Default Liquid Diets Need Advice

Sure, you could always buy a load of vitamin pills and crush them into a
pint of water. But your idea sounds a bit silly to me. You'd feel hungry,
malnourished and tired. There have been more humane forms of torture. And
anyway, you'll emerge from your liquid diet and go straight back onto the
diet that has given you your weight problem in the first place (I'll assume
there IS a weight problem, you'd be COMPLETELY insane if there wasn't . .
..).

Seriously, don't do it. It's one of the silliest diets I have ever heard of
(the silliest being complete starvation WITHOUT the vitamins). Do some
sums - calculate how many calories you need to maintain your weight, and how
many you need to stop yourself from starving. Then go for somewhere in the
middle of that. Yes, it'll take a bit longer, but at least you won't die.
If your diet idea doesn't kill you, it would give you some eating disorder
anyway. And your stomach would start to digest itself (no, it's not good).

If anybody has any information on Liquid Dieting I would appreciate it.
I'm considering doing this on my own.
Drinking non-calorie liquids, combined with vitamins and supplements.
I am NOT talking Slim-Fast or any of the energy drinks.
Pure-non-caloric liquids for an indefinite period.

Thanks for the info.
