Rapid weight loss on a liquid diet is totally possible for anybody not just 50 cent or other celebrities who get paid big money to do it (Renee Zellweger, Tom Hanks, Christian Bale, just to name a few). Bariatric patients, cancer survivors, and others with specific medical conditions have been doing this for years so this isn’t something new.
A liquid diet can work for anybody simply because it creates a drastic calorie deficit that becomes even more drastic when combined with 3 hours of exercise each day (that’s what 50 cent resorted to, in case you missed that part). It works because when you starve and over-exercise your body has no choice but to use all your muscle mass and stored fat just to survive. But as you can see from 50’s pics the result isn’t pretty or very healthy. The good news is there are healthy ways to incorporate a liquid diet into your weight loss plan so you can lose weight faster. The facts, tips, and tricks to get results safely are listed below but are only for those who are truly serious and committed to doing it the right way.
Liquid Diet Facts
A liquid diet can only work if what you drink is nutrient dense. Relying on nutrient deficient drinks and/or meal replacement supplements that are high in sugar or additives (i.e. Hollywood 48 Hour Diet, the Master Cleanse Diet, Slim Fast or V8) will shut down your metabolism in under 48 hours making the weight loss process incredibly difficult and for some impossible. No matter how much you reduce calories, your body still requires nutrients (real food) and not chemicals to burn fat.
According to most doctors a liquids only diet is not suitable long term and will not result in permanent weight loss for most people BUT "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." reports WebMD.
A liquid diet is still a diet and will not teach you how to eat sensibly so you can maintain your weight long long term. You should not try a liquid diet without consulting with your doctor first. You may not want to waste your tie with a liquid diet unless you plan on learning how to live a healthy lifestyle that includes healthy food choices, exercise, and stress reduction strategies. There really is no point in making this kind of sacrifice if you plan on going back to a diet of fast food and junk right after you lose the weight. Ready to get started?
