 Since
solid diet supposedly increases weight because one tends to overeat
with it, so overweight people prefer to go for liquid diet to achieve
weight loss.
Since one can have nutritious liquid drinks as food, one can have
widely improved health because of reduced health risks. When normal
body weight is maintained, life expectancy can increase by 3 years and
incidences of coronary heart disease also will fall
One
needs to shake off 3500 calories to lose a pound, and liquid diets
provide only 400-800 claries per day, consisting of high protein, the
body starts burning the accumulated fats. One can say that the liquid
diets are effective because, the person is almost removed from eating
food. Low energy may result, but it also causes weight loss.
Liquid diet programs such as Medifast ssrequires being under liquid
diet for 3 months, with 3 step diet method consisting of dietary
change, exercise, and behavioral modification.
Liquid diets have come a long way in its quality which now contain
protein, carbohydrate, fat, vitamin, and mineral supplements and 36%
fiber which is capable of cleansing the digestive tract, aids in the
absorption of fats, and provides a content feeling of fullness. Other
constituents are 18 amino acids.
Medifast Liquid diets are effective in case of a highly motivated and
disciplined person who can show the improvement within weeks which is
healthy also. Healthy people show decreased blood lipids, blood sugars,
and blood pressure.
Liquid diet keeps the weight off which may be regained back. But
combining with exercise, and behavioral modification classes, this
craving for food may be altered.
Risks about liquid diet includes that lean muscles are over used and
metabolism is slowed down. This may lead to muscle cramps, anemia,
dizziness, menstrual abnormality, and constipation. Losing lean body
mass increases risk of cardiac dysfunctions.
Liquid diets are often unable to contract bile which causes gallstones
to develop.
Some studies show that after the initial loss, the weight gets
constant. Obese patients do lose considerable amount of weight, but one
should be strictly under medical vigil. In their impatience and over
enthusiasm patients tend to misuse the liquid diet which may end up in
health risks.
The best way to maintain diet is to eat less of one's regular diet
which is risk free. Liquid diet will prove to cause dangerous side
effects with the patient going overboard. Obese people often have a low
self-esteem because of their looks and they are convinced that their
outer look may get improved with weight loss.
Excess weight is a concern for health, but losing weight
unscientifically without doctor's guidance is the most foolish things
to do on earth. An obese person can overindulge but, it can be a matter
of concern for fairly healthy people.
