Question 1

is a liquid diet a good diet plan ?

Accepted Answer

Not exclusively: Liquid diet preparations need to contain a balance of the nutrients you need throughout the day. If they do, they are a convenient way to take in a calorie-controlled meal. But its best to also have the fiber/other benefits of food.  Replacing one or at most two meals with a balanced liquid diet can be ok. Danger of all liquid diets: calories too low, lose too fast, metabolism falls, REGAIN!

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Why on a liquid diet: Certainly, some liquids will enhance fullness more than others.  Protein is an important driver of "fullness."  make sure that you are getting adequate protein calories to prevent malnutrition.  Liquids diets should only be undertaken under the advice and care of a physician.

Question 4

losing belly fat for a 42 year old male. hi all,

i am south asian male aged 42 years, of generally good health.

i had belly measurement of 41 inches. after 3 weeks of only liquid diet my belly got reduced to 39 inches. 
next three weeks of liquid diet

Accepted Answer

I : I am assuming that you were on a reduced calorie liquid diet. It can be problematic to do that for six weeks straight. If your caloric intake was too low, your metabolic rate would drop because your body perceived that you were going into starvation mode.  Over time, you body will burn fewer and fewer calories.  As a result, when you resumed a normal diet, because of the lowered metabolic rate you continue to burn fewer calories because your set point is off. At this point, you might want to see a nutritionist to get back to a  more normal metabolic rate. Good luck.

Question 6

i have pancreatitis and in great pain. clear liquid diet for three days. no relief. doc says lipase is normal. why do i hurt?

Accepted Answer

Nerve damage: After pancreatitis, you can end up with a permanent pain syndrome due to damage to the nerve plexus ("solar plexus") near the pancreas, long after the pancreatitis itself heals. It's often brutal and I hope that it can be addressed. There's a new procedure to destroy the pain fibers here using an instrument passed through the stomach. Very high triglycerides can cause pancreatitis -- is this you?
