A member asked:
Im 17 1/2 weeks pregnant, my bmi is 35, can i use 'slimfast' products for food replacements during my pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I would not: Recommend Slimfast for anyone, and don't like any pregnant patient to be taking any additives, supplements, diet aids, etc. Unless they have been cleared with their physician. Why take any chances when you're pregnant?
