You can read more about it on my medifast website here, but in a nutshell it is a very low calorie, no brainer method of weight loss. I like it for several reasons...
- No brainer - so good for the patients who don't want to count calories
- Meals are designed to be very low in calories yet satisfying...
- I will be the health coach walking alongside and helping my patients stick to the plan
- After weight loss is achieved, there is a transition period and then maintenance
- Cost to the patient is only for the meal replacement foods they are eating and comes out to about $10/day... and you should really only need to do this weight loss phase for 1-3 months before transitioning back to "real life" food and then maintenance
Initial weight loss is fairly simple and most people can achieve this if they follow any diet plan. However, the trick is to keep it off and with the coaching that goes along with Medifast Diet Plan, I'm excited that I can offer something to my patients that can be lasting. The goal is to develop healthy eating habits and to achieve optimal health. Haha.. I sound like an ad on tv but I truly am excited about this and want to see my patients get off of their blood pressure, diabetes, or cholesterol meds! Will keep you posted...
