7 Guidelines for Medifast Weight Loss - 2
5. Remember to drink plenty of liquids
At least 64 oz of water is recommended. You should drink lots of water even if you are not going on a diet anyway. Water cleanses the body, and helps the circulation of nutrients. In addition to your water, you may have non caloric drinks, too.
We recommend that you limit your consumption of coffee and caffeinated drinks to three per day. Some people experience wildness? shakiness or the jitters from caffeine.
The official corporate website ( medifast.com ) also states that we can have coffee and tea with milk and non-caloric sweetener.
6. Use some low-calorie salad dressing
You may consume small salads, but remember to use some low-calorie salad dressing. I prefer lemon juice.
7. You can consume any kind of calorie free beverage
You can consume any kind of calorie free beverage that we want, in any quantity that we want. Diet soda is really really helping me with the plan. I drink Diet Pepsi, Diet Orange Sunkist, Diet A&W Root Beer, and Diet A&W Cream soda. It really helps to have some variety like that.
Several helpful people have informed me of a product called Davinci's sugar free syrups. Evidently these are calorie free syrups sweetened with Splenda that are used to flavor coffees. They come in 44 flavors and can be added to coffee, tea, iced tea or MEDIFAST SHAKES!!!! Because they are calorie free and carb free, I have been assured that we can use them on the plan.
