Liquid diet

I don't think you are asking the right question. I think the people you need to find are the ones that have been doing it for 3 or more months. Anyone can start any diet. The real test is sticking to it for long enough to get results that are not just water weight.

If you are challenged by hunger on days you do it, it will be really hard to maintain for a long time which is why many people, myself included, think it is a bad idea unless a doctor has ordered it. The exception is religious or meditation purposes for brief periods.

No, and with no desire nor need to either. Sorry.

I agree with this. Surgeons have people do the liquid diet before a weight loss surgery(example : gastric bypass) so that the liver shrinks. Typically liquid diets aren't as filling as whole food so it makes it pretty hard to stick to long term.

Another thing about dieting is not only about weight loss, but how you plan to keep the weight off long term. If you do a liquid diet and plan on going back to whole foods after the liquid diet is done, that's typically when people gain the weight back and even more. I'd suggest finding a diet you wouldn't consider a 'diet', but more of a long term lifestyle change so you can lose the weight and keep it off.

Yea, I drink liquid with my diet. Lol why would you do just a plain liquid diet?
