If you have ever tried to lose weight before, you realize how difficult it can be. Fortunately, there are some ways in which you can lose weight that are not faddish and do not require a lot of time or even effort on your part. The Medifast diet is a plan that not only can help you to lose the weight that you desire, it can assist you in the long term to keep it off.

Medifast is a diet that is frequently recommended by many doctors, particularly if you have a significant amount of weight to lose. Because of its simplicity and the fact that the Medifast diet works very quickly to help you get the weight off, if you follow the plan as directed, it is actually preferable to many surgical options such as the lapband or a gastric bypass. It is certainly safer than surgery as well.

The way that the Medifast diet works is actually fairly simple. It is a meal plan service in which your meals are delivered to you on a regular basis. The meals are a combination of shakes, soups, hot drinks and meal bars. You will get everything that you need in order to eat properly and to lose your weight. You don't even need to count calories, as long as you are sticking with the plan foods, you will be just fine. The only thing that you need for most of the Medifast meals is to add water and to microwave the foods.

In addition to the Medifast supplied meals, you will also prepare one meal a day which consists of lean meats and greens. This is to make sure that you are eating fresh food every day and that you will be learning how to prepare the right kinds of foods for when you return to eating your own prepared food full-time. YOur "lean and green" meal though can be as simple or extravagant as you like when it comes to preparation. I generally keep to nice big salads with either chicken or beef.

At first Medifast might seem a little extravagant at a cost of approximately $ 10 per day. But if you stop to think about how much you are spending now, especially on going out to eat,, you may actually find that you are saving money on your grocery bill while you are still losing weight. One of the biggest advantages of the program, for me, is the fact that I could take meals to work with me. This saved me from running to hit the drive-through on some very short lunch breaks.
