From time to time we look at other programs, competitors, etc. to insure we are bringing you the best value for your money. We recently evaluated Medifast and boy did it open our eyes. In the course of this evaluation we spoke to a Medifast client and also did a bit of research on their website http://www.medifast1.com/. Now before some of you loyal Medifast clients get all huffy please understand this is an evaluation and not a criticism of Medifast and their program. The Medifast program works and they have been very successful with it. That said, we would like to call your attention to some differences between these two very successful programs. On our website http://www.myhealthmanagement.com/ you have the ability to self-select a 3 week, 6 week, 9 week or 12 week a la carte program at a highly discounted and fixed price. With Medifast if you buy their pre-packaged 30 day program they select what you will receive in the package. Our program provides 6 meals a day theirs provides only 5. (Do the math, over a 30 day period of time this turns out to be real money.) Their weekly cost is $68.75, ours is $ 64.21 and this is just for a short period of time. Ordering a 6,9, or 12 week program from us will get you much deeper discounts than $4.00 and change per week. Now let's talk freight: Medifast will only charge you half the shipping cost for an order over $ 275.00. We pay 100% shipping for all our meal plans to anywhere in the Continental United States. I spoke with a Medifast client that lives in Pennsylvania and this client told me an order placed to Medifast's shipping point in suburban Baltimore will get there by Friday of the same week. We ship within 24 hours of receipt of order and from where we are in Atlanta, Georgia it usually arrives in 2 days to our Pennsylvania clients. Let's look at another difference, if you do not want to buy the pre-packaged 30 meal plan and choose to select an a la carte then be prepared to give Medifast about a 10% premium (penalty) for that order. If you are just starting on your diet and you have questions then call Medifast and stand in line for them to answer your questions. With us you can call us at 678-398-0330 or call me on my cell at 404-931-7838 for any questions you may have. Think about it and review what has been written above and decide where you want to place your hard earned dollars.

A few days ago I told you a little bit about these very nice, funny and committed folks who operate BariatricTV.com Mike Towe, the producer, camera man and all around good guy contacted me and asked if I would be interested in having some of our products reviewed on the air. However, the strict stipulation was that the products reviewed would be spontaneously chosen, they would not be pre-reviewed and this was a bit of a crap shoot if his reviewers did not like the product they would tell it like it is. Since Jan and I review each and every product before adding it to our website this did not seem much of a challenge to us as we have a great deal of confidence in our products. I packed a "goody box" and sent it off to Mike for the show. If you are interested in the results then you need to go to
BariatricTV.com and check out episode # 58 where Toni is a blond and she and Lynnda have some really nice things (raves) to say about several of our products.

After going to the website and if you like it's contents and information quality why not drop Mike a line at mike@bariatrictv.com and tell him what you think.

We finally did it! My Daughter Lisa has been encouraging (pestering) Jan and me to provide self designed meal plans where the client can select the product they want and like rather than what the other website operators put into a specific meal plan. We now have 3, 6, 9 and 12 week meal plans on our Health Management and Nutrition website www.myhealthmanagement.com at discounted prices. So if you have made a new years resolution to eat better, take off a little weight and improve your quality of life then check out our meal plans. Design your own meal plan whether you are a "cruncher" or a "sipper" and get the items you enjoy. In the past when you have bought a meal plan from another website you find yourself finding a box of shakes or a box of bars in your cupboard that are left because you are not particularly fond of the item. That is wasted money and we are totally committed to giving you value for your hard earned dollar.

So what are you waiting for?

Go to www.myhealthmanagement.com design your own personal plan and save some moolah in the process.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call on Jan or me to give you a hand navigating the new plans.

Also, we would like to get feedback from you as to what you think of this service.
