Sustagen Hospital Formula and Ensure are nutritionally complete. SlimFast and similar shakes have a very different breakdown of carbohydrates/proteins/fats, which aren't long-term sustainable as sole source nutrition. For supplementing a healthy diet, yes, but not for the only source of nutrition. And they don't have all the essential micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, electrolytes etc. that your body can't produce). Sustagen Hospital Formula and Ensure you can use for sole-source nutrition (usually under medical supervision) because they are formulated to give you absolutely everything you need, where as SlimFast and other shakes are meant to be used in conjunction with actual food. I'm gonna try the latte and strawberry flavour Ensures, though :)<br /><br />Glad you liked the smoothie :) Thanks for following.<br />xxBellaBellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07544398450025713725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5606734429657625929.post-64537938443643998462012-10-11T10:43:53.327+11:002012-10-11T10:43:53.327+11:00youre gonna do just fine girly. youre strong and y...youre gonna do just fine girly. youre strong and youre smart. maybe try slim fast shakes? they have about as many cals in them as an ensure, and all of the vitamins and good stuff too. the cappuccino ones are the most delicious i think. a little less thick, and a little less...medicinal tasting. ensure has a funny vitamin taste, and the cappuccino slim fast shakes hide that taste a little better. your smoothie was delicious btw, i made one this morning and im thinking it could be a daily breakfast. <br /><br />keep posting, <br />stay strong, its always worth fighting for. <br />xoxo<br />daisy <3LoveMeDeadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14478409059518755939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5606734429657625929.post-14386791163699678792012-10-11T07:54:31.523+11:002012-10-11T07:54:31.523+11:00I tried making smoothies, but it seems too food-li...I tried making smoothies, but it seems too food-like :( I'm gonna try some more juice today though because 5 ensures doesn't sound so great (though they're a million times better than sustagen). I'm just really finding it hard to put anything in my mouth :( Under 800 yesterday. I'm trying to use my mum as motivation to keep going, but I'm just so tired of everything. I hate seeing her this upset. The first thing she said to me this morning, just now, was "I'm really glad to see you" and then she cried :( my mum very rarely cried before recently, but it's getting more common. Especially not this early in the morning. I'm gonna try for 1,200 today, but I really just don't wanna eat.
