How does Medifast Taste?

One of the questions that often comes up is how does the Medifast food taste? Being that you are going to eat their weight loss meals for 5 of the six times a day that you do eat, it is an important question. To recap briefly, the plan is to eat what they often call supplements, which are their food replacements, every 2-3 hours, and then have one "lean and green" meal each night. Actually, you can have the meal anytime you want, but most people make that dinner with the family; although you could use that if you have a lunch meeting or appointment.

So, in my opinion, the weight loss supplements are average, but given the results, they are more than adequate. Tasty enough to stick with it. The shakes are mixed with water, not milk, so you can forget the rich, creamy image of a shake that may come to mind. They have a number of flavors and most are ok, so long as you accept the fact that it's, well, watery. Tip: don't let it sit for too long. If you have a meeting at 10:00, don't leave the 1/2 empty cup there to come back to at 11. The hour will made the shake mix and water separate, and it's not an appetizing result.

Beyond shakes, you can have pudding, bars, soups, and oatmeal. The oatmeal is a little bland, but ok. Try some splenda in there. The rest of the food is good. Not outstanding, but good. Use the official web site and tools to find out how people mix and match to make the supplements more interesting.

By the way, if you are comparision shopping for a fast, meal replacement weight loss diet, in my humble opinion, the supplements are far, far, better tasting than Nutrisystem. That was a painful experience. We didn't last one week on that plan...
