I did not believe at first that these shakes would be filling for someone who needs to feel full like myself. I tried the Dutch chocolate and the mocha but I find the mocha was the best tasting. The chocolate was kind of chalky. If you mix the two together it isn't so bad. One shake will hold me over for a few hours without feeling hungry so I would definitely recommend these to those who are busy and on the go a lot like myself.
(indicates that they have used the product)I used the product for about 6 months, the pricing was a barrier sometimes. I spent a lot of time looking on ebay and amazon for a good deal from one of my amazon orders the company gave me a discount coupon. It says good for optifast and medifast:
Medifast coupon code:2f1d0f20
Optifast coupon code: 2f1d0f20
The catch is that you have to use their site. www.myweightcare.com/shopping
Since they offered google checkout I used them with fast shipping. I'm not on the optifast plan, I like their shakes a bit better, but medifast has much more variety and I can order in smaller amounts.
Hope that helps.
I was very displeased with this product so I began to do some research on my own. There are two different web sites that offer the same thing some even taste better and it is alot cheaper. www.mydietshopz.com, www.doctorsbestweightloss.com you will b glad you checked it out. $ 9.94-$ 9.95 a box.
(indicates that they have used the product)I had Open RNY 8 years ago, lost 150 lbs but gained 70 back. I thought I would go back to the basics of after surgery and I found Medifast products. I have loved them. They are perfect in portion size, nutrients, and I have been successful at relosing my weight.

I'm on this journey with everyone so lets make it successful!
Love the Dutch Chocolate 70 shakes, and have also tried the Vanilla as well, although to make it palatable, I have to add some pumpkin spice, cinnamon, vanilla flavoring or something else. Just easier and very yummy to stick with the chocolate, although it is 10 more calories than the Vanilla! I use 1 full cup of water on the blender, then add the packet carefully. After blending on high for a few minutes, I add 8 to 10 ice cubes and run it on the "crush ice" setting for a few minutes, then puree for a while longer. Comes out cold and wonderful! Almost like a real shake, yum! Have 4 shakes plus the lean and green meal at dinner each day, and although I find myself missing brussels sprouts (darn it!), potatoes & breads, the weight lost so far makes it all worthwhile! Lost 21 lbs the first week, then 7lbs the 2nd week, and 8 more the third with hopes to continue. Seems as though surgery day can't arrive soon enough though. :o) UPDATE: Surgery is in three days now, WOW! I lost every week I was on Medifast except one, which was my fault. Went to five shakes (doubled my dinner one) and no meal for the last few weeks and am very tired, however the weight loss has been fantastic! Lost a total of 84 pounds so far, that in almost three months time, and prior to surgery too! Anyway, if you mix this product right and follow the doctor's orders, you're sure to get wonderful results!
