you have to calculate the amount of calories and fat that you are consuming in total for the day. if you only drink a can of ensure as a meal substitute and maintain a low fat / low calorie diet for the remaining of the day then you are fine. but if you are drinking it in addition to a meal you will gain weight. it is used as a supplement for meals, for people who are not getting adequate nutrition with a regular diet such as the elderly and sick individuals. if you are planning on just dieting with this, its not worth it. just eat regular foods but limit your fat and calories and increase exercise.
Drinking ensure in substitute for 2 meals a day will help you lose weight. If you eat 3 meals a day plus ensure, you will gain weight. Just eat healthy and excercise and you will lose weight with no extra help.
if you use it as a meal replacement you will lose weight but if you drink it with every meal you will gain weight it's all about calories in - calories out get it !
My little sister drinks ensure a lot. You could gain or lose weight. It depends how much you drink each day. If you drink one every other day you could possibly lose weight. If you drink 2 a day like my sister it will be too much for your body and make you gain weight. So the answer to your question is both.
Maybe, it depends on how you drink it. 1 bottle of Vanilla Ensure is 250 calories and 6g fat. So 2 a day wont hurt but, if you drink them a lot it wont help you lose weight.
drinking ensure is like eating a bowl of rice, just without the full feeling you get afterward. so it can if you treat it as a diet but you can gain weight if you drink it with dinner often

Exercise. It's really the only way to ensure it will stay off, along with a healthy diet.
Gain, stupid.
If you gain weight quickly you will have fat problems. And if you lose weight too quickly you will suffer anorexia before you have a chance to gain the average weight. And that is the truth.
yes ensure plus and boost plus make you gain weight. It says it on the label "to help GAIN and maintain weight". I think that you have to drink 1 a day but if you really need to gain weight then you could drink 2. No harm done. And in about 2 weeks you could gain about 10 pounds :) you could buy them at the CVS by the medicine section they are only 8.99 but at Fiesta supermarket they are 7.99 they are cheaper :)
Some will gain weight, and others will lose it. Drugs have different effects on different people, and can either make you feel more hungry (gain weight) or less hungry (lose weight).
