The MakeMeThinner Support Forum

ok..so i have been researching on the net....and i found a bunch of diets that seem kind of similar to medifast...just wondering what other people thought about them...optifast, cambridge diet....something like new direction??...what is the difference between these diets and medifast???hmmm its kinda confusing because they seem like meal replacement diets as well....i would appreciate it if anyone could clear things up for me a bit...maybe some of the experienced memebers please ...

Well..I blew it. I went 41 days without cheating..without ANY variation from the medifast program. I managed, for 41 days, to cook meals for my husband and child without so much as nibbling on any part of them.

I did a complete fast for 39 of those days, ate 4oz of boneless, skinless chicken and 1.5c of steamed asparagus on the two remaning days.

Whoopeee..good for me. I lost 28lbs in 41 days...amazing results.

100oz ...

Good Morning!
Today is day 1 and I am very excited.

Yep. Time to be honest. AND I expect a heart-felt lecture from Mike after this. :wave:

Before I started Medifast I was convinced that I would never consume anything but shakes. I considered it "cheating". Even the bars or the 5-1 plan would be a form of screwing up. No pickles or bouillion, either. Please understand that I know that others do perfectly well on these versions ...

OK, so I have to confess that I haven't been doing the MF full out. I've been going out to eat a couple of times a week and having a few drinks on the weekends. :oops:

I've lost my momentum and don't quite have the motivation that I did starting off. I've been on this diet for 7 weeks and have lost 12 pounds, which is great ...

Good Morning everyone,

Just wanted to give myself a shout. Finally I am moving in the right direction. Not looking back. It has taken me a month to get it together. I am down to 216! Move me up to the 30 club Unca!

Thanks,
Susan F

Hopefully my first set of supplies will get here soon!

Anyone else doing the Medifast for Diabetics? And if so, is anyone doing the full fast? I read that Medifast doesn't recommend the full fast for Diabetics but I was also wondering why? Does anyone know?


Hope to here from you

Hey all,

That time of the month is coming and I'm concerned. Normally my cramps are so bad that I take 3 advil at a time every four hours. That kind of medicating takes a stomach full of food (usually) to keep me from being nauseous. Also, I've heard that no caffeine, less carbs and lots of fluids help with cramps. Has anyone found that their periods are better on MF - worse? same?

PMS ...
