Liquid Diets Are Not Good For Weight Loss

By Walter Marsaki

Many people wonder about liquid diets in order to lose weight. Want to know the truth about them?

Just taking liquid diets for many days is absolutely unhealthy habit. You expect rapid weight loss based on just liquid diets, but you forget that you will lose muscles mass when you go for such dieting.

Your body will not get sufficient amount of energy to carry on all its operations. Do you know what will happen in such cases?

The body will not have any other option but to burn fat first and then the muscles in order to get energy. So you will lose muscles.

When you start eating solid food again, your body is likely to gain back the weight again which it lost. However, the muscles are not so easy to gain back.

In order to gain back the lost muscles, you have to do regular exercises. When you lose muscles, your body becomes weak.

Muscle loss equals weakness. So you will be doing more harm to your body in the long run by embarking on liquid diets.

You will get very low amount of calories from liquid diets - in the range of 400 to 800 calories per day. Most people are not accustomed to such low calorie intake.

You may get other side effects by suddenly reducing calories so much. It is far better to take a slow and steady approach instead of attempting to lose weight overnight.

The major problems of liquid diets which we discussed above are as follows - muscle tissue loss, body weakness, difficulty in keeping the weight off, drastic reduction in calories.

Remember that you cannot continue liquid diets forever. Once you start solid foods, it can get pretty difficult to maintain the weight loss. The weight is likely to come back. As such, liquid dieting is a temporary solution.

Once you call off the diet, you have high chances of gaining back atleast some of the weight you lost. However, sometimes you might gain back more weight than your original one.

Liquid dieting as such can cause muscle loss and only very little fat loss. Your metabolism rate may also drop as a result of it.

One thing you have to be careful about is that you should not continue liquid diets for may days. Otherwise you may face serious health problems.

For example, prolonged use of liquid diets can cause kidney and lung problems, and may weaken your immune system. Lungs and kidneys are 2 major and very important organs of your body.

Would you like to cause damage to them because of your haste to lose a few pounds? It is far better to approach weight loss through healthy means.

Final verdict is that liquid dieting is not a good option for long term weight loss. It is best not to try it out as a means of rapid weight loss. - 17273
