Avatar f tn My midwife actually suggested them because they are healthy! You jus have to be careful that you are not making detox smoothies because that can be dangerous for your little one! They're are so many types that you can make frm fruity to savory! Great way to eat veggies, fruit and even black beans!
Avatar f tn They encourage you to eat several times a day and not just 1 or 2 big meals, etc. The shakes/bars are enriched with vitamins/minerals, and I am sure there are even more pluses. But you could try to do all of those things without the need to buy their products. I do eat foods high in fiber to help with appetite, but for me it works much better to NOT get my fiber from really sweet foods! So like Peek says, I gave up on the shakes and bars.
655875 tn?1295695107 Slim Fast was getting difficult to stay on track. I found myself cheating on the diet. My friend told me about the protien shake that Dr. Oz uses. There are a few recipes on his website. Right now I am using the Ultimate Breakfast Smoothie. It tastes awesome and it actually keeps me full for over 6 hours. I have zero cravings for food and sweets. I've cut back my dinner portion.
193609 tn?1292180293 I keep some Slim Fast shakes (or sometimes a store brand) in the fridge for those times when I don't have time for breakfast or just something quick. They come in several flavors and served ice cold, they are quite tasty.

Avatar f tn Welcome to the community. Try walking at a reasonable pace. Also look into yoga as it's low impact and done at a slow very deliberate pace. Be sure to watch what you eat as well - might also help the e-coli infection.
1707055 tn?1316144521 First off, there is no healthy way to drop pounds fast. When you lose weight, you want to do it slowly in order to keep the pounds off and have the weight loss last. Second, according to your weight tracker status on your profile, you are already in a healthy weight range, so why are you trying to lose more weight? It's not healthy to go below a certain weight and your body needs many nutrients, especially as a growing teen.
Avatar m tn Hmmm...."Shakes". Are you describing fast large muscle spasms or are you describing tremors?? Baclofen would not be an appropriate med for termors or trembling. Muscle spasms are usually sustained - and often painful - contractions of large muscles and muscle groups. I agree that any med that makes things worse should be stopped. Here is a site where you can read about tremors wemove.
Avatar f tn you dont say if you are taking any Meds as you could get side effects ,Perhaps you are still getting over ,a virus and its just a matter of more time to feel better.Could also be low bloos sugar, if it continues perhaps a visit to the Doctor would be a good thing.
Avatar f tn Any help from any of you would be great! Thank you ladies...I hope you are all enjoying happy and healthy pregnancies!
Avatar m tn I'm 24, 5'7", 204 lbs currently. I recently (since March) have lost 20 lbs through diet and exercise but it seems like I'm at a stand still, and in the last week I have actually gained a pound and a half even though my diet and exercise regimen has not changed.
1161604 tn?1388875598 Don't forget to eat lunch. If you skip meals you'll actually slow your metabolism even more than it already is in pregnancy causing you to gain even more weight. Eat something every two hours (not like gorging) like a handful of almonds (for protein). It'll keep your metabolism going. And maybe take some probiotics to keep your gut clean. My midwife told me to take probiotics daily and Papaya Enzymes at every meal.
Avatar f tn may I ask what is her weight , and were you a slim child ?
Avatar f tn Thank you for reposting that great blog article "Why You Should do a Detox and 10 Things to Look For in Your Detox Program." Kaeng Raeng certainly appreciates it!

Avatar m tn Thanks for your reply. I went to see my doctor the other week & he referred me to the hospital. The hospital doctor looked at my breathing & stuck a camera up my nose (nice!) but couldn't find anything seriously wrong however he gave me a nasal spray to help clear my nose - made no difference. I'm just going to try eating a Mars bar before exercise & see if that helps.
Avatar n tn I would recommend that you keep very good records for a while -- was you eat when, how you are feeling, what your blood sugar is at those times, exercise & general health patterns. WRite those things down in an easy to read/refer to format and bring them to your doc. If your current doc has run out of ideas or "dismisses" your concerns, it may be time to find another doc with whom you can work effectively. Hope this is of some help. Good luck to you.
Avatar f tn Aw, I'm so sorry you're feeling this way. I, too, have chronic pain and have had it for over 20 years. I won't lie to you and say it'll get any better, unless you're on some awesome pain meds, of course, or you get that miracle blessing of it totally disappearing!
