Let me start off by giving you a little background about myself. I come from one of those homes where your parents always made you eat everything on your plate. So you can see the programming that was instilled since I was a young boy. I always used eating as a escape I guess from social problems. I was not the popular kid, and never really had a lot of friends because of my weight. Well it spiraled out of control which brings me to where I am right now. I am a 37 year old male, 5″ 7″ and weigh 247. On a recent check up from my doctor I was advised that I needed to loose weight. Now I am the person who had dabbled with different diets here and there, but I don’t think that I was ever really committed.
So from recommendations from my doctor I decided to go on the Medifast Program. The Medifast Diet is a low calorie diet, that is structured for you and takes the guess work out. It is a meal replacement program, where you have five Medifast meals and one Lean and Green meal per day. The lean and green meal can be 7 oz of turkey, chicken or fish, or 5 oz of lean beef pork or lamb, along with a green vegetable. The food choices keep you from being bored, you can have oatmeal, hot chocolate, cappuccino, or a shake for breakfast. For lunch there are soups, granola bars or shakes and for dinner you have your lean and green meal. The program is set up where you eat every 2 hours, so that helps to keep the hunger pains down.
