We Know What You Are Thinking...
"I have tried diets before--What is so different about this program?"
Take Shape for Life is not a diet. It is a program based on clinical studies* who have been successful at losing weight and keeping it off for good (average 5 years). On average, participants saw 2-5 pounds loss per week, but does vary from person to person. You will eat every two to three hours (six small meals a day). Most participants feel great, have no hunger, and stay highly motivated due to the quick results.
How Do Medifast Meals Work?
The Medifast meals are designed to maintain a balance between the intake of carbohydrates and proteins. The amount of protein consumed on the diet is equal to that consumed by a normal eater. However, carbohydrate level is significantly less when compared to a normal meal pattern and the carbohydrates in Medifast are low glycemic.
Carbohydrates provide most of our energy for day-to-day functioning. When an individual eats carbohydrate foods, such as bread or pasta, the body converts the carbohydrate molecules into glucose, a fuel for the body. On Medifast, the low-carbohydrate content provides only minimal amounts of glucose, forcing the body to look elsewhere for an energy source. This process initiates ketosis.
As your body uses the fat stores, they release molecules called "free fatty acids" into the bloodstream. Then the liver converts these molecules into "ketones", an energy source similar to glucose. Ketosis refers to the increased level of ketones in the bloodstream. Once you start Medifast, it takes only 3-5 days to build a ketosis level high enough for the body to use as fuel. Once you reach this point, distinct changes will be noticeable, such as more energy and less hunger.

No Bland Food Here!
Medifast Meals offer over 50 different meal choices, including shakes, bars, soups, oatmeal, pudding, fruit drinks, and more. There is little flavor fatigue making it easy for patients to stay on the plan. Medifast Meals are soy protein-based. Soy protein is high quality protein and is thought to be both preventitive and theraputic in cardiovascular disease, cancer, osteoporosis, and alleviate symptoms of menopause. Many of Medifast's meals contain enough soy protein to have earned the FDA-authorized health claim: "Heart Healthy." To preview available products, visit www.bellevuerx-hp.tsfl.com and click SHOP
The Long-term Solution
Support from Weight Loss to Weight Management
While achieving a healthy weight is a priority, how we feel about ourselves is also very important for long-term optimal health. A person whose daily life is full of stress, pressure, and time constraints is not healthy. By releasing stress, we can take control of our lives and release creative energy, putting our lives in motion. We learn to seek fulfillment through personal development, creating time freedom for ourselves, and spiritual living. This fulfillment breeds happiness, a key to optimal health.
Physical health is the foundation of a happy and fulfilling life. Diets have been proven to fail long-term and 85% of people that lose weight on diets gain it back within two years. Therefore, there is a two-phase approach to achieving a healthy body. In phase one, the goal is to reach a healthy weight by using Medifast Meals combined with support from your Health Advisor. Once you arrive at a healthy weight, you shift into the second phase, which aims to implement new behaviors with the BeSlim™ Forever philosophy.
Phase One: Reaching a Healthy Weight
Reaching your healthy weight is the first half of your journey to a healthy body. By believing in yourself with the support of your health advisor, you will reach your goals and begin to truly set your life in motion.
Phase Two: BeSlim™, Prescription for Life
To obtain optimal health, there are six core behaviors that must be a part of your decision to live a healthy life. These concepts have been thoroughly researched and are proven to be fundamental for long-term weight control. This second phase establishes sustainable success that opens other parts of your life to optimal health.
