Ok, I know this might get me flamed, but let me preface it with I AM NOT TRYING TO LOOSE WEIGHT! Quite the opposite, I am trying to be more conscious of how much protein I get in a day and I've been doing really poorly. So I was looking at a slim fast that I have in the fridge from pre-preg and it's got 10 grams of protien in it! That is like a jackpot for me at this point!
So I'm just wondering if you all know of/can think of any reason why drinking a slimfast a day would be a bad thing? I'll probably pick up some ensure this weekend, but until I have time to go shopping-will the slimfast work?
Ok-flame away!
Re: Slim Fast?
No flames from me, but I would definitely check with your doctor first. Sometimes those weight loss aids have ingredients that whack up your heart rate.
In college I was mildly addicted to Metabolife and Slim Fast - it was all I "ate" my sophomore and junior year. I would get the shakes, my heart would be racing all day (and night), etc. I'd just be careful of what I put in my body that's any time of weight loss related product right now.
It can't hurt to err on the side of caution!
I was curious, so I looked it up. Didn't realize they had so little calories. As a supplement it is okay, not as a meal.
Here is one source I found:
