Mixed Messages

They are out to get us.  They're everywhere, and the mixed messages they send are enough to make us crazy!  Who's the "they" I'm referring to?  The media and the fast food industry - talk about a deadly pair!

You and I see it every day - ads for every kind of fattening and unhealthy food you can imagine, often right next to the latest "lose weight quick" ad, next to a recipe for a high-calorie, high-fat dish, next to the latest warning from the medical community about the growing danger of obesity and obesity-related disease.  Does this dichotomy make you as crazy at it makes me?  The information out there is confusing and contradictory. On the one hand, we're being repeatedly warned about the health risks of obesity, while on the other hand we are bombarded with ads for things that will make the obesity epidemic even worse.

We simply can't eat the foods advertised in all of those glitzy ads and get to a healthy weight.  Those high calorie/high fat recipes featured on the cover of magazines will only keep us on a path of obesity and disease.  What most of us have figured out by now is that there is no magic diet that will melt away our excess weight while we sleep, or while we continue in our old and unhealthy patterns.  Many of us have wasted way too much time and way too much money in a futile pursuit of something that doesn't exist. 

Now for the good news!

You already have in your hands THE most clinically proven way to lose weight quickly and safely.  You may or may not know that Medifast has been around for over 30 years and that the safety and efficacy of this program has been proven by multiple clinical studies at leading research institutions.  There is NO faster way to lose weight safely than the program you're on, but it goes way beyond losing the weight, because our Take Shape for Life/Medifast program will also help you stay at your healthy weight.

Now that you have THE program in your hands, all you have to do is open 5 little packets today and eat a meal of lean protein and a green salad or vegetable - how simple is that?  By doing so, you'll be one day closer to your goal, and that's a promise that's supported with solid research.  There are no mixed media messages here - all we have to do is choose wisely :-)
