If you had invested $1,000 in Medifast five years ago, you would now be worth $8,730. (Am I right? A rise of 873% on 1000 is 8,730?) You would likely be no lighter, and neither would 95-97% of the people who made you richer (not a bad return for $1,000) if the overall research on dieting is right. In fact, you would be "richer" in weight.
Nearly 275% of the increase in value was in 2016. (WHY was that?) They've lost money in the last year; I guess we missed out on most of the increase in value.
The house pretty much always wins.
Now you know one of the ways I spend my time now that I don't eat as often.
Count plates, not calories. 11 years "during"
Age 71
BMI Jan/10-30.8
1/12-26.8 3/13-24.9 +/- 8-lb. 3 yrs
9/17 22.8 (flux) 3/18 22.2
2 yrs flux 6/20 22
12/20/24 24.1
There is no S better than (mod) Vanilla No S
