Question: Is Ensure Ok For Weight Gain!?
I am in recovery for anorexia and am in an intensive outpatient and if i can't gain at least 1 pound this week, i will be forced inpatient (i am 5'4 80lbs, 17 years old)!. Are Ensure Plus Drinks ok to drink in addition to my meals and snacks!? Has anyone ever used these!? Would it be ok to drink one of these before bedtime as a snack!?

I used to drink Ensures about 3 times a week and gained five pounds in 3 - 4 weeks!. They're really helpful for weight gain! My favorite flavor was the vanilla!.!.!. mmm!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Ensure is fine!
In my opinion, the best protein shakes are the ones you make at home with a blender!. If you don't have a blender, you can find one pretty cheap at Wal-mart, Target, K-mart, etc!. Purchase a good protein powder at a health food store!. Mix a scoop of the powder with 1-cup milk , 1/2-cup plain yogurt, a banana, and other fruit--fresh or frozen!. The shake will be healthy and delicious!. You can make a million variations using different fruits, flavorings, instant coffee, chocolate syrup, etc!. The web page below has lots of protein shake recipes!.

They are mostly geared towards weight loss, so just change the skim milk for regular and the fat-free yogurt for regular!. Enjoy!

Yes, it really works, my doctor told me to drink it when I was anorexic, and I gained like 18 pounds (I know it was horrible to gain weight) but at least I'm recovered!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
