Medifast?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Medifast is a lifestyle diet  program that can help you lose two-five pounds a week without counting  calories, carbs, or points. It was developed by a physician over twenty-five  years ago and has been helping people love their bodies again ever since.  It\u2019s an easy way to integrate healthy eating into your life without  totally interrupting your busy schedule. The Transition, Maintenance,  and Exercise plans pick-up where the original diet ends for long-term  results. <\/p>\n<p>The basis of the Medifast program  is the 5&amp;1 Plan. You eat six meals a day, so you are eating every  three hours. Eating that often keeps you from getting hungry and provides  you with consistent energy levels. It\u2019s much easier to be motivated  to exercise and stick to the plan when you are full and energized! You  eat five regular meals each day plus one Lean &amp; Green meal. The  Lean &amp; Green meal balances lean protein, such as chicken, beef,  or fish, with salad and vegetables. The other five meals are portion-controlled  versions of favorite foods like soups, scrambled eggs, puddings, and  even shakes. The program offers over sixty different meal options, so  there is plenty of variety. <\/p>\n<p>The meals are nutritionally complete, low calorie, and  low fat. They contain a medically designed balance of protein and carbohydrates  plus essential vitamins and minerals. Most of the meals contain soy  protein, which may help reduce the risk of heart disease and osteoporosis,  but whey protein meals are available if you are allergic to soy.   The meals meet all of your daily nutritional requirements while still  helping you lose weight and feel great!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diets\/Medifast_\/\" title=\"Medifast\">Learn more about Medifast<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Medifast is a lifestyle diet program that can help you lose two-five pounds a week without counting calories, carbs, or points.
