Three scoops is the recommended amount per serve. You will certainly gain weight if you have more than two serves a day, but remember - this stuff is LOADED with sugar! I don't know why you want put on weight but, for whatever reason, I'd consult a doctor first.

Yes it is! It is mainly sugar! Not good for your health at all.

Hi would this be ok for a woman with chronic pancreatitis
Can sustagen cause nausea. I have referred my friend to use it because she is severely underweight and has trouble gaining weight. She isn’t very wealthy and her home doesn’t have a lot of food. Or so she tells me. A few days after taking sustagen twice a day. She tells me it’s making her feel rlly sick like she wants to vomit.
I'm sorry to say Chloe, it sounds like your friend may have an eating disorder. She should seek medical advice. If she sips slowly on the Sustagen then there should not be a problem.

Hi Susan I'm not an expert, but I drink 3 a day. The doctors have told me that I need to put on weight. Drink it as if it were a meal or a snack. You can mix it up in a large batch and store it in the fridge. If your husband doesn't like how thick it is, you can also mix it with water.

Neutral flavour would work. For coffee try vanilla, caramel or chocolate.

Will drinking Sustagen have any effect on my diet and slow down weight the weight loss
Am on a diet can Sustagen have a effect on my diet slow down weight loss
Buy the low fat tin, it's a smaller tin 500gm, I think. I get it from Coles or Woolworths, about $8. I would not buy the full fat variety, usually found at the chemist, if trying to lose weight. Mix with water not milk.
I used the Optimum for a year when I was ill and had no appetite ... I didn't gain weight at all and also only lost approx 2kg ... I guess it depends on what you choose to eat, same as with any diet. Hospital formula is intended to replace essential nutrients which may be lacking in your diet for various reasons, can't see it having a bad efect if you're using it as a meal replacement (imo)
Full fat is better stops you losing muscle loss. Low fat is a con and usually more sugar is added.
