Meridia/Wellbutrin/Slim-Fast progress
Maybe it is because the oatmeal is high in carbs, and carbs cause cravings?
That is kinda weird... what brand of whey do you use?? "JMA" wrote in message news:c3b4fm$25ulul$1@ID- I've been using flavored whey powder (no sugar) mixed with water (milk doesn't agree with me) and eating a piece of fruit with it to get some carbs. I also tried having some in oatmeal with berries but I was ravenous within a half hour of eating it. I have no idea why I can be relatively satisfied with the liquid form but hungry after eating but that's my problem to solve. Jenn |

"Dally" wrote in message ... Myoplex Lite tastes pretty good - try the Cappacino Ice flavor. I buy mine at www.vitaglo.com. I don't get it pre-mixed, though, as I'm capable of adding milk and some ice cubes to a shaker. Just a quick question and not trying to be difficult or argumentative here. I was looking at Myoplex lite shakes since I want to find a replacement for HMR stuff to get rid of the sugar. I've actually been looking at a lot of products. Anywho - one of the ingredients of the Myoplex lite shakes (powder or premix) is "corn syrup solids." Is that sugar by another name?

I'm trying some Designer Whey right now, might try the GNC store brand next
week. Not a big selection up here. When I find one I like I'll buy online in quantity. I'm really biding time until my dr appt. next week since I have no idea what I'll be doing diet wise until then.

----- Original Message ----- From: "Julianne" Newsgroups: alt.support.diet,alt.support.diet.rx Sent: Wednesday, March 17, 2004 9:29 AM Subject: Meridia/Wellbutrin/Slim-Fast progress If the whole Milk stirring thing really is overburdensome and money is not an issue, some of the meal replacement supplements like Glucerna and Ensure light are pretty good with Sugar. Hey all, and I'd like to sincerely thank you all for your replies... I appreciate them very much. TO JULIANNE, JAYJAY and ALL: I'm inclined to go toward something like Ensure instead. I'm looking for something in the 200-250 calorie range. My concern is the amount of fat and carbs in the shakes. I'm wondering what type of shake that I could have that will give me the satisfaction of Slim Fast and the caloric energy, without being too high in fat or carbohydrates. There's a number of different kinds of Ensure products around... What one do you think would be the best to go with? I'm a little scared that by giving up the Slim Fast, I'll start putting on weight. Only because you seem to have already convinced yourself that you will. Think positive, it don't cost nuthin'. ;-] But I guess it's all a marketing ploy, really, right? "Slim Fast" is just the name...but I could be drinking anything with similar ingredients and getting similar results, am I not correct? It's just a matter of reading the labels, then choosing your taste preference from the more nutritious ones. On a similar note, one advantage to using the powder is that you choose how much fat you put in it. I personally use skim milk, but then again, I lost my taste for the varieties containing fat long ago. I'm actually up in CANADA, and here we have a brand called Presidents' Choice, The store you go to must be in the Albertsons's family. Our local (Chicago) chain is called Jewel, and also carries the PC brand. and they a shake called "Ultra". Anyone tried this? It looks high in calories, but it may be an option if anyone here has had good experiences with it... Also, Jayjay's idea of a Myoplex premixed shake might be good too. Is it alright to get so much calories from protein and not carbs, though? Or will I be too weak from the lack of sugars, if I go with those? Or maybe a combination of 1 slim fast, 1 protein (Ensure HP or Myoplex) might work? The premixed factor is really important to me...I live in a pretty big city with a fast lifestyle where I just don't have the time to do anything with a blender just yet. You don't really need a blender, just one of those commuter cups with a leak proof lid. Dump in a cup of milk, rip open a pouch of mix, snap on the lid and give it a shake as you're walking out the door. As an added bonus in this lingering cold weather, get the all plastic variety of commuter cup. That way you can nuke it and have a thick, warm, creamy cup of chocolate bliss to take the edge off that frosty commute. Maybe when the sun starts coming up earlier and its warmer, I'll be more inclined to get up and do those sorts of things, but I just don't have the time now. When your health is concerned, it's really important to make the time. Progress doesn't wait for conveniences' sake. -- Smokey 425/225/2?? - Orwell and Roddenberry weren't just writers, they were prophets. - "A lie can go round the world before the truth has got its boots on."

Just advice, or prescriptions too? May I ask? I'm just trying to get a feel if I am the only one on something. It seems so. Mark 182/153/145 |
