Medifast Weight Control

I’d give it a 2.5 if I could but thought I’d be generous.
Nice enough people. I worked it for about 4 or 5 months but really never was comfortable with the way I felt on the food. Not a bad experience but it definitely did not suit me. I learned some and lost weight which, of course, I regained.
But since leaving I’ve been stalked by them. It has been a year and I still receive calls. I told them again today to stop and if they do not I will have to figure out some way to stop them. Their marketing model is really not good.

FOOD MADE ME SICK!!!
I had done medifast years before and decided to try it again after having a baby to lose the baby weight. I am in good health and do not have any issues.
Shortly after ordering my supply I started to notice whenever I ate the food I would get extremely sick. I was throwing up, so dizzy I can’t stand and this would last for many hours. I really couldn’t connect the two and just thought it was a coincidence. So I waited weeks and then tried again and it would make me sick again. I called Medifast to tell them what happened and asked to return my food they said I couldn’t return it because it was past 30 days. Here’s what I have to say:
#1: They obviously know there food makes people sick and this is not an isolated incident. Hence, why they refused to stand by their product.
#2: There claims that this diet is healthy. If you are doing this diet you know that it is not healthy to eat a 700 calorie diet. But that still doesn’t mean that it’s okay to make people sick.
#3: The food does not taste good and its not worth risking consuming this toxic waste

I’ve gotta disagree with the low reviews.
I’ve tried calorie counting, I’ve tried Atkins, I’ve tried all sorts of stuff. I could lose– but the weight would fluctuate, and I could never break my plateau at around 270 – 272. It was frustrating. I’m attempting to enlist in the Texas State Guard and have to lose… well… quite a bit.
The ladies at the Louis Henna MediFast clinic have been a great help to me. Could I do it by myself? Maybe. But the encouragement sure is nice. Is it like eating at Ruth’s Chris every day? No… but then, I’m one of those mutants who’s just as happy with ramen and MREs.
The food. OK, it’s very small portions. The soups tend to be 8oz portions, as are the shakes. The thicker fare, like the vegetarian sloppy joe and the chili are 4oz portions. The meal bars are small — but TASTY. I fell in love with the parmesan puffs, mostly because they taste like croutons and I used to snack on croutons like most people eat chips or popcorn. The eggs are actually pretty tasty, and I have no complaints about the pancakes or the shakes.
Now, the peanut butter soft serve is a little — missing something. I add a bit of splenda to that. I also doctor my soups and the beef stew with Tabasco or Worchestershire. You can’t expect gourmet at 110 calories or less, and for my money (and it is kinda pricey, and by kinda I mean 6 credit hours at my online school pricey) it’s pretty reasonable. I actually look forward to my MediFast meals. I’ve gotten used to them, and they sort of seem like my «field rations» getting me through this — the most difficult mission I’ve been on in my life. In the last year I decided to go back to college full-​time while working full time. Then I got placed with two foster kids. Then I got involved with the State Guard. I am one busy somanumbatch. That made weight loss REALLY difficult.
MediFast takes most of the guesswork out of it for me. The Lean & Green meals are fun to cook, and I get pretty creative with them. The food you purchase from MediFast — well, everyone has their favorites and not-​so-​favorites. I found out I’m like one of the few who really likes the Maryland Crab Soup…
Anyway… this diet is ideal for some people. It’s also sub-​optimal for some people. For me — well, I lost 20.3lbs in my first month. I’ll let that speak for itself.
Live long and prosper, True Believers.
Excelsior!

So far the service has been good. Not sure on the food yet. But will update. I have lost 9 lbs in a week and a half.

Sgt. Sam on KLBJ likes them but then again he was paid to say so and he would sell his sole to the Japaneese if he could make a buck
