For shipping to the UK, I honestly don't know about that. Being in Canada, I have to be a little creative myself to get my Medifast shipments. Having great Health Advisors helps.
KellyC wrote:For a first order, try a variety of the meals.. it will surprise you what you like and don't like. Personally I don't like normal chicken noodle soup, but the medifast chicken noodle is by far my favorite medifast meal.
KellyC wrote:Your schedule looks ok, but a little bit long in the morning between your 1st and 2nd meals. Meals should be between 2-3 hours apart.
KellyC wrote:1. Yes. It is easiest if you know in advance where you are going so you can plan what you will have. If you walk in knowing what you want, you won't have to tempt yourself by looking all through a menu.
KellyC wrote:2. The shake are pretty easy to make anywhere. You can buy ready to drink shakes in choco and vanilla. I hardly use the powdered shakes anymore unless I'm home, but whilst out, they are easy to mix: take a 500ml bottle of water, drink half, pour in the powder, shake and drink. Easy and no measuring.. and nothing to wash up afterwards, just toss the bottle in the recycling.

3. I've bought and sold meals on ebay with no problems. There are often MF auctions. I've also had very very positive experiences with trading and buying from people off of this site. Everyone I have encountered has been very kind and very honest.

For Kosher, this was a worry for me too, though I only keep Kosher for Shabbos and on holidays.
You can find a full list of Kosher and Vegetarian on the medifast website, but I know the shakes, hot drinks, oatmeal, bars and puddings, also the creamy tomato soup are all Kosher dairy.
As Mike said, you're missing 1 meal in there.. you should be having 5 medifast meals + the 1 lean and green.
lifelovinaries wrote:Hi Vito. Just my opinion here...(and what works for me):
Most of the time i try to get my L&G in during working hours, that way, i don't have a heavy meal at night. However, in the past week or two i have been eating it at dinner time (around 6pm). It allows me to sit down to dinner and actually EAT with my son. I am finding that doing it at dinner time also makes it easier to give him healthier options. Unfortunately, i really would prefer to have it in the afternoon. That is normally when i seem to be hungrier. Then again, it could be because my body got used to eating a heavier meal at around 12:30! Who knows. On this forum, i'm sure you would get many different answers. It really is trial and error and doing what feels best for you.

Hi Mike, Apologies for the late reply, my mother is having a new kitchen installed and its driving me insane.
Many thanks for your PM, I will respond to it shortly.
With regards to shipment to the UK, I can always have the HA ship directly to my UK address having purchased the items on my behalf.
I like the idea of eating later at night at least for my L+G meal as I can sit down with family.
Would this work:-
Option 1
6.30am > shake
9.30am > bar
12.30pm > shake
15.30pm > bar
19.00pm > shake
22.00 pm > meat/green dinner
Option 2
6.30am > shake
9.30am > bar
12.30pm > shake
15.30pm > bar
19.00 pm > meat/green dinner
22.00pm > shake
Thanks
