I do not recommend the all liquid diet as a weight loss system, but the weight loss does help with staying true to the task.
I know that there are some people whom glance at my blog to see how much weight I'm losing on the liquid diet - the answer is a lot and the weight is melting off. I'm actually working out less than I typically do. I'm an active guy and still stay busy but the time I typically use to work out is being taken by blogging.
If I wanted to glorify what I was doing I'd tell people that for 44-Days I get to drink all the milkshakes and beer that I want and I'll lose about 25 lbs. But the liquid diet is a miserable diet. I'm always hungry, always short tempted and never full.
On the liquid diet the weight loss works like things:
- Days 1-3: Lack of solid and overall food accounts for the drop in a few lbs
- Days 4-5: Body is super hungry, temper is short, and a pound or two of real weight is gone
- Days 6-7: Body has almost adjusted to all liquids but first it wants to cleanse its colon and a few more pounds are lost in an unpleasant method through the backside. Additionally, another real pound or so is gone
- Days 8-10: Body has fully adjusted to the liquid diet and drop in calories, excess fat is now burned for energy
- Days 10+: Body starts to burn about three pounds of weight every five-days
At Day-20 I'm down 13lbs. Based on my previous experiences and how I see the trend, I'll lose another 12lbs by the time I eat solid foods again.
Like I said, I don't recommend this as a diet system and other than Lent I don't partake in a liquid diet. I don't think I'd make it 44-Days without any solid food without the added bonus of dropping some unneeded body fat.
My journey continues.
Started the day at 196 LBS.
