Avatar f tn hi has any one done the slim fast diet----(milkshakes) and lost weight.How lond could u go on for? I'm planning to go on it but will do only one shake for dinner and have breakfast and lunch as normal.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn Hi there im on a diet and was wondering what kind of fruits would be low carb or any kinda low carb snacks for in between meals or at lunch time ?
1279364 tn?1280682588 m counting points but I am also chugging back a weight loss shake everyday as part of those points. There is no way I could ever do the Slim-Fast plan or anything like it. I just like the amount of nutrients in the form of chocolate milk i can get! Makes a great difference if I need a boost before working out or just need something to keep me going while I make dinner. ^_^ Anyways, some of them certainly don't taste very good. My favorite so far comes from Wal-Mart.
193609 tn?1292180293 I keep some Slim Fast shakes (or sometimes a store brand) in the fridge for those times when I don't have time for breakfast or just something quick. They come in several flavors and served ice cold, they are quite tasty.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn YOu may be better off stopping the protein drinks and avoiding all sugars. Low carb, moderate protein, high fat diet is the best proven tool for helping to control blood sugars. Please see a doctor asap for testing. come back and let us know how you go.
776302 tn?1241091853 If your goal is to lose weight, and make a significant impact on your blood glucose levels, stop eating carbohydrates. You don't need Herbalife to accomplish that goal. All it takes is the will power to replace a carbohydrate rich food with one that contains protein and fat. I know it sounds counter-intuitive to eat fat to lose fat, but until you read up on a low carb lifestyle, trust me on this.
Avatar m tn For fast weight gain, try protein shakes and specialty foods geared towards bodybuilders in the 'bulking' phase, as well as refined carb-heavy foods like pasta and bread, and high fat snacks like cheese and preserved meats. I also highly reccomend peanut butter. Add three teaspoons of peanut butter a day to your diet and you'll be heavier in a flash.
Avatar f tn any tips on cravings.. im not on slim-fast but it is a shakes and soup diet... also any exercise tips for being quite obese... the thought of doing anything like the biggest loser makes me feel sick.. something gentle but effective... any takers?
Avatar f tn All summer, I have been kind of groggy and dizzy acting. Could eating a lot of slim fast products containing chromium cause any of this?
1968463 tn?1374757813 I packed on alot of weight (35lbs.) in three months and my doctor said that it was due to one of my meds and that a three day juice fast may help me detox my sytem and gain a healthier start. I was just wondering if anyone here has trjed it before. I have read alot about it and it sounds awesome. Everone that I know that has tried it has said they feel so much better...and I want to try it, but I am wondering how it will effect me with all of the meds that I am on.
Avatar n tn I have low LDL, high HDL, low triglycerides, and a good ratio. I'm 58, slim and exercise. Yet, my blood work got flagged for high cholesterol. I eat low carb, but definitely not keto. How can my cholesterol be high?
Avatar m tn Dr. W. I'm sure you've heard the phrase "fat and happy." Well, it's not just folklore. The same carbs that make you fat (and contribute to diabetes and other problems) also make you happy. It's simple science: Carbs allow more of the amino acid L-tryptophan to penetrate your brain. The L-tryptophan triggers your brain to make more serotonin, and the serotonin makes you feel happier. It's as simple as that!
Avatar m tn I had the same problem. I had low LDL but also low HDL and hight triglycerides. I was taking 40mg of Atorvastatin a day but diagnosed with hypercholesterolemia. My Cardiologist added 10mg Ezetimibe to my regime and it acted like a turbo booster to my statin. Within a week my LDL was lower still, my HDL raised and my Trigs lowered right down. Statins work on the Liver, Ezetimibe works on the Digestive tract to prevent so much fat being absorbed.
1110747 tn?1295844043 I actually asked a pharmacist if it was ok to take, and she said that it causes a lot of problems with people. If you read the back you'll see a list of possible side effects. If I were you I'd try something like slim fast. I went to their website and they say it's ok to take before you get pregnant and even while you are pregnant, there's nothing in it to make you lose weight it's just a milk shake and the snack bars are like a not so junky candy bar.
Avatar f tn s allot of money so I was thinking about getting some powder Slim fast shakes and drink those with meals I was thinking cus you use them to replace meals it might help.of course I am going to talk to my Dr but my appointment isn't till next Wednesday so I wanted to try something till then. Is anyone else having problems? With my first son I had no problem gaining weight I went from 145 to 204 when I gave birth.
Avatar f tn Well I have tried over and over again with pills shakes nutrisystem slim fast weight warchers etc you name it I tried it.
Avatar n tn So to lose the belly fat should I start a low carb diet and start strength training? Anyone that has a good resource on Internet to start to look into both? Thanks to everyone!
Avatar f tn Eating protein and fiber rich diet or low carb diet. Protein help for preserving lean muscle mass and keep hunger in check. Take gluten free food items. You can also opt for meal replacement shakes like Optifast after consulting some weight loss specialist.
10894761 tn?1413637884 If you feel that your heart rate is higher after eating high carb meals, it may be caused by low blood sugar after eating carbs (reactive hypoglucemia). The solution if that's the case is avoiding high carb meals or adding proteins and healthy fat.
Avatar n tn I have had type 2 diabetes for 16 years and have always had trouble with my levels. An uncontrolable brittle diabetic my doc calld me. Playing defense taking 3 different types of insulin a day all day. Recently my doc changed my insulins to 1 toujeo but it is impartive that I take fast acting with every meal according to the carb count.I have no idea what I'm doing. And despite my efforts they still sky rocket after I eat.
