One major difference between Medifast and these other diet programs is that Medifast has always required participants to prepare or purchase one meal per day that meets specific amounts of lean protein, veggies and fats.
Though the five replacement meals are no-brainers, you actually have to think about and plan your Lean & Green. For me, learning to create the L&G meals was a helpful tool in creating new habits I still maintain.
Medifast is promoting the Flavors of Home meals -- Turkey Meatball Marinara, Chicken with Rice & Vegetables and Chicken Cacciatore -- as occasional back-ups for those busy days when it might be otherwise difficult to comply with the plan. And I'm totally cool with that.
My concern is that some people may rely too heavily on the pre-packaged meals and never learn how to construct the Lean & Green meal on their own.

As with most things, the bottom line is moderation. You can drink a glass of wine without becoming a wino on Skid Row. If you're new to Medifast, consider using the Flavors of Home meals as infrequent emergency meals and allow yourself to develop the skills and habits you'll need to be a life-long loser.
You can purchase Medifast replacement meals directly from Medifast Centers, the Medifast website or -- for less cost -- through the co-branded website of a Medifast TSFL health coach. Medifast does not recommend purchasing its products from third party vendors, but if you choose to do so, you can find them on both Amazon and eBay.
