New Here--daily Intake Smoothie ??? Posted: 05-26-05 22:07pm
Hi everyone,
i am severely underweight, so much so that
my bones/muscles/butt hurts. I don't
have an ed in that I see the damage and
know i'm not fat. It's just that for so
long I pushed food away. I would like to
gain weight, as I am no longer pushing
away food.
My questions are this:
1. Is there a method to make a smoothie
with all the daily intake someone needs in
every nutrient plus made it calorie rich?
How many calories? And, i'm not only
going to down smoothies for meals, it's in
addition to to change things up a bit.
2. My nutritionist said I need to
consume 1800 calories. I don't even make
it to 1000. It's pretty bad. Well, I
don't like to eat much. Are there any
strategies? I am 22 years old/90 lbs.
And 5'6.
I enjoy soy, preferably the powder. I
know there is planet life protein powder
and whole nectar smoothie mix. Also, I
do take a supplement called veglife.
Since I have osteoporosis, I have a fear
of meat/casein related food items b/c it
said it 'could' worsen it. I also take
the miacalcin nasal spray and have various
heart related diseases which I take
medications for that as well.
Thank you.

Dear rawegn:
check with your nutritionist; but you
really should not try to get all your
nourishment through liquids, smoothies,
shakes, etc. Your body needs solid food
to process certain nutrients and to
function correctly. For one instance, if
you do not consume solid food at least
once a day, your gall bladder can atrophy
(become hard and un-yeilding) causing gall
stones and possibly requiring surgical
removal.
It may be important in your case, due to
your heart and osteoporosis problems to
speak to a doctor and have the doctor
confer with your nutritionist to create
the best plan for you.
If it were me, I would also seek out a
counselor to find out why I did not like
to eat. There may be non-medical issues
involved.

No, no, no...I didn't mean that I wanted
to just drink smoothies, I meant in
addition to what I eat. That gall bladder
thing freaks me out!
Also, I know why I didn't want to eat all
ready. I am eating now and working on
consuming more. No counselor is needed.
