Analyzing Diets

As you all know I recently finished The Medifast Book! “The Secret is Out” and wanted to give you a review of what I thought about it.

The book starts out giving some factual data on the obesity problem that so many Americans are facing today. A whopping 68% of adults today are overweight and 30% are obese. The stats come to us from the American Obesity Association. Those are staggering facts and are a result of being exposed to huge portion sizes and an overabundance of sugar and fat content.

Lisa Davis, Ph.D., a clinician at the Johns Hopkins Weight Management Center and researcher at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and Brad MacDonald, the CEO of Medifast had the most input in putting this book together. In it you will find a realistic approach to weight loss taking into consideration the internal, external, physical, and emotional aspects of the problem.

There are several weight plans covered depending on what medical conditions you may have be it heart problems, diabetes or joint problems. It covers the plan for women and men separately. I liked the part where it debunked a lot of the fad diets that are on the market today. Some parts of the book became boring especially the medical facts, but for some, those parts might be very interesting.

Also the thing I like about the book are the numerous testimonials, I don’t know about you but when I read other peoples stories it tends to have a very positive effect on me and gets me motivated. Some of the info and stats in the book are taken from the movie “Fast Food Nation” Have you seen this movie yet? It will definitely open your eyes to the crap that a lot of people are eating.

Overall I thought the book was very informative, and being such a fan of the Medifast Plan and their products, it was a good motivator and addition to my book collection. If you are thinking about trying the diet out and have just not made up your mind yet, I highly recommend that you get this book.
