This is a program that helps people regain optimal health by losing weight fast by using Medifast foods. We then teach you how to keep the weight off over time by developing Habits of Health and a BeSlim lifestyle. I think it would be perfect for you. Weight loss often improves/controls diabetes (many people come off medication), arthritis and hypertension. Dr. Corliss, associated with TSFL says that “obesity is the mother and father of many diseases”. I believe that using Medifast products would help you and that losing weight would be very big component of taking control of your health.Everything a person needs to get healthy and stay healthy is already known and available with Take Shape for Life! Why? Because our program offers so much more than simply weight loss! It is one of the few programs that gives you a free health coach.
