I do drink whey protein twice a day and take synthroid because of a TT. I was recommended whey protein by my endo, who has a thyroid problem himself (an uncommon occurrence to find an endo who has thyroid issues). I have had no problems taking whey protein which I drink as a shake.

I have started training for gaining muscles, but i am not sure if i should be using whey protein as i heard that if i stop working out later at some point in time, I will start putting on weight!!! Is this a side effect of taking whey protein and discontinuing its use??? Moreover, does intake of whey protein interfere with the blood tests done to check the thyroid profile? answers to these questions will be a great favor and highly appreciated.

I just want to know exactly how it helps, you know with exactly what. Also is that like a weight, and muscle gain shake? If it will help put weight on, that is fine with me. I could use a couple pounds. (smile). Im good with my size, but I can handle a couple pounds, my main concern is will this help with my energy at all? I do have some ensure, its the kind to help maintain weight though. Which is best to help with the healing of my body, and the energy I need to get?

Protein protein protein. AND fibre! Fill up on big time with fibre and protein and you shouldn't feel so hungry. I have Hashi as you know, and appetite is a big issue for most of us. Knowing how to satisfy that tummy and the brain the key to keeping the weight off. Look up on google for foods high in fibre, and use some of them as snacks rather than the eggs all the time. Some protein in them but not enough.

His weight is below the 3rd percentile for his age. Suggest giving him the protein shakes you are making 2-3 times a day and continue with them. It can be frustrating with 'Picky' eaters but there is no rhythm or reason why they eat or don't eat. The most important aspect is to RELAX at meals and let him eat what he wants. If you try to introduce new foods, sometimes it takes 5-9 times to introduce a food that he will accept. If he do not want it you have to not make a fuss and let it go.

This is kinda unhealthy when abused but it can work great when demanding your body extra energy like when you exercise. High fructose/high calories is very likely to make you gain weight.

Weight gain is as difficult as losing it, if you are naturally thin. Gaining weight is a problem for many people. They complain that they can't put on any weight. Following are some tips to follow to gain weight. You will take some time to gain the weight you need, but be patient. 1. Consume more calories than you burn. Choose healthy foods to add calories. Drink healthy beverages to add calories. 2.

I am restricted to a gluten free, dairy free, sugar free diet so gaining weight is not easy for me. I buy a protein bar that is safe for me by the case from Whole Foods but I can't survive just on protein bars. They are 240 calories per bar so they help quite a bit. I even tried Carnation VHC (very high calorie) drinks which come in a can and you can only order them on line but they were awful and they have since discontinued them. The other difficulty is that I have NO appetite whatsoever.

muscle is very heavy compared to fat, so you may even gain weight once you start doing the weights - I'm 5kg heavier than I was before I started doing weights, but my measurements are several inches smaller and my body fat has dropped by 7%. In terms of diet, forget calories - calorie-counting is only helpful to a point. What you need to focus on to gain muscle and burn fat is getting LOADS of good-quality protein - so lots of lean meat, fish and eggs - and vegetables.

my 15 mo old son is not gaining enough weight. he was 7lbs10oz at birth and is only 19lbs now. he cannot have any dairy. he is deathly allergic to it. so no milk, yogurt, anything with whey, casein, cheese.... i was already at a loss as what to feed him (he gets lots of veggies, fruits and meat. some rice and noodles) but he doesn't like potatoes and i don't know how to sneak the calories in that he needs. he drinks soy milk now. any suggestions?

my midwife recommends protein shakes (whether made yourself or purchased) getting 100g of protein per day is important to your baby's health, helps with fluid retention later in pregnancy, etc i generally make my own using a whey protein powder, forzen bananas, flax seed oil and yogurt, but certainly have used powdered shake mixes as well. soy is controversial due to the high amount of estrogens in it, especially if you are carrying a boy.

make sure your Thyroid is checked periodically durring blood tests...Hypothyroid can make you gain weight and hyper loose weight...you may already know this....but i thought i'd offer it as a suggestion, to make sure the gainning of weight isn't a sign of thyroid trouble starting...hope not...another liver related issue with weight gain is edema or aeseties, but these come when the liver is in bad shape...these are signs of cirhosis beginning...

It is very important that you take the suggested amount on the back of the bag (4oz of liquid with 2 tablespoons of Napolina) ALSO*** Drink plenty of WATER*** to stay hydrated. **Napolina makes you loose fluid weight in your body, so u have to make sure you replace it! You WILL see a difference of 10lbs after a couple of weeks... BUT Napolina isnt meant to take for an entire month. Take it for 2 weeks ONCE A MONTH.

you are doing everything right the reason why you are not losing any weight is b/c muscle does weight more than fat. if you want to start seeing the scale more then do more cardio less weights and only workout 5 days a week and have 2 days of rest.

Also look into supplementing with UNDENATURED whey protein powder. Make sure of the type, otherwise it won't work! Mix it in smoothies or juice or yogurt but NO BLENDER-NO HEAT. It is very specific. 20gramsx3 daily It keeps the JNK gene dormant, as it increases your Glutathione production When the JNK gene is active, disease and weight (fat,not muscle) gain occur. Avoid extremes and remember "Easy does it". Wishing you good success!

Try eating "six small meals" instead of trying for the three-square. Sometimes a piece of fruit, a ginger snap (great for stomach rumbles), ice cream will go down... Substitute juices for some of the water to get some calories and nutrients... Keep doing some sort of excercise, at least walking, to try to keep the mucsle mass. Drink Ensure. Eat what you can tolerate, and if you're losing weight & very tired, make sure you're not losing...blood! Ie - are your blood counts ok?

Do you have any hyper symptoms? BTW, some people gain weight hypo or hyper, some lose hypo or hyper and some actually behave the way it's supposed to work. " I am at 1500 calories now with an rmr of 1850..." What jumps out at me here is that you said you've slowly increased calories. You're not nearly to 1850, yet you're gaining weight. Perhaps the RMR lies??? I've heard it's very subjective and has much to do with the skill of the person administering.

You are very welcome. The drink is a WHEY protein powder that I got at Walmart or anywhere else you might shop like that. It has a measure scoop One scoop to 1 cup water, blend while blending add a dash of jello... VOILA!! Yes it is filling...hope this works.

what happens when you get into the normal weight range again? does the doctor take you off of the meds or can you lose a little more weight as long as you stay in the normal range?

So say you were taking in an extra 400 cal/day for a week. At the end of the week you would have gained almost an enitre pound instead of losing (since 1 lb of fat = 3500 cal). The 15--20% margin of error can go the opposite direction as well, and then you would be eating less than your RMR. Anyway, just a heads up. You will be able to guess and check depending on what your body tells you subjectively/objectively.

I'm having a difficult time eating and have lost seven pounds in less than two weeks. I know I need so many grams of protein everyday but don't think I'm getting it. Does anyone have any suggestions for protein drinks that taste good : ) ? I don't know anything about powdered protein and what brand is good, so any help would be appreciated. I eat Kashie (didn't spell that correctly, I'm sure) cereal with protein and fiber usually with fruit.

laxatives cause everything in your body to just run through you, which will make you dehydrated which can make you very sick! your body wont process any nutrients from what you eat, you will feel crappier than you do, and youll be on the toilet all day. you should only take laxatives if youre constipated. theres lots of meal plans online for detoxing your body. all follow the same guidelines- healthy, all natural products.

Unless you have a medical problem, you gain weight when you eat much more calories than you are burning. Is she involved in any sports? Can she play soccer or join a swim team? (hockey, basketball, etc). If you got her a dog would she walk it? I would approach the subject very gently. Tell her you love her and that you will help her. She doesn't need to feel bad about herself, everything will be ok!

You can't have the same sort of goals that you would have if you weren't on treatment. But it will make you feel better and it's a good way to combat weight loss. i know it might seem impossible. Maybe it is. But for me, no matter how bad I feel, I drag myself to the gym because I've learned that a light work out is just about the only thing that will make me feel better. Good luck!

But I did tell my Dad tonight, whom is a huge part of my life. I feel a lot better! I don't work out, thank you tho, I'd like to if I could gain weight in return! Lol. I'm about 100 lbs. Been struggling to gain weight for about 7 yrs. Even thro 4 kids! Its the pits! Thank you so much for your responses. Just to talk to ppl is sooo therapeutic...

I use whey protein powder for my protein boost, I think it is easier to digest. No jokes from me now, feeling tired.

If you are working out a lot you may gain some weight by building muscles. But muscles take up less room then fat so your measurements will get smaller. You really need to make sure your eating enough and getting enough protein b/c you are working out a lot. You will really screw up metabolism and muscle tone if you don't eat enough. When cutting calories sometimes you cut protein too. Whey protein shakes made w/ skim or 1% milk is good for a dieter and someone working out a lot too.

Second, the reason you aren't gaining weight is because your intestines aren't absorbing nutrients because they are scarred up from inflammation. Before you start gaining weight, you have to heal your intestines. You need to stop eating what is causing the inflammation. Start taking herbs to reduce inflammation. Cat's Claw is a great herb that has helped me immensely. When you eat, make sure to chew your food as your body is better able to absorb nutrients when it is broken down.

Whip it up in a blender and you have a drink packed with protein and calories. I suggest you get him engaged in helping you in the kitchen with cooking foods and setting the table. Make it fun cutting up vegetables and smelling the cooking of food may get him to try new foods. Main point is to relax. It is important that mealtime does not become a battlefield of the wits. You need to enjoy your meals as much as he does.

As for your whey protein you should only use whey protein concentrates!!
