[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 706576, member: 13882"] This weekend, I was reading an interview with the actress Marilu Henner (64 y/o). The interviewer noted how slim and healthy she still looks, and Marilu said she and her husband work out every day, watch their diets, and it's not always fun. Marilu said something like, "Healthy is hard, unhealthy is hard. Pick your hard." That really resonated with me for some reason. It DOES svuck to have to constantly watch what you eat, and exercise and be mindful of stress, etc. But the alternative of obesity, diabetes, medication, etc. is hard, too, maybe even harder. You just feel bad all the time when you're not taking care of yourself, and it affects every area of your life. They sell shelf stable protein drinks in most supermarkets, and some actually have low sugar, and very few ingredients. I like the brand "Core Power" personally. They have a 14 oz. Core Power elite (42 g. protein, 240 cal., 7g. sugar) to which I add 3 TBS. peanut powder (also in the supermarket where the peanut butter is sold), and whip that up in a blender with-ice, and sometimes a banana, and I'm telling you, I'm full for hours & hours. Also, there's no GERD associated with drinking this, bc I too have GERD, and it never acts up with the shake. You should find what works for you and your daughter, and make a commitment to each other to keep up with a new regimen. You'll feel better in every way, I'm certain. Remember, pick your hard!
