Conclusion
This is a program that requires somewhat of a lifestyle change. While many diet plans involve a change in eating habits or a supplement taken daily, this program involves visiting a facility on a regular basis. However, if a branch is not found in your area, you cannot utilize the Center For Medical Weight Loss. Finally, there is no price revealed for this program, which may raise a few eyebrows.
what kind of food do you eat on the modified diet?
[Reply]
I just started the program. On the modified plan you have two shakes or soups and one protein bar a day plus a 500 calorie lunch or dinner. They give you suggested menus for lunch and dinner, which helps.

I started this diet on April 9th. By the 15th I had already lost 6.5 pounds. I know I have lost more by now, but I don’t weigh in until Thursday. I’m not on the modified diet, after 6 weeks I will move to that one. Right now I have 3 shakes a day. 1 bar. and 1 soup. I won’t lie, it was hard at first, very hard. But so far it has been worth it. I got the appetite supressant last Thur. and it was helped TREMENDOUSLY!
I just started the program, too (I’m on day 3). I am doing the Low Calorie Program — 4 shakes & 1 protein bar or soup per day (total 800 calories). Because the food is nutritionally balanced, I do not feel like I’m starving. I have a “meal” every 3 hours. I like that I don’t have to think about what I’m going to eat — that’s one thing that has sidetracked my diets in the past. I wanted a plan where I would see a big drop in weight quickly to help keep me motivated. I lost 6 pounds in the first 2 days.

I just pulled up this site today and saw your comments from April..How are you doing? I just had knee surgery and when I’m able in a week or so I’ll go for a consult..Is it expensive???

What can I eat if I run out of shakes and bars. What do they equal?
[Reply]
What is the cost of this program like? I know if varies by person but can anyone give me average?
[Reply]
I have tried this program and the cost for me was $159/week (636/month). This seems expensive to me and I have had to take breaks to curb the cost. When I followed the program strictly I could lose about 4-5 pounds per week, but I have had a hard time keeping it off. They claim that they tell you how to eat after the diet, but it is difficult because you are not losing the weight by eating healthy. My plan was to try and lose the weight and then see a dietician to actually learn how to keep the weight off. I don’t think you can count on them for that.

Can someone share the weekly or monthly cost of this program? is it like jenny craig where you pay a X fee to be a member and then have to buy the shakes and bars? what are the costs?
[Reply]
After 6 weeks I have lost 26 pounds. It isn’t the cheapest diet on the market at around $1100.00 for the 6 weeks, but the results have been worth it so far, or at least they have been for me.
[Reply]
Does the cost you quoted include the bars/shakes/soups and appitite suppressants?
[Reply]
I started it yesterday. I have a whole lot of choices because I’m a teen so they give me 2000 calories a day.. I feels like I’m eating more but I’ve lost 3 pounds in one day so I’m pretty happy.. Even though the pudding and cheesecakes are disgusting..

Can I be alergic to anything in the poroducts, am experiencing lots of itching after 1 week on the program.
[Reply]
I started this program a year ago and have lost 67lbs. I have not gained any weight back and am still following the modified plan. I highly recommend this program but it does require a complete change in your lifestyle and really addressing your addiction to food. It is not easy, but no diet is. Actually, I would not call this a diet. I would call it a lifestyle change. When you compare the cost with how much you probably were spending eating out or going to the grocery store, there is no comparison. Just go see for yourself and give it a try.

I’ve been in the program 5 weeks and have lost 12 pounds. This is half of my target already! I haven’t been totally compliant either and have had light meals once or twice a week. First two days were tough, but I have IBD and now I feel better than I have in a long while.
