I recently purchased Women’s Ultra Mega Active from GNC, I had never taken a protein shake, I work out 3 to 4 times per week. Since I have been drinking this shake (one week ago), my stomach feels weird and I get gas and go to many times to the bathroom (valve movement). Is this normal? or this is because my stomach does not tolerate this particular multi vitamin protein shake? please help and sorry for asking this kind of personal questions.
calories 110, calories from fat 20, total fat 2.5, 8 gr of fiber, 12 gr carb, 10 gr of protein and a whole bunch of vitamins. per serving which is 35 g or two scoops
Any suggestions? or do you suggest a better protein shake for women after work out? I think I will return this product.
Thanks to all your comments

I’m 5’6 and 172 I’m trying to get to 135 in about 3 1/2 months. I am 11 and have a large bone frame, if I eat only 1000 calories a day and run 3 hours a day can I lose the desired weight by my deadline. I need to lose dat cuz I’m going to start surfing once I get out of school.

thnx

I walk about 3 miles and dance salsa for an hour daily. Sometimes I "lift" 10 lbs dumbells for a bit. Would this eventually lead to weight loss? How long would it take to lose 30-40 lbs with this exercise routine?

- I am also changing my diet, and eat probably 1,100 calories MAX in a day.

I’m 5’5.5 ft, 149 lbs.

Fast weight loss is unhealthy because it can slow your metabolism and it will make you start burning muscle (from what I understand so far).

So my question is, Can fast weight loss be healthy if while cutting your calories you still separate to 5-6 meals a day to keep your metabolism up; While also going to the gym everyday working different muscle groups every other day, while still doing a strong aerobic workout every day?

I am 5 foot seven and weigh 103 pounds. I have tried lifting weights, drinking shakes, eating right, sleeping right and all over the counter weight gain products. I eat around 3,000 calories a day. I eat 3 to 4 healthy meals and eat tons of snacks. The only way I was able to gain weight was to eat so much that I felt sick all the time. I don’t think that is healthy. I stopped doing that and lost all the weight I gained in 2 months which took me 1 year to gain (8 pounds) I have had 2 8pound babies and each time I gained 40 to 45 pounds but a week after giving birth I was able to slip my jeans right back on. It seems that no matter what I do my body says "you are going to weigh a certain amount and that is it". I just want a pill that will slow down my metabolism. I don’t get respect from anybody because they automatically think I am sick or vain or both, which I am neither. I just want respect from people I don’t know, like at the grocery store or in the mall, etc. Plus where do I find clothes to fit a 40 year old woman besides in the teen department?

So my workout routine is this- 30 min of cardio (usually eliptical at 230 watts) m-f and then I alternate muscle groups daily, but I lift weight for another 30 min. On saturdays, I attend a body pump class. During my cardio, I burn between 450 and 500 calories, and I sweat like crazy. I don’t want to increase my cardio more than 150 min a week, because personal trainers have advised me not to. I try to work abs a little bit everyday. I am doing a lower calorie diet (1500-1700 a day), and I try to eat something every 2 or 3 hours to keep my metabolism up. I lost 20lbs in 2 months, and now I can’t seem to loose any more weight. I want to loose weight naturally (meaning I don’t take weight-loss supplements) so I just stick to a daily multi-vitamin. I only want to loose like 2 lbs a week or so, and not much more. So what should I do to start loosing weight again?? I’m stuck… Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! :)
Ok, some things I forgot… I turn 21 this month, and I already eat alot of fresh fruits and vegatables, and alot of chicken breast because of the low fat and high protein content.
