Can't I Just Make My Own Meals Rather Than Using Medifast?

A very common question that I get regarding the Medifast diet plan, is "why can't I simply just cook the meals myself?" I can understand why someone would ask that question, especially when they think they can save some money by doing this. I wish I could tell them it's that simple, but it's really not. If you can figure it out, please let me know, because I haven't been able to do it.

I suppose I can't say its impossible to do this, but goodness I, and most other people, don't have that kind of time on their hands. There is a very good reason for this. It's because the nutritionists who created the Medifast plan were very precise in the nutritional contents of every single meal. Each meal has the exact amount of protein and fiber that is essential for weight loss. The problem that most of the ingredients that are in these meals can't be found in generic supermarkets.

To give you an example, take a look at some of the shakes that Medifast has created. You are talking about shakes that have an exact formula of soy and wheat protein. Not only is it difficult to find this, in most stores, but if you are lucky enough to locate them, I'll bet you anything that the price isn't cheap.

The only way I could even think about making this a cheaper alternative would be if you bought all of these ingredients in bulk. I don't know about you, but I don't have that kind of space in my kitchen. You also have to worry about keeping the shake under 100 calories because it's important to your overall diet plan. There is a lot to think about. It's not as simple as just throwing a bunch of stuff in a blender.

Also, the health bars that you get from the plan contain only 2 grams of sugar, and they actually taste good. Go to your local supermarket and see if any of the health bars that you find there will be able to be that low in sugar and still taste good. Somehow, I don't think you are going to have much luck.

Any way you look at it, you are talking about a lot of time, effort, and money to duplicate what can be done by just going to the Medifast website and picking out what meals you want to eat. They deliver it, and you eat it. It's as simple as that.
