Medifast Diet Spokewoman Genie Francis
I can remember watching the Luke and Laura wedding way back in 1981 and I never knew the story behind Genie Francis
Medifast Journal, VLOG: Week #6
Here is another video that talks about how the Medifast is working out. She is on week 6 of of the diet and is a 31 year old that is 5’2″ tall
She said that she has experimented with using the plan while eating out because of the idea of being able to come up with new or unique lean and green meal ideas at Chili’s Restaurant. It was good to hear that she does not consider herself to be suffering from Medifast and is really starting to get comfortable with the entire Medifast Program.
The reason why we post videos like this is because we are such firm believers in the Medifast Weight Loss Plan. It is approved by over 15,000 doctors and it works. There are many weight loss scam products on the market and Medifast is NOT one of them. Medifast works or we would not be able to find all of these videos of everyday people, just like you losing weight using Medifast.
Can I Drink Alcohol or Beer When On The Medifast Diet?
The question of whether or not a person can drink beer or alcohol while trying to lose weight with the Medifast diet plan has been asked many times on this site. The answer I provide is one that often shocks because it is not the one most expect to get. If you are on, or if you are thinking of using Medifast to lose weight, the answer to whether or not alcohol can be consumed is really a very simple answer because the answer is “yes.” There is nothing going to stop you from drinking liquor or booze or the occasional beer. Now that you have heard the good news about booze and Medifast, let me give you the not so good news.
The one thing about losing weight is that it is all about commitment. The more weight a person needs to lose, or wants to lose, requires the person to have that much more commitment. All too often I hear lip-service from those that say they are tired of being over weight and then do nothing about actually losing the weight. Medifast is really not that much different than ANY other weight loss plan when it comes down to commitment. That commitment level is what separates a person from being overweight and the person that is going to lose the weight. If a person wants to lose weight using Medifast then there will need to be a period of time that drinking alcohol cannot be consumed. Sure you can drink it…but not if you want to lose weight. Nobody is going to chain you down and stop you from drinking, but if you REALLY hope to lose weight, you will give up the booze while your weight loss attempt is occurring.
The point I am trying to make is that you are the one that decided it may be time to lose weight and regain some of your youth and your health. If you are looking to drink booze or beer during that time period merely shows a lack of commitment to the overall intention of actually doing something about being obese! Does this mean that if you drink a beer you are a weight loss failure? No, it does not but it is really a double-edged sword, that is very sharp.
Medifast is unlike most other diet or meal plans out there in the way a person loses the weight. A key reason for this is that the plan is low-glycemic and that means that if you follow the plan, you stay in a mild and continuous fat burning state. That fat burning is achieved and as long as the plan is followed, you will continue to burn fat and hence….lose weight. If you stray from the plan and drink just one beer, you have caused an influx of carbohydrates and sugars that will halt the fat burning process for up to 3 days. If you drink that beer you will simply forfeit up to 3 days of fat burning and how does that fit into your commitment? Nobody will stop you from drinking the vodka, but then nobody is making you do Medifast either. It simply comes down to how badly you want to lose weight and how firm is your weight loss commitment to yourself. If you truly want to lose weight then you need to get out of the way of yourself.
I also know that a person cannot live their life in a diet vacuum forever. If you have some special event coming up like a wedding or a cruise then schedule the event. Stop the plan for that occasion, enjoy yourself and then jump back onto the plan. The difficult or tricky part is getting back on plan. That tricky part is not unique to Medifast, it is common to any and all weight loss plans. The easy part is going off the plan by drinking a beer or some whiskey, the hard part is recommitting yourself the morning after.
So, to answer the question of whether or not you can drink alcohol while using Medifast is simple. Yes you can…but not if you want to keep losing weight.

Is Medifast a Fad Diet?
Is Medifast a fad diet?
If you are here trying to decide whether or not Medifast is a fad diet…you have come to the right place because I have been using Medifast for one year and have learned quite a bit about what Medifast is…and what Medifast is not. What I will say is that Medifast is not a fad diet in any way what-so-ever. To qualify this answer let me first take a definition of what a fad diet is all about. The definition of what a fad diet is as follows;
“a reducing diet that enjoys temporary popularity”
What you need to know about Medifast is that it has been around longer than almost any established diet plan on the market today. A well worn Medifast statement is that it has been recommended by more than 20,000 doctors since 1980. Since it is a very simple statement that can be verified anywhere, it is quite evident that Medifast has been around way too long to be classified as a fad diet. Since the definition of a fad diet involves a diet that is short-lived, and since Medifast has been around well over 30 years…it can hardly be even remotely considered to be a fad diet. In short, Medifast has an established history i
Although the Medifast Diet has been in existence since 1980, the knowledge and experience behind the concept of this meal replacement program goes as far back as 50 years. Medifast is owned by Jason Pharmaceuticals, Inc. of Owings Mills, MD and was originally founded by William Vitale, MD.
The Medifast method is simple meal replacement. It is not like any other other diet on the market. Medifast provides life changing behavior modification programs (it has changed the life of my wife and I) and products that support their customers through weight loss and into weight maintenance. The Medifast program teaches people how to lose weight and keep it off for life. That is why the diet is more successful for significantly overweight people, like I used to be, because the longer you are on the diet, the more you learn about healthy eating habits, meal preparation, portion control, nutritional information and weight management.
So…without going into anymore detail about whether or not Medifast is a fad diet, let me just leave you with the definition and a few more Medifast facts that will dispel any doubt you may have remaining.

Weight Loss Success Stories
Okay! So I love using Medifast products to lose weight! I admit it and my passion for helping to change the obese problem one person at a time is something that helps me get out of bed each and every day of the week. I have taken back my life through the use of Medifast and all that the overall program can offer. As I sit here writing this brief article aboutweight loss success stories I have to tell you something that I have noticed for some time now. As I sit here trying to convince the obese people of the world the reality of Medifast being able to create a success story on an individual basis I NEED to show you something. I need to show you what sets Medifast apart from any so-called competition out there. I want you to travel with me and check out weight loss success stories all over the Internet.
As you research the different weight loss plans and travel through cyberspace I invite you to check out all of the success stories that each organization has to offer and I really want you to note the tiny difference that is what sets Medifast apart as the superior weight loss plan in the world today. I want you to travel to the competitors of Medifast and see for yourself just how inferior they all are to the weight loss potential that Medifast really has to offer.
Click on the link below and you will arrive at the official Jenny Craig website, success stories page. On that page you will note that there is a itty-bitty asterick below the smiling man that says….and I quote….“*Clients following our program, on average, lose 1-2 lbs per week.”
Now shoot over to eDiets and see that Connie lost 136 pounds in 17 months. That equals to 1.9 pounds lost per week. (136 pounds divided by 17 months equals 8 pounds a month. 8 pounds per month divided by 4.2 weeks a month equals 1.9 pounds per week. / Yes, on average there is 4.2 weeks per month when talking about a year.)
Now check out Weight Watchers and you will note that they too only offer you the ability to lose as follows…and again I quote from their own website….”People following the Weight Watchers plan can expect to lose 1-2 pounds per week.” Once again you will note that they are just like the status quo of the weight loss world and offer their ability to help you lose 1 to 2 pounds a week. That is all they offer on their success stories and that tiny fact makes them just like all of the other mediocre weight loss plans in the world today.
Weight Watchers Official Website
Now let’s check out what is available on the weight loss plan that I feel is the best in the world for being unique and effective. Lets go see what is said on The Medifast Website. As you travel to the link below I want you to note that on the Official Medifast Website Success Stories the following quote will be revealed on ANY link you find that has a success story…and there are MANY such links. What you will note in the fine print of the Medifast website is that the following is claimed…and once again, I quote…“Typical weight loss on The Medifast 5 & 1 Plan is 2 to 5 pounds per week.”
Now imagine that…if you just explored what I provided you it will be discovered that out of ALL the weight loss websites in the world today give you the information you need to make a quality decision to decide what weight loss plan works best. When you follow the link below you will discover that on the WORST average week on Medifast is twice as good as the BEST week an any other plan!
By the admission of each site….Medifast wins and trumps all others in weight loss ability for speed and effectivemness. Check out the link for yourself…
If you followed all of the links above you will quickly realize what I have known for sometime now! What that one small fact is that Medifast offers much better weight loss results and those results can be found in their success stories. OH!
If you want to see my success story using Medifast just check out the link below and although I am not done yet….I am well on my way to getting back to the weight that I have craved for so long. What I also have realized is that the only weight loss success story that really means anything is mine. My weight loss success story is all about Medifast and I say that because it is the only thing that has given me the results I have tried to obtain for oh so long!
Do what you want, but why waste your time, efforts and money with any weight loss program other that Medifast? The results you see are real and they were fast and for me….the weight loss was all that I was told it would be and for that fact I just want to say…THANK YOU MEDIFAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and I ain’t even dnoe yet and I feel so good and positive about it all. Life is great for me once again!!!!
