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.
Also covered are discussions relating to specific diet plans like the South Beach Diet, Atkins Diet, Slim-Fast, Weight Watchers, Counting Calories, Fat Flush, Body for Life and others."
"Fat Flush" is a detox diet, much like a fasting regime. "Slim-Fast" is not a natural product. I am getting confused by the terse dismissals being offered to people who have come here for support.
I have been eating far too much fatty foods and I am embarrest by how bad my fitness is. I am not a fat person, I am very slim but fat has accumulated throughout my body (cellulite yuck). I have decided that I have had enough of not being able to do the activities that I want to do like swimming and I need to do something to get rid of the fat. I am keen to take up skiing which is a good reason and motivation to improve my fitness.
I love pizza, but since I make it myself, it is low on calories (little oil in dough, low fat cheese, lost of veggies, wholemeal flour). I only eat half, and if I am still hungry, I eat a side salad, with lemon juice instead of dressing. Look up the healthy food guide for fast, easy and low calorie recipes.
Another, more radical approach is: no more carbs. Eat lots of veggies, one portion of fruit only, one handful of raw nuts, low fat dairy, high fat fish, lean meat.
I am very slim. 5'7", 120 lbs. Low BMI, marathoner who runs between 60-80 miles a week. I am vegetarian and don't eat fried stuff at all; the fat I get comes from avocados, almonds, nuts and is a very low fat diet. My diet is based on whole grains, legumes, and fruits. I don't eat refined sugars nor processed food. I don't drink alcohol. Always my cholesterol and triglycerides levels have been very, very low.
No, I don't think it will affect kidney stones, but.. Slim fast has horrible ingredients, and I would not feed it to my dog. From their website, they list Hydrogenated soybean oil, High Fructose Corn syrup, etc. Soybean oil will make you fat, and so will high fructose corn syrup.Suffice to say, stay away from Slim Fast! Eat whole foods instead. At best, these drinks may cause rapid weight loss, but they are not healthy and usually the weight comes back later.
In the last 3 or 4 years I started trying out different forms of exercise. Running seemed to be the most effective, however I've developed some problems with my knees and right foot. I've also tried yoga (hatha, bikram), pilates, various types of bootcamp and recently the bar method - all of which I enjoy. If there's weightloss, I can usually see it in my face and upper body, however my problem areas are my abdomen, obliques and thighs.
From your measurements, you are underweight for your height. Some people have a natural high metabolism which tends to cause them not to gain weight. Since you are underweight, you need to gain weight slowly, try to eat a Heart Healthy diet that will give you the nutrients, vitamins, and minerals your body needs, and help with possibly preventing future disease states. Suggest eating about 2000-2400 calories per day broken down to three meals a day, with snacks between meals.
From the measurements you stated you are about 30lbs underweight for your height. Suggest you eat 3 meals a day and try to eat a Heart Healthy diet which will give you the nutrients, vitamins and minerals your body needs, gain weight slowly, and help with possibly preventing disease states.
I include arms 3 times a week, along with crunches and lunge exercises. My diet Monday thru Friday is this...A 20 oz coffee, Slim Fast with a banana and a low fat yogurt, 10-15 carrots, a handful of grapes, a frozen lunch <300calories, a low fat cheese stick, 1 serving of whole wheat crackers or pretzels, an apple, a hanful of mixed nuts and then finally dinner, which is either grilled chicken or fish with a fresh veggie. What is going on?
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.
Hi,
A lower calorie balanced diet is very effective for weight loss. A low carb diet causes the body to go into Ketosis whereby the body uses its fat as a source of energy. Also when you are in ketosis your body feels less hungry. This all sounds good except that this can also lead to kidney issues (even failure), osteoporosis, and kidney stones.
Stay balanced and control your calories and you'll lose weight and avoid the side effects.
Good luck.

low cal, diet, fat-free, low fat, sugar-free,etc.
They will just add more weight on your body in the end for sure!!!
These products are designed for marketing purposes and profits!!!
I purchase mostly ONE ingredient items from the supermarket, so I KNOW what's in my food,lol!
If you gain weight too easily, have your thyroid checked.
Ask and insist for Free T3, Free T4 and Reverse T3 tests!
The standard tests miss too often!!!
Good luck with your weight loss goals!
