Liquid diets utilize drastic
calorie reduction, which is how they work. Nutrition
from liquids is highly customizable in terms of health, taste and
satisfaction.
At liquid-dietweightloss.com you'll get all the facts and help you need
to get the most out of your weight loss efforts. For starters, let's clear
up some myths: Do acai berries/juice help for
weight loss? Do liquid diets cleanse the body?
You'll find
everything you've ever wanted or will ever need to know about liquid
diets here, we also have the how-tos for the best weight loss methods
(based on ease and effectiveness.)
You will lose more
weight by applying the information throughout this site.
Four
basic types of liquid diets:
Juice/smoothies
- You don't even have to use a juicer! A blender and strainer will
usually work fine for juicing. Juice allows for an endless variety of
combinations to create unique and delicious concoctions. There's also a
wide variety of prepackaged smoothies and shakes that are enriched with
additional nutrients available at most retail locations. Health food
stores will be your best bet for finding quality mixes and products.
Also, visit our weight
loss drinks page for some delicious recipes and pre-packaged
drinks!
Meal Replacement
- Rather than using a full liquid diet, replace one or two meals per
day with a liquid option. In this case you will want lunch to be your
'heaviest' meal of the day as that will give you the most time to burn
off the calories you take in. Consuming at least one solid meal during
the day is necessary if you want to incorporate any kind of strenuous
exercise into your plan.
Staggered
- Selecting a certain number of days out of the week to consume liquids
only. Some find it more effective (despite being more restrictive) to
do a number of days in a row. Days on will only permit light exercise
such as a light walk, but your body needs to stay mostly at a state of
rest when applying this method
All Vegetarian -
Consuming meals that contain no animal products. This method excludes
some prepackaged shakes and smoothies
from your diet, somewhat limiting emergency food options. However, if
you plan on creating your own juices or smoothies from organicallygrown
produce, you will still have plenty of variety for your meal options.
You will want to incorporate more vegetables than fruits into your diet
as fruits contain a lot of sugar and vegetables possess better
nutritional properties.
Which
type is right for you?
The easiest to start with is meal replacement. You can switch one meal
a day to a liquid meal and barely even notice the calorie
reduction!(see our weight
loss drinks page for recipes and products)
Many people go from meal replacements to staggered, or even combine
them. A highly combinable diet that goes well with staggerd liquid
diets AND has recieved a lot of praise is J.U.D.D.D.D.
Of course, juice diets are great too, and we have lots of recipes
and a list of products. Unlike staggered which says when to
drink, juice diets say what to drink. While many people on a juice diet
(also called a juice fast) don't consume solids at all though it
doesn't help with weight loss (outside of fewer calories) We recommend
you juice fast on a staggered liquid diet or as a meal replacement, but
not day in day out unless you have a medical reason or you're trying to
win a bet. Full
liquid diets are for medical reasons. The health impact is
too great for mere weight loss.
Welcome to the page that will probably be
responsible for at least 5 pounds of your weight loss. The info is just
that good. Here we’ll be going into low carb weight-loss and comparing
it to low fat weight loss (the traditional approach)...on how to shed
fat and putting the feasability and effectiveness of low carb diets to
the test. (the videos are "which is better" comparisons from news shows)
Low carb
eating plans shed fat quickly but it can be a bit more of a challenge
to keep it off, low fat eating plans on
the other hand, have greater long-term benefits and are easier to
maintain on average. On this website we take an in-depth look at eating
plans in each of these categories. There is no weight loss plan or
program that is perfect for everyone but you'll know the next best
thing after reading this article!
The low carb and low fat diet approach are two of the most common
approaches in regards to weight-loss and dieting. Both of these
approaches refer to important concepts in reducing fat. Low carb
weight-loss limits the intake of bread and other carbohydrates. I will
go into on other pages as to how dieting by not consuming carbs helps
you shed fat.
Finding the right weight loss plan can be
challenging since "right" means right for you, and that involves
knowing what to look for. When choosing a weight loss plan your present
nutritional needs need to be taken into consideration and these aren't
the same for everybody. Depending on your age, fitness and current
dietary habits, your weight loss plan may be anything from a full
regimen of exercises and a low calorie, carb and fat diet to just
relaxing and eating a chicken pot pie. Equilibrium is the key to being
at your target weight and appearance.
Some people go running even though the
excess they have is in the upper body while others do upper body
workouts when they'd benefit most from some squats and leg curls. Its a
matter of habit, and habit can be reinforced by its own consequence. If
you are sitting down at work and using your hands, your arms and upper
body will be stronger. Some might focus on their arms in this case as
it is easier then working something that doesnt get worked at all. So
this is one pitfall to avoid.
The addition of certain supplements will help you remain consistent
with your diet and healthy for the duration. When creating your own
smoothies from selected produce, you may want to add fiber (to help
keep yourself feeling satisfied longer and support digestive function)
and protein supplements (to help build and repair cells, retain muscle,
provide energy, as well as control many of the important processes in
the body related to metabolism).
Whey protein is a naturally complete protein that provides the body
with all of the essential amino acids, and is the perfect addition to a
liquid diet. Many products on the market include this protein and you
can find those and more on our Weight
Loss Drinks page. For vegans, soy, rice, and pea proteins
among others are available.
Get your fiber!
Fiber is necessary to maintain normal
intestinal function. High contents of fiber in the diet also
absorbs more water and help a meal feel larger and linger longer,
aiding in weight loss when coupled with low calorie meals. Soluble
fibers maintain blood sugar by slowing their rate of
absorption.
Liquid diets are a good way to achieve
weight loss in a very specific way. As long as you get soluble fiber,
protein, fats, vitamins and all the essential amino acids you're in
good shape. Don't forget to exercise daily and drink lots of water,
even though you'll be drinking fluids a lot more than normally on many
of the liquid diets.
Push ups are a great way to loose weight in
the upper body, they tone your arms and shoulders, as well as triceps
and chest muscles. Start on the ground with your arms out shoulder
width, hands and toes on the floor. If you have trouble doing these
standard pushups then lower the resistance by kneeling. Slowly lower
the torso to the floor without touching it down, wait one second and
then push your self back up.
There are many kinds of crunches, each
targets a different muscle group. For one of the more basic crunches,
start on your back with your knees bent and your feet planted on the
ground. Have your arms at the sides of your head. Bring your torso
straight up, trying not to bend at the waist much (its not like a sit
up.) Try taking your right elbow to left knee and then switch, taking
your left elbow to the right knee. Your abs should be doing all the
work. They take some time to get used to so though it out and they will
get easier in time.
Start on the edge of something, like a step
or a sturdy stool. With the balls of your feet securely on the edge
slowly raise yourself up on your toes and lower yourself back down. The
reason to do this on an edge is to prevent an easy resting position for
the duration of the exercise. Do several reps, between 20 and 100 at a
time, but try to do as many as you can (without hurting yourself.).
The Squat is great leg workout which works
your hamstrings, quadriceps, and gluteus muscles. With your back
straight, hands at your side and your feet flat on the ground take a
deep breath and slowly bend at the knees lowering your torso straight
down. Pause in the lowered position for one second before slowly
raising your body back up. Exhale and repeat, never coming all the way
up until you have finished.
Pull ups and chin ups require something
sturdy you can grab on to firmly with clearance to lift your body and
head up. Ill use the example of a bar. Grab the bar with your palms
facing inward and slowly lift yourself off of the ground. Go as high as
you can or until you can see over the bar. (Many people have trouble
doing just one, so don't be discouraged if you can't do these at first.)
Here are some more exercises
you can do to supplement a healthy liquid diet or other weight loss
plan.
You can find many more, just doing a google
search with those keywords above.
If you can manage even a moderately easy
exercise regiment with a liquid diet for a short period of time or a
solids-included diet for a long period of time, you'll be doing pretty
well. Remember, if you decide on a liquid cleansing
weight loss plan (or a full liquid diet) make sure you are getting
plenty of fiber, taking a multivitamin and drinking a lot of milk,
(whey protein) or if you cant have milk or whey, some soy, pea or rice
protein. Just make sure you get enough calories to support an exercise
regiment.
