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 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.
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.
All I can think about is a double fudge brownie shake from steak & shake. And I hate milk shakes but they just know what they're doing!
What are you mama's craving?
I haven't had any weird cravings this pregnancy but my last pregnancy I did. Milk chocolate dipped in spaghetti sauce. It sounds disgusting, but at the time it was just what I needed.
I want a chocolate banana milk shake so bad im at the point of crying. I asked hubby to bring me one on his way home from work and he said no he didnt want to stop on his way home. :( he knows ive been craving one for days now but everytime we go for lunch or stop to grab drinks he never goes anywhere i can get a shake. :( its not fair.
For some reason this baby thinks I need to drink my body weight in chocolate milk. Once I noticed how much I was intaking I switched to a low sodium soy milk so it was not as bad but I still got my fix. Alot of restaurants have a smart choices menu now so maybe try to order off that so you still get the taste but a little more healthy option?
My typical day for eating is 1 clementine for breakfast and for dinner fat free chocolate milk. My downfall is lunch. Usually I stop at a fast food restraunt and eat a burger, fries, and shake and purge it. I don't eat an enormous amount of food, just junk food. I don't know why I do this and I know I have control over it. I choose to do it. If I eat and don't purge I feel guilty for allowing myself to even eat the food in the first place.
made from oats,protien powder, peanut butter,almonds,milk, honey,chocolate, almonds and I decided to add in a multivitamin crushed into the flatjack mix. Isn't much fiber tho. Plan on eating around 2000 calories of the stuff daily. Would it be healthy eating this everyday? I do plan on eating other things like snacks and so on with water.
Some details incase needed. Male 21 135pounds.
t get sick at all during the day and am able to drink water. It is pricey so other times I just get the chocolate carnation break fast mix. It does pretty good too. And also I don't let myself get starving I munch all day on fruits veggies nuts etc ever since I started doing that I got my appetite back which is important for us to gain wait.especially since ive lost 9 lbs so far at 16w.
