Soaking Medifast Food
I have fielded many comments from people that are not happy with the flavor, texture or overall quality of Medifast soups or chili. Since I have come to love Mediast soups and chili (especially the chili) I was surprised to realize that EVERYONE did not know what I knew about how to best prepare Medifast soups and chili, by soaking them. What I have learned over the past months is that if you let your Medifast food soak for awhile, (those that have dehydrated ingredients) the flavor and overall eating experience increases ten-fold. Since I have been doing this for so long I do not even remember where I learned that it is best to soak your Medifast food for at least 3 hours, but preferably overnight.
The only thing you really need to remember is that you just add the required amount of water, that is applicable to your Medifast meal, and shake it up and store under refrigeration. Other than that there is nothing special to do. I have learned that it is best to let the food soak overnight, and I have let some of the meals up to 3 days! The only thing you need to know about the extended time of soaking your Medifast food is that after 3 days you may have to add a very small amount because the ingredients are doing what you want them to do….which is absorbing water.
By soaking your Medifast meals, that contain dehydrated ingredients, you will enjoy them so much more. You may even find yourself doing it everyday, as part of your easy to follow routine. Sometimes I soak a 3 day supply of meals all at once, which helps my week even more. I have taken the time to create a video about how simple it is to prepare, or soak your Medifast Meals to make them taste ssssoooooooo much better. Enjoy the video and if you want to chat….contact me, as I love all tings Medifast. I love to empower people to weight loss!!!! I love it when a person realizes that they too can lose weight…and reclaim their health!
Now go get those old stashed away Medifast meals out of the drawer…you know…the ones you thought that you did not like and soak them! You may be surprised by what you learn!

What I Need To Start Medifast
This video was thrown together to help you get some idea about what you should think about when getting ready to start Medifast. Of course I am NOT talking about the food because that is a no brain-er! What I am discussing in this hastily thrown together video is a fast past show and tell that shows you what you should be looking for when getting ready to start losing weight with Medifast.
In the video I did NOT mention the fact that you will need a kitchen scale, digital is preferred. I also have a weight chart for the greens, if you want one, drop me an email to my address at the end of this post.
Here is a link to show you what is needed: Kitchen Digital Scale
What is mentioned in the video are what I consider to be the basics, but I also understand that for someone new to Medfiast, all of this stuff is brand new and it is my intention to help show you what is needed for a person that is just getting ready to start Medifast. As mentioned in the video, there are always questions about what sauces, or condiments can be used when using Medifast. In the video I mentioned the following items, but the thing you need to be be aware of is the fact that the essential element in all I show is that the serving size of each item contains 5 or less grams of carbohydrates.
Below I have listed the items I mentioned in the video to provide you a link that will give you a visual reference of what is being discussed.
Personal Blender You can find a personal blender on the Medifast Official Site or in virtually any retail store that sells small appliances. What you need to be looking for is a blender that makes individual serving sizes. A full size blender is simply too messy and creates too much work. You should be looking for a blender that mixes the food in the same container that you drink it out of, which saves a great deal of dishes and cleanup.
To show you what I am speaking about I have linked to products below so you will have a visual reference. The condiments, and items I mention are as follows;
Walden Farms
Torani Syrups
Heinz Reduced Sugar Ketchup
Kraft Light Salad Dressings
Clamshell Steamer
I threw this video together on a whim, so if there is anything I can help you understand better, just drop me an email, or call me. I do not mind either way. I love everything Medifast and simply want to help you be the weight loss success you have been dreaming about. With Medifast, it really is not that difficult. If you have any questions…let me help make it even easier!!!!

What To Expect When Ordering Medifast Diet Meals
I created this short Medifast video to help you visualize and understand what you can expect when you place your order for Medifast Diet or Medifast Replacement Meals. Just to be clear I want you to understand that each of the boxes in the video contain what are referred to as 7 Medifast Meals. Each of those meals (ie: cheese puffs, pancakes, pretzels…) count as one of the 5 meals that are eaten daily when doing the Medifast 5 and 1 Meal Plan.
The video provides a brief and informal look at what a person can expect when they open up their first Medifast order. The actual menu selection that is available is much, much larger than what you see in the video. The menu that is available from Medifast has about 70 different meals that can be chosen from. The choices that we did for the video simply reflect what Sue and I like to eat.
Since I work in big box retail (a big blue home improvement store) I choose the meals that are easy to just grab and eat throughout my day. I actually get to eat about every 2 to 3 hours, which makes me feel like I am not really on a diet. I first thought that I would have a hard time eating 5 Medifast Meals everyday, but I learned it really is a simple thing to do.
I have also learned, that by eating meals as you see in the video, I am saving money. By not eating out at Subway or some other fast food place my overall food bill has actually gone down. I now really understand what Medifast means by being “cost neutral” because the price I pay for the meals often ends up being cheaper than eating one meal out! I have learned that I not only save calories, I am saving money too.
The last thing I want to do is show you my Medifast before and after photographs. I lost about 112 pounds over 5 1/2 months by eating the meals, such as you see, in the video. If you want to lose weight …I mean really want to lose weight… more than just lip-service….I mean if you really want to become thin, then try Medifast. I can say this because it is the only thing that has worked for my wife and I. Check out our photographs below and see for yourself. Medifast is the real deal and I feel this strongly because it is the only weight loss plan that empowered us enough to not only lose the weight but to also be able to keep that weight off!
We did it and so can you!
Mindy Denton’s Medifast Success Story
We added this video we found on YouTube because of the upbeat tempo of the music. We must tell you that her success story is not uncommon when talking about Medifast. The average person that chooses to lose weight using Medifast does lose significant amount of weight. The driving force behind the successof Medifast is that it really does work so seeing success stories all over the Internet is a common thread of Medifast. If you have not noticed there really is not anybody saying bad things about Medifast. The only time we see bad things being said about Medifast is when they are just trying to sell you a different product.
Watch the short video below and see if you can stop yourself from smiling. We do not know this Mindy Denton person, we just liked the video….You GO GIRL!!!!!
Tyler Synan and Medifast Sucess Story Video
For anyone who doubts that Medifast can work should watch this video where Tyler Synan who is only 20 years old and lost 165 pounds. I would love to tell you that this story is amazing, but for medifast, it really is quite typical. I lost over 100 pounds and I never made the news. My wife lost over 70 pounds and she never made the news. I will also say that even though it is great to hear the wonderful weight loss new of Tyler, it is standard operating proceedure for people that order Medifast and follow the plan.
Don’t wait till you are in a hospital bed with medical issues and life threatening disease. It is a shame that so many people wait until they are really sick before they make a change. You don’t have to wait until you are a type 2 diabetic before you make a change in your life. The only thing holding you back is…..you. I wish I could reach out through your computer monitor and give you a hug of encouragement because if Sue and I could lose weight, anyone can make it happen.
Watch the 2 short videos below and if you want to lose weight don’t give up on yourself simply because you have not found the weight loss program that works for you. If you follow Medifast, you be using possibly the best weight loss program on the market today. I also snuck in a photo of Sue and I at the bottem to show off our new bodies also!
