The Medifast diet is one of the easiest ways to lose weight and keep it off for the long term. Many people have a difficult time with sticking to a diet and if they are able to lose the weight, they tend to put it back on quickly. Medifast gives you everything that you need, from a meal plan and delivered meals to resources that will keep you focused on your weight loss goals. One of the basic parts of the Medifast diet are the Medifast shakes. Many dieters doctor up the shakes a bit by making their own Medifast shake recipes. Perhaps some of these recipes can help keep you focused and continuing with the Medifast diet until you've lost all of the weight you need to lose.

Medifast Shake Recipe Ideas

Adding some flavor to your shkes by using Crystal Light or DaVinci sugar free syrups to your shakes in order to change the flavor. This will give you several different choices and as long as you stick with sugar-free to give it a little bit of zing. These are the syrups that they use at coffee houses like Starbucks. At your supermarket, you are likely to find these in your coffee aisle. Just make sure you get the sugar free syrups! Naturally, all of the nutty flavors -- hazelnut, almonds, etc taste terrific in the chocolate shakes. They also taste delicious in the hot cocoa so don't forget to give that a try as well. For the vanilla shake, one syrup I really enjoy with it is the coconut. The difficult part of this is keeping within the Medifast diet guidelines while still giving yourself something that seems like a treat.
