Every Single Thing You Need to Know About Medifast
As many of you know I am in the process of a life redo. And, for those of you who know me (via this blog or via the football field), you know that I am the master of disaster when it comes to those. I makeover my life often (I love makeovers and also, I need to). Restart, reimagine, redo, resolve. That’s me. I’m basically a walking, talking, booty shakin’, cookie bakin’, always smiling work in progress.
I figure I won’t be done with building my awesome until I’m dead. Until then, make, remake, and make again. That is why I decided to make Medifast a part of my life. Again. I get tons of questions about my weight loss and the program I use so I thought I’d take a few moments to answer…

My Experience with Aging, Weight, and Medifast
The important part of the plan — which I didn’t understand at first — is not how much you eat but how you spread those meals out throughout the day. Generally speaking, you need 2 to 3 hours between meals. I try to eat at 6 AM, 9 AM, noon, 3 PM, 6 PM, and 9 PM.

US News Best Diets
Most Medifast dieters use the Medifast 5 & 1 Plan. It provides six meals a day, five of them 100-calorie Medifast products – a shake, bar, oatmeal, soup or even cheese puffs. The sixth meal, which you can have at any time, is a Lean & Green Meal you prepare yourself, built around 5 to 7 ounces of lean protein (check a list) and three servings of nonstarchy veggies (ditto). The studies, as is true for most diets, have been small, with many dropouts. Short term, it seems impossible not to shed at least some pounds; you're eating half the calories most adults consume
