Avatar f tn I gained weight on it too as the shakes tasted too good but left me even more hungrier too. I am finally seeing success by using the *********** web sight and recording everything I eat so I know if I am within my range, using the support of the people here on MedHelp and by increasing my exercise level. Good luck!

655875 tn?1295695107 I do have fresh vegetables at hand for snacking too. My husband is drinking the protien shakes too, but as a snack after his workouts.
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 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.
Avatar f tn Sad to say that once we went to eat, I felt like my body had too much sugar, anything I ate, would make me feel as if I was eating sugar and everything tasted like the glucose drink! Is it normal to feel like this??
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.
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.
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 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?
Avatar f tn Eventually, the strain becomes too much and insulin production becomes erratic, meaning that blood sugar levels can no longer be effectively regulated. This leads to the onset of type II diabetes. The sugars in fruit are OK it's the refined sugar that's bad! An alternative is Unrefined honey and Molasses. No artificial sweeteners!!

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 n tn Also too much sugar in your diet could be responsible. I wouldn't be concerned unless it continues as mentioned above.
Avatar n tn blood work too everything is negative.. I also have a fast heart rate too and then it will wear off later on.. I dont understand this and what could i do to try and find out further about this??
Avatar n tn blood sugar of 109 is within normal limits. fasting blood sugar of over 120 is indicative of diabetes. you can ask for a OGTT (oral glucose tolerance test) where she will drink so super sugary drink wait 10 hours and they will test her blood sugar. her symptoms don't match up with diabetes. the big symptoms are that she is almost thristy, always going to the bathroom, always hungry and eating but losing weight. i hope this helps.
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 f tn You do not give enough information with regard to what you do or how your feel before you get the shakes. Sometimes with high fever and feeling very cold the body will get the shakes. Drinking too much alcohol can give you body shakes or by not eating or drinking something that you may be addicted to. It may be that you are not eating enough or may be dehydrated (not have enough fluids in your body). You may be shaking due to being nervous from stress or anxiety.
Avatar f tn Besides watching sugar in your diet-- you also need to watch carbohydrates (starches) carefully too. For example-- things like breads, potatoes, pasta, crackers, etc. can cause a drastic rise in your blood sugar if you aren't careful. (They are converted to sugar after you eat them) Other foods/drinks need care too (example; milk, fruit, fruit juice) can also cause blood sugar to rise (so serving sizes and moderation are important).
Avatar n tn My 18 year old son is too thin.....he can't eat very much....gets full easily.....if he eats too fast, sometimes he gets sick to his stomach.....but he does have energy and does a lot of physical work......
Avatar f tn So now for this pregnancy im feeling it again. I lost so much weight for my 1st one for throwing up so much and im scared to go through this again for this one. I cant eat anything without feeling queezy afterwards and even water tastes absolutely disgusting. What can i do to lower my chances of throwing up everytime i eat or drink anything.??
Avatar n tn Have you asked your ob if you can take a water pill to help with the water retention? Have you tried makibg your own protein shakes? Slimfast has so much crap in it I'm not sure I would drink it while pregnant.
776302 tn?1241091853 Has anyone used Herbalife shakes to lose weight and their other products? I am told by the sales lady that her other customers have balanced their diabetes with Herbalife shakes and vitamins and not needed diabetes medicine anymore. By drinking two shakes to substitute two meals they lose weight fast, like 10 lbs in one month. I am hypothyroid and diabetic and finding it hard to lose even 3 lbs. I fluctuate back and forth. Please let me know if any of you have tried Herbalife.
Avatar f tn re just adding useless calories. Most Americans eat too much protein, not too little. If you were working out with resistance training, a shake might help put on muscle quicker, but if you're trying to lose weight, there's absolutely no purpose in protein shakes. And when you say non-fat foods, what do you mean? Fish is high in fat, but it's good for you because of the fat.
