Liquid diet

Yes, a high protein liquid meal replacement. Through my local hospital, by prescription, monitored weekly by physician. Very effective.

Years ago I did Slimfast, and I've also tried fasting on just water.

Man, both times, was I grumpy and difficult to be around! I think I lost some weight, but I gained it back plus more.

I had to do a sort of three day fast once before a medical procedure, and that was really no fun either, but doctor told me I had to do it.

I want to encourage you to set your goals up in MFP and learn how to eat some of this wonderful, delicious food, in proportion so that you can achieve your weight loss goals.

Believe me, liquid diets to lose weight are not healthy. Food is good for you, in fact.

I'm now on day 8 of my liquid diet and I don't feel like I'm losing much energy, I feel about the same and exercise 2-3 times per day for an hour a piece.

I'll usually wake up, make a protein shake and take my PB8, Krill Oil, Multi vitamin, and fat burner and then go for a 1 hour walk and run up 2 sets of stairs or take a swim (I live in the Caribbean so I tend to take dips in the ocean quite often). I take a break and drink some water once I get home and take my colon cleanse / flush.

Around 12:00 I'll go for another walk for 30-45 minutes trying to push myself a bit harder, trying to beat my previous time and run up 3 sets of stairs.

Then once again around 6-8 I'll take another fat burner with some water and head out for another walk, this one usually a bit more calm but try to finish strong within the last 30 minutes and 2 sets of stairs once again (In the end about 125 steps) and another protein shake and or glass of juice with some water.

I've been maintaining this for 8 days without any loss of energy and I'm seeing fantastic results, my only concern is whether or not it's going to all come rushing back the minute that I eat something. If it was over a month I wouldn't mind but if it all came back in the first week I'd be quite disappointed.
I plan to ease off of the liquid diet on the 10th day and get back to just counting calories and eating solids again.

I feel like it'd definitely worth it if you can transition back into solids with your jump start intact, I have quite a bit of will power so I feel like I could go back into solids slowly without gorging on something ridiculously unhealthy.

Also I'm down like 100-120 lbs from when I started this time last year. (Started at 515).

A friend of mine did. Lost a ton of weight. Started eating again. Gained all weight back. Went back to shakes.
I would just rather eat healthy and exercise.

Only when I was too sick to eat. I was on a liquid diet for several months last year because of gastrointestinal issues. I was also hospitalized twice on NPO status with nothing but IV fluids for days at a time. Lost a good chunk of weight (that I haven't gained back), but I was tired, weak, and nauseous. Even though I had no appetite, I still had hunger pains. It was miserable.

I would rather be able to eat normally and work my butt off to lose weight. It's much easier this way.

I've had to go on a liquid diet for 4 days before for a test. It was pure misery. I snuck a slice of pickle in. lol. It was not fun unless you like peeing out of your *kitten*. lol. Nasty, but that's what you're lookin at if you do all liquid, and if you add protein in the mix, No. Just no. Don't do it. I was sick on eating very little and drinking a protein shake. So I KNOW just drinking a protein shake would be even MORE miserable. Ugh.

Has anyone tried a liquid protien diet only, if yes what were the results?

I had weight loss surgery--out of necessity for my life--and did a one week doctor supervised almost full liquid diet using three protein meal shakes a day (Bariatric Advantage) and a dinner that consisted of 5 oz. of lean meat and 1/2 cup cooked vegetables or 1 cup of raw, salad type vegetables. I lost 12 pounds that week. I am 5'5" tall and my weight was 246 before I started. If this is done, I recommend doctor supervision and no more than one week.

You're body can't live off of protein only

I tried mixing protein and vodka once, does that count? Afterwards, I'm pretty sure I could hear colours.

You're my new favorite person. I cannot stop laughing

Not yet but i know of people using the Adli brand Slim and Trim to loose weight. Just wondering if Whey protien would do the same?

Protein shakes are NOT the same thing as meal replacement shakes.

There are 3 macros....not one. Protein, fat, and carbs. These all have their own functions. Fiber is also important for your colon health.

I eat real food.
