Liquid diet

amberellen12 · December 2018

To all the wooer’s I think I’d rather see someone try juicing first before they do gastric surgery.

If for them it works good for them. To each their own.

In the film Fat Sick and Nearly Dead, Joe... I forget his last name drank just fresh vegetable juices that he juice for thirty days to reverse his illness. There’s web sites and utubes about it. Some people do it even longer than thirty days.

I guess to jump start but I could never do it. I like my food too much. I want a life style that I can maintain.

what proof was there that he reversed his illness and what was his illness? Im not going to watch it.

guess not just not going to waste my time with propganda bs with no scientific backing I guess. I also looked it up and it doesnt say what his autoimmune issue was and that he lost weight. the weight alone being lost can reverse many illnesses its not the liquid diet its the calorie deficit causing the weight loss.

This "documentary" is biased BS and an N=1 is not at all scientific or a decent study. It should not be taken as proof on anything.

When the Fat Sick and Nearly Dead guy started eating solid food again he gained the weight back ... and got a second documentary out of it.

I did see the movie and did find it inspirational, but I've juiced before and know my body doesn't react well to a big hit of sugar with essentially no fiber, fat, and protein.

I do have fruit and veggie smoothies half the year, but they have fiber and I add protein powder and fat.

I've done it this year partially by replacing 1-2 meals a day and I've kept my weight off and I'm still losing weight even though I've given the liquid diet a break for now. I will be back at it in January.

I've lost 30 lbs incorporating liquid diet into my lifestyle. Its not true you will gain weight once you stop. You only gain if you increase your calories no matter what you eat.

Best of luck you can do this, just make sure your intake is well balanced nutrition wise.

For some people, like those with crohn's disease, ostomy tube, gastroparesis (that's me), or who have recently had surgery, a liquid diet or low residue diet may be their only choice. Please don't criticize them. The advice was just asked, not a request for "do you want to go on a liquid diet" . So to the original poster, I will say this: try several different brands until you find one that works for you. That you can drink without becoming nauseous, that doesn't cause a spike in blood glucose, that is nutrient dense but not necessarily calorie dense, and that you can afford. If you are having to take this for medical reasons, it is likely your doctor can write you a prescription for it, and your health insurance will pay for part of the cost. What works for me is glucerna, carnation instant breakfast sugar free, atkins shakes, and protein power (but you have to be careful with that one, as too much protein is very bad for the kidneys). I hope that helps. If I can help further, please send me a message.

I actually very specifically touched on the fact that there could be a medical reason to be on a liquid diet. Hence the, "unless your doctor has prescribed this for you" sort of language.

I went on a liquid diet once.

But that was because the swim up bar only served cocktails and I wasn't getting out of the pool just to get food.

But for somebody very obese those are hardly the only two available choices.

And nothing to suggest OP is considering gastric surgery anyway.

Nope not on a liquid diet. Never tried it and dont fancy trying it

Without medical supervision this seems like a bad idea if you are looking at this for weight loss. I do have a friend that was successful at a hospital supervised plan that included 3 weeks of a prescribed liquid diet. She obtained the shakes from the hospital and there was regular medical supervision on the plan. She stated that the liquid diet helped her lose cravings for foods. Once the three weeks were over she was on regular food with prescribed calorie goals and an emphasis on Whole Foods. While I think there are times this may be appropriate, I personally doubt it’s appropriate for most people. And I highly recommend talking to your doctor before trying anything this drastic.
