Also, please take advantage of the support calls made available by the company…  Another resource provide to help support you!:

• Nurse's Support Call: Monday evenings at 8:30-9:00 EST. (646) 519-5860 pin 0971#.  This is an interactive question/answer call mixed with guest speakers and helpful information (TSFL nurse host). Recorded call back #: (212) 461-8672 to listen when convenient.
• Doctor's Support Call: Wednesday evenings at 8:30-9:00 EST. (646) 519-5860 pin 0971#. This is an interactive question/answer call with educational/health related information (TSFL physician host) Recorded call back #: (212) 461-8671.

Remember that the plan is structured to keep you under a certain amount of calories per day and may be a bit of a struggle the first 3 days.  If you feel tired, headachy, irritable or hungry, eat every 2 hours instead of every 2 ½ to 3.  Even if you have 6 or 7 Medifast meals plus your "Lean & Green" meal, you'll still be within the parameters of losing weight.  Then, on day 4, you'll be into the "fat-burning state".  You'll be feeling better and will be able to return to the recommended "5 & 1" plan.

Regarding your "account" information…  Remember your user name and your password which should've come to you in an email.  Please write it down because you will need to remember it.  As a member of the BeSlim Club & Rewards Program, you will receive monthly shipments of products so that you don't have to remember to re-order!

Watch for an email from TSFL 3 weeks after your order was placed.  They will ask you if you want the same products for your next month on the program OR if you want to "customize" your order.  You then have 4 days to respond to that email by either calling/emailing me or contacting the Client Support Center at: 1 (800) 572-4417.

If you wish to customize your next order, either call me or call the Client Support Center and they'll help you customize an order.  20 boxes = 1 month of products… pick your favorites! If you do not respond to that email or call me, you will receive the Variety Pack again for your next monthly supply.

With regard to the meal replacements, you will like some things and tolerate others. Remember, the "5 & 1" program is just a "tool" to get you to a healthy weight QUICKLY AND SAFELY!!   So just hang in there with me and we'll get there as soon as we can!  You will not be eating 5 meal replacements a day for the rest of your life!!  I promise!  Remember to use "Rita's Helpful Hints" to optimize the taste/flavor of the foods.  The details regarding the exchange policy are in the QUICK START GUIDE.  Then, on your next order we can customize it to your liking.   Once you get to your goal weight you may want to use the Medifast products only 50% of the time and eat your own meals the other 50%.  This is what I do now.  I use the meal replacements as healthy snacks between breakfast, lunch and dinner to stabilize my blood sugar and keep me from overeating!

Now, before you get started on the program, weigh yourself and take a "before" picture. When you get down to a healthy weight, take an "after" picture.  It's always inspiring to see the changes and it's great motivation to maintain your new healthy weight!

Lastly, as you begin to lose weight, people will be noticing.  When they ask you about your program, please tell them you are working with us and give them the office contact information. They will be sure to have someone with whom they can rely on for coaching and support.  We will give you $20 credit towards your next order for each person you send their way!

About 25% of the clients that achieve success on the program are so excited about their results that they decide to join us and help bring hope to others!  Helping us on our mission to Get America Healthy!   And who better to coach someone to better health than someone who has, "been there, done that!"  In fact, supporting just 5 people per month will pay for your monthly food bill and increase the likelihood of you keeping the weight off for good

We'll help you every step of the way!  We'll take it one day at a time!  In just a couple of  months you'll be AMAZED at how good you feel and look!  We will do this TOGETHER!  You are going to do great!

Yours in Great Health!

Dear  ,
It was a pleasure speaking with you today. Thank you for your interest in learning how you can take control of your health. This email will provide you with some follow-up information and an overview of our products and programs. Once you’ve had a chance to review the information, please feel free to give me a call or email me with a telephone number and a good time to call you.

Background information on Take Shape for Life and Medifast

As I a mentioned to you, I am a Health Advisor with a wholly owned subsidiary of Medifast called Take Shape for Life. Medifast is a 25-year-old company listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: MED) and has the reputation of being one of the premier nutritional solution for health and weight management in America. Medifast produces safe and effective, nutritionally balanced soy-based meal replacement supplements for weight and disease management. Our products are designed to help people safely and rapidly reach their ideal weight and then maintain that weight for life. These products are produced in an FDA approved state-of-the-art manufacturing facility and have been recommended by over 15,000 physicians and successfully utilized by over 1,000,000 people.

Until recently, if someone wanted to utilize these programs and products, he or she could only get them through physicians. But, with the advent of Take Shape for Life, people now have an opportunity to work with qualified Health Advisors who – for no additional cost – coach clients through their initial weight-loss phase and then teach them the BeSlim™ philosophy of permanent weight-control so that they can maintain their ideal weight for life.

Some facts about the Take Shape for Life solution and why it works:

1. Medifast is the product and Take Shape for Life is the program. 
2. The company is physician led and the program and products were developed under medical protocols. 
3. Our program is both safe and proven, with clinical studies done at a major research university and at the NIH (National Institutes of Health).
4. The products consist primarily of heart-healthy soy-based meal replacements and do not contain harmful herbs or stimulants. 
5. We are NOT a diet. Diets do not work. We offer a program to safely and rapidly help people lose weight and then teach them how to keep it off for life. 
6. On our program, people eat 5 Medifast Meals per day – consisting of shakes, soups, oatmeal, chili, bars, etc. and one “Lean & Green” meal consisting of lean protein (chicken, fish, lean beef) and a salad or green vegetable. 
7. The program is easy to follow. You will not be hungry and you can expect to lose 2 to 5 pounds a week. 
8. The cost for each meal is typically less than $2 (or under $10/day). However, since you will be letting me be your grocer while you are on the program, the money you spend is literally cost neutral because you will not be eating other food.

You mentioned you want to lose weight. I can help coach you through that process. I have included a video that explains the program that I fell you should watch. You can also get more information by going to my website:
www.goldsmiddletown.tsfl.com.

If you go online, don’t order just yet. Instead, touch base with me and I can give you some additional discounts on your first order.

Lastly, to understand my role as your Health Advisor, please take 2 minutes to listen to Dr. Wayne Andersen, Co-founder and Medical Director of Take Shape for Life. Please call 866-200-6719.

I look forward to talking with you again and – if this looks like the program for you – I’ll look forward getting you started and helping you optimize your health by reaching your goal weight.

In Health,

Congrats! You did it! You're on day 4 and you should be in the fat burning state. If so, you should also be feeling great. You also shouldn't be hungry. (If you are then you need to call me ASAP.)

Make sure you continue to consume all 6 meals.

Continue to eat every 2.5 – 3 hours.

From this point on I will be checking in with you 1x/ week, but I am always available either by phone or email should you have any questions or concerns. Do not hesitate to give me a call.

Please call me or email me when you weigh in for your first week. I am anxiously waiting to hear how you did.

I have a favor to ask you. If you know of anyone that is looking to get healthy would you kindly give them my contact information so that I can help them to start on their journey as well?

You are going to do great!

Hope all is well. You're on your third day!

This was the toughest day for me. Remember to have another shake if you're hungry.

You are probably almost into the Fat Burning State. When you are no longer hungry and have high energy then you are there.

Wanted to let you know about some support calls should you need them in the future. These are another source of information for you to get any medical questions answered.

Did you register for Support in Motion?

www.tsflsupportinmotion.com

I will touch base with you tomorrow when you should be well on your way to feeling great and in the fat burning state. Keep up the great job!

Congratulations you're on your second day.

Did you get all your meals in?

All your water?

Your body is continuing to deplete its sugar supply which usually takes about 3-4 days. That's why you might be experiencing some irritability, hunger, or have some headaches.

Stay strong if you're experiencing any of this. It will pass.

By day 4 it will be like a switch is flipped and you'll be feeling great.

Again please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns.

I will check in again tomorrow. Keep up the great work!

Do you set the alarm half an hour earlier in the morning to get up and walk, but end up hitting the snooze button? Or do you promise yourself that you will hit the gym in the evening but find that you’re so tired after work that you put it off until tomorrow? If so, try this one trick – put on your socks and exercise shoes and then see how you feel. Just getting ready can motivate you and it’s guaranteed you’ll feel better when you’re ready to take them off again.

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.

The U.S. dietary guidelines recommend 60 to 90 minutes of moderate activity on “most days” of the week for individuals trying to lose weight. Cross-training and interval training can help you beat boredom and continue increasing your speed and stamina. Try to include at least two different aerobic activities in your routine. Keep challenging yourself to achieve new personal bests in speed, distance, and strength.
