Yes, I really am!

I'm doing true 85% (+ sometimes) target HR, HIIT 4-5 days a week at a professional place that does this type of training exclusively. I am eating more now than ever because I am famished all the time and I am actually gaining some weight when I need to lose. It's been six weeks and I decided to take a week off due to some…

Hello, I am following this starting today and have experimented with fasting in the past. This may sound like a dumb question as I tend to overthink things (badly!). If you are filling a plate and say you are having a large green salad that is virtually very little calories but yet fills the plate, and then the next day…

Lame. Is this a nutrition site of a dating site? People really are desperate.

"Nobody has answered my question--what is the difference between eating 1300 calories of food and consuming 1300 calories of the Medifast products? I mean, it's the same amount of calories, so you'll lose weight at the same rate." It's about the "balance" they use in the packaging. What Medifast would tell you is that each…

Hey Thanks for sharing that calculator, that is the best one I have seen yet.

Hi, I've been using this one for about a week now: https://www.shoppolar.com/accessories//p-92044305 and it works great. It may feel a little awkward at first (strapping it on your chest) but a few days of it you get used to it. It appears to be pretty accurate as well. It syncs with the Polar app you can download on your…

I've been on low carb and fad diets off and on forever it seems. Everyone is different but I have a really hard time on very low carb. Ketosis is no friend of mine. It impacts my sleep and even my heart rhythm so much, it's kinda scary. I don't think major Ketosis is tolerated well by everyone so I basically eat between…

\ You look awesome, good for you! That is basically it for me as well. Lots of exercise and no fad/low carb/starvation diets anymore. Just calories in/calories out. You look like you have age on your side and let me give you some unsolicited advice; it is so much harder to get off 90 pounds (in my case) when you are…

Glad I could help :) Do what works for you. This works for me but again, I get conflicting messages from my doctors - both my MD and my Naturopathic who hate this plan and are dead set against it. To be fair, I never transitioned to the next phase so I can't blame Medifast for my weight gain, that was my fault.

Nancy, what do you do if your doctor is anti-Medifast? I recently started going to a Naturopathic who has done wonders at getting my system in order. From what supplements I need (Had a full comprehensive metabolic testing done) to balancing my hormone issues. He said based upon my prescription that the large amounts of…

This woman at the gym counter several years ago when I was joining and had to get my photo ID for their system taken: She said "Say SKINNY!" (instead of cheese). I thought that was such an *kitten* comment to make but took me completely off guard. More recently, an older man at the gym looked at me one day and said: "If…

I was going to suggest the same thing. Wheat allergy here so I cut it out - that and sugar and I dropped 21 pounds in 20 days. I was so sensitive to wheat I was told that it was making my blood sugar spike constantly. I ended up cutting carbs down to below 30 as well.
-
I tested positive to wheat through an actual blood test. I was having a hard time losing weight and what I discovered was if you have a wheat allergy your system stays "inflamed" - wheat is an inflammatory which can cause people to struggle with weight loss and not from just the added calories but it wreaks havoc on your…

"So to circle all the way back to your question; yes of course you. If you eat less carbs, yes you will retain less water, your "fat" loss will progress more smoothly in a visible sense on the scale and in general fluctuations in weight a person goes through just in a day, but it all breaks down to calories in versus…

It works if you stick to it. :) I just finished week 1 (after being off of it for 3 months - big mistake!) and lost 13.4 pounds in 7 days. The first time I was on Medifast was middle of last year and I lost 45 pounds in 2 1/2 months. I then proceeded to go off plan for the past 3 months because I got overconfident and…
