I am so impressed with these wonderful folks!
I am very…read morehappy with the program,.
Every person at this Medifast center is extremely friendly and welcoming each time I walk in the door they all have encouraging words to say.
Even when I have not done well, or as great as I wanted to, for that week, they find a way to uplift me and make me feel like this is normal.
One thing I can say, you never feel like a failure here.
I love the feeling that they are always going to be there for me, even after I have lost the weight and reached my goal, even after a year of maintenance is over, I sense that I can still count on them to keep me on track when necessary.
I also LOVE the fact that they have GLUTEN FREE food for my husband who is Celiac and on the program, as well. It is wonderful that we are encouraged to add veggies as we cook some of the meals, and vary how we cook their foods. In other words, you have freedom to be creative, within bounds, of course.
Believe me, I'm the queen of dieters and have done almost every conceivable diet there is. I have done three day crash diets, again and again and again, rotational diets, I have ordered programs from advertisements, read books about the body, even tried putting all the diets and knowledge I had into one diet, I have been on programs where the foods are all prepared for you and you don't even have to think, you just slam them in the microwave. I have read books on the blood types, the body types, carbs versus calories etc.
With Medifast, I am receiving so much personal encouragement, as I discover safe ways to be creative, learn portion sizes to live with for the rest of my life, Learning the balance of calories, fat, carbs and protein. I am also discovering the frequency to feed my body, and how my own body operates.
In case you can't tell I'm sold on the Medifast facility on Johnson and Broadway in El Cajon :-)
