One more thing I forgot to mention. BFFM promotes a lot of cardiovascular exercise. This isn't necessarily a bad thing - but some feel that the author pushes this too heavily. Once again, it's a...

As MrsJim points to, there was some recent research that was linking diet sodas with weight gain - but IMO it's hard to draw a link between the two. I believe some people think that drinking diet...

The negative calorie diets are simply low calorie diets. Anytime you eat a good portion of fibrous green veg you are doing yourself a favor - high in fiber and low in cals. However there are plenty...

I thought that the medifast shakes were based on Soy Protein - which I believe is slightly more effective that other shakes. But then who knows. I thought Medifast seemed kind of expensive.

I'm interested to know if there are any members here who have experience with Medifast? (no I'm not trying to recruit :dizzy: ).

Medifast is not extremely low calorie - in fact to qualify as a VLCD a diet has to be 800 kCal per day or below. Medifast 5 and 1 is about 1000 kCals per day. However I still think these must be...

Well you sure have found a doozy there. It's all stock photos and stolen before and after images (I even recognized a few). Anyone want to have a go at the "free counseling session"? I'm tempted - it...
