Cheating

Okay, so there is NO cheating on Medifast.  I literally ate five grapes on Saturday (outside of the designated menu) and, not only did I not lose weight, I gained a half-pound.  The program works by keeping your body in Ketosis (a fat-burning stage).  That is accomplished by VERY CAREFULLY regulating your blood sugar.  Cheats (even little ones) ruin that!  Sunday I didn't cheat and lost 0.8 pounds.  So definitely worth being strict about it!
