Have You Tried A Liquid Only Diet?

vinceinalabama · May 2018

All right. Even though everyone is different and we all have different needs I don't think anyone should attempt a 'liquid diet' if they are able to avoid doing so! I hope this isn't TMI for anyone but a strictly liquid diet could possibly cause an individual to have a bad case of diarrhea over time! And diarrhea can seriously dehydrate you!!

My partner just had two teeth removed and so he is on a soft diet. He's not happy and is pretty much starving 24/7... despite adding copius amounts of avocado, butter, and peanut butter to pretty much everything. Watching him go through this has pretty much made me realize that getting wisdom teeth removed sucks for more reasons than just the surgery

everyone is different. when I had my wisdom teeth removed I didnt do the soft diet as I could still eat normally. the surgeon(maxillofacial) said to eat what I wanted within reason and of course if it hurt then scale back to softer things. I had to have mine cut out as they were impacted. my kids had the same issue and had theirs cut out too. same thing they were eating normal foods that evening with no issues stemming from it. I barely had any pain getting mine out. I was taking motrin for the pain instead of the pain pills.

Might want to look into a low-residual diet if GI issues (pretty much a little-no fiber diet) - main advantage in reducing BMs/week; would not recommend a completely liquid diet (unless reasonably necessary temporarily like post wisdom teeth removal, post bariatric surgery, etc.). Once in a blue moon I will do 1 day liquid diet simply from not being hungry but needing to get in kcals (mostly yogurt, cottage cheese, scrambled eggs, etc. - really semi-solid/"liquidy")

Not something to do long term...

Hey all,

So I went liquid only for one day following colonic hydrotherapy as I wanted to ease my digestive system in (vege smoothie, protein and fruit smoothie, vegetable soup and lots of green tea and lemon water).

I could have eaten an entire fridge full come the evening I was so hungry though!

My question is for those of you who have tried,

1- how long did you do the liquids for,
2- what where you consuming, and
3- how did you stop yourself feeling hungry
4- did you feel any health benefits?

All the best fellow fitness friends,

Tiff

I've done a couple 7 day juice fasts. I love it. Feels like a total body reset. Never have any ill side effects and feel full the entire time.

theres a difference between needing to eat a liquid/soft diet for one reason(health issues) and then theres the reason people think it will make weight loss work faster and that its sustainable long term. some think it jumpstarts things and it doesnt. sorry you had cancer but people wanting to do it for weight loss reasons are going about it the wrong way

In the begining I juiced back in 2004 to 2008 and you can see my picture I have posted, I was thin, I was healthy and I was happy, I ran a childcare center and put my 2 kids through college along with my son in law and had a grandchild. All these factors I was moving, I also had a gym in my house that I got up at 4am and exercised and life was good. Just one year out of c-cancer. I have done liquid/soft diets for weight loss and I swear by them.

while I was a young girl in the 7th grade a neighbor Cathy Buttler who had like 7 sisters thin as can be and a brother, They all teased her, the doctors put braces on her teeth and WIRED HER MOUTH SHUT! she had to eat through a straw for 6months. She lost over 100lbs in the 8th grade. She was so nice to everyone but everyone taunted her. I was her only friend. Her sisters who were only like 65lbs those really skinny kids size 0# in pants who was in the 10th grade. Would wave food in front of her face. Her parents sent her off to camp that summer and when she got back she was 135lbs going in the 9th grade. She looked great! May years later I saw her on a talk host show she was 385lbs and sitting on a huge couch. I saw the tears running down her face~

all the diets in the world can not help with you have a broken heart~ When you have been bullied your entire life by family members, school mates or relationships. Once a Horse is broken it is broken, once a Rock is Broken (cracked) no glue in the world will keep that bolder togethter.

I want to be skinny so maybe my own family will notice me again and I will not be the "CANCER" that has invaded their "EYE" IMAGE~ In my own way, a liquid diet with a salid and veggies is a great way to lose weight. I'm not worried about 20yrs down the line. I'm woried about "NEXT YEAR".

I don't do long term diets they are defeting. I do short term monthly diets and I am losing weight and in that I am watching myself change. I have "HOPE", "COURAGE" and when I look in the mirror I don't see a :Stranger: I see "ME"

colonic hydrotherapy, Because of consipation which I have suffered since I was a young child. During my marriage my husband at the time took me to one of these places. It was expensive but for the next year I had no consipation problems. I started to lose weight and feel good. This women made a lot of money for what she cost and her supplys was low in cost. Stick a tube up your wahaa and add oxigen! Let the people float away for the next few hours after they leave the building.

The History of Colon Hydrotherapy. ... Historians tell us that the practice of bowel cleansing was first used by the Egyptians. The Ebers Papyrus of the 14th century B.C. and the Edwin Smith Papyrus (c.1700 B.C.) both mention bowel cleansing and methods used. The value of tissue and body cleansing through colon lavage (irrigation or washing out of an organ) has been practiced for more than three thousand years. As early as 1500 B.C., the 'Ebers Papyrus', an ancient Egyptian medical document, described the many benefits of colon cleansing. In ancient times, the practice of cleansing the colon was administered in a river by using a hollow reed to induce water flow into the rectum.

They use to say it stopped the "CRAZY" in a person, a lot of research has been done and they found that "Women who suffer from Manic Depression, the colon cleaning improved the moods.

Dr. Waddington stated , in his work "Scientific Intestinal Irrigation and Adjuvant Therapy", the following: "Abnormal functioning of the intestinal canal is the precursor of much ill-health, especially of chronic disease. Restoration of physiological intestinal elimination is often the important preliminary to eventual restoration of health in general".

Dr. Wiltsie offers, "our knowledge of the normal and abnormal physiology of the colon and its pathology and management has not kept pace with that of many organ systems of the body. As long as we continue to assume the colon will take care of itself, it's just that long that we will remain in complete ignorance of perhaps the most important source of ill health in the whole body".

I was bullied in school too and also by some of the teachers. I was often even ganged up on not just by girls but by boys too,jumped from behind,beaten on hair pulled. and if you are worried about what your family thinks about you then you need to see someone for some kind of therapy. I dont mean that in a harsh way either. you do not need anyones validation for anything. Diets should have nothing to do with having a broken heart or having issues mentally. thats not a way to fix things with yor mental state.

you need to get your mental state straightened out first before anything else. you need to stop worrying about what others think or see. you have to love yourself first and foremost. the way to lose weight is a calorie deficit and wanting to lose weight so others will see you as something else and trying to have something to prove is not going to go well at all. I have been bullied by family as well. I am about to be 44 and I could give two craps about what they think of me.thats their opinion and I dont need for them to approve of me.

I live my life for ME no one else. and you should not either. you have to have a health relationship with food or its going to be a struggle the rest of your life. its not healthy especially if you arent getting enough fat,protein or calories. DIets cant help with a broken heart the only thing that can help with that is time and learning to deal with your issues and feelings.

also some people bully others because they feel bad about themselves and it makes them feel better to treat others like garbage. it has nothing to do with you. sometimes its due to jealously and wanting to be that person. point is if you think you have to redeem yourself in other peoples eyes then you will never be happy and will always be let down. either they accept you for who you are or they dont. if they cant its time to move on with your life and leave them behind family or not!
