My doctor wanted me to lose 10 pounds in 7 days by having 4 MediFast drinks a day and one Lean Cuisine or equivalent. By day 5 I was in a panic because it didn't look like I was going to make the goal -- I was several pounds away from it and wasn't even losing anything on some days. Then I switched from four to three MediFast a day, and I switched from the Lean Cuisines to a very low-carb dinner for the remaining 2 days. I not only made my goal, I ended up losing 12 pounds instead of 10. Low carb saved my surgery date (my doctor is famous for postponing surgery if you don't lose the weight he asks you to lose)!
