How to Go on a Liquid Diet

Going on a liquid diet is very difficult because truthfully, people have teeth so that they can chew foods for digestion. Liquid diets are unnatural diets and should be avoided unless you are trying to change your eating habits. Oprah went on a liquid diet for weeks until she starting dropping a few pounds. So an all liquid diet is alright to go on if it is a starter of a reduced calorie diet. Never should you ever try to go on a liquid diet for months at a time because it is unnatural and there is no way that you can stick to such a regiment.

If you do decide to go on a liquid diet, eat a regular dinner in the evening and substitute the liquid diet for breakfast and lunch. What you are doing is abstaining from eating regular meals and that is okay but you need to make sure that your dinner has plenty of vegetables. Vegetables are naturally low in calories and are digestive regulatory. There is a reason why your mother told you to eat your vegetables.

Following the instruction on the liquid diet container can help you to lose weight. Follow up with the online information on the product and connect with others who have decided to go on a liquid diet. Connecting with other people on the same weight loss program will give you the incentive to stay on your program.

You should allow yourself four months to lose about thirty pounds, if you consistently lose two pounds a week. You will find that you can stick to your liquid diet if you eat the dinner as suggested with two meals of liquid dietary foods. Breakfast means that you have been without food for hours as you slept and that is why you awake hungry and most people eat as soon as they wake up. If you eat a regular meal at night , you will not go to bed hungry and will not wake up thinking of getting off of your diet.

Also, as writing indicates a certain committment to actually follow through with a task, keep a journal of what you are eating. You should record two servings of your liquid diet food and what you eat for dinner. Try to keep your caloric intake around 1200 and supplement your diet with exercise. Walking is a good exercise routine and can easilly fit into your daily tasks. If you are unable to leave your house or apartment because of children or other reasons, purchase an exercise dvd and stay mobile for thirty minutes.

Most people seem to get an appetite after exercising, so have plenty of water available to give your stomach a feeling of fullness.  Sixty four ounces of water is the daily recommended serving.  Keeping a 32 oz cup of water available for two serving will give you sixty four ounces.  It is your choice on whether to drink bottled water or tap water.  Water is water and your body needs to stay hydrated.  If you are at home mos of the time, then two servings of a 32 oz cup of water will be alright for you.  However, if you are at work and away from home purchase the larger ounce bottles so you can get your serving of water easily without having to count 8 bottles of water to get 64 ounces.

Two servings of liquid diet foods daily, one complete reduced calorie meal daily, exercise and at least eight glasses of water daily is a weight loss program you should be able to stay on to reach your weight loss goal.

Some liquid diets, such as very-low-calorie diets, are all liquid and about 500 calories a day. They work, average weight loss of a stone a month (14lb)

LondonGirl, I wonder how successful these 500 calorie diets are. I have never ventured less than 1,200 daily because I think any lesser calorie count would be unhealthy. What does it entail?

I've not done it myself, they are only recommended if you are 3 stone or more overweight. They work very well, though, and (under medical supervision) are a pretty good idea.

They involve 3-4 milkshakes / soups a day, which contain protein, vitamins, and minerals.

I had a mate who was seriously large - about 20 stone (280lb) and only 5 ft 5, so she was vast. She lost 10 stone in a year and 2 months, 3 years ago, and is still slim.

Good for your friend, Londongirl, who have kept the weight off.

Thank you for your comment.

Yes, it's often easier to shed it than keep it off, I think! She went down to 10 stone, half her initial weight, and in 3 years has gained at most half a stone back.

I found this Hub useful. I've heard of a Liquid diet but never knew the facts. Not a bad diet - as one's tummy will feel full most of the time. Thanks.
