You guys have offered some great insight, and I'm really impressed with everyone's progress! I'm hoping you might have some thoughts for me. On Feb. 3rd I started my grocery store Medifast by using EAS-Advantedge shakes, Atkins Day Break Peanut Butter Crunch bars and then beginning to add in other low carb/high protein "mini-meal" options (such as light mozzerella sticks, boiled eggs or a tuna packet with part of my green so I'd feel like I was having something for lunch). From the 3rd to the 9th I lost 12 pounds and then came to a screeching halt. No further weight loss. I had read that by "shocking" your system by coming out of Ketosis for a few days then going back in, it would jump start you so I'm hoping that helps. I just started back toward Ketosis yesterday so there hasn't been enough time for results. I can't really do the actual Medifast due to not only the cost, but soy seems to leave me feeling unusually bloated. The eating 6 times a day seems to work well with me, as well as the low carb, I am just feeling a bit discouraged as I don't know what the issue might be. I am grateful for any thoughts or advice.

HI I am Linda
I started doing MF way of eating the 23rd.
I made up my own food list and meals I have lost 4.2 lbs in five days I have never lost weight this quick. I do believe it is the eating every two hours. I have been over weight for a long long time., I need to lose 70-75 lbs. an example of my meals are Breakfast: first I drink a big bottle of tea have : 1 cup cooked egg beaters or egg whites and salsa or Kasha waffle, one does it with sugar free syrup two hours later south beach shake or bar or special K crisp crackers or pretzels or sf pudding and water or tea or some crunchy veggies two hours later same as above two hours later Lunch large salad, no dressing or some olive oil drizzle or fat free dressing with 4 oz protein and another healthy veggie, like broccoli two hours later south beach shake or bar or special K crisp crackers or pretzels or sf pudding and water or tea two hours later south beach shake or bar or special K crisp crackers or pretzels or sf pudding and water or tea two hours later south beach shake or bar or special K crisp crackers or pretzels or sf pudding and water or tea I am satisfied my stomach may even once in a while growl. But that is good. I sleep a lot better, to each his own, on how this works I guess. This works best for me, repeating is easier for me and I can carry my protein bars with me so that I have my snack every two hours. it all adds up to the 100-110 calorie snack |
jehna, your link above does not work.

On the lean and green, I have a salad with fat free dressing and chicken breast. I am going to try the spaghetti sauce recipe in one of the medifast books I got off of amazon. I do eat vegan "meat".

It's great that there are products that are not harmful to health. I remember when I worked as a presentation specialist, a client asked us to redesign my presentation This was a representative of Medifast. When I was preparing new slides for the presentation of his products, I studied them in detail and I can say that the quality impressed me.
