Medifast Holds Up Against the Competition
Wednesday, April 21st, 2010As a diet plan, Medifast has withstood the test of time and continues to be a well-respected diet plan among physicians. Developed by a doctor nearly three decades ago, this low calorie plan is unique. While the idea of low carbohydrate diets is not a new one thanks to the research of Dr. Robert Atkins, Medifast is different because of the convenience factor. Consisting of meal replacements and pre-packaged meals, this plan is much easier to execute. Grab your meal and go — your busy lifestyle need not get in the way of following your diet. The plan is this — consume five Medifast meals throughout the day, and at the end of the day enjoy one “lean & green” meal consisting of about six ounces of protein such as lean meat or seafood, or meatless options, and three ample servings of low starch vegetables. Your body quickly enters into a state of ketosis where your blood sugar levels remain stable while you burn stored body fat.
