I have found that there is some confusion regarding how to measure your self while on the Medifast diet. You do not have to go for counseling or to a weigh-in where someone records your progress as some people mistakenly think. Even people who don’t believe this misinformation still think that results must be recorded somewhere.

I’ve been receiving a lot of emails these days that are concerned with Medifast and specifically about cheating while on the program. You never hear much about the practice because people do not talk about it readily, but you know that it must be going on and people involved in or considering the program are rightly concerned.

Naturally when you are finally realizing that you want to lose weight, you think about which program of weight loss is best. And on line weight loss programs may make you curious but also make you hesitant to try. I am well versed in this and certainly understand why you might hesitate about going on line to lose weight.

The Medifast program includes six meals each day. There are five normal, prepackaged meals that can be prepared in the microwave, and one “lean and green” meal that you make yourself. Many people on the Medifast program send me countless questions about how to fit these meals into one day — between preparation and actually eating, it seems like it would take a lot of time. People wonder if you are supposed to follow a meticulous schedule. Most diets assert that they do not work if you eat after about seven in the evening.
