Spokane Medifast – how beneficial is it to your Spokane Diet?
Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009When a Spokane Resident decides to take the necessary steps towards Spokane Weight Loss, there are many things that first come to mind – namely – how can the weight be lost? There are different options available, and each is touted as the best and most effective way to achieve that slim, Sexy Spokane Body. A few of the options I chose to look at today were the “Special K” diet, the Alli weight loss pill, and the Medifast diet.
The “Special K” Challenge:
•The Premise: Replace two of your Spokane Meals daily (breakfast and lunch) with one serving of the cereal – which is 1 cup along with ½ cup skim milk. Have healthy snacks throughout the day, and then have a healthy Spokane Dinner.
•The Promise: Kelloggs claims that Spokane Residents can lose up to 6lbs in 2 weeks on this food substitution method alone.
•The Problem: A one cup serving of Special K isn’t that filling – and only offers 7g of protein per serving, along with a whopping 22g of carbs. It seems more prudent to eat a balanced meal, feel fuller, and get more protein.
The Medifast Diet:
•The Premise: A high protein, low carbohydrate portion and calorie controlled Spokane Diet, offering between 800 – 1,000 calories per day. It’s a tiered plan, which cuts out all carbs first thing, and then slowly reintroduces them over a matter of months and encourages following a Healthy Spokane Diet.
•The Promise: The rep that I have been consulting with has advised that I will probably “lose 15-30 lbs your 1st month and 2-5 lbs a week after that.” It is specifically “designed to yield a loss of 2 to 5 pounds per week while preserving muscle mass.”
•The Problem: $299/month for the most basic plan – which is 5 meals a day, and then you create your own “lean and green” meal for dinner, making it not so cost effective, despite their facts and figures. I’m able to feed myself and my Spokane Husband quite healthily (a very active, high-appetite kind of guy) on $200/month. Also, the final kicker, as noted in the Medifast literature itself: “Most Spokane Experts draw the line at 1,200 calories as the minimum needed for adequate nutrition, and say that Spokane Dieters should not dip below this number unless they’re under a Spokane Physician’s care.” Sounds a little risky.
The Alli Weight Loss Program:
•The Premise: Alli is the “only FDA-approved, over-the-counter weight loss product.” It prevents fat absorption in the intestines, which in turn cuts down on the amount of calories that are absorbed.
•The Promise: Alli is a safe way to supplement weight loss – only affecting your digestive system, not “your heart or your brain.” Alli also claims that it can help you lose your Spokane Weight at a rate of 1.5 times faster than with exercise alone.
•The Problem: According to the Mayo Clinic website “The average weight loss for prescription-strength Xenical is…[only] about 6lbs greater [per year] than diet and exercise alone.” The non-prescription strength Alli is estimated to provide about half of that – so only 3lbs more per year than with reasonable diet and exercises changes alone – and with the risk of “gas with an oily anal discharge.” That last sentence is enough to scare me away!
These three options certainly promise results, but all indicate that they really only supplement a healthy Spokane Diet and regular Spokane Exercise. It seems like it would be easier, more cost effective, and digestively pleasant to start making health-conscious decisions regarding portion control and diet, as well as starting a regular exercise regime. Revamping a diet is easy, but with exercise, it’s best to go with a trainer to make sure that you are maximizing your workouts as well as doing them correctly!
