Check out this link for the "magical product" that helped me lose 6 Lbs. in just one month, by- believe it or not- 'eating
breakfast.' .... fill out and mail in the form by 12/30/08 for a FREEBIE related to this post,

Yes, what the research in Food & Medicine say's is really true--
Eating breakfast does seem to make a huge difference in the success, or failure, of our
weight-loss efforts.
I don't think there's anything magic in the breakfast, whether you eat it or drink it.
I think the benefit is that, if you do a small, reasonable breakfast then you won'r
be as likely to hit up Starbucks (or, if your more like me, Wawa) for a super-creamy,
sugar- loaded Caffine Bomb and/or hit up the snack machine at work before Lunch.
I was advised (by my Family Dr.) to 'Drink My Breakfast' since I assured him that I
would never eat it, as I do not ever eat before 1pm unless I have not slept all night.
I just do not get hungry in the morning. I will wat something small when I feel my
blood sugar waning, in other words, when I start to feel sick because I haven't
eaten all morning (light headed and a bit naseus, need to lay down, if really bad I
would see Haley's Comets.) I agreed to drink an Ensure every weekday morning-
at his reccomendation- and see if it helped. It did.
It helped me stop drinking 6 cups of coffee every morning between 6 and 10 a.m.-
drinking it replaced 3 coffee's for me, so I went down to 6-which was less acid in my
stomach and led to less anxiety over one particularily drama-creating lady at work (go figure,)
and I also stopped hitting up the snack machine on my 19:30/11a.m. break --because sipping down
that large cup o' Ensure and Ice (don't even try to drink that stuff warm, gawwwwwg-) was taking
me alll llllmorning, and by then I would be happy to have a nice, juicy, fresh, palate cleansing
apple.
The Vanilla is the most tolerable if you cannot get your hands on the Chocolate.
And ALWAY'S over Ice and with a Straw.
Try it and see if it won;t help you change your habits, and then even help you lose some pounds.
A VERY welcome bonus for most of us women:)
As I said, I even my Anxiety Symptoms dealing with a difficult co-worker( I would have sharp stomach pains whenever she showed up to start her shift, and her complaining about the overnight staff-which she often targeted on us, since we were Leads, and my pulse would raise,) waned over a week or so, because I was drinking less coffee as a consequence of spending the entire second half of my morning forcing this whole can of cold Ensure down (with a straw of course,lol 
It can't hurt to try it!
There is a coupon for a FREE 6 pk. of the stuff to be delivered to your home for your sampling pleasure- or, in my case, just pure commitment. Lol.
.
Wow! I am scared to try it because that is what the doctor had made me drink when he tried to make me gain weight. I think I will stick with my coffee. I am glad you found something that works for you. No doubt that the ensure is much healthier than the coffee you were consuming.
