Help im Gagging

[Rickard71]

Hi everyone, i have been taking my shakes this 3-4 weeks, but today i began gagging when swallowing..
Any tips... I heard there is a mousse made with the shakes would that be any easier to put down... I want to stay on the diet so i need help NOW

hey hun - know that feeling!!

You can make a mousse from the chocolate shake, just mix it in a bowl with about 60ml of water (I think)
It is advised that you drink half a pint of water before having it and half a pint after. You can also heat the chocolate (and vanilla) shakes up and add a bit of coffee to them, make a mocha/latté type drink I don't have any ideas for the strawberry shake and chicken soup as they're just naff...Esp the chicken soup! Boke!!! Hope that helps hun, it helped me a bit xx

I found that diluting them with more water helps.... I know it means you have more to drink but the consistency for me is much better. I use 550mls (which sounds loads more than the 240mls recommended), but the extra 310mls counts towards my daily 3-4 litre intake of water each time

I found adding ice cubes really helped me with the shakes x x x

I can only have mine with ice cold water from the fridge. Much better than room temp.

Thanks guys, I had been thinking, and I THINK the reason for the gagging is I began new medication on Monday for my epilepsy and since starting I havent been feeling 100% so will stay away for a few weeks, I will continue to diet and hoping to keep up todate with you all... Dreading not losing as fast as with LT

KEEP STRONG XX
