Is it ok to drink slim fast while pregnant? I have gained too much weight so far. I started out tiny and now my mid section is huge! I'm not looking to lose weight but eating hurts. My lower back is in excruciating pain and I know it's from the weight gain and due to my belly sticking so far out. I'm only 25 weeks pregnant and I feel the only option is to eat tiny meals to keep up my energy because after I eat my stomach feels so tight b it just hurts.
You should probably talk to your dr about this. Really any diet plan you try should be discussed with your dr, but who actually does that? Not Me!!
The problem here though is taking some sort of supplement/medicine and if it will react with any asthma meds you are taking. Interactions there or if you are allergic to an ingredient could be an issue.
I have never take supplements/medicines. I have used Slim Fast though.
Google "scarsdale diet" and you can check out the menu
You say you watch what you eat! but you didn't state what the diet menu is and the calories.
at the gym do weights first and cardio last. Doing cardio first you become tired and then it's harder to do proper weight training.
Try the following routine!
The Peak 8 routine it will quickly raise your heart rate 8 times for very short bursts, with a cooling
down period in between.
Well I have tried over and over again with pills shakes nutrisystem slim fast weight warchers etc you name it I tried it.

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.
There is a diet called the DASH diet which was created to help people with diabetes, high blood pressure, and hypertension. You can do a little research on line about DASH; some sites even have a menu plan. First, you should definitely discuss this w/ your doctor, to see if this would be a good diet for you to follow during your pregnancy. Also, keep exercising daily ~ exercise really makes a huge difference w/ high blood pressure, it lowers it...
I found a diet plan from the Cleveland clinic right after my total colostomy.It saved me from the constant diarrhea . The main thing is to drink only Gatorade not water. Water does not absorb easy and just thins the bowel. Gatorade is absorbed better. You can look up the diet. It also gives suggestions on what to eat to help thicken or thin the bowel.
I think there are two types of Weight Watchers plans you can do, the plan where you count points and the one where it is a lower carb diet. Anyways, I gained weight on weight watchers before, when there wasn't the lower carb choice. I am now doign South Beach and have had success this week.
Lala is absolutely right, don't diet, breastfeeding will help you loose weight fast and you will loose more as the baby feeds more. Congrats and best wishes.
