Lindsey Price Articles

By: Lindsey Price:  I often hear from people who are concerned that they are going to have challenges on the medifast diet.  They will often tell me that they don’t have any willpower.  Or they will say that previous diets haven’t worked.  They will tell me that they are confused about how the diet works or when and how they are supposed to eat.  Common comments are things like: “I have some friends who have had good results on medifast, but I’m worried that it will be too hard or too confusing for me.  I have tried many diets and I have failed at them all.  I usually start out OK but then I get overwhelmed at keeping track of everything or I get bored.  Is this diet a huge challenge?”  I will address these questions in the following article.

Why I Don’t Find Medifast As Difficult As Previous Diets:  Understand that what I’m about to tell you is only my opinion.  Everyone has their own. But honestly, to me, medifast is the easiest diet that I’ve been on.  The main reason for this is that there just isn’t very much to figure out.  You never have to count calories or keep track of carbs or proteins.  You don’t really need to keep track of what you have eaten because all of the meals have roughly the same amounts of calories and carbs.  All you really need to do is to eat five of the meals that they send you and eat one main meal (called the lean and green) that you make yourself or buy frozen or from a restaurant.  The main criteria for the lean and green is that it is lean protein and low glycemic vegetables.  It is just not that difficult.  You can make a soup or stir fry.  You can have lean protein and a side of two vegetables.  Or, you can do a one pot meal.  It’s very easy to find recipes for this.  You can even use frozen foods if you are careful about your choices.

I also actually really like eating six times per day even though in the beginning this was one of my biggest reservations.  I just didn’t think I could fit all those meals in.  But what I didn’t realize is that they are small ready made meals.  It’s no big deal to have a bar on the go or to just unwrap a straw and have a shake.  I mean, if you can unwrap or microwave a food item, then this is really all that you are required to do for most of the time.  Also, I really liked that I wasn’t required to weigh or check in, although help and counselor was available if I wanted it.  And no, no one monitors your exercise, but it is encouraged if you want to do it.  And they do provide you with free resources for it.

One of the things that I find the most helpful about this diet is that the support.  The Medifast Official Site has tons of blogs and forums where people can support one another or just share their experiences.  It took a while before I was comfortable commenting, but just reading about other people’s experiences and even triumphs was a huge help.  So I guess my response to this person’s concerns is that I don’t find medifast very difficult.  But if you do, there is a lot of support and people willing to help with any challenges that you might have.

By: Lindsey Price:  People often ask me what is the secret to getting the lowest or best price on medifast foods.   Diet food is no different from every day groceries.  No one wants to pay more than they have to.  After all, food costs are typically somewhat flexible, meaning that if you shop carefully or use coupons, you can generally shave some money off of your total.  The same is true with medifast food.  The old stand by principles of buying in bulk, cutting out the middle man, and using coupons do apply here.  I will go into this in more detail in the following article.

Buy In Bulk:  It is not unusual for me to hear from people who are new to the diet who are seriously considering ordering their foods individually.  I understand that this can feel more “safe” since you are not shelling out as much money in the beginning.  But here is what you need to understand if you are considering this strategy.  When you need to eat five medifast meals each day in order to maintain maximum weight loss, you are going to need to buy a lot of individual foods to be able to have enough.  And, once you begin buying several individual items, you will see that this works out to be much more expensive than if you just went ahead and purchased one of the four week packages.  And the reason for this is if you buy the food in bulk, you will pay less for it.  I suppose using the term “in bulk” is a little misleading because it’s not as if you are going to have excess food.  Five meals per day over the course of a week is 35 meals.  They add up quite quickly.

Cut Out The Middle Man:  Actually, this step is mostly done for you.  For the most part, medifast sells their food on their Medifast Official Site.  And this is how most people buy it since most of us do not have centers that are driving distance from us.  People will often ask me about buying meals on ebay or craigslist.  This is only my opinion, but I just don’t feel comfortable with this.  You really don’t know much about the food or the other person.  So I tend to steer clear of this.  By selling the food themselves, the company isn’t having to split their profits with any other retailer.  It’s just common sense and it is frankly the only way to be sure that you are getting genuine, fresh food straight from the source.  I’m not sure why any one would want to go elsewhere than the manufacturer to get the product when you don’t have to.

Use Coupons:  The company is very generous with the coupons that they offer.  It is rare that there is not some special or incentive going on.  In fact, most of the time, you can either get a monetary discount worth over $50 off an order or some weeks of free food.  Without a doubt, the free food is often worth more, but I do understand that many will opt for the money off especially when they are new to the diet.   The bottom line is that you should never pay for your order without entering in the current coupon code.  Here are examples of the specials with free food and the money off. Get 56 Free Meals, Free Shipping and 5% off! MAY31J – Save $66 when you spend $250 and sign up for the Advantage program!

Hopefully, this article has shown you that by buying in bulk, cutting out the middle man and using coupons, you can save a lot of money on medifast food, just as you would for any other type of food for purchase.

By: Lindsey Price: I often say that I believe that medifast is a diet for people who love sweets or carbs.  And, sometimes, I have people challenge me on that because technically, medifast is a high protein diet that is relatively low in carbs.  And this ratio is necessary to help you to lose weight.  But, if you’re willing to look a little closer, I think you might agree with me with medifast offers of a good deal of sweet flavored foods. I’ll outline some of them below.

The Shakes:  Yes, the shakes are low in sugar.  But, they don’t taste like a food that fits into this category.  They are actually pretty rich and although I don’t find them overly sweet, I find them sweet enough.  I do think that some flavors are better than others.  In general, I like the creme flavored shakes the least.  But I am particularly fond of the Swiss Mocha 70 Shake and the Banana Creme 70 Shake.  Before medifast sold its own syrup, I used to flavor them up on my own using sugar free syrups meant for diabetics and this worked just fine.

The Bars:  To me, these are very dessert like, particularly the maintenance bars.  The good news about the maintenance bars is that they are incredibly decadent.  The bad news is that you’re only allowed to have one of them each day (unless you are on the maintenance or transition plan.) The Caramel Nut Maintenance Bar is particularly good. The crunch bars have plenty of good options too, though and they are unlimited.  You can have as many as you want as long as you don’t go over five meals per day.  My personal favorite is the Peanut Butter Crunch Bar.

Soft Serve:  People often aren’t sure what this item is.  It is ice cream with a softer texture.  And it is definitely a dessert food.  This item definitely tastes sweet to me.  Much to my surprise though, my favorite flavor is the Coffee Soft Serve.

Brownies:  Here’s another item that is meant to be a dessert but many people use it as a snack. This can be served warm (which is the way I prefer it.)  But if it cools down, you can just wrap it up and eat it cooled down later.  It’s pretty good this way too. They also have a chocolate chip bake that has the same texture but tastes a lot like a cookie.

The Pudding: Here’s another item that can be eaten as either a snack or a dessert.  I find all of the flavors to be good.  The texture is also right.  Like the shakes, I enjoy the Banana Pudding the most.

The Apple Cinnamon Soy Crisps: I’ll admit that not all of the chips taste like desserts.  In fact, I think that they mostly make nice snacks.  But the cinnamon option is definitely sweet enough for dessert.

The Oatmeal:  I will admit that there are times when I am perfectly happy with a bowl of hot cereal for dinner, especially if it’s been a long day.  Many of the oatmeal offerings are quite good for sugar cravings. Flavors that I find particularly effective are the blueberry the Maple & Brown Sugar Oatmeal and the peach.

The Chocolate Chip Pancakes:  Again, this is a breakfast item that will work for a nice dessert in a pinch.  The chocolate chips are more liberal than you might expect and texture of this item isn’t at all dry.

So overall, I believe that if you have a sugar craving on medifast, you will easily find something to suit your needs. Yes, many of the foods shave off sugar by using sugar alcohols but your body (and your taste beds) probably won’t know the difference.  And it’s very difficult to find sweet flavored foods that easily fit into your weight loss plan.  I’ve gotten so used to these items that at this point, I prefer these foods to traditional desserts which actually taste odd to me and just overly sweet.

By: Lindsey Price:  I sometimes hear from folks who want to know how often you should measure yourself on the medifast diet.  I sometimes find that these folks are under the mistaken impression that you have to go in for counseling and a “weigh in” where you are weighed and measured.  Even folks who aren’t under this impression seem to think that there is somewhere that you must record your results.

Whatever Record Keeping Or Accountability You Choose Is Completely Up To You: Frankly, there is no measurement or weigh in requirement on medifast.  Some people really like the motivation that regularly taking your measurements brings about.  They believe that this provides additional motivation and allows them to literally see the results from their hard work.  I have always had the opposite mind set.  Taking measurements and weighing can make me feel a little pressured.  The thing is, I can tell how I am progressing by the way that my clothes fit me and the way that I notice my body looks when I am taking a shower.  And, when I notice that my new and smaller clothes are fitting a little tighter, then I will take a look at my compliance and my lean and green meals to see if I need to make some adjustments.

Why I Focus On Averages:  I also know that sometimes you have great results where you have slacked off and sometimes you are disappointed in your results when you have been in perfect compliance.  And that’s why I try not to panic or celebrate too much either way.  My strategy has always been to worry about my average results rather than to hang on to each and every week.  To that end, I will often weigh or measure myself at the end of a month because this allows me to see the averages and it avoids my feeling unnecessary pressure and frustration.  And, the results from one month to the next can be extremely dramatic and very encouraging.  I’m always happy with my monthly results and this makes it easier to keep going.

So to answer the question posed, you can measure yourself whenever you want.  The company doesn’t require for you to record your measurements.  If you find this process helpful and motivating, then you should feel free to do it as much as you would like.  But if you feel pressured or hesitant, then you don’t have to do this practice at all if it makes you feel uncomfortable.  I find that most people (myself included) know how they are doing in terms of weight or inches lost just by careful observation.  I can usually take a guess as to how much weight I’ve lost just by how my clothes fit and by my appearance.  (And my monthly weigh ins tell me that I’m usually pretty accurate.)  But if you aren’t able to gage your weight loss in this way, then find whatever method works best for you.  The key is to keep yourself on track but to not feel at all discouraged.  This is an individual process for most people.  There is no right or wrong answer.  There is just what is most effective for you.

By: Lindsey Price:  I sometimes hear from people who only have a little bit of weight to lose and they are interested in medifast.  I heard from someone who said: “I really only need to lose around 10 – 12 pounds, so I’m wondering if I could lose all of the weight within only two weeks. Is this possible?”  I’ll tell you my response below.

The Ranges:  There are ranges that you will typically see tied in with weekly medifast weight loss.  Based on the company’s own literature and clinical studies, the ranges that you will often see are 2 -5 pounds per week.  The problem with these type of ranges is that it can be difficult to know if you are going to be on the low or high end of the range.  And in my experience, your experiences can vary by the week.  I’ve been on both the very high and very low ranges.  Some weeks, I can tell you exactly why I’m seeing what I am on the scale.  Sometimes it’s pretty obvious that I haven’t moved my body much and I haven’t been exactly complying with the diet. So on those weeks, I might expect to see a little less weight loss.  But I will fully admit that I’ve had some great weeks when I haven’t really worked out or complied that much either.  In short, there are weeks when I’ve great results when I probably didn’t deserve it and there have been weeks where I expected good results only to fall a little short.  So, I find that sometimes, there doesn’t appear to be a definitive reason for your results.  To deal with this, I just tell myself that any loss is a blessing and I tend to look at my averages rather than placing so much stock in each individual week.

Still, I often think that if you don’t yet know how you might respond to the diet (or which end of the range you will most likely be in,) you can average this range for a total of 3 pounds per week to use as a rough guideline only.  Now, keep in mind this is an average.  You could certainly do better or worse than this.  But without knowing for sure, this average at least gives us a concrete number to work with.  So, considering 3 pounds a week, she could have possibly have been looking at six pounds over the course of that two weeks.  This wasn’t set in stone, of course.  The lower end would be 4 pounds and the higher end would be 10 pounds.

And as I’ve alluded to, any one can be on the top or the bottom end of the range or even outside of the range.  I know people who are consistently on the high end and I know some who kind of remain stable from week to week.  So it is really hard to say where you will fall.  But if you plan to at least move a little more on a regular basis, remain in compliance, and be vigilant about your lean and green meals, there’s no reason to believe that you won’t fall somewhere that will make you happy.

Now, how she ordered her food was really going to be up to her.  She could assume a higher weekly weight loss and go with the 2-Week Package for Women, but this wouldn’t leave her any left over food for maintenance.  The cheaper and more efficient way to do this might be to order a 4-Week Package for Women using coupons, using the foods until she lost her goal weight, and then using whatever was left over to help her to transition slowly off of the diet to ensure that she was able to easily keep it off.

By: Lindsey Price:  I sometimes hear from people who are extremely excited about their day one results while on the medifast diet.  Many really want to believe that they have already lost some weight on that very first day.  I heard from someone who said: “I started medifast this morning.  I took the meals to my job and had my lean and green meal for dinner. Tonight when I got my shower, I noticed that my stomach was more flat and that my pants were actually quite loose.  These pants are normally snug.  I feel like I might have already lost some weight, but I’m too scared to weigh myself. Is this at all possible?”  I’ll try to answer these questions in the following article.

Let’s Look At The Math:  I never want to discourage anyone when they are this excited.  My attitude about this is that if you feel as if you are slimming down already and you feel good, then really, that’s all that matters.  But, in order to lose one pound, you need a calorie deficit of around 3500 calories.  Now, you can do this through dieting, exercising, or any combination of the two.  And, you do take in far few calories than normal on medifast, or around 1.000 – 1,200 or so, depending upon what you chose for your lean and green meal.  So, subtracting this from your normal amount of calories on a typical day could tell you what type of calorie deficit you’re dealing with. And you can certainly lose a little less than a pound and still notice and still celebrate the difference.

Why Would I Feel Lighter Or Have Looser Clothes On The First Day On Medifast?:  I will tell you a theory of mine.  I have no scientific evidence to back it up.  But it’s so common for me to hear people suspect success on the first day that I feel like perhaps there is more at play than taking in fewer calories.  I think that it might have something to do with digestion.  Medifast meals are soy based and I believe that many people notice bloating issues that go away once they remove the offender from their diets.  Additionally, moving away from eating larger meals and then eating five smaller meals helps with this also.  So while I think that you can see some results from taking in fewer calories, I believe that some people get relief from the bloating associated with eating large meals of foods that don’t agree with them.  And once they change things up, they notice a difference.  And this difference can happen very quickly, even on that first day.

With all of this said, I don’t think it’s impossible to see results on day one.  I just know that mathematically, it’s cutting it close.  At the end of the day, I don’t think it matters all that much why you’re seeing the difference that you are.  I think it’s important just to be grateful that you are seeing it and to use this enthusiasm to propel you forward.  Keep right on doing whatever you are doing and await even more results.

By: Lindsey Price:  I sometimes hear from people who aren’t sure about ordering a full month’s worth of medifast.  They can wonder if this is going to be necessary or if it will just be wasteful. I heard from someone who said: “I want to lose about 25 pounds.  I want to try medifast.  But I’m wondering if it’s going to be worth it to me to order a whole month’s worth or if I can get by with just a two week package or maybe just ordering some individual foods or meals.”  I’ll address these concerns in the following article.

Look At Your Time Line To Determine How Much Food To Order: Although every one has individual results and this is somewhat dependent upon compliance and other factors, you can look at averages and ranges to try to come up with a reasonable time line.  The ranges typically given are around 2 – 5 pounds per week.  So, even if the person who wrote to me was on the highest end of the range, she would likely still be at the 20 pound weight loss range by the end of the 4 weeks, leaving her 5 more pounds to lose.  It was probably a pretty safe bet that she was looking at more than 2 weeks to meet her weight loss goals.  So for her, a monthly package was going to be a good choice.  Now that I’ve covered a time line, we can look at the monetary aspects of her question.

How Does A Monthly Package Compare With Ordering A La Carte Meals Or Going With A Two Week Package?:  As of this writing, the 2 week package is around $161 dollars for 70 meals.  This is around $2.30 per meal.  Now, let’s look at ordering your foods a la carte.  To keep things simple, we’ll look at ordering 70 meals so that we can compare the 2 week plan with ordering individual items.  Most of the foods come in boxes of 7 for $16.50.  So, order 70 meals would consist of 10 boxes of food and it would cost $160.50.  That is almost exactly the same amount of money as ordering the 2 week package.

Now, let’s look at one of the monthly packages.  The basic 4-Week Package for Women includes 143 meals.  As of right now, the cost for this package is about $315.   This is around $2.20 per meal which already makes it a better deal.  But, this is before you add in coupons.  And most of the time, coupons are only offered for the monthly packages.  They are not usually offered for two week packages or for the individual foods.  Most of the time, you can save between $55 and $66 off of your order if you’re ordering by the month. (Here’s an example of what’s running this month: APR31J – Save $66 when you spend $250 and sign up for the Advantage program! )  In this example, using the coupons would get you down to around $1.70 per meal which is a good deal cheaper.

So to answer the question posed, my opinion is that unless you have a very small amount of weight to lose, it is worth it to order a months worth of food from medifast. The reason for this is that you will often need that much food to get the results that you want. Plus, this almost always ends up being a much better or cheaper deal anyway.

By: Lindsey Price: I often hear from folks who want more information about the medifast counseling.  Specifically, they are sometimes concerned about the cost involved.   They often know that having a lot of support and accountability helps to contribute to weight loss success so they really want that vital support, but they don’t want to have to pay a lot for it.

I can tell you about the counseling available on the company’s web site.  I haven’t used one of the centers so understand that the information provided is going to be applicable if you are ordering your food from the Medifast Official Site instead of going to one of the centers.

If you’re going to be ordering your foods online and are also comfortable getting your support online, then there is no additional cost for medifast counseling.  In other words, yes, it is free. It is included with your free medifast membership and it’s under an option called “my medifast.”  And I have to say, this resource is multi faceted.  To sign up for “my medifast,” look for the “support tools”  section on the top right of the Medifast Official Site.

Once you click on support tools, you’ll notice that there are many resources right there.  You only need to sort through which are most applicable to you and start educating yourself. There are program guides and FAQ.  There is even a live chat option where you can get any of questions answered or your concerns addressed.  And if you look on the right side of the page, you will see an icon allowing you to sign up for “my medifast.”  This is where you can track your progress, ask questions on forums, read blogs, join the community, look at sample menus.  There’s also a place to show your progress to others and track your meals and exercise.

Many of your questions can be answered by reading the information provided.  If not, there’s always someone to ask in the medifast community.  Or, if you are not much of a group joiner and like to keep your concerns private at first, you can always go with the live chat option.  Plus, if you’d like to talk to a live voice, there is an option to receive a phone call.  You can find this option on the very top of the website where it says “click to call.”

I know that reaching out can seem daunting at first.  But the company really done a good job of making sure that you are comfortable.  If you don’t like to interact personally, you can just read the information available.  If you want to interact but would prefer to do it online, then there is the communities, the forums, and the live chat.  And if you really want that one on one connection with a live person, you can opt for a telephone call.  But if accountability is your concern, know there is plenty within the tracking of “my medifast”  You can opt to make this for your eyes only or you may want to put yourself out there and get the support of others.

Know that people are very supportive in the communities.  Every one is in the same boat.  And people are genuinely happy when you succeed and they want to help if you’re unsure.  Many of the veteran posters were once beginners like you are now.  And they have chosen to pay it forward because someone helped them when they were first starting out. So to answer the question posed, if you are dealing with the company’s website, then yes the counseling would be free.  If you’d like some coupons to use while there, feel free to check out my free medifast ebook.

By: Lindsey Price: I get a lot of questions about the medifast lean and green meal.  Many people understand that they need to prepare one healthful meal for themselves each day.  But they aren’t sure when they have to consume this meal or what time is most appropriate.

I heard from someone who said: “Do you always have to have the lean and green meal at dinner? Or is there some flexibility?  I will probably eat it for dinner sometimes, but I’d like to have it for breakfast or lunch occasionally. Is this possible?”

It’s my opinion that this is completely possible or permissible.  I don’t always have my main meal at dinner time.  And I know someone who always takes her lean and green for breakfast because she believes that this gives her more time to burn off the calories that the larger meal contains. However, she’s single and doesn’t have children.  I like to be able to sit down and eat a larger meal with my family. So every one is different and that’s why it’s helpful that this plan is so flexible.

Plus, if you think about one of the objectives of the lean and green meal, it is to make sure that you eat fresh and healthful food and you learn how to plan for and prepare your own meals.  This is partly so that when you lose the weight, you can transition back to regular life.  And part of that regular life is going to require flexibility.  There will be days that you might want to eat a larger breakfast or lunch.  And that’s why learning how to be flexible with your lean and green meal (and it’s time frame) is a good skill to learn.

The woman who wrote me might want to eat out with clients and have one of the prepackaged meals for dinner. Or she may want to have a home made and leisurely breakfast on a weekend.  I believe that all of this is fine as long as you are keeping the lean and green requirements in mind (which are 5 – 7 ounces of lean protein or meat and three servings of vegetables.)  There are a number of ways to accomplish this, but nothing says that you need to accomplish this at any set time of the day.  An omelet is a great way to meet these requirements at breakfast and a soup, salad or stir fry is a wonderful way to do this at lunch or at dinner.  You can do this at restaurants as long as you are careful when you place your order.

Some people mistakenly think that you have to commit to one meal and stick to that.  In other words, they believe that if you chose to have this main meal at breakfast, then you must always commit to breakfast.  This isn’t the case.  You can have a larger breakfast on Monday, a lean and green dinner on Tuesday and then switch back to a lean and green lunch on Wednesday.  You can adjust as your schedule changes or if you want to socialize. But the idea is to have one larger prepared meal yourself and 5 prepackaged meal each day, regardless of the timing. This diet is really meant to be flexible and to teach you to make your own choices. It’s my opinion that you don’t need to tie yourself down or make this harder than it needs to be.

By no means am I an expert but if you have some additional questions about this diet, you can check out my free ebook “Getting The Most Out Of Medifast.”  (You can get a free copy of that ebook here.)

By: Lindsey Price: I often hear from people who are trying to do medifast on a budget.  To that end, many want to do a regimen that is sort of piecemeal, meaning that they want to just order some very inexpensive individual foods.  I heard from someone who said: “which meals are the cheapest that you can order on medifast?  Because I’m on a tight budget and I want to be able to do this as cheaply as possible.”  I will share my reply in the following article.

The Individual Items On Medifast Are Priced Similarly:  Medifast does offer items for individual sale.  However, most come in a box of 7 meals for convenience.  People sometimes assume that some of the more common or popular items (like the shakes or bars) are a little cheaper than some of the other items.  This isn’t really the case. In fact, most of the items are priced in the same way.  I’ll give you some concrete examples to demonstrate my point.  A box of 7 medifast shakes (like the Swiss Mocha 55 Shake box is around $16.  And, the same is true for a box of 7 bars (like the Peanut Butter Crunch Bar box.)  In fact, the same is true whether you are talking about a box of brownies, soups, eggs, oatmeal, fruit drinks, hot drinks or any of the food items that they sell by the box.  In other words, no matter what you are ordering, at least as of this writing, you’re going to be paying around  $16 for about 7 units or about $2.28 per meal.  The ready to drink shakes are the exception because they come in cases of  24 for about 64 dollars, making them about $2.60 per item, but I suppose you are paying for convenience since these are ready to drink and you don’t have to mix these up. (An example of these is the Dutch Chocolate Ready-to-Drink Shake.)

What Makes Medifast Meals The Cheapest That They Can Possibly Be:  I didn’t know how much weight this person had to lose. But if it were more than 20 pounds (where she’d need to be on the diet for more than a couple of weeks) then it would make a lot of sense to order a package.  Here’s why.  The 4-Week Package for Women runs about $300, but you get 143 meals. Now, this makes the cost per meal is about $2.09.  But that is before you use coupons, which you can do when you order a package.  Generally, depending on what is running at the time, you can find and links that will save you over $50 per package. (Here’s an example which would save $66 on a package. Medifast – Save $66 when you spend $250 or more and sign up for the Advantage program! Use Coupon Code: MAR31J good until 3-31-12) So once you take this into account, this brings the cost per meal down to about $1.75 each and this would be the cheapest option for any of the meals.

So to answer the question posed, the cheapest medifast meals are very often those that are purchased as part of a package.  The individual meals all costs the same (which is around $16 for 7,) unless you’re ordering the ready to drink shakes, which are slightly more expensive.
