You need real food. I wouldn't use slim fast as a meal replacement.
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.
What are you trying to accomplish? Normally protein drinks are a supplement and not made to be "meal replacement". I'm no dietician but typically protein drinks don't have a bunch of nutrients.
Ask your health food store for a good meal replacement that is good for digestion. There are many to choose from.
Have you been tested for Candida? It can cause some of the symptoms you are having, especially the digestion issues.
Could a person survive on an all liquid diet of meal replacement drinks like Ensure or Boost, that are full of protein and nutrients, for life?
So i guess my question is what can i use, thats a quick, fast, easy meal replacement, with protein, and carbs. I have tried many protein bars, but all of which contain HIGH ammounts of sugar. so thats out of the question now. Do u know of any meal replacement bars or protein bars, that arent loaded with sugar?
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.
Hi, again!
I absolutely lose my appetite when my anxiety is high. I already have a high metabolism, so the extra calorie burn of anxiety/stress, plus lower nutrition going in always leads to some weight loss for me.
Try to keep eating, even when you don't feel like it. I'm not familiar with a lot of cuisine options in the UK. Here in the US, when my anxiety is bad sometimes I live on ginger ale soda, toast with peanut butter & honey, and scrambled eggs.
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.
s too difficult to not drink the cold or icy beverages all the time that it would still be best to avoid icy beverages during meal time. During this adjustment period, it is best to drink only room temperature water, if water is necessary. However, he does follow this principle of drinking warm and hot beverages at and around meal times, because this does help with digestion. This is the same as the principle in Chinese medicine, even though he is not a practicer of Chinese medicine.
Just wanted to add that I, and a friend of mine, too, upon first trying Slim Fast thought there was magic in the shake, and thought we could eat whatever we wanted and take the shake and it would somehow do the work for you. Heh, well I learned you can't do a meal and a shake and that the secret is that it is about 200 calories per can, and it fills you up with protein, vitamins and minerals, so you don't get hungry.
Try to eat more vegetables and lean protein. Avoid fast food and oversized sugary drinks. Cut back on soft drinks and drink water. If you do that, it's probably all you need to do. Have 3 meals and one or two snacks. Try nuts like almonds or fruit for a snack, or raw veggies. Raw green beans are good, and so are raw sugar snap peas. Maybe a handful of raisins. Maybe you would like kale chips. Learn to cook using veggies, olive oil, herbs, fish.
Yes what he said by cutting out sugar an soda you'd be amazed how fast you could slim down even just a little bit, I've done this I've had friends that done it an they look amazing! Try more fruits an veggies drink more water lot of times when we think we're hungry we also just need water it can fill that void an help you eat less as well.
