With disciplined use of Medifast, one can lose 2-5 pounds a week. So it
is easy to loose 4-10 pounds a week. The effectiveness depends upon the
discipline and commitment of the dieter.
When one adopts Medifast, it is a life time change which is healthy and
effective. Medifast keeps one's dietary requirement in view, and
reduces carbohydrate and enhances protein so that the body is healthy
though initially one may not feel much energetic.
The
mechanism that Medifast adopts is to reduce calorie intake that does
not get burnt. If one burns all the calories one takes in, then
obviously one does not accumulate fat and hence weight. However, with
adequate exercise, one also burns extra calories.
The
most important point one has to keep in mind is that one can not
compromise on the nutritional requirements of the body. Low calorie
diets have a combination of carbohydrates, protein, vitamin and
minerals in proportionate quantity to ensure quick weight loss.
Dieters of Medifast scheme appreciate Medifast Meals are quick and can
be easily prepared.
As commonly associated with weight loss program, one has to have small
frequent meals in a day, so is with the Medifast scheme, with its 5
& 1 Plan. This plan causes one to eat 6 meals a day with 5
Medifast Meals and the remaining should be a meal of lean meat and
green salads.
These 5 meals can be chosen from the 60 Medifast Meals variety
available. The 6th meal can be chosen from beef, chicken or fish for
the meat component and any vegetable that the dieter needs to prepare
him/herself.
There
is a systematic way to Medifast Transition, Maintenance, and Exercise
Plans to every Medifast scheme. It is important to sustain one's
program after it is completed in the scheme.
Medifast has special diet programs for people with type 2 diabetes by
which both diabetes and weight can be controlled, under a physician's
supervision. It takes care of the required calories with various
nutritional components beneficial to the body.
Since Medifast meals are spaced at 2-3 hours interval, one does not
feel hungry.
The essential part of a Medifast scheme is to continue the program in a
sustainable manner. So once the desired weight is reached, the
transition phase is taken up.
During this period, one leaves behind the Medifast food and gets back
to one's own food pattern like fruits, low-fat dairy products, whole
grains and higher-carbohydrate vegetables. This also means extra
calories back to the diet.
The
third part is the maintenance part. Transition and Maintenance impose
reinforcement of the body systems which help maintain your weight loss
results with more activities added to the lifestyle.
Maintaining
weight despite getting more calories can be done with regular exercise.
His also helps to keep many chronic diseases away. One can start with
the easiest exercise like walking.
