Does Medifast Help You Take Off Those Last Stubborn Pounds

? Or Is It A Diet Only For People With A Lot Of Weight To Lose?

I recently heard from a woman who was trying to lose the last 10 pounds of her "baby weight." She had given birth about 18 months ago and although most of the baby weight had come off, she still had about 10 pounds that seemed to be particularly stubborn. She had lost much of the postpartum weight pretty easily and she wasn't doing anything drastic other than watching her calories and trying to make smart choices with her meals. She wanted to know if medifast was a good diet in which to lose those last stubborn 10 pounds (which didn't seem to be responding to anything else.) I'll take you my take on this in the following article.

Because Of Ketosis, My Opinion Is That Medifast Is A Good And Effective Diet For Those Last Few Stubborn Pounds (That You Just Can't Seem To Lose:) The person who wrote me said that those last 10 pounds seemed to be mostly in her belly which indicated (at least to me) that there might be some excess fat stores involved. This weight and fat may not have responded to her usual restricted calorie diet because her body was seeing at as stores for future use.

Here's the thing about medifast. It helps you to lose weight in two different ways. Sure, you take in less calories and this is always one of the keys to weight loss. But, since you are also taking in high amounts of protein and low amounts of carbs, ketosis also comes into play much of the time. This is where your body begins to burn fat instead of carbs because you have set it up so that there is no excess carbohydrates.

So, in this mother's case, I felt that ketosis might really help her to get over that hump and to burn that excess belly fat that was hanging around long past its welcome. Whether her body saw it as insurance for the future or not, it wouldn't have a choice since she was going to be limiting her carbs. Of course, there are other low carb diets out there, but in my experience, very few of them are as convenient or easy as medifast. There's no tallying or counting and most of your meals are provided for you. So you pretty much only need to eat what they've given you and this saves a lot of time and effort.

Plus, you have more snack and dessert type choices than you might other wise get on a high protein diet. Yes, medifast offers eggs (as most high protein diets do,) but there are also shakes, bars, puddings, soups, stews, chilis, brownies, oatmeals, chips, fruit drinks, and cappuccinos. Many of these sweeter types of foods aren't offered on your typical ketosis inducing diet.

That's not to say that medifast isn't also appropriate when you have a lot of weight to lose. Ketosis can be effective in both scenarios. But, I suspected that in this case, ketosis might be the thing that got this dieter over the hump since the fat burning combined with the calorie deficit would give her more to work with than her previous attempts.
