Is that why her avatar looks so weird?
If so, this thread is even 'stupider' than I initially thought. <rolls eyes>0 -
Looks like someone's bored. The blogs must be slow today.0

Something fortified with vitamins and minerals having a long list of vitamins and minerals as compounds is horrifying? How would you put vitamins and minerals into a product without using, ya know, vitamins and minerals?0 -
I've actually used the Ensure Protein before, when I've had problems with eating solids while sick or when trying to add extra calories while traveling (it's tough to find food when traveling when you're Celiac). But this initial post.... srsly.0

Ok...I am in hospital for anorexia...they use this as a sort of punishment if you decide you can not complete your meals here. It is absolutely disgusting.0

After going through cancer treatment I hope to never see another ensure again. I still drink protein shakes but thought of having to drink another Ensure ugggh!0

My mom drinks them every day and quite likes them. I get her the extra calorie ones, and serve them ice cold and well shaken.0

Is it really that bad? Might want to try Boost instead (I think they're yummy), but I don't know if they have extra calorie versions.0

I use the ensure active light supplements to add protein to my diet without going over my calorie limits. I agree with the poster a few up; the key is drinking it ice cold.0

You're in the hospital for anorexia but on a calorie-counting website?
Talk about counterproductive.0 -

How is that counter productive? If she's got a set amount of calories she needs to eat a day for recovery, would a calorie counting website not be helpful? There are threads and groups on MFP dedicated to people looking to gain weight.0 -

FYI: No reputable professional who works with ED patients would EVER recommend a calorie-counting website to their patient. It doesn't matter that gaining weight is part of recovery. Gaining weight is the easy part. A calorie-counting website does not help the mental part. Counting calories is triggering for many anorexics and leads them to become more obsessive.

What does that have to do with what a particular individual would use the site for?0
