I’ve had several people ask me lately if I have to eat only Medifast for the rest of my life to keep my weight down. The answer is no, not unless you want to.

Medifast helps you to lose weight (quickly) by controlled diet. Once you reach your goal weight you will start transition. In transition you will continue to eat your Medifast Meals and gradually add calories back into your diet. Medifast has outlined in awesome detail how to do this. They give you meal plan ideas for the transition phase and maintenance. Read all the information Medifast has to offer

Yup, I have had a couple of times where I put pounds back on. But that was because I was not smart. You cannot go back to eating junk like homemade baked fettuccine alfredo and ice cream every night (even if your skinny boyfriend does). Bad eating habits are how I got to this. Those times that I gained I just jump on the program for a few weeks and off they go!

I have been back on the 5 &1 Plan for 5 days now. In 5 days I’ve lost 5 pounds! That’s not as good as my first 4 days on Medifast, when I lost 9 pounds, but I will take it.

This morning I had to laugh at myself. I had a root beer float for breakfast. OK, so it was a French Vanilla Medifast shake and diet root beer mixed together but reminded me of high school. When I was in high school I would have coffee ice cream for breakfast. I know all too well, bad habits are hard to break. Wish me luck on my next 10 pounds.
