Three Advantages To The Medifast Diet If you've found this article, I suspect that you are where I was more than a year ago. You're probably researching the Medifast diet, wanting to know it's pros and cons, it's advantages and disadvantages, and whether it would be a good fit for you. With the distance of time and the success that I have had on this diet, I'm probably a bit biased, but I've been on it long enough to tell you what I feel are the top advantages of it and why it works for many people, which I will do in the following article.The Biggest Medifast Advantage: Convenience: Let's face it. Diets are hard. No one really gets overly excited about tallying calories, making decisions about what you are going to eat, and then going out and shopping for and then preparing the "special" food yourself.

Is Medifast A Dangerous Diet? I've lost a very noticeable amount of weight on this diet and I'm often asked if such a rapid and dramatic weight loss is safe. Some of the comments I hear include: "are you getting enough calories?," "are you starving yourself," or "is Medifast at all dangerous?" I'll answer these questions in the following article and will also explain my response.Medifast Was Developed And Tested By Doctors: First off, this diet was developed by physicians. It has also been repeatedly studied. One commonly referred to study was conducted at the John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and indicated that dieters on Medifast had twice as dramatic results (and lost twice as much weight) and stayed on their diet for twice as long as the diet that it was being compared against (the American Diabetic Association diet.) So, there is a good bit of science behind this diet and it's not at all a fad diet where you have to eat odd foods or fast for several days or anything like that.You Get Enough To Eat, Consume A Wide Variety Of Foods, And Learn To Change Your Lifestyle: Many people think of the shakes when they think of Medifast.
