Instructions

• 1

  Focus your Medifast-clone plan around consumption of four to five protein shakes per day with the addition of one solid and healthy meal at night. Purchase a high-quality casein protein powder in a flavor of your choice. Choose casein instead of whey protein because casein is slower-digesting and will help you to feel full longer while on the diet.

• 2

  Consume a blended protein shake every three to four hours during the day. Each shake should be mixed in water or milk (your preference), containing one or two scoops of protein powder, a half cup of berries (rotate the type of berry you use with each shake) and either a small splash of olive oil or a single tablespoon of natural peanut butter (to provide your body with healthy fat).

• 3

  Consume a solid food meal every evening for dinner. This meal should contain nothing beyond a lean protein source (low-fat meat, poultry, seafood or eggs) and green, fibrous vegetables. The additional fiber content will help to keep you regular while on a liquid diet. Good vegetables to use for this purpose include cucumbers, lettuce, spinach and broccoli.
