    Default Ensure drinks...

    I have lost a lot of weight. Not just post baby weight loss...but im losing pre prego weight. Maybe too tired to bother eating sometimes, maybe so busy I forget. ERither way Im losing weight and if I lose my booty ill be broke. LOL Sooooo I have been making an effort to eat more....RICE ALL THE TIME...and eat more period. And Ive also started become obsessed with Ensure Plus. Anybody else use this and does it seem to help you gain? I weigh 160 now and am 5'10". All the time at work people say "your getting SO skinny" i hate it. I would like to get up to 175,which is where i was before,happily. (sounds crazy heavy,but i AM tall,and i usually carry in my bottom half, which is a good thing in my club.)

    Ensure Plus will help you gain if you drink it in addition to a normal diet. When I was working on gaining weight I drank one or two a day on top of regular meals. 3 a day will add like 1000 extra calories, so it's a good thing to try---plus it's balanced nutritionally.

    I like Boost in the strawberry flavor for when I don't have time to eat, can't be bothered to eat, or spent the weekend partying and I don't wanna eat.

    I took Ensure PLUS when I lost lots of weight, 2-3 times a day for about two weeks. It helped a bit but not enough protein imo. It has lots of sugar/garbage. I took that, bc I wasn't working out.


    Try these better.

    What Vyanka suggested looks like it will be better for a body than Ensure. Probably tastes like crap though. I wish there was some kind of funnel I could put in my mouth and pour those things down my throat without ever tasting it.

    Personally, I just eat lots of pizza.

    Actually I think Ensure PLUS is great to get you eating again if you lost your appetite. When I lost my appetite, it made me eat more.

    Are you eating though? And if so have you had your thyroid checked?

    Here's what I use: Aria, women's protein powder, vanilla flavor 14 gr. protein w/o milk. I mix in soy or rice milk. I got it from nutritiondiscounters.com, or you could try a similar product from vitaminshoppe.com. I give it to my mom. We both have hyperthyroid, we never/rarely gain. There are these protein bars I love from vitamin shoppe, (they have regular stores) I think they are Advantage brand, chocolate w/coconut inside.
