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.

Waxs young,wanes old: Libido "waxes"(pre-menopausally) with lubrication and desire and "wanes" post-menopausally due to a decline of testosterone which comprises 2% of women's natural hormones. Some women never notice any changes in libido as the adrenal glands are the main sources of their testosterone rather than the declining ovary post-menopausally.

Lose weight: Vitamin e has also been shown to help. You do have a risk of gall stones with rapid weight loss. Ironically patients who had some fat when they dieted as opposed to no fat, developed fewer gall stones.
