Researchers from Johns Hopkins
Bloomberg School of Public Health released the results of an 86 week diabetic
weight loss study that found participants using Medifast’s portion-controlled,
meal replacement program lost twice as much weight and were twice as likely to
complete the study as participants following a standard food diet based on the
dietary guidelines of the American Diabetes Association (ADA). Additionally, in
the first 34 weeks of the study, 24 percent of the Medifast users decreased or
eliminated their diabetes medication, compared to 0 percent on the standard food
diet.
The researchers randomized two groups of Type II
diabetic volunteers. One group was given the Medifast Plus for Diabetics
defined-formula meal replacement diet of soups, oatmeal, bars and a variety of
shakes. The other group was asked to follow a diet based on ADA nutrition
guidelines, shop for their own food and manage their own portions, but had the
same guidance from the doctors, counselors and dietitians in the study as the
Medifast group.
“There is no room for miscalculating portions when
using portion-controlled foods, which might explain in part why participants on
Medifast achieved superior weight loss results and demonstrated significantly
better completion rates,” added Dr. Cheskin. “In addition, meal replacements are
easy to follow and require less effort, which is why they can be an effective
weight loss option for many people in serious need of losing weight.”
“I have been a diabetic for about
five or six years. As of today I am completely off all my sugar and cholesterol
medications and my blood pressure is normal. My total weight loss on this
program has been 50 pounds. I’ll tell you; this has made the difference to me in
life and death. I truly believe Medifast has been a miracle in my life,” says
Josephine Shaw, a diabetic patient.
A crucial finding was a significant drop in diabetes
medication intake for the Medifast group. After the 34-week weight loss phase,
24 percent of the Medifast participants either decreased or eliminated their
diabetes medication. None of the participants on the standard food diet could
say the same.
“In my twenty years as a critical care physician
using surgery and medicines, I have never experienced the amazing improvement in
disease that I have in the two years we have been focused on nutritional
intervention as the first line defense against disease,” says Dr. Andersen.
“Within 4 to 16 weeks our patients are coming off their cholesterol and diabetic
medication and showing dramatic improvements in the symptoms of several other
conditions.”
