I was on this diet for 3 months. Started at 324 and now i am down to 279. I have stopped eating their food since december and have not gained a pound, but have been slowly losing it. people portion control and staying active is the key. Not some miracle diet. Or it could be the fact that im 19 and all medifast did was kickstart my metabolism and teach me some portion control. Who knows?lol Rofl. I was on this diet for 3 months.

I went on this diet and lost 30lbs slowly and STILL my gallbladder shut down and stopped working. For all those who have been on the Medifast Diet and have lost a lot of weight, go get a HIDA Scan done to check your gallbladder function. Mine was working fine until I went on this diet and lost weight, then the gallbladder function plummeted to working at 100% down to 6% then had to have surgery. PLEASE, go get that gallbladder function test done after losing large amounts of weight to make sure your gallbladder is still functioning!!!!! Be very careful.

Those of us with weight problems will likely struggle for the rest of our lives. Your more or less have to stay on a diet permanently. Losing weight quickly makes you feel good and keeps you motivated. Once you get past the first week you feel great. I eliminated all my stomach problems and was in a great mood most of the time. I didn't exercise but will try to this time. you can gain the weight back but this is true with all diets. Those of us with weight problems will likely struggle for the rest of our lives.

I love the scrambled eggs, with a lil bit of pepper and salsa (but you have to whisk them before cooking not only mix with a fork), same for the chocolate pudding...whisk well, and plaze in the freezer not the fridge for 30 minutes, so creamy and delicious! My fav shakes are the whey protein ones, like the dark chocolate shake, I add ice, and a tbsp of Black Cherry sugar free syrup (which you are allowed to) and blend it, super yummie, my coworker tried it and she said she would drink it without being on the plan! I also like the Cinnamon apple oat meal, I add a little brown sugar splenda and a bit of cinnamon powder...very good. The trick with the soups is to let thme soak... at least 30 minutes. My favorite soup is the Wild rice, I add a bit of Tabasco and black pepper...wonderful and filling! You have to stick to the plan EXACTELY...no piece of fruit here and there and no cheating, it is not good to take your body in and out of the mild kitosis Medifast puts you in. Bottom line I think ANY DIET works if you follow it...but is not a diet is a LIFE STYLE CHANGE. You re-learn how to eat and what a portion is really suppose to be. No miracle, nothing will work, not even surgery, if you go back to your old habits! Good luck to you! I LOVE LOVE LOVE Medifast, I think the food is actually very decent for diet food.

Pros: Lost 2.5 # average Cons: Food is not that great and is very expensive. Medifast Staff is rude. Can not even have fruit or high carb veggies like peas. So it is hard to follow for more than a couple of months. Weight gained back very quickly even following up with a low calorie plan. It must have something to do with maintaining low carbs or starting to eat carbs slowly. There is no mercy with this plan. You follow it exactly or you GAIN weight. No middle grounds. Can not workout any more than 45 minutes a day or you will not loose weight. If you have to loose a lot of weight fast, go for it. But be very careful coming off or you will gain more than you lost. Medifast pros and cons.
