Losing Weight is almost everybody's New Year's Resolution, we always look for the fastest way to lose those ugly bulges we acquired during the holiday binges. Some people would try Liquid Diet, experts admits that the liquid diet is a surefire way of losing a few pounds in just a matter of days. Someone on a liquid diet can lose up to 6lbs in 2-3days only. But do u know that most of the lost weight is just water and as soon as you drink you will gain back the lost weight. And once you got bored of the liquid diet, and start eating again (since I'm 100% sure you miss all those delicious food) you will start to gain back the lost weight and will gain even more. The reason for gaining more weight this time is because during the time you are on a liquid diet your metabolism got used on just burning few calories, so when you go back to your normal calories intake your body (metabolism) will be slow already in burning those calories and that leaves you gaining more weight.

According to the health organization, a person can only lose 10% of his/her current weight in 6months, so your weight now is 200lbs, you are only allowed to lose 20lbs in 6months. The answer to a healthy and sustainable weight loss is to eat in moderation, eat healthy foods which contain lots of veggies, drink plenty of pure water, and of course lots of exercise.

Liquid Diet consist of: Fresh Fruit Extract, Fruit shake, Coffee, Milk, Protein shake, Soup (pureed veggies and strained meat) and herbal tea.

So the muscles that took you so long to develop will just go to waste once you opted to go on a liquid diet.
