Do all liquid diets work?

Question

My aunt had a gastric bypass and she lost 30 lbs but she was on a all liquid diet! So does it work?

Answer 1

not all

Answer 2

Well, I know it works to cut out soda, alcohol, and coffee. Not sure about "liquid diets" though.

Answer 3

yeah, liquid diets work. if you stay on em for a month or more, you'll see results and such. doesn't matter if you work out or not.

Answer 4

NO!

Gastric by-pass is meant to lessen the volume that the stomach could take, which means you get full for the fraction of the amount of food/liquid you take. It works for her because she doesn't have to take as much as you have when you eat, or she takes much less than what she has to to maintain her current weight. The procedure fools your brain to thinking that you are full, but it doesn't fool your body to thinking that it is hungry. Therefore the uses the energy stored in the fat the it currently has.

Answer 5

Liquid diets don't work!

Answer 6

yes, if you'd like to starve yourself and deprive yourself of crucial nutrients your body needs to function properly.

Answer 7

  There is nothing 100% that anything works.  SORRY!

Answer 8

Don't trust every liquid brand but yes it does work. Well happy diet. Try drinking a gallon of water every day. not all at once but little by little so happy dieting! =)  

Answer 9

SOME JUST FOR A SMALL PERIOD OF TIME LIKE TWO WEEKS THE MOST BUT, BASICALLY YOU ARE RETAINING WATER AND AS SOON AS YOU START EATING FOOD, THE FOOD AUTOMATICALLY ENDS UP BEING A BAD FAT SINCE YOUR BODY HAS TO LIVE OFF OF IT AND HASN'T HAD ANY SINCE THE WATER DIET. SO, JUST EXERCISE BECAUSE THERE IS NO EASY WAY TO GET SKINNY UNLESS YOU HURT YOURSELF LOL, DON'T. STAY HEALTHY. HOPE THIS HELPED.

Answer 13

Liquid diets contain a reduced -- and often significantly reduced -- number of calories. If you eat fewer calories than you burn off, you will lose weight. However, that weight loss may be short-lived. When you drastically reduce the amount of calories you consume, your metabolism slows to conserve energy. Unless you change your eating habits, you'll gain back the weight as soon as you return to your old diet.

Some liquid diets work better over the long term than others. Researchers have found that diets that include both food and liquids can help overweight people control the number of calories they eat with liquid meals and help keep the weight off for several years.  

As for the claim by some liquid diets that they can 'detoxify' the system by cleansing it of impurities, there is no evidence to prove it. "The body is a very sophisticated machine that has its own system of detoxifying through the liver and sweat," says Andrea Giancoli, a registered dietitian and spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association.

Answer 14

yes. I had been on black coffee only for a month and lost a ton of weight.

I know it is not very healthy.........

took vitamins too.

But definitely works........once you pass the two or three night with hunger pains.

Be careful though for the hidden calories in liquid diets.........

Your stomach shrinks.

Be careful for the hidden calories though in your liquid diet otherwise it won't work. Sugar, carbo etc...

I know quite a few people who did this so never mind the people who will tell you otherwise.

The danger is.....you do not feel like eating food after a while..so be careful and do not become anorexic.

But yest it certainly works.

Answer 15

A lot of them do.  I just did a three day juice fast (watermelon juice, carrot, beets. I lost like 8 pounds, but ya you have to work out more than useal, and you cant always be drinking, the whole point is to limit yourself  cha thats why its called a fast or a diet!
