What you should know before you begin the Medifast Diet Program... 

Hi, and welcome to my website.  Before you explore the information I have provided here, I want you to know who I am and why I have created this website.  Embarking on any weight loss / health program is a big commitment, and one that should not be taken lightly.  So, if you want a true-blue opinion on this program, read on.

I don't want you to get the wrong impression of this site.  It is not to try and persuade you to purchase the Medifast Diet program.  It is to provide you with information based on on my experiences and how it compares with the experiences I have had elsewhere.  That way you can use this information, and info from other sources, to decide on what the best choice for you. 

First, I have battled obesity my entire life - my ENTIRE life.  The same story you will find elsewhere about how trying every diet and so forth, is true here for me too.  An important difference in my story though, is that as a trained scientist, and a psychotherapist (master's degree in clinical psychology), I have an in-depth knowledge of how to view things from an objective perspective as well as a deep understanding of human behavior.  Human behavior like over-eating or binge-eating.  Now it may strike you as odd that a trained mental health professional has a problem with saying no to food.  My obsession with food began LONG before I entered the field of psychology, and I think the combination of my profession and a true understanding of what it is like to be obese (long-term!) and have a food addiction is a huge plus in my evaluation of this program.
