I haven't been updating my blog lately because I have once again fell off the diet train and could not meet my weight loss goals with Weight Watchers. I re-gained the weight I had lost from Weight Watchers bringing me back to 178 lbs. Recently, I decided to try a new weight loss plan called Medifast which I have been on plan for the past week. So far I have lost 6 pounds! Yay! I have never heard of Medifast until recently, but I was introduced to it by my physician. I thought... what the heck? Why not give it a try? What do I have to lose, but pounds right? This weight loss plan is simple enough! You have five portioned controlled meals which could consist of a variety of shakes, bars, soups, puddings, brownies, oatmeals, pancakes, soft serves, cold drinks, hot drinks, and assorted snack options. There is so much to choose from and so far the food is really good! You also get to enjoy a yummy Lean and Green meal which consists of 5 to 7 oz of lean protein and 3 servings of veggies. You are basically eating every two to three hours so you are never really hungry! Their weight loss plan is almost fool proof as long as you follow their plan the way that it is intended. This is Broccoli Chicken Dijon recipe was the first recipe I tried on plan and it was pretty good! It's slightly adapted from the Medifast Lean and Green Meal Cookbook. I hope you stick around and follow me on my weight loss journey!
