How Much Does Medifast Really Cost?

When I was researching diet plans, honestly, one of my main criteria was the cost. I was afraid that not only would the diet not work, but I'd also waste a lot of money. I did a lot of research and here's what I've found:

The Total Costs Of Medifast Meals: The costs of Medifast "meals" is about $10 per day. That's about $275 per month. There are always Medifast coupons and coupon codes around that can cut this some. There are also some cheaper sources you can sometimes find. Still, that seemed a bit pricey to me until I really looked at my food budget. The fact was, I was spending about $8 - $10 on lunch as well as my morning coffee and treat that I always picked up on the way to work. And, since Medifast offers the prepackaged meals, I would no longer need this expense, nor would I need to waste gas driving around to get lunch. So, my morning and lunch were already paid for at the cost of $10 a day - actually less than I was already spending.

The Cost Of My Lean And Green Meals: On my Medifast plan, I eat one lean and green meal per day. So, I do have to come up with groceries for lean meat and veggies. The way I do this on the cheap is that I buy prepackaged salads and veggies. On the surface this may seem more expensive but it really isn't. I started out buying bulk veggies and found that there was actually a lot of spoiling and waste and buying products individually always cost me more. So I buy stir fry veggies and bag salad and only eat what I need at the time. One of these bags will last me 2-3 meals. I do buy chicken breasts, lean fish and lean pork in bulk and I freeze individual servings with marinade frozen on them. Then I prepare them quickly either grilling or steaming. This is quick, easy and cheap. I typically spend about $25 per week on my Lean and Green Meals.

Surprisingly to me, the cost of my Medifast meals has not been a real issue. Because I am spending money outside of my family's budget, I feel compelled to stick to it and not waste my family's money, and I've lost over 30 pounds for the first time in several years.

If the costs of Medifast is a concern for you, I completely understand. I felt the same way, but it just has not been an issue. I feel I've actually saved money. I no longer over shop to compensate for feeling frustrated about my weight and I'm actually spending less on food. I hope this article has helped someone.
