My aunt was on medifast three years ago and lost a ton of weight very quickly. I don't know the specifics (ie how much she weighed or how much she lost), I just know that in the months between the times we saw one another, she went from a very large lady (about 5'10'') to a very skinny lady. She looked amazing and maintained this weight loss for at least six months, after which I moved to Florida.
I called her very recently to ask her what maintenance was like and just about Medifast in general as I'd seen and read wonderful things and wanted to try it.
To make a long story short, she basically said that she'd maintained for six months but when she transitioned back to regular food, she put back on at least 100 pounds.
I'm writing not to discourage anyone, but to ask how typical this is. Have YOU personally gained back any weight after transitioning back to "regular" food? About how much? If not, what foods have you used to maintain that Medifast weight loss?
Thanks in advance!
