You can easily do the Medifast plan and still enjoy eating out at a nice restaurant for the occasional meal.

Medifast and Exercise – How Much Exercise Should You Do with the Medifast Diet?

September 29th, 2010 by Inspector | Comments Off | Filed in Medifast

Whatever diet plan you’re using to drop excess weight, exercise is always an important part of it all, and it’s no different with Medifast and exercise.

Any time you incorporate a regular exercise program with your Medifast program, you significantly increase your chances of reaching your weight loss goals in a reasonable time.

However, if you’re a rather sedentary person at the moment, they recommend that you wait at least three weeks after you begin the Medifast 5 and 1 Plan before you start a regular exercise regimen. If you’re already exercising, it’s recommended that you cut back on your current regimen by half during the first three weeks on the 5 and 1 Plan. Then you can build it back to where you were gradually.

Can I use frozen dinners for my Medifast lean & green meal?

September 1st, 2010 by Inspector | Comments Off | Filed in Medifast

Not a big fan of cooking? You might wonder if you can use frozen dinners for your Medifast lean & green meal. I wish I could say the answer is yes, but in the long run, that solution isn’t really ideal. Let me explain why and then offer a few alternative suggestions.

The main reason that frozen dinners aren’t really appropriate for use as a lean and green meal is because of the way most frozen dinners are processed, they have too much sodium. Often, they don’t have enough protein either. But sodium aside, I thin even if you were to look long and hard at every frozen meal at your grocery store, you would have a hard time finding something suitable to match the ingredients of your lean and green.

Why Can’t I Lose Weight?

July 29th, 2010 by Inspector | Comments Off | Filed in Diet Tips & Reviews

There are so many different things that can factor into not being able to lose weight and each one of them should be taken into consideration. Your eating habits all the way to health issues can contribute to weight issues.

Portion size is a huge factor. Have you ever paid attention to what an actual serving size is? When we sit down to eat a wonderful home cooked meal, instead of serving ourselves only a single serving size of each item, we tend to load our plates up. When you go out to eat at restaurants, unless they are very elaborate, they serve much more than a reasonable serving size of each item. Pay attention to that serving size. The portion size could be a huge factor in not losing weight even if you are eating all the right foods.

In fact, because so many of us have a hard time really determining the right portion size, this is part of what makes diet delivery programs such as Medifast, Nutrisystem and Diet to Go popular. Check out my Diettogo review if you have ever considered just ordering your diet meals as it makes choosing the right portion size effortless.
