About Movie

Being overweight is never cool. For some reason, the media, the fashion scene and even regular folks only have eyes for the "thin ones" - the models, the movie stars and public figures with slender bodies and sexy bodies that everybody admires and covets.

And to those who are not gifted with a slim figure, this trend brings about low self - esteem. Find it hard to believe? Then try this, while you are out for lunch or dinner, try observing the behavior and posture of the slim ones versus to those who are in the heavy side.

In most cases, you would observe that people who are overweight have the tendency to walk with their heads down, shoulders slumped forward and their movements tend to be limited, as if they are avoiding catching attention. On the other hand, people with lean and sexy bodies are more likely to exhibit the opposite behavior. They walk with their chins up, they carry a better posture, they smile more and they are more outspoken.

Apart from this high confidence level, slim and healthy people are less likely to get sick, carry a happier disposition and they live longer too.

Those "advantages" are probably the reasons why almost everybody strives to be a thinner and a healthier individual. However, as you may already know, the path to losing weight is never easy. It requires commitment and a lot of sacrifices on one's end.

What sacrifices? Among them are:

- Committing to an exercise routine at least 3 to 4 times a week
- Lessening your alcohol intake
- Sleeping early (which means that you also have to minimize going out at night)
- And revamping your old eating habits.

Among those sacrifices, the last one seems to create more impact to most of the people who want to lose weight. Why so? This is because changing one's eating habits often means minimizing, if not letting go of the guilty pleasures from comfort foods such as the big, all-American cheesy hamburger, the creamy ice-cream, cakes and other desserts.

However, it would be important to note that revamping your eating habits does not mean that the dieters have to go hungry. This simply means that as one says goodbye to fat and carbohydrate-rich foods, he/ she has to say hello to a lot more greens, lean meat or healthier meal replacement plans.

While all of these sound easy, the actual challenge comes in one stays into a "diet" for two weeks or more. This is because at that point, the food suddenly starts to become boring and bland.

But not all dieters have to continue sticking with boring in bland. After all, this is what Medifast is supposed to be for.

What exactly is a Medifast diet?

It is a meal replacement programs that aims to do two things: one, to kick "boring" out of the picture and two, to provide dieters healthy meal alternatives. To give you an idea, the prepackaged meals include: scrumptious stews, chili, pudding, chocolate shakes, chocolate bars and even some nice and fluffy scrambled eggs. Note that they are not only delicious but they are also packed with vitamins and minerals as well.

The idea of the program is to have the dieter eat six small meals a day. Five of those are supposed to be one of the replacement meals of their choice and one lean and green meal. If the plan is followed, the dieter can lose an average of 2 to 5 pounds a week.

The best part is, along with the program, they get to have online support that can help them overcome challenges that come with losing weight. So now, do you agree that with Medifast in the picture, losing weight suddenly becomes so easy?
