Medifast plans to be on this journey with you for a while. That is why I’m working with them. The big thing with Medifast is not only helping you to lose weight, but to keep it off and make your new habits a lifestyle. Once you have made the decision to get healthy you are ready to order your first month of Medifast meals and set your start date!
I want to walk you through how ordering works and what this will cost you. Medifast promotes this program to cost about $10/day to start. This is because they are giving you a week free by enrolling you (for free) in the BeSlim Club. I want you to know up front that after the first month the price is more like $14/day which i still think is affordable but you should know this going in. With the BeSlim club you get free shipping so no hidden costs there. But the first month for most people is $310.25 and after that it’s $401.50. There may be more discounts as you earn BeSlim reward points or more costs if you decide to add additional snacks.
If you save $100/week, which you should be able to do with the money you save on eating out and grocery shopping on this plan, then you should easily be able to pay off your credit card in full each month. One note of warning is that in the BeSlim club they do assume you will be ordering monthly and they will automatically send you a BeSlim kit every 4 weeks unless you notify them customize, change, or cancel it.
So you start by going to the website http://www.forpreventionsake.tsfl.com and click the shop tab. You then look at the tabs on the left and under 5 & 1 meal plans click “kits”. The more expensive kit that you see for $346.25 includes a really comprehensive book written by Dr. Andersen on the Habits of Health as well as it’s companion guide to living a longer healthier life. I recommend this kit if you are the type of person that will take time to read the book and you are very interested in improving and understanding your health and nutrition. I have the book and it’s like a college textbook. It’s very thorough and includes an appendix with recipes, exercises, and helpful charts and logs.
The other 3 kit options are your standard starter kits. They all include a free blender bottle and the option to pick 5 custom food choice options. Again, they cost $310.25 and give you 4 weeks, which is 28 days worth of Medifast products to complement the 5 & 1 meal plan.
The favorites kit includes tried and true favorites. It has french vanilla and dutch chocolate shakes, peanut butter crunch bars, chocolate mint crunch bars, sour cream and chive mashed potatoes, parmesan cheese puffs, chocolate chip soft bake, s’mores crunch bars, mixed berry cereal crunch, brownie soft bake, chocolate chip pancakes, maple and brown sugar oatmeal, hearty ziti marinara, and honey mustard pretzel sticks.
The variety kit includes french vanilla and dutch chocolate shakes, peanut butter and chocolate mint crunch bars, cinnamon and brown sugar cereal crunch, original pancakes, garlic mashed potatoes, parmesan cheese puffs, chocolate pudding, strawberry and orange cream shakes, peanut butter chocolate chewy bars, caramel crunch bars, brownie soft bake, maple and brown sugar oatmeal, hearty vegetarian sloppy joe, and cinnamon pretzel sticks.
The on the go kit is for people that don’t have time to mix the meals with water and microwave or refrigerate them. It includes french vanilla and dutch chocolate shakes, peanut butter crunch bars, chocolate mint crunch bars, cinnamon pretzel sticks, parmesan cheese puffs, chocolate crunch bars, mixed berry cereal crunch, caramel crunch bars, cinnamon and brown sugar cereal crunch, cheese pizza bites, and honey mustard pretzel sticks.
So you pick your kit and add it to your cart. The website will walk you through picking your extra custom meals and creating an account. Or you can call Medifast and they can walk you through everything. The toll free number is 800.572.4417. If you want to custom order your meals just be sure to order 20-22 boxes. If you need gluten free or dairy free options for example then custom ordering is defiantly the way to go. 20 boxes will cover you for 28 days but 22 boxes will ensure you get 30 days or have extra snack options. I would like to recommend that you consider adding additional snacks to your order. And here’s why. I don’t want you to substitute an extra Medifast meal in place of your lean and green meal but for some people you may have some days that are more difficult than others as you adjust to this new lifestyle. If you need a little extra something I’d rather you have a Medifast snack then risk eating something off the plan and interfering with your progress. Medifast has flavor infusers that are only 5 calories each, and they also have snack crackers and soy crisps that make great simple snacks for occasional or add on use. Medifast’s nutritionally complete and proportionally controlled options are the safest resource to transition to optimal health. But even if you don’t have them I’m going to help you get through any challenges that come up. So go ahead and place your first order and let’s set your start date!
Don’t forget that Medifast has been used safely and effectively since 1980. It was physician formulated and it’s scientifically proven. Many people have been on and continue to be on this plan! Look at your list of top 3 “whys” and get excited about this life change. You are doing the most important thing you can for your health and your life! I am proud of you and excited for you!
One more thing!
If you are someone that doesn’t want to put together a lean and green meal or you want some that are already prepared for you until you learn to make them yourself then you can order them from Medifast. Online there is a category of “lean and green meals” called “Flavors of Home”. They have beef stew, chicken cacciatore, turkey meatball marinara and chicken with rice and vegetables. In fact, if you ordered 30 of these meals your total with the kit (and no additional snacks) would be $458.75 and you would have 4 weeks of food completely without having to supplement at all! Now that just makes life easy. The choice is yours! What’s that? $15/day? Awesome! A great option for anyone that doesn’t want to put any meals together yourself and wants complete structure and discipline to start out!
UPDATE:
You can also get started with Medifast without ordering a pre made kit. You will still get the same price / special for the first month if you custom order 22 boxes of Medifast meal replacements. The huge discount doesn’t show up until you are well in the checkout process but it does discount!!! If you need help with this simply contact me! Barbara@BarbaraGrubbs.com .

Since 1980 Medifast has successfully helped people stop yo-yo dieting and start gaining optimal health. The physician formulated meal replacements have safely helped people gain control over their health, weight, and every aspect of their lives. When you purchase your meals from Medifast I get to train, guide, and encourage you with assistance from Take Shape for Life. This is free to you but they pay me a little change to do this based on Medifast food product orders because they know a strong support system is a key component to success. This has been proven over and over again in research. I love the concept of making this a lifestyle and not just a fad diet. I hope you’ll give it a try. It WILL change your LIFE.
