A Comparison of Two Popular Diet Plans, Nutrisystem & MediFast

By Michelle Dixon

You may have decided that using a diet meal replacement plan or diet food plan would be the easiest way for you to lose weight. However, there are so many plans available; you may not know which program would work the best for you. In this article I will compare two very popular diet food, meal replacement plans Nutrisystem and MediFast. These diet plans may seem similar, although once you read about each plan, you will find they are very different.

Nutrisystem Overview:

Nutrisystem offers prepackaged, pre-portioned diet meals for breakfast, lunch, dinner and two snacks. You are advised to add fresh vegetables, fruits, salads to lunch, and dinner meals. The meals are low calorie, yet nutritionally sound with the added fresh fruit and vegetables. The diet meals are based on low glycemic, good carbs, with the right amount of protein and fiber that your body needs for increased fat and calorie burning.

The Nutrisystem program also offers a free weight loss community website where you can get free diet counseling, weight loss tips and community support in your weight loss endeavors.

Nutrisystem advises if you eat their prepackaged diet meals and follow their plan, you can potentially lose 1 to 3 pounds a week.

MediFast Overview:

MediFast offers prepackaged diet meal replacement foods including shakes, soups, bars, pudding, drinks and cereals. Their name basically sums up how their plan works; you are “fasting” most of the day. Their most popular program is the 5 and 1 diet program where you eat 5 MediFast meals a day and 1 low calorie, low fat meal you cook and prepare yourself. Their plan is designed to be calorie deficient (between 800 – 1000 calories a day), thereby allowing your body to use fat for energy.

MediFast also offers a free weight loss community website where you can get diet support, weight loss tips, diet recipes and more.

MediFast advises if you follow their 5 in 1 diet program and use their diet meal replacements you can potentially lose up to 20 pounds in a month.

Have you noticed how much fatter people have gotten since more “weight loss” and “diet” foods have been put out on the market? Well, I assure you it’s no coincidence. Processed Foods can truly be considered “Non Foods” since they resemble more of a science experiment than they do real food.

1.To make differentiating between healthy natural food vs. non foods, just stay away from anything that contains ingredients on a label that you can’t pronounce. If the ingredients list to your favourite cereal is more complicated than your college organic chemistry final, chances are you should stay away from it at all costs. These chemicals are all toxins to your body (just as artificial sweeteners are) and your liver becomes extremely overwhelmed trying to rid your body of these harmful toxins. Why is this important in your efforts to lose fat? Well, the other job of your liver is to burn body fat and if it is too busy ridding you of toxic overload, it has no time (or energy) to get rid of your unwanted fat.

2.Are you Training for Sumo Wrestling? Sumo wrestlers make a concerted effort to get fat for their sport. So if your number one goal was to GET FAT this is exactly what you could do: – Skip breakfast and eat very little all day long – Eat the bulk of your caloric intake in a large heavy meal, filled with complex carbohydrates in the evening – Go to bed after eating this heavy meal. That’s it. This strategy has been working for sumo wrestlers for years. And you know who else it is working for? The 130 million people who are overweight or obese. You must develop the habit of eating frequent meals all day long to develop the kind of warp speed metabolism that is going to allow you to get lean and stay lean (no sense in getting there without being able to maintain it right?) Eat 5-7 well portioned meals each day and you will see your body burn fat faster than you can say “sumo wrestler.”

What can Oprah’s trainer do for you?

If you watch Oprah Winfrey you may have caught the shows where she talks about how her personal trainer Bob Greenechanged her life and helped her to overcome the yo-yo weight problems she had between diets. She managed to lose a lot of weight but could never keep it off consistently – until she tried it Bob’s way.

Bob Greene’s Best Life Diet program consists of three-phases, that you proceed through at your own pace. It introduces gradual changes to the diet – his book even list’s a typical week of Oprah’s eating regime – then “each phase gradually leads you to an increasingly healthy and slimming diet and encourages you to increase physical activity.”

In each phase, you’ll be asked to reexamine the decisions you make on a daily basis and gradually alter your habits to achieve lasting results. The book also includes easy-to-follow meal plans that make it simple to meet your daily energy and nutrient requirements, whether you are on the run and breakfast means a quick smoothie or you have time to shop for fresh produce and make something special.
