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.
I used to work at McDonalds and all the fruit smoothies are is shaved ice and like a creamy sugar filled fruit base. There might small bits of strawberry in them but I wouldn't consider them healthy.
Powders are for Everyone
Everyone—not just muscleheads—can benefit from the quick hit of amino acids provided by a protein supplement, bar, or shake. Your best bet is a fast-absorbing, high-quality kind like whey protein powder (derived from milk): It appears in your bloodstream 15 minutes after you consume it.
I often use, both, Greek yogurt and protein powder in my smoothies. The yogurt gives you and extra amount of protein, plus calcium, vitamin B12, etc.
You can also use sugar free jello and pudding to flavor your smoothies, so you won't have so much sugar from the fruit. I have some really good recipes, if you're interested.
I can't eat very much bc of morning sickness. ..does anyone know of a protein shake that is safe for pregnant women?
Make sure you take your vitamins.
You may want to head to a health food store and ask about a Weight Gainer Protien Shake or Liquid Meal Replacement like Ensure, Slim Fast etc. If you eat normal meals each day and add a Slim Fast drink you will gain some weight as you are adding more calories.
You can also download NOOM App for free or go to My Fitness Pal online and use thier calorie counters to track your food caloric intake vs. out put.
They fill me up for hours, no hunger pangs, loaded with vitamins and minerals, they surprisingly fill me up more than cereal or toast ever did, those used to leave me hungry looking for more food. I think the high protein in the shakes helps with that, too. One thing that really appeals to me is that often I don't have the appetite or time to have a meal for breakfast or lunch, so this is quick and not much to consume. It's great also for teaching temperance and self-control.

ve tried chocolate and strawberry. Strawberry tastes best to me. It has a good amount of protein and iron along with a lot of other good nutrients. I actually had these recommended by someone who specialized in multiple pregnancies and said it'd be good to drink 2-3 a day, especially if you can't eat what you need. Also, drinking lots of water is also key for the babies. 12-16 glasses a day if she can handle it. I hope all goes well with your daughter and babies!
For weeks I had really bad chronic abdominal pain on my right side. I couldn't laugh it hurt so bad. Then I had a MRI they said they saw stool. Now I went to the plasma center my protein levels were high so I couldn't give blood. They say my protein was high because fatty foods. Is this reason I feel tired and don't have regular periods, breast milk dried?
I like getting The breakfast essentials drinks. They have strawberry, vanilla, chocolate malt, dark chocolate and regular milk chocolate flavors It's Just basically chocolate milk powder mix But has alot of The vitamins, calcium etc in It So They are pretty good... Also fruit, and I like making scrambled eggs with shredded cheese melted in It and If u like At least tomatoes and green onions dice them and throw them in there. It's So good.
Even though we will use protection, i still want to know during what time of cycle is the chances of conceiving slim?
Omg, I cannot stand to eat chicken right now (I dont eat red meat anyway) but ive been eating lots of beans and nuts to still get the protein for the baby. Now, I have been craving more veggies than anything.
