high protein weight loss shakes

s the medication making you not eat. You should eat foods high in protein. I would not go the protein shake route. Have you tried drinking boost or ensure shakes after eating your meals? These will help give you the vitamins and protein you need and they are not the texture of protein shakes.

What mzkity suggested was the main thing that kept me on my first treatment as I was also losing to much weight... I felt like a kid in a candy shop after my doctor recommended shakes with protein powder... Hang in there.

In the first and most of second trimester I lost 30 pounds. Now at 24 weeks I'm able to eat a lot and keep it in. Yay I know. But I am still losing weight! No matter what I eat or drink I cannot gain weight. I weigh all of 102 pounds and look like I'm not even pregnant. Anyone else have this problem?? Any tips? Maybe there's some I have not tried. I've tried ensure, protein shakes, protein powder, weight gaining shakes, I'm on bedrest so I can't exercise at all.

If this is not the case, the protein meal shakes may have something to do with your weight gain. Protein shakes are actually not good for weight loss and are used primarily to gain body mass which may then be converted into muscle. Also certain brands of protein shakes actually have a high level of carbohydrates in them which could result in your weight gain.

Actually, the shake is neutral on both aspects. The totality of the diet determines the usefulness of the shake, though obviously some shakes are much more healthful than others.

I'm on week 31 of tx. The HepC is no longer active and I only have 17 weeks remaining on the program. The results are very positive. However, I still suffer from all the major side effects and had to go on leave to try and just focus on my health. The most important one to me has been my weight loss. Since the beginning, 03/09, I've lost 60 lbs and am still loosing. My appetite has been little to none, but I am attempting to change that.

What should I eat for breakfast that is low carb but high protein, for weight loss

hi I recently went to my doctor for losing weight from the depo shot and they suggested I try taking ensure protein shakes I would love to try them but I don't know if im gonna like it and if its really gonna work did anybody try ensure protein shakes and if they did let me know if it works and if it taste good

That's an awful lot of protein... my doctor has me on a high protein diet, 108 grams/day and most days I can't make that, even with a couple of shakes. Are shakes and water all you plan to consume? If so, that's not good or sustainable. In addition, weight lost too and not in a healthy manner will most likely be regained as soon as you start eating normally again, even if maintaining a healthy diet.

I am a 16 year old girl. I am 5'4" and weigh only 93 lbs. I do not have any eating disorders and see my doctor regularly (today in fact). He cant figure out what's going on with me either. I weighed my heaviest 3 months ago, 103 lbs and lost it. I am also experiencing hair loss, dizziness, and fatigue. I drink protein shakes and Ensure but nothing works and I'm scared. My blood tests all come back showing nothing wrong (No thyroid issues).

I am taking Vyvanse and Prozac, and I'm having trouble getting myself to eat. I am still in a healthy weight range, so I'm not worried about that. But I've been weak, fatigued, and dizzy at times because I'm not eating enough. Are there any protein shakes I should try, or something like that, so I can be getting the nutrients I need? I hate most protein shakes because I can't stand the texture, and they're usually gross. But I have to do something.

Your appetite will come back. Just make sure you are getting plenty of liquids and try protein shakes (GNC). They are packed with goodness and are easier to deal with than solid food early on. There will come a day soon when you will devour a large pizza and all will be well. Keep fighting...

Talk to a Certified Personal Trainer. They can help with adding lots of protein to your diet, healthy calories, and weight gaining protein shakes and lifting weights. Stay away from cardio. Make sure you are ok physically , that something isn't keeping you from gaining otherwise the above shoudl do the trick.

Drinking protein shakes is really good for this. I had the same problem and they make them for weight gain.

Do any of you ladies know if it's fine to drink protein shakes while pregnant. . I'm 23 weeks.

I had the same problem with protein shakes/smoothies that my doctor thought would be best for me to lose weight on...He wanted me to consume a total of 108 grams of protein/day. I did not lose weight on that regimen, instead I kept gaining. I, finally, stopped using the shakes and started eating "real" food that contains a healthy mix of vegetables and protein, with more fats from meat, dairy, coconut oil, olive oil, etc and lost 23 lbs in about 3 months...

You can try meal replacements shakes like Optifast for healthy and safe weight loss. Its a protein rich diet that keeps a check on food craving . You can lose upto 2-4 lbs every week with Optifast weight loss program.

for most of us its a good thing we tend to put weight on during our mmt program I want from 180 to 247 so I was happy when it came off I think its a combination of your metabolism and digestion being slowed down by the methadone and as you come off it it sorta goes into high gear if your already thin you might start out on the whey protein shakes early there loaded with vitamins amino acids as well as protein all of witch your brain needs to heal you can pick up a 2 lb can at walmart for 15 buck

When I managed a health food store that had a juice bar, we made our protein shakes largely with high quality protein powder by very reliable companies, very high quality organic soy milk, and threw a banana in with it. Tasted great. Or we used Spirutein, which had more sugar in it but was still pretty healthful all around.

I've lost 23 lbs at least and I'm 24 weeks today. But I also have a thyroid issue. So the medicine is finally regulating me.

We have a member (Namnam) that has experienced the same side effect to Fentanyl - weight loss. Luckily she claimed she had weight to lose. It did level off and she didn't continue to lose weight. In time you may have experienced the same results. I think she's been on Fentanyl for about 5 years. It's the only thing that controls her pain. As our Remar suggested talk to your prescribing physician.

I went from 90lbs to 100lbs by eatings protein and even drinking protein shakes called insure. When you want to gain weight you need to remember to eat healthy still do not gorge your self on junk food. Try to gain some muscle weight, dont over do the protein to much can be bad for your liver ect.

Good question!

protein, which can cause one to gain weight, not lose it. My doctor put me on a high protein diet and by the time I realized high protein wasn't for me, I'd gained an additional 15 lbs when I was already overweight from hypothyroidism... while I lost 23 lbs, when I went off the high protein diet, I'm still struggling to lose the remainder of my hypo weight. Everything must done in moderation.

I too am loosing weight...I have no appetite but I am making myself eat and eating almost non stop but still have lost 10# (I'm 11wks)...try protein bars and protein shakes...and fruits and veggies. Good luck, hopefully you start gaining weight soon.

I still drink protein shakes, not to loose weight, but for extra calories & all the other good stuff in them, lol
