Chemical food additives were first created with the purpose of keeping food safe and bacteria free, but today, technology has taken chemicals way beyond health and safety. Westernized foods are saturated with a plethora of chemicals. Chemicals, drugs and environmental factors, including diet and lifestyles, may be responsible for causing up to 90% of all ‘Cancers’.

Because of the nature of the disease, and also because of the drastic methods currently needed for effective treatment – such as surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy – incredible suffering is experienced by people throughout the world as a consequence of ‘Cancers’.

Fats cause heart disease. In 1998, the American Heart Association finally came out telling us to limit our intake of trans fats, the main ingredient in margarine. Fat cells apparently play a role that can spur the cancer growth.

Doughnuts: Doughnuts contain hydrogenated oils, white flour, sugar, and acrylamides. Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble. First, they are made with white flour, sugar, and hydrogenated oils, then fried at high temperatures. Doughnuts, says Adams , may be the worst food you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer. French fries are like doughnuts, French fries are made with hydrogenated oils and then fried at high temperatures. They also contain cancer- causing acrylamides which occur during the frying process.

Doughnuts may be the worst food you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer. French fries are like doughnuts, French fries are made with hydrogenated oils and then fried at high temperatures.

Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar ingested every day produces a continual over-acid condition, and more and more minerals are required from deep within the body in an attempt to rectify the imbalance. In order to protect the blood, the system will extract calcium from the teeth and bones, eventually causing decay and a generally weakened condition.

Lung cancer, accounting for nearly a quarter of total cancer-related mortality, is by far the most common cancer-related cause of death. With only 9 percent, cancer of the colon is the second most common cancer-related cause of death, followed by breast cancer accounting for 8 percent. Lung cancer is also anticipated to be the number one cause of cancer death for men for a long time to come. The number of men who die from prostate cancer is on the increase.

The General Conference Nutrition Council offers information on the diet which reduces cancer risk. What you eat is important. Dietary factors are associated with 30-50 percent of all cancers. Let’s begin with discussing what you eat.

The single most important dietary change to lower cancer risk is to become a vegetarian. Animal products are associated with cancers of the prostate, colon, breast, ovary, and pancreas. Nevertheless, some studies show that those who use some milk have a lower risk of cancers than those who use none at all.

One of the major problems with consuming animal products is the fat. Animal fats make up over half of the fats in the American diet. Fat does not likely initiate cancer, but it is considered to be a promoter of it. The U.S. National Academy of Sciences states that total dietary saturated fat correlate best with an increase in cancer risk, and that 70 percent of saturated fat comes from animal products.

If the public reduced its fat intake to around 20 percent of the calories, we would see an estimated 33 percent decrease in breast, colon, rectal, ovary, and endometrial cancer.

Reducing the fat in your diet to 20 percent of the calories, will most likely reduce the risk of a number of cancers. Animal studies suggest that there is no additional benefit in reducing fat intake below 20 percent of the calories. However, a 30 percent fat diet for a vegetarian may reduce cancer risk to the same level as a 20 percent fat diet for those who get considerable amounts of animal fat.

Don’t try to eliminate all fat from your diet. Your body needs some types of fat to stay healthy. If there are no essential fatty acids in the diet, normal tissue cannot develop. Some individuals are derived because they have read reports that certain essential fatty acids of 20 percent of the calories increase cancerous tumors in animals. However, the essential fatty acids as found in vegetable oils are essential for the function of normal cells in the tissue of animals and man.

The answer to this concern is that neither normal nor cancerous tissue will develop on a 0 percent fat diet. Little tissue growth occurs between 3 and 20 percent. Epidemiological evidence clearly demonstrates an inverse relationship between an increase in vegetable oils and fats and cancer rate.

In the process of reducing animal and total fat, you also will reduce another cancer risk-obesity. Obesity increases the risk for cancers of the gallbladder, breast, endometrium, ovary, prostate, and colon.

Where fat appears on your body is also important. To be pear shaped (larger around the hips than around the abdomen) is healthier than to be apple shaped. Being apple shaped increases risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and cancers of the endometrium and breast.

Perhaps, in addition, lowering total caloric intake may reduce cancer risk even further than reducing fat. A 30-percent reduction in calories would decrease breast and endometrial cancer risk by an estimated 90 percent. Animal studies suggest that decreasing your caloric intake by 25 percent would result in a 75 percent reduction in tumors. Reducing calories by 12 percent decreases tumors by 40 percent, but it takes a 75 percent reduction in fat to do the same. A high-fat diet may also be low in fiber. The best way to lower fat and calories in the diet is to consume a high-fiber diet. A diet of high fiber foods would include generous servings of whole grain breads, cereals, and legumes. This is one more good reason to lower total fat to less than 30 percent of calories.

Medifast food also has extra protein, minerals, and vitamins added so that all the nutritional needs your body has while dieting are met. The foods and meals come in a wide range of flavors. Medifast food products cost about $9.6/day ( And cuts your groceries, dining out expenses too). You?ll pay only for your food.

The Medifast products have been clinically proven to not only help people lose weight and also get healthy to help stave off all those nasty cancers.

Do you eat Medifast Scrambled Eggs for breakfast and a salad for lunch, then find yourself eating nonstop from the time you get home until you go to bed?

Or do you eat perfectly all week only to blow it on the weekends with large meals and alcohol?

Try taking a balanced approach to eating all week long, so you don’t feel deprived. Make time for both breakfast and lunch, and be sure to eat all 5 Medifast Meals and your full Lean & Green Meal throughout the day.

If it helps, have a snack of Medifast Soy Crisps on hard days. Don’t reward yourself with food at the end of the week; instead, plan other treats – a new book or CD, a massage, or an outing to a sporting event.

Sometimes the hardest thing about the Medifast Plan is being honest about what you are actually eating. Remember only you know exactly what foods you eat and when. Think about how you can become more honest about your food. Some ideas to begin: write down EVERYTHING you eat and weigh and measure your food to get exact portion sizes. Remember, honesty is the best policy.

Also, if you’ve got high blood pressure, or are African-American or middle-aged, you’ve got to curb your salt intake to keep your health in check. Make sure you get enough potassium (at least 4.7 grams daily), which counteracts salt’s effects and helps lower blood pressure. Eating more fruits (on maintenance) and veggies is an easy way to get more pot assium into your diet. Enhance food’s flavor without salt by using herbs and spices (break out the Mrs. Dash!). When you do use salt, consider opting for mineral-rich sea salt instead of refined salt.

The best way to avoid being tempted by high-calorie treats is not to have them around in the first place. When you’re at the grocery store, skip the chips, candy, sugared sodas, and other junk food. Instead, stock the fridge and pantry with healthy snacks like Medifast Soy Crisps, Medifast Crackers, vegetables, fruit (maintenance), and sugar-free popsicles. And if you’re thinking about your kids – they don’t need the sugary and carb-filled snacks either. Get them used to healthy eating with healthy snacks.

Breakfast is the most important time to eat a good breakfast. For most people, time scarce in the morning.

If so, try some of these speedy but healthy ideas. Just don’t skip breakfast - it really is the most important meal of the day!

• Medifast Scrambled Eggs or Medifast Oatmeal – perfect for breakfast!
• Medifast Ready-To-Drink Shakes: the perfect grab and go breakfast.

For those in the maintenance phase of the Medifast Plan, try these options:

• Fruit, yogurt and granola: If there’s no time to slice up some fresh fruit, put your favorite frozen fruit into a portable cup (with a lid) and add yogurt. Top with granola. Remember to grab a spoon!
• Whole grain English muffin with peanut butter and sliced banana.

INTRODUCTION
Medifast and Take Shape for Life is committed to maximizing health and wellness through it’s provision of soy-based meal replacement weight control programs. In light of recent controversy, including books, slanting soy, Medifast feels it is their duty to provide the latest evidence-based recommendations regarding the use of dietary soy for healthcare providers.

The following document provides a comprehensive summary of the latest scientific information regarding soy and its relationship with all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, cancer, menopause, bone health, and kidney function, as well as addresses any safety concerns regarding soy.

Medifast’s soy-based meal replacements provide a healthy way of achieving the optimal amount of dietary protein crucial for weight loss while still preserving lean muscle mass. In addition to preserving calorie-burning lean muscle tissue, dietary protein stimulates thermogenesis more than carbohydrates or fats and is the most satiating macronutrient. Soy protein is a healthy alternative to animal-based proteins that tend to be high in fat and saturated fat.

Both human and animal studies have demonstrated a favorable effect of soy protein on body weight and fat distribution. In a 12-week study comparing soy protein meal replacements to milk-based protein meal replacements as part of a low energy diet, soy MRs were associated with greater weight loss (Anderson & Hoie, 2005).

Importantly, soy protein has been shown to yield numerous health-related benefits for conditions that overweight individuals
are more likely to suffer from. Soy may protect against a range of conditions including cardiovascular disease to cancer and to reductions in overall mortality.

IMPORTANCE OF (SOY) PROTEIN DURING DIETING
Medifast’s soy-based meal replacements are made from isolated soy protein (Solae Brand™), with its naturally-occuring isoflavones
(genistein, daidzein, and glycitein) working together to yield health benefits. An innovative water-based technique is used to separate carbohydrate and fat from the soy protein while maintaining healthy isoflavones. Other processing methods, like alcohol-extraction methods, remove a substantial amount of isoflavones and its anti-atherogenic properties (Clair & Anthony, 2005).

Soy is a complete protein whose quality is similar to that of meat, milk, and eggs. Using the FDA-recommended method of qualifying
a protein, Protein Efficiency Digestibility-Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS), Medifast’s soy protein (Solae Brand™), has the highest obtainable score (1.0). In addition to high digestibility,
it contains all essential amino acids, including methionine and arginine.

NOT ALL SOY PROTEIN IS CREATED EQUAL
All-Cause Mortality
Japan has the highest life expectancy in the world (Health and Welfare Statistics Association, 1999). Soy is a staple in the Japanese
diet. The Takayama Study prospectively examined the relationship
between soy intake and mortality among over 13,000 Japanese men and 15, 000 Japanese women residents over a 7 year period. They determined that the average total intake of soy per day for men was 102.3g (44.6mg isoflavones) and for women 93.3g (41.4mg isoflavones). (Negata, Takatsuka, Shimizu, 2002).

FINDINGS:
•A significant inverse association between soy intake (and isoflavone
intake) with all-cause mortality for men and women after controlling for age and total energy intake.
•After adjusting for nondietary factors, a decreased risk of death was observed among men (0.83, 95%CI 0.68 to 1.01) and women (0.83, 95%CI 0.68 to 1.02) with the highest compared with the lowest quintile of total soy product intake.

HEALTH BENEFITS
Cardiovascular Disease
Soy’s isoflavones, genistein and diadzein, protect the heart by boosting the activity of LDL receptors that remove ‘bad’ cholesterol
from the bloodstream. Additional ways soy may protect the heart are through its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and potentially
anti-thrombogenic properties (Clair & Anthony, 2005). Randomized controlled trials have also shown that soy decreases homocysteine levels in both men and women (generally post-menopausal)

BOTTOM LINE:

• Medifast meal replacements are made from the highest quality soy protein with the highest levels of naturally-occuring isoflavones.
  
• Soy is inversely associated with all-cause mortality.
  
• Soy protein protects against coronary risk factors and 33 of Medifast’s meal replacements carry the Heart Healthy Claim.
  
• Soy may improve the metabolic abnormalities of metabolic syndrome.
  
• Men who consume soy may have lower rates of prostate cancer.
  
• Soy appears to have a protective effect against premenopausal breast cancer. The verdict is still out among postmenopausal females, or females with a past personal history
  or family history of breast cancer. The verdict is also still out regarding the use of soy and Tamoxifen. Medifast recommends that patients follow the NCI guidelines and the advice of their physician or breast cancer specialist.
  
• Soy appears to protect against cancers of the GI tract and may help eradicate H. Pylori infections.
  
• Soy helps with vasomotor symptoms of menopause
  and positively affects other menopause-related health conditions.
  
• Soy has no adverse effects in euthyroid individuals.
  Individuals with hypothyroidism on synthetic thyroid hormones
  do not need to avoid soy in their diets. General guidelines
  are to consume soy meals three hours before or after taking thyroid hormones; closely monitor labs; and ensure adequate iodine is consumed.
  
• There is evidence to suggest that soy confers a protective effect on bone. The benefits of soy on bone health may be garnered most during peri-menopause or early post-menopause.
  
• Soy does not alter sexual function, behavior, or affect sterility.
  

The amount of oxalate in 5 Medifast meal replacements,
as part of the 5 & 1 diet plan, is well beneath the ADA’s daily cut-off value for calcium oxalate stone-formers.

CONCLUDING REMARKS
For most people, the benefits of incorporating soy protein as part of a healthy diet plan far outweigh the potential (or hypothetical)
risks. This is particularly true for overweight or obese individuals, who are more likely to suffer from a comorbidity that would be responsive to soy. Medifast is a pioneer in recognizing the dual benefit that can be potentially gained by offering the highest quality soy protein, rich in isoflavones, as part of their clinically-tested weight control program.

I just received the Medifast Blender Bottle and it works GREAT! I tried it on my Medifast Eggs instead of using a whisk and all of the Medifast supplements gets blended into the water perfectly.

Then I used the Medifast Blender bottle on a Medifast Antioxidant Shake and it blends it perfectly again. The Medifast Shaker and TSFL Ultimate Shaker leave the Medifast Antioxidant Shake lumpy and the shake tastes awful.

Whether your on the Take Shape for Life 5 & 1 program or on maintenance, you need the Medifast Blender Bottle.

Here are some details about the Medifast Blender Bottle.

The BlenderBottle® stands out not merely as the best mixing and highest quality shaker on the market, it also gets high marks from those who are health and earth conscious:

When it comes to exercise, are you getting too much of a good thing? Take Shape For Life recommends no more than 45 minutes of intense activity while following the 5 & 1 Plan and to build to this level gradually, listening to your body as you increase the time and/or intensity of your workouts.

Here are some of the symptoms of overtraining:

• Your workouts are getting harder, not easier
• You feel more tired during the day
• You have difficulty getting up in the morning, falling asleep at night, or sleeping soundly

If you are, in fact, overtraining, then you’ll feel better – and get better results – if you cut back. Overexercising can depress your immune system and leave you at greater risk of injury.

If you found yourself to be somewhat of a couch potato during the cold, winter months, now is the time to spring into action! Warmer weather is upon us (or at least just around the corner), and now is a great time to get things rolling! Walk or bike outdoors and enjoy the blooming flowers. Grab your rollerblades or tennis rackets. Look into summer programs for the whole family, as these often get booked up quickly.

Watch the Road

Now that spring is finally here, you are probably eager to get outside to walk, bike, and jog. However, be aware of the new potholes and cracks in the roads and sidewalks. The wrong step could leave you with a twisted ankle. It might not hurt to drive your chosen path first to check for potential hazards. You could also choose a path that you know to be safe, such as a dirt t rail or a track.

Spring Clean Your Way to Fitness

Still putting off your spring cleaning? Don’t think of it as a chore—think of it as a great workout! Here is an example of approximately what a 150 pound individual may burn in one hour of cleaning:

• Light cleaning (dust, vacuum, change linen): 170
• Mowing the lawn (power mower): 307
• Heavy cleaning (wash windows, wash car, mop, clean garage): 307
• Home repair (painting, papering, laying carpet or linoleum): 307
• Moving furniture: 409

Workouts-Part of Your Daily Routine

Trying to squeeze a workout into your day unsuccessfully? Instead, physically schedule an “exercise appointment” into your daily routine. This will help you keep to your agenda and activities on track.

Cook Lightly

Looking for an easy way to add flavor to meals without a lot of calories? Try cooking with low-sodium broths (such as vegetable, beef or chicken) instead of higher calorie alternatives. You may be surprised to find that just a small amount of bouillon can be used to stir-fry vegetables or tofu or simmer meats.

To stir-fry with bouillon simply place a pan with a small amount of bouillon over high heat. When the broth is warm add your vegetables or tofu and continue to stir veggies until they are cooked al dente (crisp to the taste). To simmer meats, simply turn heat down to medium and allow to simmer, watching to ensure the pot does not accidentally boil over.

Momentum by Medifast energizes both you and your Medifast Plan. Enjoying three Momentum products a day in any combination helps you burn calories more efficiently, so its easier to break through a weight loss plateau, and maintain your new, healthier weight.

Momentum by Medifast gives you.

• 100 mg of caffeine and 90 mg of potent green tea antioxidant EGCG in each serving to cut hunger and boost metabolism
• Two formulas:
• Momentum Meals
• Momentum Flavor Enhancers that you add to water
• Great flavors
• Portable packaging so you can take it anywhere.

How Does it Work?

Each Momentum by Medifast product contains 100 mg of Caffeine and 90 mg of EGCG. The combination of Caffeine and EGCG found in three (3) Momentum products has been clinically shown to have the maximum effect on inducing thermogenesis. Think of thermogenesis as the metabolism “turning up the heat” to burn extra calories.

Medifast Meals Offered in 3 Flavors:

Banana Crème Shake
Cappuccino
Chai Latte

Offered in 3 Flavors:

Green Tea Lemon
Strawberry Lemonade
Mixed Berry

Each box contains 21 Flavor Infusers

Offered in 3 Flavors:
Banana Crème Shake
Cappuccino
Chai Latte
Each box contains 7 Meals

Facts:

• Contains 100 mg of calorie burning Caffeine
• Contains 90 mg of Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a potent antioxidant found in Green Tea
• Enhances fat burning by boosting metabolism and decreasing appetite
• Specially designed to help break through a weight loss plateau and assist with weight maintenance

Clinically Proven:

A clinical study found that for 2 hours after consuming a Momentum product, energy expenditure was increased 24%.

Study participants burned an extra 60–100 calories per day (on average) after consuming three (3) Momentum products.

Momentum is not a replacement for exercise and is not just a weight loss product. The increase in calories burned by consuming three (3) Momentum products is equivalent to:

• Gardening for 15 minutes
• Running 3/4 mile in 10 minutes
• Walking 3.5 mph for 15 minutes

Use During Weight Loss Phase:

Momentum is a great tool for clients still in the Weight Loss phase. During this phase:

• Momentum can help the client over a weight loss plateau.
• Momentum can keep the client motivated and on the program longer.

Weight Maintenance Phase:

Momentum is ideal for clients in the Transition or Weight Maintenance phase. During these phases:

• Client has a higher calorie intake and may be less sensitive to caffeine.
• Caffeine is no longer restricted to three (3) servings, so clients can consume three (3) Momentum products plus additional caffeinated beverages.
• Momentum provides a boost to metabolism, which can promote successful long-term weight maintenance.

Recommended Usage:

Up to three (3) Momentum products may be used daily.

• Any three (3) Meals daily as part of the Maintenance Phase, 5 & 1 Plan or specialized plans (Diabetes, Seniors, etc.); OR
• Any three (3) Flavor Infusers with daily water intake; OR
• Mix and Match (2 Momentum Meals and 1 Flavor Infuser or 1 Momentum Meal and 2 Flavor Infusers) for a total of three (3) Momentum products daily.

I encourage you to  incorporate these great-tasting, calorie burning products into your healthy lifestyles.

How to Mix Flavor Infusers:

Each individually packaged Flavor Infuser should be mixed with 16 oz of water for the optimal taste experience. If you want a more intense flavor, you can add a Flavor Infuser to 8 oz of water instead.
I encourage you to add Flavor Infusers to your Medifast Programs. Three (3) servings will flavor about 48 oz of water each day!

Please Note:

100 mg of caffeine is equivalent to 1 cup of coffee. Consult with
your physician before using this product. (This product may not be appropriate if you are sensitive to caffeine, advised by your doctor to limit caffeine, under the age of 18 or pregnant or nursing.)

Recommended usage: Up to three (3) Momentum products daily (any combination of Meals and/or Flavor Infusers.)

Consuming more than three (3) Momentum products daily will not have an additional effect on metabolism.
