Liquid Diets

Liquid diets are usually a temporary form of diet advised before a surgery takes place. The liquid diets fall in to two categories. One is a low calorie liquid diet and the other a meal replacement liquid diet.
The low calorie liquid diet is practiced under strict medical supervision only. This diet provides on an average about five hundred to eight hundred calories a day. This is normally a short-term diet plan, mostly recommended to those who have serious obesity problems and need to lose a lot of weight in a short span of time.

The meal replacement liquid diet replaces one or two whole meals with liquids. This type of liquid diet is offered to many people as an effective tool to reduce weight.
A liquid diet consists of fresh fruit juices or shakes. They are prepared keeping in mind nutritiously, along with sweeteners, sugar, skimmed milk and a good quantity of fiber, minerals and vitamins. Certain liquid diets also permit the consumption of solid or real food intake in proportional sizes.

There could also be certain disadvantages an individual encounters while on a liquid diet. The person may get very little fiber, and the important antioxidants present in whole fruits and grains may be left out. This will lead to having a low resistance to disease. Moreover, a liquid diet should be under medical supervision only. The weight lost during the intake of a liquid diet is rarely maintained, as such diets do not teach us to eat right long term. An individual should realize, that although liquid diet works, it is not recommended for everyone.

So many people in our country are overweight that the problem has been described as an epidemic. Our modern way of living-- spending lots of time driving and sitting in front of computers-- coupled with the abundance of highly caloric, cheap food, has produced a nation of fatties. The problem shows no sign of abating, and individuals, rather than facing the fact that they need to discipline themselves to eat healthily and exercise, are choosing fad diets to combat the problem. A popular approach has been the liquid diet, in which dieters limit themselves to wacky concoctions such as maple syrup, cayenne, and lemon juice to "burn" fat. Other dieters waste money and compromise their health buying liquid meal replacements in an effort to drop the pounds. Let's examine why these measures are futile.

Weight loss does occur on a liquid diet. The dieter, desperate to believe that she's finally found the secret to losing weight, attributes her weight loss to some magical combination of ingredients. Or she believes the marketing propaganda distributed by the manufacturer of the liquid diet, which says that the product promotes weight loss because it affects hormones or metabolism, or some other nonsense. The fact is, she loses weight because she has restricted calories. When she begins the liquid diet, she's gung-ho and has made a promise to herself that this time, she really will lose weight. So she faithfully follows the guidelines to the diet, forgoing all real food in favor of the meal replacement. Since she's probably consuming about half the calories she needs to be healthy, she does lose some fat and water weight.

Unfortunately for her, there's much more involved in sustained weight loss than downing chalky, pre-packaged shakes for a week or so. The liquid diets don't provide the nutrients her body needs for long-term health and stamina. Soon she'll feel weak and light-headed because she's simply not taking in enough calories, nor is she ingesting the complex mix of nutrients that we all need to be healthy.
Our dieter hasn't learned anything she needs to know to be healthy and fit and to maintain an optimum weight throughout her life. She hasn't learned how to choose a moderate, well balanced menu that includes lean protein, complex carbohydrates, and plenty of produce. She hasn't learned to recognize and satiate hunger with reasonably sized portions of nutritious foods. She hasn't learned that she can occasionally indulge in treats because they taste good and are satisfying. Instead she's taking the all-or-nothing approach which simply is not how our bodies were designed to function.
