Medi Weightloss

beejolly1 · October 2018

Is anyone here fing Medi Weightloss? I just finished my first week and didn't lose a darn pound! I'm so frustrated because i'm doing the plan exactly how it says to do it. I've read so many reviews and seen videos about people losing anywhere from 4 to 10 pounds the first week. I haven't seen anything about people not losing at all! Why?!?!?! This is too much money if i'm wasting my time!!!

What does it even tell you to do? Everything on their website is so vague. Did you log your food on here too?

Do their plan exactly and you won't lose an ounce if their plan has you consuming calories at maintenance or above.

How did you calorie tracking go? Were you in deficit?

MsBaz2018 · November 2018

@beejolly1 of course they won't show people who haven't lost.

How much do you have to lose anyway?

Runaroundafieldx2 · November 2018

Stay away from any diet with a name or you have to buy.

Eat less calories than you burn

you are wasting your time (and money), just log your food, and eat in a calorie deficit if you want to lose weight.

eat some fruit and veg, cos health, and do some exercise that you enjoy, again cos health.

I started Medi on Jan 1. Best thing i ever did. In 23 days down 19lbs! I use My Fitness Pal to log food intake and to stay within my Calories and Protein intake. The Vitamins, Appetite Suppresant and the B12, B6 shots are great too. I also go to OrangeTheory 3-4 times a week. I think its different for everyone. Its just finding what works for you.

just stay here on MFP and it wont cost you a single penny.

learn how to weigh and log your food accurately. youll be happier, find better success and have more money in your bank account.

How is that even possible: 19lbs in 23 days?
19lbs = 66500kcal eaten below maintenance in 23 days
= 2891kcal deficit per day.

I don't think that's even possible for someone morbidliest obese

If you're just obese and your TDEE might be around 3000kcal then you've basically not eaten anything in 23 days to get this loss. So think again before you're peddling some woo.

morbidliest?

Yeah, it's possible. VLCD's cause even larger losses in water than small deficits. I hate to sound cliche, but it was mostly water weight loss. I lost 13 pounds my first week on Weight Watchers.

Unfortunately, weight loss doesn't happen on a schedule, and any product someone is trying to sell is only going to advertise the absolute best case scenario. If you are eating at a calorie deficit, you will lose weight over time, but water weight and digestion fluctuations can sometimes cover up fat loss on the scale for a week here or there. If this diet is a drastic change in the foods you eat, if you are at a particular point in your hormonal cycle, or if you changed your workout - any of those things might have caused you to gain water weight this week, and will even out shortly.

Medi will work if it is keeping you in a calorie deficit, but so would any other way of eating. If you decide to continue on it, just make sure you have a plan for how to eat once you are done with their program, otherwise you'll be at risk of gaining it all back when you go back to your old way of eating.

Easy Yiyara, im not trying to sell anything, just commenting on the original comment and you dont know me and my history. I was eating terrible, probalby 3500 calories a day, Soda, IPA's and snacks. I had no portion control. I started this and gave up all Soda, Beer, and followed the Plan. I work out at Orangetheory 4 days a week, each class burning 950-1000 calories. I am not starving myself and feel amazing. Each person is different. I have averages 5lbs to 6lbs lose a week. Yes i drink 160oz a water a day, so some may be water weight. Best of luck in your journey.

With the exception of the very obese, someone losing 5-6 pounds a week *is* starving themselves even if they aren't yet experiencing the physical effects. Please don't recommend this plan to others, it doesn't sound safe or sustainable.

Plus, you said above that you were taking an appetite suppressant. If this is truly an appetite suppressant, that is going to be a factor in your lack of hunger and another sign that this is not a safe or sustainable program.

I am doing Medi Weight Loss, but I am modifying their program to be less extreme. I opt out of their shots, pills, and appetite suppressants. Sure, I could do the same thing on MFP for free, but I've found through my own experience that I don't stick with it without the in-person accountability. Basically I am paying for the accountability of someone putting me on the scale each week. WW is cheaper but doesn't have the same value, since the weigh-ins are impersonal. At Medi, they do a weekly weigh-in and blood pressure read, plus a waist measurement once a month. I also get a weekly face-to-face with a nurse practitioner about how the program is working/not-working.

I did do the program close to "as-written" for week 1 and lost 10 pounds. That was too much too fast for me. I don't want to lose weight fast, I want to lose it once. I incorporate a lot more food and carbs than they recommend, but I'm happy to go slow and steady.

Has anyone used MyFitnessPal with Medi Weightloss? We signed up this week and would love to use it with MyFitnessPal. What settings do you need to change? Anything?
