Well I just received my 1st order yesterday. My coworker let me try some of her stuff prior to placing my order. I've try spicy cheesy pasta, pretzel twist, creamy cheesecake, crispy fudge and graham bar and milk chocolate crunches.

Like Medifast some of it is really good and some it so so. I poured over the nutritional value of all the items I actually purchased because a lot of their stuff has higher sodium and carbs. I made sure I was buying items that are very comparable to Medifast items. Plus I wanted to add some variety to my diets. Especially on the salty snack front. I brought chips, pretzel etc. They have other brands too on diet direct. As long as you watch your calories, carbs etc and I don't think it matter too much what brands you eat.

I agree. I have a friend who ordered what she thought was similar products but keep in mind all the research and time it took for MF to make these products just "perfect" for what the body needs in this process. My friend was able to keep the carbs and was a little light on the protein with other products but the money she was saving not buying MF, she certainly spent on the vitamin portions. Make sure that you look at the vitamin/mineral and sodium content of the food you are replacing because these are just as essential as the carbs/protein fats etc... btw, my friend when back to MF after the dollars on quality vitamins she was forking out to supplement.,,
