Liquid diet weight loss is achieved by controlling your calorie
intake by restricting what you consume to mostly or, in extreme cases,
all liquids. These liquids can be shakes or juices with which you simply
replace two or three of your daily meals. Although there are some
medically supervised plans available through doctors' offices or
hospitals, the majority of liquid diet plans are available over the
counter.
The most successful plans are those that replace just one or two meals with a shake or juice but let you eat a healthy balanced lunch or dinner. These plans will usually include in-between meals snack bars or low calorie cookies.
Always pick a liquid diet that is not too low in calories and includes that healthy dinner. Firstly, because this will produce a gradual loss, and secondly because it has been shown that you will learn healthier eating habits and these will be more likely to help you keep the weight off over the long term.
The reason that we prefer the gradual loss approach is because we want to be in accord with our bodies. If it took 20 years of neglect to get your body into its present shape it would not be reasonable to assume that you can undo all that harm in 20 minutes. The gradual approach will also strengthen the chances of the weight loss being permanent.
Don't waste your time on research into detox diets. Once you start eating healthier your liver will take care of the cleansing action. I read somewhere an advertisement that suggested that it was possible to detox your body with a glass of water containing their lemon juice. Isn't the human intestine 40 feet long? How can you flush out a garden hose with a glass of water?
Do ensure that your chosen liquid diet drink contains a balance of the nutrients that you need. This may not be the case with very low-calorie diets, say 400-800 calories per day. Missing out on essential nutrients, minerals and vitamins can lead to side effects such as fatigue, cold intolerance etc. Also check that your selection contains fibre and protein. A lack of fibre in your diet can lead to constipation and other digestive ailments. A shortage of protein in your liquid diet can lead to a loss of lean body mass.
If you follow these guidelines then losing weight can truly be simple.
