Liquid Diets Need Advice
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. |

I've never heard of a no-calorie liquid drink. I have been doing the HMR
liquid program for about 6 weeks now with great results. I take in 600-700 calories a day. -- Email me at: perpleglow(AT)comcast.net "Al Scudiero" wrote in message ...

Are you suggesting that you are going to follow a no-calorie diet for a significant period? You will starve yourself, and will eventually die. Along the way, you will damage every system in your body. Reputable liquid diets involve actual ingestion of calories and nutrients! Chris |

Don't do it. Start an exercise routine and make sure
your way of eating includes vegetables, fruit, whole grains, legumes, some meat/dairy, and limited fat. Al Scudiero wrote: If anybody has any information on Liquid Dieting I would appreciate it.

I would suggest that you go to the library or do a internet search on: "Fasting" "Juice Fasting" This could be an option for you. I am not suggesting it other then for you to read up on it. I do it a few days a month and it has given me worth while benefits. It can be used for some weight loss but it is recommended for other reasons. Monte |

Are you talking about something similar to the slim-fast diet but with
a drink with no calories? You'd be getting no calories... not good. You need calories If you are talking about switching from juices, sodas, etc with calories to the diet equivalent, and other than that eating normally, that is a good idea. It can save you hundreds of calories per day. Your best bet... suppose you weigh 200 lbs and you want to weigh 170 lbs. Eat like a 170 pound person, and eventually you will become and stay a 170 pound person AL Al Scudiero wrote in message ... If anybody has any information on Liquid Dieting I would appreciate it.

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). MadJock 204/195/165 "Al Scudiero" wrote in message ... If anybody has any information on Liquid Dieting I would appreciate it.

But you're also supervised. Any diet under 1000 cal a day needs to be
medically supervised and should only be done by those who are morbidly obese or have a pressing medical reason to lose weight quickly (those who aren't in the morbid category).

Search the archives: http://groups.google.com/groups?num=...0&as_maxy=2003 I'm considering doing this on my own. That's ill-advised. You need medical supervision if you go below 1200 calories of intake per day, or if you use the liquid nutrition as your sole source of nutrition (at any calorie intake level). There is really no defensible rationale for doing otherwise. -- ¤bicker¤ "It is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring." - Carl Sagan People are, of course, welcome to place whatever irrelevant limitations on their ability to enjoy something that they wish. |
