Question 1

can i use ensure to lose weight?

Accepted Answer

Not enough: Just ensure is not enough - you might not be healthy you need a combination approach of diet and excercise.

Question 2

i'm trying to lose weight, what can i do to ensure i'm losing it correctly ?

Accepted Answer

Healthy habits: If you focus on healthy habits, which will become part of your life in the future, is the only way to loose and keep off extra weight.
Exercise daily, eat mindfully, focus on unprocessed foods, skip sugar and white carbs and eat low fat dairy and meat.  Avoid bringing  home foods that were past triggers.  Don't deprive yourself of favorites but eat them in small amounts outside of your house.

Question 3

i'm looking to lose weight i wanted to know if drinking ensure twice a day, morning/afternoon would help at all or if it would have any benefit?

Accepted Answer

Probably not best ..: but probably not particularly harmful. There are 220 calories in an 8 oz  Ensure along with 9 grams of protein, a fair share of vitamins &amp; minerals &amp; fairly low in fat. So if you had 2 of these a day, that would be 440 calories in reasonable nutrition. You need to calculate what your reduced daily calorie goal is for weight loss, and make sure the remaining # of calories you eat are healthy.

Question 4

how do i lose weight?

Accepted Answer

Think long-term: There's more than 1 way, and in the end you want things that you can sustain over the long hall. Some goals: small meals every 3-4 hrs, no skipping meals, make colorful veggies the main part of each meal, use lean meats & protein sources, avoid fast food & soda, greatly limit juice, drink mostly water, eat fish 2-3x/wk, and exercise 5x/wk. Try starting with 1 thing & gradually add others.

Question 6

id like to lose weight?

Accepted Answer

Eat fewer calories: Helpful weight loss diets include natural foods that take time to chew but contain few calories. Examples include carrots, celery, and leafy lettuce (little or no salad dressing). When shopping for fruits, buy small ones no bigger than a tennis ball, because fruits contain natural sugar. Drinks without calories include water and green tea. A calorie is a calorie, regardless of where it comes from.

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's possible.: First you should speak with your primary doctor. There could be a medical reason why you can't.  Maybe you snore and have sleep apnea, if that does not work go see a obesity specialist. You could find one at asbp.Org. The bariatric specialist  will evaluate you and will recommend an integrated program including a dietician, counseling, and excercize  (such as a 5 min walk to start.) you can do it!
