Medifast Reviews

I began my journey April 1, 2017. By October 16, 2017 I had lost 93 lbs. It was mostly fat. I began exercising midway through. My coach, the books, the friends, the fuelings, a new mindset. Thank you.

I first started the program as a client of course and yes the program helped me lose weight. However, once I became a coach, it was ridiculous. I submitted a request more than 6 weeks ago and still no follow through. I called and was placed on multiple long wait times only to be disconnect from the call 60 mins into my hold! They don't care about your health or well being, as long as you keep signing people up and they make money. I would never refer any friends or family to start Optavia. I have been left with nothing but dislike for Optavia.

I just started the program and missing a ton of stuff in my first order of over $600! I waited on hold over an hour and half two times trying to reach the company just to finally be disconnected. They make it so hard to reach it is very frustrating. So far I think the products are good but the service under their new program. Optivia is horrible.

I had been using Medifast products for 5 years and originally it was a great company with a nice selection of products and it was easy to reach them for advice and ordering. Now since it went over to Optavia it has gone downhill. They send the wrong products or don't fulfill my order. They will not respond to my emails nor can I reach them by phone. They have reduced the products from their original choices to a limited amount, while the prices went up. If I can ever contact anyone I will drop out of this program. New buyers beware! What was once a good company is no longer worth the money.

Updated on 7/11/2019: This is a followup to my post of March 6 and to the many complainers since then who have detested the horrible ordering tactics Octavia has been undertaking. Apparently it's not corrected. I think the change in name to Octavia (from just Medifast) was was a hyped up plan to make Wall Street think it had revolutionized this industry. For a while it seemed to work. But I thought it was just just smoke and mirrors. I quit them then but was too timid to short their stock due to the lack of liquidity. I think the market has discovered this (see MED on stock exchange). Whooooosh! I don't wish them bad luck because I never disliked the product--it just became impossible to deal with them.

This was a good company for satisfaction when it was Medifast BUT Optavia is BAD. I cancelled my February order yet Optavia had put a hold on my bank account for the order amount. They then shipped the order after I had cancelled. They do not respond on their NEW and improved (?) website and they do not answer their phone. I called my coach and she said to send it back but I needed to pay shipping back. I will not pay $20.00 each way in shipping. I have called 5 times and am on hold > 45 min each time with no answer. They do not respond to "contact us" on their website either even afer 5 attempts. BUYER BEWARE.

I never leave reviews but I feel this is too important and I need to share my experience with weight loss hopefuls. I was on this diet for three weeks and I regret every minute of it. First, the gastrointestinal issues this diet causes are awful. At first I thought the food was cleaning out my system but the problem persisted. Then the skin pain/sensitivity started. I thought I was dehydrated so I drank even more water. After 100 oz of water per day wasn’t working I realized dehydration wasn’t the issue either.

I've been on this 5 & 1 plan for three weeks now and I've lost 16 pounds so far. My goal is 90 pounds. Most people who look at this and write a negative review I believe look at this as a diet. It's not a diet, it's a change of habits. And the key I found is you've got to read the book at least the first 5 to 6 chapters. You'll understand why we struggle with our weight gain and loss. How the food industry works against you to get you addicted and buying more food than you need. Once you understand the science behind the scenes it is a lot easier to go on the plan and stay on the plan. The food is fine, I've only found one item I didn't like. Mark Twain said it best. "The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like and do what you'd rather not."

I dropped weight quickly and was excited at first. I saw health improvements in my blood pressure, and again I was excited about it. Now the bad news, the longer I stayed on it, the more damage I did to my body in other areas. My testosterone tanked, my skin started having sore like patches, and even though I was losing weight, I didn’t realize at the time that my body was dumping muscle. As other reviews have stated, if these “coaches” are just in it to help you get healthy, then why make money off of me signing up under you. They use nice words to make you feel good about what you’re doing. I know other people doing this plan now and I see them going through the same things I went through.

Food is yucky. I spit out almost everything I tried. The brownies and cookie mix are very difficult to mix and put into the provided paper dish. Very messy. I can't believe I spent that much money for this. I'm throwing most of it away. The snack bars are okay but the rest taste really bad.

I cannot believe this is a publicly traded company that boasts about a Forbes rating. Their systems and customer service policies are less than a zero. They have no flexibility, they can't resolve issues, they can't amend orders, they can't change a shipping address if you catch a typo 30 seconds after placing it, they BLAME everything on the fact that 'their systems won't let them make changes' - they do not return calls when escalation to a supervisor is requested...their product is ok but their interface with their customers is infuriating and said plainly SUCKS. I can't believe their investors don't demand they address these issues.

Lost 26 lbs in 8 weeks, keeping it off! December 28, 2018: My pre-OPTAVIA starting weight was 169 lbs. On Friday, November 16th, I stopped eating anything with sugar in it, and started drinking ½ my body weight in ounces of water. On November 19th I signed up to be an OPTAVIA Coach and 2 days later on November 21st I started the 5-1 Plan. 5 weeks later I weigh 148 lbs… down 21 lbs and a total of 12” (5” off my waist). I have much more energy, increased cognitive clarity, and my hips don’t ache anymore from being overweight. 18 lbs to go to hit my target “high school” weight of 130 lbs. OPTAVIA rocks!!!

I Lost weight on this plan but the customer service is terrible. Optavia - The company has one major problem that forced me to leave. The people that you as a customer have access to call or contact (even 3rd tier supervisors!) have no authority to fix account issues of any kind. Several of the Optavia people I spoke to on the phone agreed to this problem and were frustrated by it as well. I’m not sure of the logic of this system. The only way for issues to be resolved is by the mysterious “resolutions team” who have no phone or email and can only contact you.

After reading many other reviews, both good and bad, I wanted to weigh in on the Optavia plan. I have been overweight/obese for most of my life. However a few years ago I crossed into morbidly obese. I also had diabetes and severe asthma plus a bunch of lesser things. I wore an insulin pump. I took lots of inhalers, pills, nebulizer etc. for my asthma. I was very sick and depressed. My grandson was complaining that I wasn't doing things with him because I felt sick all the time. I was terrified of surgery for so many ways but especially because I knew too many failures and too many that didn't lose as much as I needed to anyway.

I tried to return some items that were horrible in taste. I had two RMAs and set both in the same package. They refunded the smaller of the two. I called and complained but they refuse to do anything to help. I have emailed and they don't respond. Worst customer service ever. The diet however works if you can stomach the horrible for. I still have about 200 dollar worth of the crap in my closet. You could save money simply doing the Keto diet that all this is the lack of calories to me gets a little unhealthy and started making me light headed at work so I stopped. With the fact I couldn't eat the cardboard anymore also help me quit.

Just sat on the phone for 30 minutes to cancel my account because they have no place on their website to do so. The food is blah so I decided to cancel in November. Couldnt reach them by phone (it was the weekend) so the most I could do was change my $329.00 order to a $19.00 one. Forgot to call to cancel in December so they sent the 19.00 order again (automatic shipment) and charged me $17.95 to ship a box of brownies. I paid a total of $60 for 2 boxes of brownies because they make canceling your account so difficult.

I am so disappointed! I got SO SICK on this diet, I mean I could not leave my house because the product ran right through me! I tried it for 3 days and it made me nearly bedridden. I do not have a gallbladder, so if you do not have your gallbladder STAY AWAY FROM THIS DIET AT ALL COSTS! And to top it off, the return process has been a NIGHTMARE!!! I have been waiting for over 30 days and keep getting told that I have been escalated and to wait a few more days. Those few days have turned into weeks. Something that I had hoped would help, made me feel horrible. Such a disappointment.

I started my journey to optimal health in May 2018. I decided to begin my journey after a doctor told me that I was prediabetic and needed to go on a drug called **. As a nurse it really hit home that I needed an intervention in my own personal health to put myself back on track to living a healthy life. Fortunately my younger brother introduced me to the Optavia plan and a personal Health Coach to guide me on my journey. In just three months I had lost over 50 lbs. My blood pressure had dropped dramatically back into the good range, my arthritis in my hands and joints is virtually nonexistent. I move like a new person and my A1C has fallen back into the normal range. My most recent lab work was all back in the normal range. After years of having Drs tell me to lose weight I finally had a system and a Coach to help me get it done. After 8 months the weight is still gone and I still have the support of the OPTAVIA Community.

I lost 50lbs on this plan. It changed my life completely and I am so thankful for it. I did the program for 5 months in 2014 and lost 50 lbs. I have been able to maintain my weight loss for years by using the healthy habits I was taught by my coach. I just recently jumped back onto Optavia and have lost 7lbs in a week. I feel great and the food tastes great. I am sleeping like a baby too which is wonderful.

I called Optavia on 9/25/18 and informed them I would be returning my entire order, within the 30 day time frame and the box had never been opened, the Rep said no problem, sent me a UPS label and I dropped it off that day costing $33.23. The box was delivered on 10/1/18 and after weeks of not receiving credit, I called Optavia on Thurs. 10/18, they took my information and said the Resolution Team would be contacting me within 2 days. I also contacted my Coach, filled her in and she said she would contact them Friday morning.

My doctor's nurse suggested I try this program and she was my coach, ha... she knew my health problems... high blood pressure, AFIB, Thyroid, my gallbladder has been removed and I have had a bowel resection! The fueling’s have soy oil as the first ingredient. If you have had your gallbladder removed you cannot tolerate soy oil, not only did I have gas, cramping a bloated stomach but diarrhea that smelled horrible and I secreted an orange oil from my anus for two weeks. Was only on the program for five days. She told me it was just my body cleaning out what needed to be cleaned out! I am now having to go to a gastroenterologist. It has gotten that bad. I cannot eat anything with soy oil... and everything almost has it. Watch the ingredients in this. It is bad, when I asked for a refund, I got a runaround. I don’t have the energy to pack it up and send pack. That is how sick I am! Beware of this diet!

Repeatedly told the "Resolutions team" would take care of it. The "Resolution team" will be in touch. I've provided the tracking number to them daily... delivery was a week ago. Still no refund. Angry doesn't begin to express how I feel about these people.

I purchased the 5&1 program from a friend. I told them from the very beginning that I had high blood pressure but was assured by her and another coach that the Optavia products were safe for people with hypertension. Once I received a month's worth of the product, I saw that all the bars and shakes (Fuelings) are high in sodium. I consulted my doctor and he immediately told me to stop taking the products. He was shocked on how high in sodium the bars and shakes are and was told they should never have recommended this program to me. Be aware that the "coaches" are not health professionals so they are not qualified to give you medical advice and should not have told me it was safe for me to take. This is a MLM company so these "coaches" want to make money so in the end they will say what you want to hear to make a sale. Lesson learned.

I purchased a month's supply (I was told that of course, you spend more than $14/day on food. I don't, unless I go out to eat and the $14 doesn't include your lean and green.) Some of the ladies at work have been quite successful at losing weight-noticeable weight loss. I have been on it 3 days. I find that the food is all soy and within 30min by stomach/intestines are killing me. Terrible gas and I'm at work. I'm guzzling water because the food is so dry and bloating (so the water part is good). I dread the next snack. I only need to lose 10-15 lbs, but it's still very difficult. I can't stand the taste of the stevia which is over-powering in the drinks. I just don't see how you transition from this non-food to real food without gaining weight back. The woman I asked about the program wants to phone me every day with a pep talk. I'm not interested. I can read the literature, don't want the "rah! rah!". Nonsense.

I did receive my refund on this! The wait time was longer than expected and inconvenient.

I signed up because a "friend" was doing it. It is an easy plan to follow IF your system can tolerate it. What I disliked was my "coach"/"friend" 1) did not tell me she was being paid as my coach although she wasn't qualified to be one at that point and I didn't know I was helping finance her own ability to stay on the program; 2) she told me that despite my completing a health assessment which included Hashimoto's that this diet would be fine. When I experienced gastrointestinal issues, she told me verbally that it was likely a bug I'd picked up on a recent trip and to stay on the program. I finally went to my MD with the brochure in hand and she told me to GET OFF as the program option that I was on it is filled with artificial sweeteners which is horrible for gut health.

I'm a 74 yr. old male and my wife is 70. My wife wants to lose about 50 lbs. and decided to start the OptaVia program. I was only over my desired weight by 10 lbs. However, to support her, I started the program with her. After 30 Days she has lost 15 lbs and I reached my goal weight. Because of our age we are not following the 5 and 1 plan. We eat 4 OptaVia replacement meals and 2 lean and green (4 and 2 program). Aside from getting used to only eating 800 to 1000 calories and getting used to the taste, this program is easy. Buy the meal replacements and follow the plan. Currently, my wife is caring for a friend. She packed enough MRs for 3 days (easy). We keep some MRs in each car for emergencies (like when your away longer then planned).

First off, it (Optavia) only works if you follow the plan. The food is good but people need to keep in mind that these items are full of vitamins and minerals that provide you all of the nutrients that your body needs. So the food does have a vitamin/mineral like taste to it like any protein powder does. I've lost 5.4 lbs in my first week. I no longer notice the mineral taste. I've been 100% compliant to the 5:1 plan since starting. I got headaches the first few days but that went away as my body got used to the plan. My energy level went up after the 3rd day. I look forward to each fueling and my lean and green. This is a lifestyle change. If you aren't willing to make a lifestyle change this program isn't for you.

I signed up for this diet plan Medifast/Optavia. Received the first month "food". Had NO communication as to how I liked the food that they had chosen for me at a 'discounted' price of $350+. I went into my account a few days before the 30 days was up to make some selections as to what I wanted (some of the foods I could not tolerate) only to find they had sent out an order of their choosing. I had no communication from them whatsoever either inquiring how I liked the product or that they had sent out an order. I want to deal with a company who respects their clients and that is not so money driven. Will keep you informed.

I have really enjoyed Medifast for the last few years and have found their website and ordering process to be quite secure. Last week I received a routine email telling me that my Medifast order would soon be on the way. I called the Tel. Number given on the email to cancel the order and was given a run around of strange requests for my Credit card, etc. I did give too much personal info and card number to an operator who sounded like she was overseas. I felt uneasy afterwards and went on Medifast website to find that the telephone number on website different from the email - the numbers had been re-arranged. The Medifast website operator said she would make a note about the number on email being wrong.

I'm a 54 year-old male that started out weighing 287 pounds. My wife decided to give Medifast/Optavia a try and got me to try it with her. We are at the 30-day mark and I've lost almost 22 pounds while my wife has lost almost 15 pounds. I am not big on pushing diet plans, but I must say that once you get past the first few days and once you're able to narrow down the Medifast/Optavia items that 1) you like, and 2) that satisfy your hunger, this is a very easy program. My wife and I are now kind of on autopilot because we know what we like and we purchased a lot of Medifast/Optavia products to select from.

I started Optavia 5 & 1 plan in late August to try to lose 20 pounds. I managed to lose 15 lbs in a month which is great results. It was simple to follow and overall easy compared to other diets. The website is not very user-friendly and food is overpriced. The problem is that most of the food has cardboard taste but still edible. Lean and green meal was only meal I truly enjoyed. After a month I was bored with food selection and not a lot of options more than bars for people on the go without microwave or blender to use.

I have been on the program for 3 weeks, and I have lost 40 lb. Other than the first 3 or 4 days, which is a period of transition, I have had no hunger. Some of the food doesn't taste good, but 75% of it is good. I have had no cravings except for two nights for a couple of hours, more mental than physical. I went in through Take Shape for Life what's Medifast to take advantage of the free life coach, so far so good. That held my hand the first five days when I needed them. And now I am just coasting down, many, many, many helpful videos. So yes I will absolutely be recommending that to three of my friends once I get down further and further verify this success that I've had so far. By the way, this is the first time that I have had success like this in my adult life and I am 56 years old and I have tried every product and program out there.

One of my friends who is a doctor encouraged me to consider Medifast a long time ago. Since it had a great reputation, I decided to order from them. Since then, Medifast has helped me reach my weight loss goals. Initially, it was a challenge because I was changing lifestyle patterns. Still, I've lost 50 pounds at this point. I need to lose another 15 and I'm finding it a bit harder because I'm not exclusively eating Medifast Food. Overall, using Medifast was a good experience.

A conversation with a friend of their experience made me try Medifast. The first week is a mental challenge because of being in a certain pattern of eating. I had to adjust the lifestyle where I stopped going to lunch with people. I would have a coffee or a piece off of lunchtime, so it's rearranging life, but after that first week, it was very easy. I did exactly what they said to do and in the course of about three and a half months, I lost 53 pounds. They helped me achieve that in an extraordinary way. I feel fantastic and sleep like a rock. Also, everyone I talked to at Medifast has been fantastic. I only had a few interactions with them, but they've been very helpful. I'm very thankful for the product and for them helping me in the process because it helped me sort out food, health and habits. It's been a blessing to my life and the experience has been outstanding and life-changing.

I saw a video on YouTube of someone reviewing their experience with Medifast. It seems like a way that I could cut back on calories but still get the nutrition that I needed because it had all the vitamins and minerals. My experience going through the diet started off well and I was surprised by how good a lot of the meals tasted. But then as the diet progressed, it got really monotonous eating the same things over and over. I didn't experience any more weight loss with this program than I would if I just changed my diet. I think the results are overstated in a lot of the publicity and that was the biggest drawback for me. I really like that it was convenient, but it wasn't quite what I expected. The only interaction I had with the team was when I called to stop my subscription, and they were very helpful.

I want to work through a program where I don't have to make decisions and just have to follow it and the food that's sent. I'm always on the road so I also like that it was just things I can throw in my bag or in my suitcase when I fly. It's really hard for me to work on losing weight when I'm always on the road and I might have to book a flight and go somewhere the next morning. I'm just kind of never prepared with meals.

I was a Medifast user before and I was a returning customer. I had them due to medical reasons. It was recommended by my doctor. The first time I used them the diet was easy and fast. For a while I felt very good using it then I had a medical procedure and I have to stop. I was also traveling out of the city for a long time and when I came back my next order was due and my previous order wasn't even opened. But I plan to come back at some point. It has definitely been a positive experience. If it wasn't, I won't come back.

Medifast was suggested by our primary physician. It seemed like an easy way to lose weight. The difficult part for me with every diet is to figure out what I can eat. With Medifast, that decision was easy to make and that's why we chose it. I order online and everything arrives on time. The diet is reasonable. I love it. The meal bars can be used for snacking and it’s good tasting so I like it. When I first tried it nine years ago, it worked very well. I lost 50 pounds and my husband lost 90. So, it was very good. But lately, I was out of control. In order for this to work, it’s helpful if you can make it the most important thing for you to lose weight and it should take priority over everything. We lost a lot of weight after this and then we gained again two years after that. We tried several times and without so much success. If you try to do it just hoping that eating the meal will help, it's not working. It needs dedication very much.

I wanted to lose weight quickly and I wanted it to be easy. I didn’t want to weigh and measure things and try to figure out what to eat and what not to eat. I wanted it to be simple which it was. I stopped using Medifast for a while because of personal things and now I’m back on it again and I’ve lost 33 pounds already. I was hungry at first but I've been feeling better for a long time. I know when it’s time to eat because I start to get hungry and I eat every two hours because you eat five of their meals and then the lean green. I could do it all myself and I didn’t have to worry about going to meetings and weighing myself in front of other people. The plan was perfect for what I wanted.

Medifast was convenient and I finally lost some weight. When I started the program, I did a month’s worth of meals. I didn’t do great the first week or so but this changed over time. Then I experienced an increase in energy and I felt full throughout the day and more positive. The Medifast representatives have all been helpful but the website ordering was a pain. So, in some cases, I called in and placed my order over the phone, which was a lot easier and more convenient.

I travel for a living so I don’t have the option to buy groceries and cook for myself. When I first started doing Medifast years ago, it helped me achieve my weight loss goals. It's good when you use it but you really have to do what it says - five meals a day and eat your one lean and two greens. However, I have children now so I'm eating behind them or eating what they want which is not always the healthiest.

I had a friend who used Medifast and I went with it because I wanted to lose weight. It was also easy. I lost a lot of weight (about 35 lbs) a couple of years ago and it was good. But I’ve put the weight back on so I want to get it back off. I’ve been off and on Medifast but I started this week hardcore on it. I had a headache the first couple of days because I don’t do the caffeine thing. But it’s fine. It’s kind of challenging with kids at home during the summer though.

I saw how Medifast worked for my ex-husband so I decided to use it too. I lost ten pounds in under two months. That's not horrible, but it's not what I was hoping for. But, I feel satisfied with the meals. I follow directions on some of them, and it's inconsistent on how it cooks. I've learned to adjust directions on some of the things, like the amount of water.

Medifast sounded like a good product to help jumpstart a little bit of a diet and exercise program so I used it. I've known them through word of mouth. It's a bit expensive but not really if you think about it as meal replacement. It helped me start with diet and exercise for a period of time and I lost 8 pounds. The hardest part about it is the mental thing that you have to do to realize you're just eating bars. The first two days were hard, then after three days, it's bizarre. You're just not hungry. However, it's very hard to transition away from it. It's not a really good transition path and you obviously can't stay on it forever. It is very effective for a short term weight loss, but there's no long term strategy there.

I purchased Medifast several years ago and my weight came off quick. It helps me achieve weight loss goals. I had more energy as I wasn't so full all the time. It was satisfying and it helped me to curb my hunger. I liked the bars but I didn't like the mashed potatoes. It just had a weird taste and the consistency was kind of tasty. However, I have a lot of weight to lose, and I'd have to be on it for a long time. It worked but I just can't afford to keep doing it.

I was trying to lose weight so I used Medifast. I order online which is convenient in choosing what I want and I find the shipping cost too high so I try to avoid it. I've tried different things but the food becomes too boring after a while and I don't feel like having it anymore. They use the bars and there are some meals that I thought tasted horrible. Also, there isn't enough variety and it's hard to keep eating that food. But it makes me feel full for a while and I lost some weight in the couple of weeks that I've tried it. Overall, my experience is good.

I love Medifast. When I was on it years ago, I had to get it from the doctor. I lost 60 pounds then I kept it off for 15 years. I gained some weight back so I figured I would go back on it. This time, I’ve been using it for seven weeks and I’ve lost 18 pounds. Another seven weeks more and I’m set to go on maintenance. I do the treadmill every day, so that helped make it come off faster. I used to do it the treadmill an hour but it’s low calorie so I just do half an hour now. I love the food. I don’t love everything, but I have my favorite. It's the easiest diet ever because I'm not hungry. I do the 5 then I have a lean and green. When I was on it before with the doctor, I was only having five shakes a day. I survived, so I figured skipping the lean and green once a week is not going to hurt me. I feel good. The first week, I felt very tired and I had no energy, but after that, I'm fine. It was my body adjusting to the low calorie. I feel great. It's an awesome experience.

One of my niece's friends had lost weight on Medifast and we’ve used it on and off through the years. My sons and my husband had done it, too, but my niece and I are ones who did the best on it. My sons stopped because they got very constipated on Medifast. We’ve kept it off and we didn’t get down to goal but at a certain point, it stopped working. I had a health coach, Helen, and unfortunately she gained back most of what she lost. But we've lost weight and we're happy. In fact, I lost 40 pounds. I did Medifast because I wanted to make sure my sugar level is down and Medifast helped me. I’ve got my sugar level within the normal limit. I never had to go on medicine so I was good with that.

I've tried so many diets and didn't stick with them or they weren't for me, so I tried Medifast. They were delicious and made me feel full. I didn't feel like snacking all the time, but I have to follow it very strictly. I have to stick with it and not waiver. I lost 35 pounds the first time I took it, and it was awesome. I met my goal and I felt better in general because I was exercising more. Their reps were very helpful and friendly. If I had any questions about anything, somebody was always there to help me. I didn't have to wait 15 minutes on that 800 number and I was very pleased. A lot of people may not be able to do it because it's pricey, but my experience with them was great.

My wife's coworker lost a tremendous amount of weight. My wife couldn't help but notice and asked how they did it, and the answer was Medifast. I've finished using it, and my wife is continuing to use it in a maintenance kind of a format. When we first went on the program we each lost 70 pounds. It was truly transformative. It takes discipline but it works. Our experience was pretty good although, in the ensuing years, I've gained another 20 pounds back. But I can carry that.

I went on Medifast for a couple of years and I lost 40 pounds in a month. I was happy with that but I've recently put it back on. I ordered some more and I had to take a prepackaged thing so I couldn’t choose the things that I like. That doesn’t help me with my diet if I don’t like the product. They’ve sent me a lot of snacks and bars. They pre-shipped me out a second order, and I didn’t realize they were going to do that. So, I've got another $400 order, and I haven't even started the first one. I have to send it back, and it's going to cost me to send it back. I haven't been happy with them. I think it does its job when you do it, but I'm having a hard time getting back on it.

I got on Medifast 6 years ago, and it’s a wonderful thing. My husband and I have been on and off it. I teach a lot of classes like aerobics and yoga and one of the girls that come to my class introduced me to it. If I had any questions, I went to her. Anytime I used Medifast, it helped me achieve my weight loss goals. But I'm getting older and something happened in my body this year. My doctor recommended I get off that stuff for a while. It has soy in it and I’ve developed an allergy to it. They think it could be related so I’m going to see if it goes away. There were also a couple of items that I bought which I didn't like. I sent it back and they returned it. But other than that, it's a good thing. I changed my automatic ship date to the end of August to see if it goes away if I get off it. But I should cancel it, and then if I can do it again, I'll rejoin. It’s a good product. If you follow that program, you'll lose weight. If you want to lose weight fast, it will.

A friend of mine started Medifast and I went with them too. The first three days is always the hardest, but once you're over the hump, you're fine. Medifast has been great. I lost weight, had improved energy, and I even sleep better at night.

I was in Sacramento picking up something and the guy at the house there told me that he’d lost a hundred pounds on Medifast. He used to weigh 300, and now he looked really great and was nimble. That encouraged me to try it and I thought if that worked for him, maybe it would work for me too. And it did. I’ve lost 24 pounds in little over a month. All the results I wanted are coming true. I feel great but I’m very careful with it. The first time I started, I was hungry and was trying to eat again. It’s also a little expensive but it's okay since it’s working. Additionally, their customer service picks up the phone right away and resolves any kind of questions I’ve got the few times I called them.

I started with Medifast about four years ago. I knew of it from acquaintances that had success with it. I have lost 35 pounds and kept it off. I altered eating and I use Medifast's breakfast and snacks. I feel fine and I have lots of energy. I'd recommend it.

Once I adjust to a diet, I do great. I felt like Medifast would be a good diet for me and I felt fine after using them. Also the reps were nice. They attended to the issue and it was resolved. But the prices are high and I wish they would not raise their prices anymore.

I followed the Medifast principles but I really don't like any of their food. I've been on them for a month or so and I had the starter kit but I didn't find that it was very appetizing. I should have bought something at the store. I don't like the taste and texture of their food. I can find very similar products with the same nutritional content for less money at the grocery store. They should work on their food formulations and that should be better. I lost 10 pounds, though. I recommend their principles but not the plan.

My friend told me that Medifast was good and she had lost a lot of weight. Everybody needs a different type of diet. For me, I need a lot of structure. I need to know exactly what I can eat and can’t eat and it’s very good that way because everything’s tightly controlled. I have also called in with a few customer service issues along the way and those people were accommodating and helpful.

I’m in the navy and needed to drop weight for my PSA so I went with Medifast. I ordered online through my phone and it's super easy. The first week that I was on it, I adhered to the program, I avoided eating junk and I lost 20 pounds. Even though the portions are so small, I wasn’t hungry in-between the meals. It helped me with my portion control. In addition, the guide for eating out and stuff was more helpful than the food itself because I can’t live off of Medifast for the rest of my life. Simply reading the dining-out guides whenever I get my beverages was super helpful. And then, I decided I wanted to eat real food and started drinking alcohol again. If I only kept up with the program, I would have met my weight loss goals.

My wife and I were thinking about losing some weight and wanted to do it relatively quick. We heard about Medifast through my mother-in-law who was a coach and so we used it. Medifast has been working. I'm down 34 lbs and the sixth week of using it ended on Tuesday. We still have a couple of weeks left. I've lost a lot of weight before and I'm hoping using Medifast would be a little faster.

I went on Medifast years ago. A friend of mine, Susie, who was administering it at that time told me about them. She said that I had to get a complete physical check from a physician before she would give it to me. And I went to a doctor’s office once a week and had blood drawn. And she kept a close check on me. At that time, I lost about 30 lbs and it miraculously stayed off for over a year. And if I had kept eating right and exercising, I feel like I could have left it off. But I went back to my old habits and put the weight back on.

I chose Medifast to lose some weight and it helped me achieve my goals. It was easy going through the diet and I'm fine with the results. I felt surprisingly fine after using it and for how few calories it had. I would tell a friend to give it a try but I would say not to order every bar they had. Those were horrible. They were chewy, sticky and they have a weird taste.

It could be scientifically proven what the amounts of potassium and other nutrients were on Medifast's diet plan. I’m happy with it and I’m still certainly using it. I definitely wasn’t hungry on it, which is a positive. And my doctor didn’t want me to stay on it day in and day out for a long period of time. So, my weight loss course has been less but it’s been consistent. I started at about 330 pounds and I’m down to 250. And then my doctor wanted me to have periods of time where I wasn’t on it and just eating regular food. I might’ve gained back about five pounds, but I still was able to stay within three to five pounds of what my weight has been with no stopping.

I'm in my second month now with Medifast. And I'm in a competition right now with someone doing Optifast at Kaiser. It's sort of a race to see who’s doing better and we compared the products and we looked at everything and Medifast is way ahead. The flavors, choices and the costs are much better with Medifast. It's a lot easier to order dry products and have it shipped to my home and it's so much easier to go online and check the flavors. I ordered enough each time so that I keep the shipping weight down. I loved it. I'm consistently losing 10 pounds a month, two and a half pounds a week. It is slow but sure.

I just started using Medifast. I had a friend who used them and had good success with weight loss. He recommended them and also, I had heard about it at my doctor’s office. It seems like a good program. It has a lot of perks and I've already got some rewards and they’ve delivered everything very quickly like they said. On initial weight loss, I felt a little fatigued. The meal is an effective way to keep you from feeling hungry, but I am tired and there are half of the products that I don’t care for the taste. And if you're eating it pretty much more than 90% of the time, you got to like the taste. I called Medifast and canceled. But I'll finish what I have. I spoke to one person and she was very helpful. I can't do it long-term but it was an efficient experience overall.

I came across Medifast when I did a lot of online research. I also have a friend whom I thought had weight loss surgery and it turned out it was Medifast. I signed up with them and my experience while going through the diet went really well. I also joined a Facebook group and they were really helpful. At first, I thought the food was not enough. The first couple of days were really rough but it got easier as I went through it. I also found that if I use the rice cauliflower, it plumps up a lot of stuff really nicely.

I had a medical procedure a few years back and they’ve put me on steroids so I gained a lot of weight. I’d tried a few other things and then after speaking with my girlfriend who had been using Medifast for almost a year, and she had amazing results, I decided to reach out to them. I’ve lost about 25 pounds so far. There were times when I felt it made me eat a lot more. At first, I thought these little portions were going to be horrible but then I realized that since I was eating more often, I was full. And when it was time to eat my next little Medifast meal, I was thinking, “I’m not even hungry.” So, it was enough. I’ve had more energy. It’s been really great.

I wanted to shed a few pounds and I wanted it to be easy and simple because I didn't want to go to meetings and things of that nature. A member in a networking group I met with told me about Medifast and I tried their program. I am still using it but I'm close to my goal weight so I stopped reordering. It was pretty simple and really easy to work with. The only thing that was lacking and maybe for a good reason is the meals. There were limited meals and I felt like I got repetitive ones. But the snacks were really good.

I was on Medifast with my sister-in-law and I lost weight and enjoyed it, but I want to live my life normally. I have used Jenny Craig, Nutrisystem and all other food supplements and it got tiring. I’m on Weight Watchers right now because I can eat real food, and it also has the same type of bars as Medifast. Also, I quit Medifast because it’s way too expensive. I’m not going to live my life eating expensive supplements or food. Now, I only order three things from Medifast like the bars and the oatmeal because I like some of them even though I’m not really on it. I eat them when I’m taking a trip or I need it when I’m in a long meeting.

I initially chose Medifast because I liked their plan. However, I was allergic to the soy in their product and broke out in hives. I had to return their products since I couldn't use them. I have received refunds and I wouldn't be using them again.

I've been on a number of weight loss programs before. With Medifast, I lost a lot and then I ended up gaining the weight back. And so, I've ordered some and had started again, but losing weight has not been easy the second time around. Medifast is more expensive but easier than some, and it's similar to others.

My wife really likes Medifast. She has had to go down a size and she’s still working on weight loss goals. It's easy to use and she likes the options and the fact that whatever she doesn’t like, she can customize it and send whatever back and get a new item.

I had used Medifast after my second child was born who is now 13. I have three children and I have lost all of my weight down to every bit of it, 12 pounds with my second child. Medifast worked well enough that while I was nursing, it dropped the weight and it kept me at a steady state where I wasn’t hungry and I had good success with it. But just as life gets busier and as my kids and everything is busier, it takes a lot of planning and it takes a lot of organization and being very methodical about grocery shopping and about meals, which is difficult for me, I’m finding myself needing to lose weight and would love to keep it off but that’s not where I am right now.

I was struggling with losing weight and nothing else was really working. I need to follow something, otherwise I'd just cheat all day. I've used Medifast before, about seven to eight years ago after I had my son, and just started it up again now. I have found that it is one of the only things that really worked well. I liked that there are more options for food than it used to be back then. I do all my ordering online, which is different than what it used to be, but I figured it out. I love Medifast's plan but I'm on a plateau right now, so it's a little frustrating. Once I get off it, I'll get going again.

A friend of mine used Medifast and it worked well for him recently. I also used it for a couple of months a couple of years ago and I started it again a month and a half ago. I was hungry and miserable for the first week and then I started to adjust and got used to it. I've been feeling good since and I have more energy. Overall, Medifast works great and it's totally inexpensive.

I require low blood sugar diet in order to lose any weight and so I chose Medifast. The first time that I used it I lost about seven pounds in the first week and that was great. But then I plateaued by the third week and never lost any other weight, which is why I initially stopped taking it. I’ve done things like the Whole30 before, and while Medifast is definitely going to help you lose weight, it’s not going to make you feel healthy or happy because it’s very processed. It’s not going to improve you through vitamins or anything like that.

I had used Medifast years ago and it was the best weight-loss method for me because it's all prescribed. It's easy to do and I've recommended it to people. I wanted to lose a few pounds, so I ordered that again. I get six to eight packets and a thing for $16, so it really works out for a dollar or two, but when buying multiple boxes at $17 upright, I'm like, "Whoa." The cost adds up but when you break it down per meal, it's not so expensive.

Ads that I have stumbled upon reminded me that people I knew lost weight using Medifast. Indeed, it works and I have now lost 30 pounds. Their shakes are very good and helpful, and their protein bars are awesome. I felt fine after eating them, but the diet is pretty strict. I missed eating fresh food like fruits and vegetables, but I cheat a little bit. For the first couple of days, I still grew hungry, but I got used to it quickly. Thinking about how much Medifast costs makes you stick with it. Now I feel satisfied between meals, maybe because we’re eating like every three hours and because of the protein incorporated in the diet. Also, Medifast's customer service is fine but I didn't want to use it to talk about weight loss. The only time I ever have to talk to someone was if I was having trouble when making an order on the website. It has been a good experience with Medifast. I'll use it again.

My husband had previously done Medifast, and I like that it's convenient. I'm in a very busy schedule and I don't have time to do a lot of meal prepping and preparing. As with any diet, the program was very difficult for the first two to three weeks. But at the same time, I had five servings a day, two or three hours later, and I knew I get to have a shake or something to curb my appetite.

I had trouble losing weight and I thought that Medifast might work so I decided to use them. I've used it on and off for five years and it has helped me achieve my weight loss goals. I feel good after using Medifast and that's why I went back to it. I've gone back two times to get off some weight and I've been successful each time.

I was overweight and I thought Medifast might work. I ordered it online and the process was good. When I got it, I didn’t start it for a week for some reason. But once I got it going it was okay. I only lost 10 pounds in three weeks, though, and I’m happy I lost some weight as I’ve never been on a diet before, but I didn’t think the food tasted very well. It had very bland flavor. But going through the diet taught me how to eat more evenly during the day. I didn’t use to eat lunch and then I’d eat a lot in the afternoon. So if I ate something in the early morning, then at noon and then in the afternoon, that kinda helped. I wouldn’t feel like I had to eat as much. Overall, it was an okay experience, but I expected more.

Medifast has helped me achieve my weight loss goals. The first three days are the hardest. But I always ate my evening meal so I made it through the day and looked forward to having my piece of chicken or my vegetables. Also, I can take the food with me wherever I go. It took me about six months to lose 35 pounds. It was amazing, but then I had a car accident and I've gained 20 pounds of it back. Then I started getting Medifast again and I'm not as motivated as I was.

A physician told me about Medifast, she had great success with it. I started it in April. The first two weeks took a lot out of me. I was having a really rough time and they talked me off the ledge a couple of times. I wasn't losing weight during those two weeks. Then all of a sudden, "boom" I was down ten pounds and then I got excited. By July, I was 40 pounds lighter. By Thanksgiving, I gained 20 of it back, just eating normal meals. I was okay with that too because I didn't think I'd keep it off because I wasn't doing anything but drinking shakes and eat a little lean and green. I did not do the weaning off process that they tell you to do when you stop it. I just stopped. I was just starving. It's tough to do because you don't feel well for a good ten days. That's how long it lasted for me then, it's like a first-trimester pregnancy.

My stepdaughter was on Medifast and lost a lot of weight. What I like about it is it's an easier option. I like the prepackaged meals. I can have my meals planned out, grab it, and go. And then at night, I can eat protein if I want to or I'll have half of the egg - half protein in the morning and half at night. I'm still working on my weight loss goals and figuring out what food I like and which is easier for me. Oatmeal is really easy and some things I can grab and go. There are some things that I don't care for but I'll have to eat eventually though. Nonetheless, I'm satisfied. I just need to know if I can replace the shaker cup or do I have to buy a whole new stuff.

I was impressed by some of Medifast's advertising, and I thought I'd give it a try. I've lost 90 pounds but then gained 60 back. Then, I've lost 30 pounds again. I was surprised at how I wasn’t hungry, and so it was easy to stick with. I still could stand to lose about 60 pounds but if I lost another 45, I’d be happy. However, right now, I need to stop for a while just because I can’t afford it. It’s hard to eat that food constantly forever and ever. I've run into some other expenses and I just can’t afford the $300 a month. But then, it's been a good experience and I’d probably come back again some time. I'd recommend Medifast to other people.

Medifast is a good company and they have a proven track record that can help people up. Years back I heard about them and I started trying them out when it was much more expensive to try than it is today. I went from 305 down to 240 and I'm still working on it. The portions were right and I felt good. I feel hungry and then it goes away as I get used to that diet. My bathroom routine changes and it goes when I go off the diet. I've been off and on for that last two years but I keep going back and get started again. I need to lose the rest of my 40 pounds against my goal weight.

My sister and her husband were on Medifast. They had really good success with it, so I tried it based on their success although I've had mixed feelings about this diet. I've lost 20 pounds in about two and a half months, but it's very hard to follow the way you're supposed to do it and I feel hungry a lot. The product is quite expensive too. Several people including my niece were on it too and they've done a lot better dealing with the diet. Maybe I haven't followed it as closely as I should and I go off of it a little bit at night which could be why I haven't lost more weight. I don't know if it's the right diet, but I've stuck with it. I was going to call and talk to a dietitian at Medifast but haven't done that. I've dealt with people at Medifast only when ordering the product and they've all been fine and professional.

I tried Medifast 10 years ago and lost 30 pounds. I wanted to try it again but it's not working for me. I'm still trying to use it a little bit because they won't let me return it. I want to send it back and they said that they sent me a label return, but I never got it. I called them numerous times and the head person called and said that they researched and it was sent to my email. I went back to my email and it wasn't there. So, it's not a good experience. Nonetheless, even if Medifast didn't work for me; it might work for others.

My dad had done Medifast before. I did it also back in 2012 and it worked for me so I did it again. The first couple of weeks were definitely an adjustment period but once I got by that, it’s really easy. They're satisfying meals and I couldn’t be happier with it. Medifast is perfect because I’m always on the go and it's easier with the bars and the shakes. I take a case of bars with me and it's awesome. I've lost 50 pounds on Medifast and I was really happy about it. Every day, I feel better getting up in the morning and I feel more confident. Also, the shipments always came on time. The experience was great and helpful overall.

I was on the Medifast program seven years ago. I just went back on it again for a couple of months. I really haven't lost weight this last time because I haven't been as conscious following the diet as I was the first time around. It does work if the program is followed because that's the way that it's set up. If one cheats and eats things that they're not supposed to or eat more than they're supposed to, obviously they won't lose the weight that they should lose. Nevertheless, it's a good program. I've actually recommended it to a couple of people when I did it the first time.

This product is very effective and was just what I needed for my condition and to live a better life free of strife and problems. The food quality is absolutely delicious. You can't even tell it's from a meal plan and it blows all over meal plans out of the water. I would eat this all the time. Also, customer support has been exceptional. I have been treated with the utmost care and I'm a completely happy customer. The value of this product is incomparable to any other options out there on the market. I'm happy with my purchase and definitely have gotten my money's worth.

There was a great variety of the food which is great because most weight loss plans don't have that. It gives us trying to lose weight great incentive to stick to the meal plans. They definitely keep up with their customers and make sure we are happy and satisfied with our plans. Also, they make sure we are on track and keep us that way. I used this product after gaining 70 pounds of baby weight and it did not take long for the weight to start coming off. Medifast is definitely worth the money it costs. It works and great at that and it's easy and completely great for any type of weight loss.

Medifast work great. I have already lost 5 pounds in my first week. On top of that, the food tastes great. The food quality is good. You get just the right amount of food. But not too much where you feel bad afterward. I feel very satisfied after I eat it. Customer service is very useful when you have a question. They are respectful if you are respectful to them. The value is okay but sometimes I do think it is a little expensive. But at least I know it works. I have never felt better about myself until now. Definitely going to keep buying it.

The effectiveness is super cool and it affects my smell so you guys should try it. It also affects your learning because you're learning twice. I really love food because you get to make anything so that food gives you the energy to move and stay active. Also, customer support helps you with stuff because it teaches you how to work it or move. Value is important because it matters about the deals and how much money it costs because everyone wants the lowest price every time.

I wanted something that is dummy proof because I'm very busy and I have a very stressful life. I needed something that would be easy. Then I heard about Medifast through my physician. The foods are very good for what I can have. I have very limited options because of food allergies, but they're great. The soups are good and the hearty meals are fantastic. The ready to drink drinks are perfect. The experience I've had so far has been very pleasant. Honestly, for a person who doesn't have food allergies, I don't think one could get a better diet. It's actually made with real food instead of being new to system or something with additives and different things in it. I have lost 15 pounds in the three months that I've been on it. I haven't achieved all my goals yet but it's a great progress.

I was trying to find an easy way to lose weight because I don't have time to go to the gym. I thought changing my eating habits would be a lot better, so I went for Medifast. It helped me out a lot. I was very hungry during the process and felt bad for the reason that everybody around me was eating junk food and they were especially teasing me after knowing that I was going through the program but it turned out good. Everything came organized and they provided a book. It was a good choice. I lost a total of 10 pounds and to be honest I wasn't even doing the course correctly as I have cheated. I really like the way that it worked. It's a good way to start going for that path of being healthy and in shape.

The first time that I ordered from Medifast about four months ago, they shipped to me a small amount of things, but they didn't ship to me everything that I ordered. They just sent to me some cleansing products and shakes, and they charged me $100 for these. So, at that point, I went with a different product. However, the next month, without asking me, they shipped to me the entire thing and they charged my credit card, even if I never do auto-ship. Although I didn't order these products for the second time, I got a big box of products that I didn't want and that cost me $500. So, I was not very happy. It was a horrible experience.

I was a G1 athlete with a lot of muscle mass and a six-pack. I gained 20 pounds when I got put on a medication for Lyme. I was trying to get back down to 135 cause I got up to 160. No matter what I did, I couldn’t and they said it was the medication holding on to the weight. I was bicycling 25 miles a day and running five miles and it didn’t make a bit of difference. In fact, I was gaining weight cause I’d get more muscle and looked bulkier. My doctor recommended Medifast and I did the On-the-Go first and lost 10 pounds in seven days.

A company that works - that stands for Medifast. I would recommend to all customers. Effectiveness immediately. Works for all customers that there is a need. It's Food that warms you up. It's high in nutrition, too. All around great food to eat whether in the hurry, on the run. I would feel better with Medifast. Also, they have great customer service that makes sure your needs are handled. It is worth every penny. Medifast is number one in my books.

I’ve had a friend and a coworker that used Medifast and I saw the great results that they got. It’s really awesome. I just got back from vacation. I have a route that I run when I’m on vacation and I was able to run it much easier and complete it with no problem. I haven’t been able to do that before because there are several large hills so I feel great. Also, the diet was very easy because I’m just mixing the food with water. It satisfies me and keep me from being hungry. I'm also within a couple of pounds of my weight loss goal.

I've used Medifast several years ago so I knew it worked. Also, the price was good at the time versus any other program that you might follow like Jenny Craig or Nutrisystem. I was enthusiastic at first and I saw immediate progress the first couple of days when everything was going well. But when I called to ask a couple of questions, I found out about the pricing and I got really disappointed and upset. I decided to stop. I'm using things as I feel like it and not following the program because I didn't plan to continue. Nothing's gonna change either because what I would be allotting for it is going to the car payment now. But I like the bars the best and the only thing I found is the timing with certain things when you put them in the microwave. I had some blow overs a couple of times until I figured out the timing. Also, everything was fine when I called them. It's a money thing but the product's fine.

I had a bunion surgery and I knew I would have limited activity following that to avoid pain. So I needed a balanced nutritional program to limit my caloric intake upon recovery. With Medifast, I survived eight-week recovery without gaining weight. Overall, it was structured and I had a positive experience with them.

An ex-wife told me about Medifast and out of five times, I achieved my weight-loss goals twice. If I’m on it for two months, I feel a lot more energy and I’m not quite as hungry. But for a month I’m starved all the time. I have Crohn's disease, so I can't eat endless amounts of salads and vegetables. That’s not a good solution for me. So, sometimes it’s difficult. But the meals are good and my blood work comes out good. I like the taste of everything and I reorder the stuff that I like the best. The soup and stew taste better than when they started.

I had a friend who, two or three years ago, did Medifast and she had a good success so, I thought I would check it out. The price was decent for what you're getting. My problem is the food is monotonous and most of it tastes terrible. The sad thing was that I feel healthy when I eat it but I feel unhealthy because it's mashed potatoes, chips and baked stuff. Then, in August, my husband and I did the Whole30 program and it's all about whole and real foods, vegetables and fruits. Medifast is a great quick fix for people who need to lose a lot of weight in a quick period of time but it doesn't feel as healthy as some of the other fresh food healthy programs. It's getting bad. I've already canceled the service and the lady I talked to was super nice and helpful. I definitely think it's a successful program but I don't know if it's the top one I would recommend.

Friends told me about Medifast and I’ve been using it for only about a month. I’ve noticed a little bit of change but I feel fine. The experience could be better if instead of getting the same thing every month, I can choose a little bit more. There are some things that I don’t like and getting them every month is a waste.

My sister had used Medifast and I did about three months of it about five years ago. It worked really well for me. I started again in January and had taken off 25 pounds. But I've been at a stalemate for the month of March and I just started again to get right back in gear. We live up in northern New York so it's winter and this time of the year gets really hard to push through with anything. I felt very sluggish. But I definitely can tell the difference when I'm on Medifast. I feel awesome. I had a gall bladder removed last fall and even with my just digestive issues, Medifast really helps. I am loving it very much.

I needed to lose a little bit of weight and Medifast helped me to achieve my weight loss goals. It’s tough to start with it, but once you get into a rhythm of using it, it’s not too bad. The food is not something you’d want to eat every day or all the time, but it’s great for weight loss. I'm still using Medifast and it’s doing what I wanted it to do. It’s working just fine.

A friend told me about Medifast and it was easy so I went with them. I've used it before and I was very successful. It helped me lose weight but unfortunately, I went off and then gained weight again and now, I'm back on it again. I feel fine and I have more energy. All in all, I like Medifast. It's slow and steady and it's a really good program for me.

I haven't been as faithful as I should in achieving my weight loss goals. In 2012, I got really serious and I did exactly as I was supposed to with Medifast and I stayed right on track. And because of that, I lost about 25 pounds. But over the years, I've gained it back again. I've been real diligent now. This is day three, and I'm already down three pounds. I know that if I stay focused and do it, then I'm gonna get the results I want. It's just that when circumstances creep in, the self-discipline flies out.

I like Medifast very much. If I want to order, I talk to someone and they are always good. Medifast is a very good weight loss program and more people should be on it. I like that they have a very big choice of what you would like to purchase and the fact that it's very easy to fix if you are out and you have to have lunch. You just have a bar and have water and you're done. It's very simple but you have to stick to the plan if you want to lose weight. Medifast wants you to have five meals and then have lean and green for dinner. The bad part is it's expensive. But once you lose the weight, you have to stay on a low-calorie diet. You can be on this forever so it's good. I would recommend them. The experience is good if losing weight is the final goal.

My experience with Medifast has been okay. I was on it for about seven months the first time and lost about 40 lbs. I chose to go back because it works for me. I just got through my first month and I’m a little off the wagon but I have lost about 10 lbs. I do eat five times a day and sometimes I don't feel hungry but there’s some things I don’t like. I'm gonna give them a call to try to switch out a couple of the products that I don’t like, provided they don’t charge me. However, I’ve been feeling very hungry recently but I’m exercising, too, so I don’t know if that’s it or whatnot. Nevertheless, Medifast does work very well if you do it and exercise. Next time, I’m going to go further. I quit too soon the last time. And I need to go through a transition which I didn’t do before.

I did Medifast like five years back and I lost a lot of weight. My brother was a representative and he sold it. And now, I just called up the number again online. I wanted an opportunity to lose weight again, and since it had breakfast and lunch, it's easier for me. Everything's pre-planned and I just eat what they give me. At first, it was hard because my stomach had to get used to the little bits every two to three hours. Now, it's like I can go the whole day without big meals and I think that's what's helping me to lose.

I have friends that tried Medifast and I wanted to try it myself. I followed the diet to the letter and it was not good. The food was inedible and it was too hard to swallow. I was able to choke it down, but I'd rather lose weight slowly than have to be miserable with what I'm putting in my body. Although I liked the bars and they tasted like a regular Granola bar. They also didn't pressure me when I went to cancel, which was nice. Overall I'm a bit irritated that I wasted money.

I did Medifast back in the late 80's when I was heading up a weight loss program at the doctor's chiropractic office in Waco, Texas. I've lost weight before and continued with Medifast after that. I use it to control my weight and it's a great program. It's always been a good experience. However, they've taken away all my favorite food. And I travel for a living and it makes it difficult. The cream soups were always the easiest to do on the road. I live in hotels and I don't always have a microwave, but I almost always got a coffee maker. So, if I can get 8-ounce of hot water and mix it with those cream soups, it was great. But they've discontinued all those so I don't like that. Other than that, Medifast is really successful. I like the bars, the shakes, and the different stuff. I have recommended them to friends.

I heard about Medifast from friends and it seems like it was working for others. Since going through the diet, I've had a reasonable weight loss and I feel satisfied between meals. I'm getting there in terms of achieving my weight loss goals.

I've known about Medifast for many years and they have lots of options as far as the meals go. It helped me choose smaller meals because they have portions. And if I eat portion meals and then drink plenty of water afterwards, I can go two hours. The portions are smaller, like with the bars or the bags of chips, but they're proper sized. I've lost a couple of pounds and I hope to lose more but I have lost enough.

A couple of years ago, a friend of mine at work lost a hundred pounds on Medifast and introduced me to it. His coach has also lost a hundred pounds so I gave it a shot. First time, having a coach was very helpful. There were times I got a little hungry and they told me I had to eat more. I did it for about three months and I lost 45 pounds. Then, I stopped because I hit my goals. And then, recently, I wanted to challenge myself for 90 days as a discipline kind of thing knowing I would lose weight but I didn't want to get caught up in numbers.

I was in a trial to Johns Hopkins. They had a program that I went through seven years ago and I had lost 75 pounds through them. I went 10 months and I had to go every week to check in, there was a doctor involved. But they used Medifast as their system. Then, I gained the weight back because I have cancer and I had to have chemo for nine months so that's what I've been kind of using since then. I'm using Medifast with something else that my doctor has given me as far as an appetite suppressant. I don't do well with all the meals being Medifast and I also had gotten a gout so it's better for me not to have four or five meals.

A friend told me that Medifast controls the amount of food you eat and that it was easy to use. I then decided to go with it and I’ve been using it for years now. It has worked for me and I definitely feel healthier because I lost weight. The supplement that has 9 or 11 grams of protein keeps me from getting hungry. And I didn't have to do a lot of preparation. Medifast is a good program, that's why I've recommended it to friends.

Medifast is a very easy thing for me to do. I will go throughout the day having four or five bars and then have a regular dinner at night and I can keep the weight off. I've been doing it for a long time and I feel a lot better and when I get off of it, I gain weight. Then, six or seven months ago, they've been wildly inconsistent. I get 10 boxes of the Smores bars and inside the same box, I'll have two or three that have no chocolate on the bottom or I'll have one or two that have no marshmallows on top. I'm throwing away a considerable amount of bars because if I only get to eat four or five bars a day, I don't want them to be devoid of chocolate. I want the product to be right. I called 30 days ago and told them that they should fix the problem and I was disappointed with their response because they didn't like that I pointed it out. But this last problem notwithstanding, I've recommended it to a number of people.

Medifast has been successful for me and I've been using it on and off for years. I called last week when I placed my last order but I didn’t realize I signed up for monthly deliveries. I got a shipment which was okay, but then I didn’t want the shipment in February because I only use it for maintenance right now. The guy who I spoke with was very helpful. All in all, I love the product and I like that they've got the soups. I feel happier, healthier and satisfied. I don’t overeat with it and it keeps me full. I tell everybody about Medifast and they see the results in me.

I worked with a nephrologist who used Medifast and he lost 100 pounds. I also went with it and I have lost 4 pounds so far, and it's in the right direction. There are plenty of options and I'm satisfied with the meals. However, some of the food taste like vitamins. My bedtime snack is vitamins-infused wine and if they can also make a wine for snack, that would be perfect.

Medifast is helping stabilize my blood sugar. I also don’t feel as many swings as I normally do when I was eating like I did previously. It's nice to feel consistent and not craving things. I start to feel hungry about every two and a half to three hours. Their website is pretty user-friendly, and they’ve expanded with some of the snack options recently. I recommend them.

My daughter and my granddaughter both had amazing success on the Medifast program a couple of years ago and in fact, they both hit their targets. Unfortunately, they didn’t do the follow-up so they're back on it now. We're all going on a big vacation in April and I cannot go down there looking like a manatee so I'm on it too. The first couple of days were a little rough because I was used to eating whenever I wanted which was every time I get tired or frustrated, which was a lot. And so being structured, even though it's two to three hours between eating anything, was hard, I did it and I'm getting good results. I'm not hungry between meals and if I do get hungry, I'll look at my watch and my water bottle and realize I haven’t had enough water. So I try to drink half of it before lunch and the other half before I go to bed which fills me a bit or I'd notice that it's time to eat something. It's like listening to my body instead of my emotions.

My daughter heard about Medifast from a friend. She tried it and it works very well for her, so I decided to try it too. It was the only thing that really worked and did so really well for almost a year. Medifast sends packets of dried food and it’s self-serving. You're only having bread or carbs, other than what they designate. They didn’t give a meal plan. You can eat so much of this and it’s counted as a condiment or counted as a protein. But if you stick to eating the little meals, they’re about 100 and some calories per meal. You eat one of these meals every three hours.

Medifast was recommended by my doctor and though it didn't help me achieve my weight loss goals, it showed me a way to do it. It was very informative having their recipes, their portion size, and the frequency. I could see or read other comments of people who never feel full but I felt fine in between meals. Also, the options they gave me were more than I expected. However, I cancelled with them last month because of expense reasons.

Having always struggled with my weight I have been extremely happy to finally have something that is working for me. It has helped me to lose 30 pounds so far and hopefully more. The shakes are quite tasty and very filling. You won't be disappointed in your choice. Especially when you're running around all sexy fit! This has been a miracle worker for me and I would gladly pay whatever asked plus some to get these shakes. I can't put a price on finally being healthy. Customer support is also friendly and knowledgeable about their product. All questions were quickly answered and they were very helpful.

I listen to a lot of AM radio and Medifast is on the radio all the time. They were also handy that’s why I decided to go with them when I got sick and tired of being sick and tired. And just last week, I noticed that I had to hitch up my pants another notch on my belt and that’s a good thing. However, I'm feeling hungry between meals. I still have a craving for sugar especially after lunch.

I was on Medifast years ago. When I first did it, there was nothing but shakes but now, there are more options. From time to time, I go on it to lose a little weight and when I reach what I want, I get off of it and enjoy life. I recommend it to all my friends. It's not going to fill them up, but they have to train themselves to get used to it.

Several years ago, some of our professional acquaintances had used Medifast and highly recommended it, so my husband and I tried it. We went on the program together five years ago, and were very successful on it. But maintenance has been an ongoing issue. My husband had decided that he wanted to go back on the plan and lose some weight and then go back and do maintenance. I lost weight as outlined by the plan, anywhere from three to five pounds a week. I was satisfied with the food, but my husband struggled more with it. At the time we started, they didn't have any entrees and things that we got this time around.

My goal is to be at 200 pounds. I’ve done Medifast's program for 30 days and lost 14 pounds. It also taught me some good eating habits like snacking throughout the days. There were times I would feel hungry but if I stuck to the timeframe, I was fine throughout the day. Also, there are some meals that I preferred over others. I still have 17 pounds more to lose and I’ll get there.

Four years ago, somebody from my husband's office had been on Medifast, so I decided to give it a try. At that point I achieved my weight loss goals. I've been using Medifast off and on for several years. It has been just as snacks at the moment or as breakfast sometimes, and not as a diet per se. We limit ourselves to some choice bars and my husband and I like different ones so I order bunch for both of us.

I started taking Medifast, and I was fine! I ate all my meals. I ended up being hungry most of the time, and the meal times didn't really work out very well with my life, but I did it to my best ability. I took it for almost a year. I lost a ton of weight and started to transition off of it. The transition was hard, and I did start to work out like they suggest. Within about 8 months, though, I gained all the weight back. So Medifast works, but only while you're on it.

Medifast is effective at keeping you healthy and fit. They have a good variety of meals choices that are healthy and they are portioned for just the right size, and you can have effective and healthy weight loss with this product. The food quality is great. They have snacks, cereals, soups, smoothies, etc and they even have a recipe book for you to make your own healthy dishes. The foods are portioned so you eat just what you are supposed to eat. Customer support is fantastic. They are there for you when you have any questions about the meals, drinks, desserts, and even the meal planning, and the prices of the plan. Also, the value is a good one. First, you can start with the 2 week trial and if you like the program you can join for $10.46 a day, which is great. You have your 3 major food groups and a dessert included. There are 56 meal varieties.

I’m very happy with Medifast. I lost weight pretty quickly and it has helped me achieve my weight loss goals over certain periods of time. I'm having a meal every two and a half hours on the Jump Start Program. I wake up at 6 o’clock in the morning to go to work and I don’t want to have something where I have to sit and spend so much time in preparing. If a diet plan takes cooking this kind of egg in the morning, I'm not going to take the time to do it, so that's why Medifast really works for me. I take my coffee, vitamins and the oatmeal which is tough enough to prepare but it only takes 45 seconds then I'm done. Up until 1 o’ clock or 1:30 ‘o clock, I feel great in spite me being busy in the morning.

Medifast was a little cheaper, but after I had bought it, I read the ingredients and saw it’s all processed and everything has preservatives in it so that's not healthy for me. I tried it and during the first three or four days, my experience was rough but my body adjusted after and it felt good. I liked that the best. I lost weight because the amount of calories is so minimal but on the other hand, it's not right for me to eat processed food only. I did it for a few weeks and then I put it away.

Medifast is great to use especially if you are trying to lose weight without taking a lot of pills. It allows you to eat a sensible meal with the plan that they have. I've lost more weight than I expected in just 3 months. The food is great. They give you many options to choose from as far as a meal or a snack. The portions are a nice size just so you don't overdo it. It all has a great flavor that you can get use to eating.

Loved the product and would recommend Medifast to anyone. Very effective product and there's a variety of wonderful flavors. The shakes are really great and the food quality capabilities is very high. I usually drink the shakes daily, and my favorite flavor is chocolate. Positive results with exercise and eating right. Plus the customer support was extremely high for most of the employees that work with Medifast. Answered all my questions in a speedy fast time frame.

Saw improvement almost immediately, and definitely have more of a quality of living. I was happy to decide to start using Medifast. The food was not five stars but decent for the benefits. Plus when I need to use customer service it was a decent experience. They were friendly and not judgmental. The knowledge of the representative was also pretty solid. All of my questions have been answered to my satisfaction. I'm big on getting what I pay for, and with Medifast I did just that. There are others in this market that I can't say the same for. Good food and a decent price is good value to me. I would recommend it to family and friends.

A friend of one of my daughters has had a very good result with Medifast, so I and my other daughter tried the program, too. When I started four years ago, I had lost 35 pounds but I gained 10 pounds back recently, so I took their plan for three months continuously and lost 12 pounds already, so I’m back to my target weight. While I was on the program, I wasn't hungry, didn't have a headache or any mood swings. In three hours, I did not feel like I’m deprived and I was perfectly fine. I have told a couple of people about Medifast. They tried it and they are doing great right now. I had a great experience and when I'm back from my out of country trip, I will contact them again.

I did Medifast a couple of years ago and had a lot of success with it. I was on their Go plan and it fit into my lifestyle pretty easily. My top 3 food items were the s'more bar, the chocolate mint bar, and the cookie soft bake. I got some shakes, some other bars, and the pancakes which I like, too. They're good!

There are so many products out there that it's hard to trust but Medifast have had really good reviews and I was happy with that. Medically, it didn't seem too harmful. Plus, it's convenient. However, I work in a school and in the past, it's always very hard for me to use the microwave for many of the foods, so the grab and go foods were always optional versus the pudding which was time-consuming. Every time I get the box, I don't use it for pudding so in a way it was a waste of money. Some of the products are really hard because it's not convenient to always have a microwave ready and accessible for some of the meals. Other than that, it was fine and manageable.

I learned about Medifast from a friend of mine that tried it and had a lot of success with it and so a couple of years ago I also used it when it was strictly the 5 & 1. Now there's the 4 & 2 and there are a lot of other plans that may help. I've thought about getting back on it because when I was on it, I lost 49 pounds. Since I've used Medifast my diet has changed remarkably. A lot of things improved including blood pressure and cholesterol. The only thing I could suggest is that the app could be worked on. Overall it's a great program. I recommended it to a lot of my family members.

I was on medifast for close to a year. My goal weight to lose 17 pounds. I was unable to stomach the food so I lived on shakes and bars. Barely edible. I felt like I was always starving and the snacks were not helping. Aside from the bloating and loose stools they warn you about, I was always dizzy, had nausea and felt like I was going to pass out. If I caught the smell of real food, it would trigger terrible hunger pangs. I understand that this diet has been very successful with others but it did NOT work for me. My total weight loss after starvation because that is what it felt like plus exercising 5-7 days a week while on the diet only yielded a 10 pound loss over 6 months. Within 4 months I gained it all back and 6 months after that I put on a total of 30 pounds.

I'm on Medifast's Flex plan for about three weeks now and it was quite easy signing up. Implementing it to my lifestyle has also been going okay and I don’t have any complaints. It’s better than what my sister described.

My wife is using Medifast to lose weight and she's lost about 15 lbs so far. I order the products online for her and she takes them to work. She likes those soft chewy bars. We used to get the crunchy bars but she told me they taste like cardboard to her, so she’s trying to get rid of those. She started with oatmeal which she liked in the past but doesn't anymore. But she really likes the mashed potatoes. When I got the wrong ready-made shake delivered to me, their reps were super in helping me return it for a credit. That was terrific.

My friend was doing the Medifast program and I used it because of her results. My weight loss has been a little bit slower than her but my bloodwork has improved and my cholesterol's gotten a lot better since I started the program. I'm definitely seeing improvements with weight loss. Then, I was a little confused on how to get the health coach. My friend has a health coach that works with her and I thought that was through Medifast. I did the online chat and the rep told me it wasn't through Medifast. I also didn't like some of the food for the first month and the only option was to get the sampler and some of the food was not what I would have picked out for myself. But I was able to tailor my food packages for the second month and it was good.

Medifast is the best product in the market as far as I'm concerned. I've tried lots of different things and I think that it is the perfect food for my body. I found out about it from a sister-in-law years ago and tried it. As far as weight loss, I have achieved 25 pounds and I'm looking to drop about 15 and I'll be at goal weight. I don't like fake food so I never buy any of that fake food but I do the shakes and have been buying consistently.

Medifast is very effective. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone. I would rate this whole thing ten out of ten a million times over till the day I die. The food quality capabilities are incredible and their technologies are so innovative and creative. Also their customer support is off the charts. Every time I call people are nice and make me feel like they care about me and my concerns and issues.

Medifast does what say they do. They listen to me and what I want I can ask all the questions I want. Customer support are always there for you if you need to ask them questions about the food or about how much you should eat and motivate you when you're feeling down. The food tastes like food not cardboard and it fills you up all day not hungry till its time to eat again. Breakfast, lunch and dinner is all you need but the snacks are good too. You get what you pay for good food that taste like food and it does not cost a lot of money to get what you want to look good and eat good.

I used Medifast years ago to lose weight and it absolutely helped so I went back to it. I experienced a steady gradual weight loss while going through the program which was easy to follow and very convenient. After using Medifast, I feel healthier and happier and it's because I feel better about myself.

I didn't recognize a fellow I haven't seen in four or five months and thought he had gotten a haircut. He said he's been on Medifast and his doctor put him on it. Long story short, I then did some research and my wife and I both decided to start the program. We've been on it for 12 days and at first I'm overwhelmed but it's been going really well. The variety of the foods is really good and the idea of being able to customize your subsequent orders to reflect your preferences is also good. Customer service is very good.

My sister has tried a lot of other diets and Medifast worked well for her and she lost 30 pounds on it. I purchased the two-week plan and it jump-started my healthier eating. I found that using the products kept me satisfied. I didn't have cravings nor get that hungry, empty feeling that I've got in other diets. In fact, I had trouble eating as much as Medifast suggested. I've been on Weight Watchers and lost a lot but I don't like being limited to foods and it was expensive too. But I have decided not to continue with Medifast, but not because it's not a good program. I just want to live the life of lean and green and reduce carbs.

After some internet research and talking to other people, I decided to choose to go with Medifast. I haven't completely achieved my weight loss goals, but there's already a significant difference. I'm very pleased with it. Since using Medifast, I feel happier and healthier. I'm definitely making better choices now. The diet was very efficient and convenient, especially for someone who had several kids.

Medifast helped me achieve my weight loss goals. It was quick but I wasn't starving. The meals were good but there wasn't a whole lot of variety. I feel like I was very successful the first time I did it so it was worth it for sure. The support person in Lafayette emailed me a few times and kept supporting me. I also asked some questions and he was wonderful. But then after I quit, I didn't transition and I gained the weight back. I want to go back but the thought makes me cry because it is so strict. It's hard but I was very satisfied.

I weigh 120 pounds and I'm 5'6". I don't really need Medifast for weight loss. But there are a lot of people who fast like me. I fast a lot for religious purposes. And if you want to have the healthy, most appropriate choice, go for Medifast and that's one of the reasons I chose it. I've heard so many good things about Medifast and I also heard that lots of doctors used it to lose weight. The banana flavor shake which they no longer carry was the best one. It's healthy, delicious and it satisfied my hunger. I don't have to add any type of Sweet 'N Low, Splenda to satisfy the taste. Lately, I added some Greek yogurt to it which gave me some substance, a little bit more filling.

I was more full while on the Medifast diet two years ago. But my mom and I stopped using it and we regretted that so we did it again. I feel more motivated now and have recommended Medifast to other people.

I like Medifast and my mom has them too. I've done Weight Watchers but I could eat whatever I wanted and I wanted something stricter. Medifast is more structured for weight loss and it's pretty easy to follow. I take a blend of both their meals and shakes since in different situations, I need something quicker. During the first couple days, I didn't think I was having enough but now, it's fine. I'm getting to my goal and I lost seven pounds already. I've recommended Medifast to a friend.

I wanted to lose ten pounds so I used Medifast. I've lost eight pounds and my experience has been great. My only complaint would be the taste of the food but some of the food is really good. Overall, it's set up well.

I've been using Medifast on and off and I have lost five pounds. I am not left super hungry, however, I wouldn't eat brownies or some of the snack foods that they have because it's too many carbs. The way they put it in the products there's enough kind of protein, that it bounces out so that's fine if you eat and it's also low calorie, but maybe they could find other ways to create the snacks. They're very sweet and I'm not such a big fan. But other than that I'd recommend Medifast.

My friend recommended Medifast. He has done very well with it and I knew he wasn't being photoshopped because I saw him in person. I was considering another company but they only had shakes and there was Purging which got me concerned so I decided not to go with that. I had done Weight Watchers years ago but it wasn't practical for me because the main events were getting weighed in and making the meeting which I couldn't do. But it sounded interesting and didn't sound as painful as some of the others.

Medifast was so helpful and made meals and eating healthy easier. I ended up losing about 20 pounds in 3 months. The food quality was great. Everything tasted really fresh and flavorful. There is also a good variety of different foods and snacks for you to eat. I am happy with the overall value of Medifast because you get a good amount of healthy products for a decent price to help you lose weight and be healthy.

I didn't lose any weight and the food was not really all that good. I didn't care for the selection. I do not like green eggs and ham. Customer service was unhelpful and hard for me to get an actual person to interact with. I did not get timely replies to my emails or inquiries. Medifast was very expensive for the price and for the service and quality I received. I'm very disappointed I couldn't get any money returned to me even after I expressed my disappointment

We've done Medifast in the past. Thomas was unsatisfied in between meals at first but then got used to it. We had to open two separate accounts so we could order but it was hard to figure out how to cancel one. We appreciate the no charge on shipping. We usually end up placing an order for over $300 which would still qualify for that. But they make us sign for it to be recurrent which is brutal. We don't like that it automatically sends to us every month or that we have to call and change it. It's better for us to place the order when we're ready for it.

Product works very well but shipping rate is too expensive! Only free shipping at $250, other than that, normal standard shipping rate is more than $20!! Single item package retail at $19.50 but shipping is more than the product! In the end we have to look for alternative product!

This diet should be called "medinightmare". My mother and I started this diet the same week. She was 80lbs over weight and I has 30lbs. We started well and following the diet perfectly. We both lost about 30lbs but exactly after 3 months I had a massive seizure that I had to go to the hospital and was admitted for a night and was diagnosed as epileptic, now I am medicated. Then 2 days later that same week my mother had a hemorrhagic stroke and she lasted 5 weeks (3 of them in ICU) in the hospital and then 3 months in rehab. If you are considering doing this diet please make sure you do not have any tendency for seizures, stroke or heart failure.

Resolved and thankful for my counselor.

I believe that it worked well for me. I did not like how restrictive I felt it was but the results showed for themselves. I was happy with what I saw and experienced yet I do not want to continue with it. The food quality was great. It was delicious and had a variety to choose from. I wish that I could eat more of it... is part of the problem but I enjoyed the food that I ate! I would recommend. Customer support was great. They were very kind and understanding with me. I felt very comfortable opening up and being personal with them so that they could assist me the most. I believe the value was worth the price! I know some others that I spoke to disagreed yet I enjoyed my experience for the majority and the value I believe I received was valuable!

I called customer support as directed, for an authorization to return items. I sent them back with that number clearly marked on the address label and inside the box. After not receiving the exchanges when three weeks passed I called to check on it. Customer service had no record of the return being shipped back. They suggested I try back with the Post office for them to review their receipts of that day and get me the tracking number. I was unable to do it that day but the next day I received an email from customer support saying my exchange order is ready to ship. I called and asked to have some items modified and they said that it was too late, as the shipment went already. I asked how the shipment could be out so fast when, literally, 24 hours prior I was informed that they had no record of receiving my items. Unable to answer. Makes me concerned is all.

It works great right. Every time I use it it makes me feel good. Very efficient and very recommendable to others that I know and they will love it too. The quality of the food is amazing. It taste great and has no bitter aftertaste. I feel very healthy and my energy is really high, and I feel more happy. The customer service is great. They are quick and get all my questions answered right away. They are nice and know their information. Like being a part of the family. The value is 100%. You get what you pay for and not breaking the bank either. Very inexpensive for the product you receive. That is why I keep coming back.

The drink is high in protein and makes you feel very energetic. Lots of energy to get around. Not being tired or fatigue. I like it totally. It's a great food substitute for heavy food when hunger. It's good to wake up to and great to use at any time of the day. When you try it hopefully you will enjoy a great experiences and include it when you want to change or diet. It has great flavor and taste. Once you try it you can recommend it to others. It gives you a great sense of support and a sense of great energy that you need in your everyday life. You can do your morning workout by enjoying Medifast. It's something that you will learn to trust in your life. The Medifast value is something that can never be compared as being a good value. It's worth the price and it's something that you can enjoyed.

It supplies and helps my needs. It's very good, reliable, innovative, progressive, and advanced. It's a trustworthy product and the company is reputable. It nutritious. They have strong business practices. They produce strong, natural healthy products that help ensure your health. They have high standards they live up to. They are very helpful and resolve issues very fast and efficiently. They are professional and courteous. They detail-oriented and they actually care about their customers. The value of their product is very good and high. It seems to me that you actually get more than what you are paying for. Not only do they give good prices but they also give you quality.

This program was the best I have ever tried. The difference was having a health coach. The food is delicious and the results were excellent and maintainable. You eat a normal dinner every night. Your health coach keeps tabs on you and guides you along the way. I was able to lose 40 lb. in 6 months! This was done strictly for health issues and my doctor approved of the plan. I was borderline diabetic and after the plan, my numbers are normal. I read all of the plan's books so it helps you realize the importance of maintaining a healthy weight for life. There are website and FB page for support, people all across the country cheer each other on. I would highly recommend this program.

So I started this program two weeks ago and all I can say is that I am very pleased! I have a coach and she is wonderful! I do think the food in the kits is terrible and I prefer only select foods so it has been costly in the beginning but now I know what I like and I only order that. I wish there was a website where people actually posted reviews on the food so I wouldn't have to waste money buying the stuff that stinks. I have lost 8 lbs in two weeks (5 lbs the first week and 3 lbs the second). I think I would have lost more the second week but I celebrated a birthday with a wee bit of cake. ;)

The effectiveness is awesome and I would recommend it to anyone that wants to use this service and support the best industry I have used. Great food quality and service providers are awesome. I'm glad that I used this food service and it's been a great pleasure to do so. So therefore I will continue to use it. Greatest customer support and satisfaction I have ever dealt with. Great value for the money and anyone interested in this service is guaranteed to be happy with everything that it has to offer.

A great meal replacement that not only tastes good but also holds you over. I never felt hungry afterwards and it also helped curb cravings. I'd say it worked well and did its job. The quality was good. I've tried different brands that do the same thing and always felt dissatisfied afterwards with the taste and texture. Didn't have that problem with Medifast. It was good. Anytime I had any questions they were always quick to respond and help me get the answers I needed. Very responsive and I never had to wait long to get the information I needed. Of course people always want more for less money. I just think that they could do better promotions or different types of offers and what not to bring new customers in or retain the ones they have.

Works pretty well but kind of hard to stick to regularly if you are not used to dieting. Don't feel extremely hungry either in between meals when on this program. Food quality is ok. Portions are not that big but I wouldn't expect them to be huge either but a little bigger would be nice. Food tastes good though and the desserts are not bad either. I would totally recommend customer support. Very helpful and very caring and took the time to answer all of my questions and explain everything in great detail. I give Customer Service 5 stars. It was ok. The money value of the program really is not that expensive but could be a little cheaper for people who do not have a ton of money. That would be my only complaint about that.

I tried Medifast after hearing ads on the radio. The counselors were nice enough. I carefully followed the program to the letter and had very little success after the first week (about 3 pounds). The packaged food is almost inedible. Seriously, some of the most disgusting food I'd ever put in my mouth! After a summer of struggling to stay on the plan, hundreds and hundreds of dollars, and down just a few pounds, I quit! Such a miserable program! Horrendous food, very costly, total disappointment. Lost only about 12 pounds in 3 months. I figured it cost about $100/pound. Would never, ever, ever recommend!

Honestly it may have been more effective if I had used it as directed and for a longer time period. So it was probably partly my fault that I did not get the results I had hoped for. Personally for me the food was not as flavorful as I would have liked it to be which is probably for the most part why I didn't stay with it longer than I did. The customer support was satisfactory as far as I was concerned. Options were suggested to me that I decided to decline, pretty much for the reason I stated previously. I didn't care for the taste. For me personally the value wasn't that satisfactory. I honestly feel you can achieve the same goals by using other methods, probably for less expense.

The overall effectiveness of Medifast was surprising. The weight loss item really helped me lose weight, and gain the confidence I was looking for. The overall food quality for Medifast was good. The meals had a good serving and proportions for weight loss. I would highly recommend using the customer support options for Medifast. They are supportive and help customers with weight loss options and meals. The overall value is great for customers.

Medifast has been around for a number of decades, and at one time was only available via physicians. However for some years the products have been available to anyone online. Medifast offer meal replacement products typically formulated to be low-calorie and low-fat, and containing optimum levels of vitamins. The formula will generally take users into a mild state of ketosis. Another compared Medifast with diabetes medication. The study found Medifast more effective at controlling type 2 diabetes than an ADA-recommended program. One issue with Medifast is the long-term consequences especially coming off the program. The transition phase is 4-6 weeks, and starts off by introducing oatmeal at breakfast, and fruit for snacks.

I started the Medifast program in June 2013. I lost a total of 43 pounds on the program. I was on the Medifast five and one program and found that it was very easy to stay on. The Medifast life coach that I had contacted me each week and provided me with the information that I needed to continue on the program. The amazing thing about Medifast and the five and one program is that I was really never hungry. The program is set up so that you're eating low carb meals every three hours.

It worked pretty well but it was not the best that's for sure. For the first 2 weeks it was great but after that everything seemed the same. Over all it had a good effect but not the best. It was very delicious and had a good feel in my mouth, it felt great after I ate it. It did not give me any problems after I consumed it. So overall it was very good and I greatly enjoyed my experience with its quality. The customer support was good, the people were very friendly and nice. They seemed to know what they are doing and have helped me greatly. I was overall very happy and enjoyed myself with them. The value was great and a very fair price. Highly recommended for the price. It was not cheap but it was not too expensive at the same time. Overall great and fair pricing for the product.

Very helpful and hope to have it once more. Sometimes I woud like to use it once in a while so I would recommend it to other people who want it just like me and hopefully they would like it just like me. Very delicious. People all around would love to taste the wonderful food and bring joy to their day. A lot of people would love to try the new foods to bring joy. Very helpful and I would love to keep it that way. I hope that they will improve just a little bit more to get it basting with character. I hope everyone enjoys just like how I did. Very fair - I think it is one of the best value I have had and I hope they keep it that way so I want to thank them for that and I hope they keep up the awesome work.

Though it kept me from starving or caving in from hunger in moments I felt like I ate more when I finally got to eat a meal. The flavors were great and many to choose from though. The food had great taste and texture. It kept well and tasted great. There is a wide variety to choose from and you get what you pay for. They were helpful, supportive and extremely friendly, nonjudgmental and intelligent. They were well informed and knowledgeable about all the Medifast products. While it is a little pricey, especially for someone like me living on a very fixed income, in the end it is worth the money spent as it truly works - is simple and tastes great.

It provided quick and safe weight loss. The meals were tasty. I liked that it included deserts. I liked I could integrate it with real food. I liked the different flavors of shakes and the variety of bars and bakes. The turkey meatball marina was very good. The variety of snack foods was very tasty and satisfying. A Facebook friend had recommended it to me. The food journal and Medifast achieve plan guide was useful. I liked the exercise guide because it helped me formulate a plan for aerobic, low intensity and medium intensity exercise. It was very reasonably priced. I found the menu guide very helpful, as well as the other guides that were included. The healthy celebration and maintenance guides really helped.

Worked well for what it's meant to do. I was worried about other reviews that said it wouldn't. I would try again and refer family to use this. The food quality along with the variety of meals is missing the mark. I would like to see more meal options as well as a higher food quality. Have yet to deal with customer support. I have had no issues as of yet that would require me to call customer service. I had no issues with ordering. I have had a great experience thus far and will continue up to use. The value is pretty decent for what you are getting. Some may find that it is more expensive than other programs of the same type but are getting a good deal for what you are paying for. I like that I can pick what I want.

I'm giving this diet three stars because the diet WORKS. However, the food is absolutely disgusting. The only items I could stomach were the bars, shakes, and honey pretzel sticks. I felt extremely unhealthy eating this food. It is full of chemicals, preservatives, and sodium. I am normally a very healthy eater who just needed to "reset" and lose 10 stubborn pounds. Yes, this diet worked, but I dreaded mealtimes, and never felt satisfied after their food. I had very low energy for an entire week (not 2-3 days like they claim). I can't imagine how anyone with a lot of weight to lose can live through months of this diet. I practically cried at times.

I have been on so many different programs and never have I had one work so well. I was 280 lbs in November and now 5 months later I have lost 50 lbs. I have so much energy. The program is also teaching me about healthy habits of drinking water, getting plenty of sleep, adding fun exercise to my days, and eating healthy food in my lean and great meals. High fiber and protein even give me so much energy. I can keep up with my family and I am a teacher so I need to keep up with my 28 2nd graders too. It has changed my life.

I started Medifast on June 27, 2015. I was in a stressful situation. I had just gone to see my sister for the last time. She had terminal brain cancer. I began my journey with Medifast when I came home and started losing weight right away. I talked to my sister and her husband weekly. The simplicity of the Medifast program made it easy to lose the weight without the added stress of meal planning, grocery shopping, cooking meals, etc. My counselor was very understanding and helpful as I lost about 2 pounds a week. I lost a total of 40+ pounds and went from a size 12 to a size 4! The Medifast program was amazing and my counselor, Hannah and everyone on the staff were very friendly and encouraging along the way! I feel a lot healthier and in control of my body. Thank you Medifast.

My sons, 18 and 20 years old, started the Medifast diet 5-1 plan in July and continued for 2 months. They both did well through the program, tolerated it well, and both lost about 50 lbs each which they need to lose. They both had amazing results. The diet has also taught them to eat healthy and introduced healthy foods that they did not previously like to eat. The transition period went great and now 5 months later they've probably gained 5-10 lbs but it's no surprise because they're teenagers and do like to eat junk sometimes. The 18-year-old did not strictly stick to the diet, he would cheat once in a while and introduce dairy or carbs. He was always behind the 20-year-old in losing lbs, but he still met his goal of 50 lbs loss in 2 months.

I was on the Medifast program for about 6 months. I followed it perfectly to a fault. I lost about two pounds a week, sometimes less, but consistently lost the weight. Initially, I felt great but then after 3 months, everything changed. My stomach was constantly turning and eventually the gas became so bad I couldn't do anything. It was painful, smelly and uncontrollable. I was unable to go to the gym and struggled to work but continued the diet because it was working. Next was constipation. Although I had vegetables for dinner and drank tons of water, I battled with constipation. It eventually caused an anal fissure (ripped open). I now have to take Miralax daily for the rest of my life.

In Nov 2014 I went to Mayo in Scottsdale for studies on becoming a donor. I passed all tests with blood levels fine, no issues found in the week long of studies. In March of 2015 I started the Medifast diet and was on it from March until about June 2015. The food was extremely horrible and made me feel so dizzy and weird. They told me to eat more protein so I did however that did not make it help very well. I chose to stop the program because I was feeling so weird all the time and just was very uncomfortable about the way the food was making me feel.

I'm wondering if there have been any lawsuits. It seems that nearly all reviews are negative. Goodness! Hair loss, dizziness, etc. I lost ten pounds. I haven't experienced these things, but I do have complaints about the Indissolvable and inedible foods. How can this be legal?

I lost 30 pounds on this diet and gained it right back after stopping the program. The bars are sweet so it doesn't really teach you good eating habits. I tried to do the diet again because I received an email with a code for $25 off. The code was accepted when I entered it and then when I went to review the order, the code had disappeared. What a joke. I canceled the order and am completely disappointed with Medifast.

I ordered a month worth of product from Medifast in late May 2015. On July 15th they charged my debit card for an additional month without authorization. They claim we signed up for auto renew each month and they shipped a box of product to the same address as the original shipment went to. What they didn't know is we sold the house and moved out 1 week after the original shipment arrived, so there is no way we would have signed up for auto renewal.

I did not sign up for an auto renew account but my account automatically auto renewed. I ordered a month as I had success with the program in the past and had some leftover product to get me started, but gained weight in spite of following it to the letter of the law. They make it difficult to login or change your password, so I got a notice that I was billed $350 for a reshipment at midnight last night and immediately reached out to support to stop the order. They claim they cannot stop an order once it is placed which is nonsense as it won't ship for days. They also say I have to have call them back once I receive my order to get a return "authorization" which is completely a scam. I asked them to delete my account and stop the order and they claim they cannot. I'm really angry and used to say good things about them. Medifast you made an enemy.

I sent my product back as per Medifast return policy guidelines. The package was received by them Sep 8th 2015. I received an email dated Sep 14th 2015 stating that my return was processed and that it should take 14 days to receive my refund. It is now Oct 02 2015 and I have no refund. I called them Monday, Oct 28, 2015, to inquire about my refund and was told someone would call me back in two business day to resolve the issue. I received no phone as of today (02 oct 2015). I called again today to check the status and was given the run around again and given the same answer of "someone will call me in 2-3 business days". Buyer Beware. This is a horrible company. Their food has dangerously high levels of soy, and their customer service is deplorable.

They always sign you up for automatic shipments, don't warn you that you are about to be charged, and charge you for shipping if you refuse. I've been through this three or four times now and it's a huge problem, a huge hassle, and they have terrible customer service & absolutely don't care. I lost about 20 pounds on Medifast and immediately gained it back, plus, over the course of the year I was on Medifast. The food tastes terrible and it's impossible to stay on.
