Thread: Would you try liquid diet?

I'm not sure if you've heard that 50 cents used liquid diet and lost over 50 pounds in 2 months. Did you see his latest photo? Apparently, he has a movie role as a cancer patient so from 214 pounds, he dropped from 160 pounds and lost 6 inches from his waist.

Would you try extreme diets to lose weight?

Yeah, I heard about that.. I saw the before and after photos. I barely recognized him. No, I wouldn't try it.. It's not safe to try this diet.

I agree.. I would try it either. I'm wondering though, what's a liquid diet? In my understanding, you only take liquids and absolutely no solid foods. But are there specific liquid foods you need to take or what?

Liquid diet is not for weight loss. this is usually recommended if a patient will undergo a procedure, like colonoscopy. You won't get much nutrients in this diet since you only consule fluid like juices, broth, coffee, teas, etc..

I see...I guess some people might try this for fast weight loss.. For instance they want to lose weight right away for a wedding or for whatever reason.. I don't think anyone would try this long term.

Oh that's right.. My grandfather had this procedure before and he didn't eat any solif food at all for 48 hours, I think. I agree with you kathy.. This might be a quick fix for those who want to a lot of lose weight for a short period of time.
