I drink breakfast drinks quite often because they help me battle against my panic attacks. Whenever I feel weak from having not eaten for a few hours I take a few sips and the feeling subsides without having to eat very unhealthy snacks. [b]But I am wondering how can a breakfast drink take away our hunger? Do you like those breakfast drinks? [/b]

If I am not mistaken the breakfast drinks are high in calories and it's thick consistency is suppose to curb the hunger. I am one from time to time to additionally consume Ensure as it adds to my calorie intake so I do not loose any weight. One of the drawbacks of being skinny for me.

Haha well, I think it's better to be rather skinny than as fat as I am. :) My drink: 70 kcal per 100 ML. I've seen worse drinks. :)

I like some of them, but I have to be careful because they can cause me to have an allergic reaction because of my food allergies

When we are thirsty, we feel hungry too. Also, sugar makes you think you are full.

Yes I it relaxing in the morning to have one. It takes my mind off eating a lot of things. Maybe it is the sugar content of this drinks that make us having a full stomach.

I wonder the same thing. It is kind of hard for me to imagine since I have never had one. It really does not sound appealing to me.

hi diamania most of them have too much sugare and salt and fat to be really healthy so you should read the labels for content . there are some that are really healthy for us and even taste good too and because they are balanced they take away our hunger.

It has been a long time since I've had any of those breakfast drinks but there is a reason I stopped buying and drinking them! lol I wasn't a huge fan. They didn't taste too bad but I never felt like they kept me full like a "real meal." I would prefer to eat my cereal or oatmeal for breakfast rather than those drinks.

I have tried the Slim Fast before and I did not seem to be hungry after drinking one of those but for some odd reason it did make me sweat? I don't think there was any other breakfast drink that did not make me hungry only that one except I have heard if you drink a glass of water with ant meal you will feel fuller sooner. Well Have a good day.
