So--
I haven't felt like eating lately due to stress. I'm okay-- I still make myself eat, but definitely not as much. I've also got a cold, so I'm trying to take care of myself. I picked up some of those canned diet drinks at trader joe's, they're protein shakes. Not bad. 170 cals, 35 g of protein and 4 g of carbs. Basically I just needed something prepackaged and small so when I'm not hungry I can just take a minute, chug it down and I'm good.
I've been taking them when I know I should eat but I'm just not hungry (but once again, don't worry, I've been eating really solid meals at least once or twice a day for the past few days.) I know my eating will go back to normal, but I was wondering about these drinks. I tend to skip breakfast and opt for lunch. so I'm thinking about trying to even out my metabolism by drinking these drinks two to three times a day, and having meals twice a day (which is my norm since I eat out a lot.)
Anyone have any favorites to recommend? Where's the cheapest place to get good ones? Anything that i have to watch for high levels in these drinks? Any other concerns?
I know if I was to just do a liquid diet (which might be nice to do for a couple days to slim down the bloated belly I occasionally get) that whatever I lose will just come back. But if I drank it a lot so I was still getting the 1200 or so calories per day needed, I wouldn't hurt my metabolism would I?
Thanks.

Thanks. Baby is getting really big and I still cannot believe I am more than 1/2 way through my pregnancy. The due date seems to be coming faster and faster!!
