I wasn't sure where to post this, so I'll put it here.

Many of my friends and family want to know how I lost weight. When I tell them "Medifast", they all think it is some kind of a fast I've been on. In fact, it wasn't until I was on the program for weeks that I figured out the name "Medifast" implied fast weight loss, not starvation fast.

I wonder how many people are put off by the name "Medifast" and never look into it. Maybe they should change the name to "Medislim" or something?

Pardon the rambling...... :lol:

When Medifast was started, it was really a fast with just 5 shakes per day and no L&G. I do think that the original name meant what it sounds like. I agree, though. It's definately not a fast now, so it does confuse people who don't know about it.

I never thought about it as fasting. To me fasting is a totally different situation and a spiritual one. I assumed the same that the fast was meaning quick.
