Medifast recommends no more than three specialty shakes a day. For example, the therapeutic dose of glucosamine and chondroitin is 1500 mg and each of the Medifast Plus for Joint Health shakes contain 500 mg., thus three shakes a day provides the therapeutic recommendation.
If a person uses more than three appetite suppression shakes a day, their body can become dependent upon the additional fiber to feel satisfied.
The appetite suppression shakes are especially helpful to help get us through times when we feel extra hungry. Most of us find that establishing a consistent eating schedule will eliminate hunger or keep it under control; yet there are times when we may be under more pressure or have greater activity or we just have the desire to eat.
If it happens, we can reach into our arsenal of meal replacements and pull out the appetite suppression shake; it adds just enough bulk to keep us from caving in and we are able to stick to our program.
Limit specialty shakes to three per day.
