BOOST Very High Calorie Nutritional Drink, Creamy Strawberry, 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 24) : desertcart.co.uk: Grocery Review: This drink has been a total game changer for me. FINALLY, a drink that has enough calories and the right nutrients for those who really need to gain weight. I’ve been underweight my entire life, and since it’s not a concern for most people, at best I’m told to drink Ensure (which I believe is maybe 210 calories at most for one drink, usually less) - and a four pack costs about the same price as a four pack of Boost with almost 3x the calories. I’m 5’5, and because of my small frame, the most I’ve ever weighed was 112 lbs (this was when I was eating all the time; the guy I had been dating then had an extremely athletic frame so could easily eat 4500 calories a day and still look healthy). But if I’m not in a relationship and there’s no one to make me eat, I simply don’t have an appetite - at least not to the point where I really want to bother with going out to get food (not that the city I’m in has any real options) or dealing with the hassle of making it. I do still have to eat SOMETHING (like a burrito) in the morning, or something at night. I can stay at about 93-95 lbs when I do that. If I actually have both breakfast and dinner, along with two of these drinks, I can get my weight to 100 (which looks more like 112; 112 looks like 125 lbs on my frame). My lowest weight has been 70, and no, I’ve never had an eating disorder. That’s just my lack of appetite, and my appetite tends to get worse when I’m dealing with trauma, which I’ve had too much of in the past two years. Too many life-devastating losses, too much pain to care about what I was planning on having for dinner next. This drink is a godsend for anyone who just needs help maintaining a healthy weight, someone who needs help gaining, someone who is dealing with dental work and not able or not comfortable with all foods. I’m so grateful for those who came up with it and I hope it stays around forever. Ensure was never enough, and any protein shake from the health food store was always too much (consuming a 1200+ calorie protein shake on an empty stomach while you’re very thin generally just results in getting very hot, nauseous, and sick). The strawberry is definitely the best flavor! The vanilla is okay, but not really a fan of the chocolate. Review: If you need to gain weight, this is perfect. After having an emergency major surgery and ended up needing a colostomy, I went down to 78 pounds. I couldn’t swallow much due to other issues. My weight is normally 98 pounds and I got back to that weight in a week by drinking three shakes a day. I love the taste too! It’s like a thick milkshake.
