Yeah
Reply:Depends on what percent milk you are using with it, not too bad if you use skim milk, but whole milk - you could pack on some pounds.
Reply:maybe
Reply:Oh my god!!!! YES
Reply:ya they totally make you gain weight because they are loaded with sugar
Reply:Not sure, but I would think that your kidneys may not like it... it may be more dehydrating than good, but just make sure you drink loads of water each day.
Reply:Depends on what you are eating with it. Alone it won't but if your are also eating eggs, bacon and pancakes, then fast food for lunch then a big dinner at night, you will then definetely gain some weight.
Reply:yes it does a lot
Reply:What else do you eat in between meals?

Keep a record of anything and everything you put in your mouth.

You may be eating a lot more then you think.
Reply:well, if you are drinking MANY of them each morning, i would say so. If you are drinking one, then i doubt it would make you gain a lot of weight, IF you are eating/drinking healthy at other times of the day. They do have a lot of sugar. They're like chocolate shakes. You know what they say, the stuff that tastes the best is bad for us.
Reply:No it wouldn't, it is made to drink in place of breakfast and doesn't have as many calories as the breakfast you would normally eat probably. Maybe it is not filling for you and you overeat the rest of the day?
Reply:Calm down, holy smokes! It can, but it doesn't mean that it WILL. If you are so worried and freaked out over gaining weight, get the type that is sugar free, no big deal.
Reply:uhhh yeah! they both do and using both of them can totally make you gain weight!!!
Reply:No. Eating more calories than what you need that day is what will make you gain weight. Having Instant Carnation Breakfast for breakfast is good but you must also look at what you are eating for the remainder of the day.



I lost 112 pounds without cutting out all the delicious items that I love, I just don't eat as much of it when I eat it.



Please keep in mind the following when looking for a diet plan:



Every year Americans invest billions of dollars in weight loss diets and gimmicks, many of which yield few results. However, the lure of quick, easy weight loss is hard to resist. Despite ineffective tools, most hopeful consumers are willing to give the next weight loss fad a chance. If you're planning to start a new diet, it is important to remember the following information.

Food-specific diets: Have you ever tried the cabbage diet or the fruit-only diet? These are just a couple of examples of diets that promote one "specific" food that causes weight loss. No matter how much you think you'll enjoy ice cream at every meal, inevitably you will get bored with eating the same food repeatedly. As a result, you'll eat less food than needed to maintain your weight. This type of diet will not teach you healthier eating habits or provide a balance of nutrients, and consequently is not effective for long-term weight loss.



High-protein, low-carbohydrate diets: One of the most recent trends in dieting, these diets are based on the concept that carbohydrates are "bad" and that everyone has some degree of insulin resistance, resulting in poor carbohydrate metabolism. Many proponents of these diets suggest that including carbohydrates in your diet will cause weight gain. The reality, though, is that eating more calories (whether as carbohydrate, fats, or protein) than you burn will cause weight gain.



High-fiber, low-calorie diets: Fiber-rich foods play an important role in a healthy diet. They are a helpful ingredient of weight loss efforts because they provide bulk to the diet, which helps you feel fuller sooner. Be careful, though: if you plan to increase the fiber in your diet, be sure to increase your fluid intake at the same time or you may experience cramping, bloating, and constipation. High-fiber diets will help with weight loss only if you restrict calories in conjunction with addition of extra grains, fruits and vegetables.



Liquid diets: Consumers face a couple of different liquid diet options. Your local grocery store and pharmacy sell over-the-counter liquid meal replacements, which can be expensive and frequently add extra calories to daily consumption if not managed carefully. On the other hand are liquid diets that require medical supervision. These diets are usually very low in calories and may result in metabolic abnormalities if dieters are not carefully monitored. Neither type of liquid diet should be used for long-term weight loss unless monitored by a health care professional. Radically changing your caloric intake in this way will not result in long-term behavior modification and healthy eating patterns.



Fasting: As a way to cleanse the body or jump-start a weight-loss program, fasting has been recommended for years. However, all that fasting really does is deprive your body of nutrients and decrease your energy, leaving you feeling weak and lightheaded. If the right nutrients are not available for your cells to use as energy, your liver will convert fat stores to ketones for use as energy (ketosis). Long-term ketosis can be harmful to your health.

No fad diet or gimmick will work magic for safe and effective weight loss. The following are some suggestions for ensuring a long-term healthy eating plan and getting your weight loss efforts off to an encouraging start:

Eat a variety of foods. Remember, a balanced diet will ensure that you get all necessary nutrients.



Get some physical activity every day. Calories in must be less than calories out to ensure successful weight loss. To keep "calories out" at a healthful level, make you get at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day.



Include sources of fiber in your diet. They will add bulk and give you a feeling of fullness.



Choose a diet low in fats, saturated fats, and cholesterol. You do need to consume some fat for good health. Aim for no more than 30 percent of your total calories as fat calories, of which no more than 10 percent should be saturated fat calories.



Choose foods moderate in sugars. Foods that are high in simple sugars usually offer little nutritional value and will add unwanted calories.



Choose foods moderate in salt and sodium. Remember that salt has been added to many foods during preparation or processing, so it's not necessary to add extra salt at the table.
Reply:You will gain weight if you eat more calories than you burn daily. Carnation Instant Breakfast alone won't make you gain weight, it's how many calories you are taking in all day long and how many you are burning.
Reply:Not if your not having another meal with it, also try the less sugar version. It's just as good.
Reply:well, I am not a fan of it.. It can make you gain.. If you drink it (and I assume so) in the morning tho that's not so bad. You have all morning to work it off. How about yogurt, fresh fruit.. (like a toast w/carb jelly? luv carbs=energy) instead? ICB's packed w/the vitamins tho. My kids like power drinks (Sobe energies.) Skip the Red Bull tho (just too much sodium and little else when ya read the can, man.)
Reply:OH MY GOD!! :O



Just kidding. Drinking it alone won't make you gain weight. Granted, if you drink that and then have donuts for lunch and ice cream for dinner, yeah, you'll gain weight. If you're worried, make it a special treat. Eat a scrambled egg and toast for breakfast most mornings and as a treat, drink the Carnation breakfast drink once a week.
Reply:yes definitly
