's been on this diet for about 4 weeks now and already lost 11 lbs.

Could you share some highlights of this program Riya? Thanks. I know we can go to the website, but some personal how to dos and testimonials please.

Sounds quite apealing.
Is it halal ?

WEll its like those other programs where you could order meals and basically it teaches you to eat right. My sister however only used the shakes, and those worked as meal replacements for her. In the morning she had one shake usually between 7 and 8 am... then a light lunch around 11 am compromising mostly of raw greens and a yogurt... sometimes chicken breast...snacks were unsalted lowfat saltines.... fresh fruit around 2 pm.... in the afternoon she had a regular khaana... we're talking biryaanis and all that greasy stuff.... she didnt hold back on that.... dinner was the shake... and an hour after dinner she would just drink milk and sleep.

Ill update back in a couple months.

So basically, it's one regular meal and others are replaced by their stuff such as shakes. Doesn't sound too hard

you can do that with slimfast too...
and they have an online tracker which is really helpful

i was on a similar diet and lost 8kg in 5 weeks... and ive been able to keep the weight off. But you really just need to control your portions.. and change your eating habits. That's all
