Nice pointing out the excessive calories, but why was he PUSHING those fake food

alternatives?  I'd propose staying within the same category of the survey to

find your healthier alternatives.

At Starbucks you can make the mocha less calories by cutting down on the

chocolate pumps (I only use 1 pump in a Grande), use nonfat milk (or I use half

soy/half nonfat) and no whip.  There *is* nutrition.

Nothing " healthy " at Five Guys (I dislike the strong peanut oil flavor anyway).

But let's find a healthier similar meal (i.e. find another burger meal so you

are matching the category).  How about a steak bowl at Chipotle?  Get beef &

rice & beans & tomatoes & lettuce, but you're still getting beef.

Alternative to the french fries from McDs?  Instead of a processed food bar

from

that company, let's suggest veggie sticks and/or a fruit bowl from a grocery

store.

Medifast is not fake food. It is PCMR made with soy or whey and if you want

the nutrition info, I shall send it to your private email. I eat Medifast

and love it:) Take Shape For Life is getting people off medications and away

from surgery! It is the fastest growing Health Program and Weight Program in

America at this time.

I always liked what an endocrinologist I worked with said " I don't care how

they lose weight as long as they do it once and keep it off. But they don't

and that is why going on too many fad diets over a lifetime is unhealthy " .

He was very RD and utilized our services all of the time. Like , I

really sit the fence with the bypass surgeries. I don't tend to watch The

Biggest Loser but I saw a promo that said they had a post-gastric bypass

surgery patient on. Once you have had the surgery you have altered your

" insides " .

I have friend who has so many problems post-bypass surgery that I have

become so skeptical. Her problems are NOT fixable. I don't have the

answers!!

I always liked what an endocrinologist I worked with said " I don't care how

they lose weight as long as they do it once and keep it off. But they don't

and that is why going on too many fad diets over a lifetime is unhealthy " .

He was very RD and utilized our services all of the time. Like , I

really sit the fence with the bypass surgeries. I don't tend to watch The

Biggest Loser but I saw a promo that said they had a post-gastric bypass

surgery patient on. Once you have had the surgery you have altered your

" insides " .

I have friend who has so many problems post-bypass surgery that I have

become so skeptical. Her problems are NOT fixable. I don't have the

answers!!

I have to respectfully disagree with your statement that " Medifast is not

fake food. "

I sure don't call the following " real " food. Surely there's a lot of

ingredients there my grandmother wouldn't recognize. Neither would my mother.

Since when is " artificial flavors " and " acesulfame potassium " and " cellulose

gel " not " fake food? " Clearsly, none of them grow in my garden or can be

found at my local farmer's market, and I won't find any of them in " the

perimeter of my grocery store " either.

I guess I've seen plenty of Medifast failures, that regained all their

weight - but, that happens in most wt. loss " diets " I acknowledge.

Why not eat real food and take a vitamin/mineral supplement just in pill

form? I'm sure that all the highly processed and artificial ingredients are

why I found the flavors so unacceptable.

I think most Americans would be surprised at how little soy is eaten on a daily

basis compared to what Americans are encouraged to think they should eat. it is

also mostly fermented soy products again verses what we in the US eat. Then

there is the GMO issue. So it is really no true comparison. We are pushing soy

to much. I refused to use a soy analog for my emergency supplies despite the

food police because unless you eat it regularly introducing it into a diet as

the sole protein source will cause gastric distress. We tend only to read the

right side what ever that is at the time and forget that there is a flip side. I

doubt that the amount of soy products eaten in Asia is significant to cause

feminization.

Jan, With the new Take Shape For Life Medifast, I have seen no failures and

these foods need no or little prep..... Most people eat on the run and have

no refrigeration available. I have a youth minister who uses the bars

instead of grabbing junk items at the airport. I have a patient that does

not drive or cook! I have a patient right now that is in bed due to a knee

injury and waiting for a MRI results! He is not able to get around. Medifast

is not for everyone but it helps most people in a variety of situations.

Their bars are better than any other bars on the market because they have

pro needed with our having to pack a egg or cheese. As a RD, I offer this a

a choice to my patients, BTW, all the RDs and Docs that are using in their

patient populations are amazed at the results their patients are having! An

ER doc told one of my patients that it saved his life. I do not have one

patient that uses all natural foods. Bottom line this program is saving

lives and getting people off medications including insulin. People are

getting healthy on this program! They are having more success than anything

on the market right now. Dr Andersen is the greatest and you should read his

book. I have over 40 doc and they said, " I can get behind this program and

this Dr A. " This is not just about the Medifast's fast foods which are just

a tool.
