Meal replacement shakes?!

Question

I'm over weight and I'm currently 3 weeks pregnant would it be okay if I used meal replacement shakes to lose a little bit of weight? I don't wanna lose too much and I'd still have health shakes such as fruit and one main meal as anybody else used meal replacement shakes during pregnancy is it safe to use? Is anybody using it currently is it working?
I just don't wanna put more weight on during this pregnancy I wanna be as healthy as I can be

Answer

It is not safe to plan for weight loss while pregnant. It is safe to eat healthy and exercise while pregnant. Remember that excess sugar (in most of these shakes) isn't a good idea. Sugar substitutes aren't recommended while pregnant either.

This is not the time for weight loss. It's the time for healthy eating for you and your baby.

Answer

You will gain weight regardless it's healthy to gain weight for your baby. I don't think cutting out foods and using meal replacement is healthy at any time never mind when pregnant, that's my opinion. Eat healthy, move around more and drink plenty of water that way any weight you gain will be what baby needs and nothing else.

Answer

It will be fine. Lower your carbs and sugar and up your protein-- eat some with every meal to keep you full and energized

Answer

I wouldn't do meal replacement. I suggest not making it a goal to lose weight but to turn over to a healthier lifestyle. lean proteins, low fats, low carbs. like 50% protein/25%fat/25% carb for your meals. healthier snack choices. eating small frequent meals will jump start your metabolism.

Answer

trying to lose weight during pregnancy is the opposite of healthy. Your baby needs you to gain weight so it can develop properly.

Answer

Speak to your doc. There is nothing wrong with managing your weight during pregnancy. I think some brands are better than others though.

Answer

i drink isagenix shakes and eat their meal replacement bars. my doc said she loves when her patients use them because they are 100% whole foods, non gmo, no additives or preservatives, gluten free, etc. very expensive though. I spend about $200 a month on 2 shakes canisters and 20 bars.
