Links To Individual Medifast product reviews are listed at the bottom of this article.

This page contains links to other pages where I have reviewed individual Medifast meals that I have eaten and then reviewed.  Below is a work in progress as I try each and every Medifast food that is offered in the plan.  If you do not see a Medifast Meal reviewed below, please ask via email and I will bump it up on the list to be reviewed.  This entire page is nothing more than links, that are listed in alphabetical order, to the different Medifast foods that are available to the general public.

What I want you to understand is that if you are NEW to Medifast and have not tried the food yet, you really should read the article I have devoted to understanding how Medifast food will taste. (Click here for article: What Are The Best Tasting Medifast Meals)  Before you scan the list below please be aware that I really did not enjoy Medifast food at all when I ate my very first meal, which was scrambled eggs. If you are trying Medifast for the first time it is CRITICAL that you give the meals a three day period of time before you make a judgement on the taste.  The article above explains that in detail, which is why it should be read.

As you look through the list below, please be aware that I have lost 112 pounds, using Medifast as the tool for weight loss.   I am NOT a Medifast employee and Medifast did not pay me to start, nor ask us to start this site.  I want you to know that I love the program, because it worked for my wife (Sue) and I.  At the time of this being written she is still losing weight, as females tend to lose weight slower.  She has lost almost 80 pounds and is going strong and I can tell you that we have been married over 12 years and I have NEVER seen her this thin and attractive.  It is as if she has transformed herself into a new woman filled with energy, confidence and a personality that I have never seen before.  Medifast has helped her become the woman she has always had the potential to become and I am thrilled to see that happen.

For this Medifast food review I just want you to know that I offer it merely as our point of view and perception of the taste the Medifast foods.  Despite what I write, you may have vastly different opinions and different favorites.  Before I close of this brief introduction please let me once again make you aware of the need to use Medifast foods for three to five days before you formulate an opinion.  I feel as if this time period is critical to your weight loss success.

We have succeeded in weight loss and so can you.  It is our goal to help make America healthy one person at a time.  You can take control of your life and shape your life into whatever you desire.  Losing weight should not be a long-term goal, it should be a short-term goal, and with Medifast that is very easy to accomplish.  Sue and I wish you nothing but the best and if you find yourself here I hope you can feel the energy of trust we are trying to vibrate out through these words.  Medifast is the real deal for those that want to take control of their life, by starting with their weight.

Enjoy the Medifast food reviews below and good luck!  If you want to.. email me, I would love to hear from you concerning your weight loss journey and Medifast.  I WILL answer all emails and this site is NOT some corporate mega monster.  This site is really just Sue and I and it is our goal to help you lose weight using Medifast and this site is dedicated to helping people understand Medifast.  Enjoy the Medifast food reviews.

For this review I have tried the Medifast Creamy Soup selection of Cream of Broccoli Soup.  This is the first review that I have written on a Medifast Meal that I must confess I did not like.  I have tried many of the Medifast Meals and even though I have not tried all of them… Medifast Broccoli Soup, for me, was pretty bad tasting.

I am a true believer in the Medifast Weightloss Program and I have been able to flavor up each and every meal easily. The Cream of Broccoli Soup was the first meal that I tried that despite what I added to it I never could get it to something I remotely enjoyed.

In all fairness I must admit that if you gave me a full flavored, full fat and sodium loaded cream of broccoli soup, I would love it.  I have always enjoyed cream of broccoli soup and yet I have not been able to make the same claim with the Medifast Cream of Broccoli Soup.  I am very glad that I only received one packet of the stuff in the variety pack and that was only because of the bonus pack that had three individual packets of various Medifast Meals.

For this review of Medifast Cream of Broccoli Soup I want you to realize that this is the first and only Medifast Meal that I did not enjoy.  If you are thinking of ordering Medifast do not let this single review discourage you because there are so many great tasting selections available.  Overall Medifast Meals have wonderful taste and texture, but I cannot say that for the Medifast Cream of Broccoli Soup.

I must give this soup a double thumbs down and just end this brief review with the statement that depsite my desire to continue with the Medifast Plan, I will never ever let Medifast Cream of Broccoli Soup pass through my lips again.

For my review of the Medifast Scrambled Eggs Meal I must say that it was one meal that I ate on the very first day that I was starting Medifast.  When I first tasted them I thought I was going to throw up, as I had to force them down and all the while I had to hold back a gag reflex.  On that first day I thought that I had made a huge mistake by purchasing Medifast because I really did not like the Medifast Scrambled Eggs Meal.

I remember going through the entire day thinking that the reason why so many people were losing weight on Medifast was because they couldn’t eat the food.  Since that first day I must admit that I have learned much about Medifast and the result of that is that I learned what I could have as a Medifast condiment.  Taking that learning curve one step further I must tell you that this morning I was off from work and I really looked forward eating some Medifast scrambled eggs.  What I did differently this time was that I added some Mrs. Dash and some healthier ketchup along with some black pepper.  It did not take much of those seasonings to change the taste of the eggs from downright nasty to great tasting.

Having been a Medifast user for ovwer one year now, I was quite happy to learn that Medifast has introduced a new addition to their menu.  Although I am done losing weight with the 5 and 1 Medifast Meal Program, I still enjoy Medifast food on an almost daily basis.  I always carry three meals with me to work because not only have I found them to be enjoyable, I find them to be cheaper than eating out.  When I checked the news today I was happy to learn that Medifast has introduced not only one, but two new meal replacements.  I was very glad to discover that the new Medifast products were part of the Medifast To Go! product line.  I was quite happy to learn that the additions to the Medifast menu were designed to be portable and convenient, and will not melt when left in a warmer area. (Like my car)  The new Medifast Meals To Go! that Medifast introduced today were Cheese Pizza Bites and BBQ Bites.

As always, the new meals that were introduced are fully interchangeable with all of the other meals that are offered from Medifast.  New Cheese Pizza and BBQ Bites are naturally flavored and add to the convenience of Medifast’s current on-the-go meal replacement options, including Medifast Crunch Bars and Medifast Ready-to-Drink Shakes. The Medifast to go! line is designed to make weight loss more portable and convenient without sacrificing quality or taste.  I was thrilled to learn that I will have more choices to select from that I can incorporate into my daily menu of healthy eating.

Do not think that I am some Medifast fanatic out here…because I am not.  I am just some 50 year old man that has a wife and we both struggled with our weight for years.  (Our personal story) We yo-yo’d back and forth and with Medifast we lost all of the weight we had ever dreamed of losing.  I now work in retail and I use the Medifast Meals to help keep the weight off all the while saving money (and my health) by not eating out at fast food places during the work week.  For Sue and I, Medifast is simply what has worked, and because of Medifast we have been able to stay thin.  I now eat other foods, but I “lean” on Medifast during the work week because I like the price and convenience of the meals.

I am glad that Medifast has added Cheese Pizza Bites and BBQ Bites simply because it will be something new to try and enjoy.  I will admit I have not tried them yet, but since there is only one Medifast food that I do not like, I foresee very little problems with not liking the flavor.  I will not lie and tell you I ordered some right away, because I will simply wait until my next order is placed in a couple of weeks.  When I try the new Medifast Cheese Pizza Bites and the New Medifast BBQ Bites, I will be sure to write up a short review and let you know how I liked them.

I have yet to eat a Medifast Crunch Bar that I have not liked and the Chocolate Mint Crunch Bar is not an exception to that statement in any way, shape or form.  I was surprised by how many Medifast Crunch Bars I received in my initial variety pack order and now that I have eaten a few of the assorted flavors I can see why they ship as many as they do.  I think the reason they ship so many is because they know how good they taste and they are just giving their customers what they are asking to receive.  It is evident in this review of Medifast Chocolate Mint Crunch Bars that the flavor of this selection is not only good, it is wonderful.

I have become accustomed to eating my crunch bar for breakfast on the days I am working.  I do this because the first meal is always at 7 AM, which is the time that I clock into work.  I eat the crunch bar because it is easy, convenient and I can do it right at my desk and there is no preparation in getting it ready to eat.  At 7 AM I sit at my desk, grab my coffee and then nibble away at the daily selection and feel wonderful that I am getting such a tasty treat while being able to eat without deviating from the Medifast Meal Plan.

What I have to say in this review is that the mint is not over-powering and the chocolate is not overly chocolate tasting.  The texture of the bar is very palatable and the hint of mint combined with chocolate always brings a smile to my face.  Since I stage all of my Medifast Meals in Ziploc bags I do not know what flavor the crunch bar will be until I am at my desk ready to enjoy my breakfast.  When I peek in my little bag and extract a Chocolate Mint Crunch Bar I silently saw “oh good!” because I really enjoy the flavor.

My only complaint is that the bar should be about four or five times larger, but then I guess that would sort of defeat the purpose of Medifast… so I guess I will survive just fine on the size provided.   Overall I must say that I really enjoy the Chocolate Mint Crunch Bar and it is one meal that I will order again and again, month after month, because they really do taste great.  For the purpose of this review I just want to say that this meal is a double thumbs up.  If you enjoy chocolate and just a hint of mint flavor, then you too will like this bar.  I was never a big mint fan and yet I still enjoy the way this bar tastes.  The mint is in no way over-powering and yet, when combined with the chocolate taste, they both just sort of quietly meet to bring out one exceptional flavor that  I just love to eat.

As you may have noticed in the photo above that I ate the bar before I took the picture, because I love them that much.  I was getting set up and decided that I did not want to wait to eat it, so I just ate it and the picture above is all that is left!
