What Is Momentum by Medifast?

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 Momentum

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.

Why Soy In Medifast Products Is So Good For You?

Many of the health benefits derived from soy foods are because of its isoflavones. Soy isoflavones are estrogen-like compounds isolated from soybeans.

Medifast products use a high quality soy protein isolate that is water washed (rather than alcohol washed) to keep these naturally-occurring isoflavones.

Many researchers believe that soy may decrease the risk of certain types of cancer, lower cholesterol and support good bone health.

Be adventurous and use tofu, Boca burgers, Morningstar Farm or Garden burgers for the “lean” portion of your Lean and Green meal; check out the Medifast Meatless Meal options list for portion size recommendations and enjoy!
