The doctor told what will happen if you eat only liquids

When you urgently need to get your body in order, many women, and even men, turn to fasting days and various dietary methods. One of the most effective programs is a liquid diet. In just two weeks you can easily lose 10 kilograms of excess weight. Let's figure out what features the system has and how to properly lose weight with it.

General rules

A liquid diet is primarily characterized by maintaining water balance .
In 2 weeks of the system, you can lose up to 10 kg and at the same time you will definitely not experience the main scourge of everyone losing weight - dehydration, which has such unpleasant side effects as depressed mood and fatigue. Usually, if we eat little food, it means there is little water in it. Which, in the end, negatively affects not only your well-being, but also the final results of losing weight. In addition, it is possible to completely stop the weight loss process.

Why is a liquid diet so effective?

• water - not only quickly satisfies hunger due to its volume, but also has its absolute 0 calorie content;
• water helps ensure a normal level or accelerate the process of lipolysis - the breakdown of fats;
• digestion is fast and without residues, which ultimately does not result in subcutaneous fat deposits;
• due to the intake of food with a liquid consistency, it is mainly the urinary organs and liver that work, which leads to a narrowing of the digestive organs and, as a result, long-term preservation of weight loss successes;
• a normal and adequate level of appetite for a healthy person is restored;
• food with a high water content - restores the water-salt balance, helps maintain the overall tone of the body, helps cleanse the intestines, blood vessels and reduces weight.

Eating protein foods

Getting the right amount of protein plays an important role in diets for bedridden people. Proteins “repair” and build body tissue, including muscle tissue. Protein contains basic building blocks known as amino acids. Our body synthesizes all but nine amino acids, which is why they are called essential. The main sources of protein are:

• fish;
• turkey;
• chicken;
• red meat;
• legumes;
• dairy products (milk, yogurt, kefir, cottage cheese);
• eggs.

Daily intake depends primarily on weight, as well as age and the number of calories burned. Typically, the norm for bedridden patients is 1 g per kilogram of body weight. It may be higher (for example, when bedsores form), but you should not eat too much protein, especially if the patient suffers from kidney diseases. Food for bedridden patients should be balanced in proteins, fats and carbohydrates.

Important: if a patient develops bedsores, his body’s need for nutrients becomes even higher. Thus, protein deficiency negatively affects healing. Every day, a wound can lose more than 50 g of protein with exudate. As a result, patients’ need for this substance increases by one and a half to two times.

Authorized Products

The diet should consist mainly of liquid dishes, ranging from fruit and vegetable juices to broths, vegetable soups and drinking yoghurts.

In addition, additional fluid consumption is allowed in the form of simple boiled or still bottled water, compotes, tea and coffee. You can indulge in any sugar-free drink.

This is an excellent system for those who do not like the monotony of the menu, because there are countless recipes for liquid dishes, only the variety of soups is worth it - this includes cabbage soup, borscht, solyanka, and kharcho.

Liquid porridges made from whole grain cereals can be cooked with both milk and water. Muesli can be topped with yogurt and kefir.

For gourmets who are tired of kefir, you can try ayran, whey, skim milk, buttermilk and any fermented milk drinks with bifidobacteria .

Table of permitted products

What can you use?

Drinks and food crushed to a liquid state are allowed. Suitable for this:

• juices;
• dairy and fermented milk drinks (kefir, fermented baked milk, milk);
• vegetable and fruit smoothies (products ground in a blender to a pasty state);
• decoctions of medicinal plants (chamomile, St. John's wort, mint, lemon balm, calendula);
• meat and fish broths.

An important condition: since juices and smoothies are prepared from raw vegetables and fruits, they must be diluted with water by at least 1/3. This reduces the degree of leaching of beneficial minerals from the body, reduces the likelihood of developing flatulence and other gastrointestinal disorders. To prepare broths from meat and fish, low-fat varieties of products are used. The same applies to milk and fermented milk drinks.

Fully or partially limited products

Despite the fact that the drinking diet allows you to drink any drinks - you need to drink tea, coffee and even cocoa without adding sugar, honey or other sweeteners that contain calories.

To achieve maximum results, milk and fermented milk products should be low in fat, just like the meat from which you will prepare broths.

Of course, as in many other diets, you should not eat harmful and high-calorie foods. A liquid diet for weight loss “minus 10 kg” guarantees only if you exclude from the diet:

• smoked meats;
• fried and fatty;
• any hard and dry products, for example, cheese, crackers, cookies;
• muffins;
• alcoholic drinks.

Table of prohibited products

Feeding process, patient position

Bedridden patients are not able to take care of themselves. They need help washing their hands (if this is difficult, then at least disinfect them with special means or napkins). Patients may drop food, so place a tablecloth or towel on the bed before eating. It is necessary to ensure that crumbs do not fall on the bed. They can cause bedsores.

How to feed a bedridden patient? Before starting a meal, he needs to be seated in bed or raised slightly. Feeding while lying down is dangerous because the patient may choke or choke. If it is difficult for him to hold his head, it is necessary to hold it in an upright position.

The spoon should be filled 2/3 full to avoid spilling food. You need to feed slowly. The spoon is first brought to the lower lip so that the patient can smell the dish. As for drinking, if the patient is unable to drink from a cup, you need to use sippy cups or give liquid from a dessert or teaspoon.

Liquid nutrition - what's special?

Liquid nutrition is the second stage of transformation nutrition, which promotes rejuvenation and regeneration of the body! Read the details...

1. What is liquid nutrition? 2. What are the pros and cons of liquid nutrition? 3. Liquid nutrition recipes

What is liquid nutrition?

In the Vedic tales of ancient India, the great sages rishis ate only liquid food. Liquid food is food that should be drunk and not chewed. This is the most subtle and high-frequency nutrition.

Liquid nutrition includes pure water, various dairy products (milk, natural yogurt, kefir, yogurt, liquid sour cream, etc.), natural freshly squeezed juices, various vegetable and fruit smoothies, pureed soups, honey, coconut milk, etc.

There are 2 types of liquid nutrition:

• liquid-coarse (includes pulp of fruits and vegetables)
• liquid-thin (juices only).

Liquid nutrition is most suitable for people engaged in intellectual work that does not require physical exertion.

Liquid nutrition must be accompanied by yoga or qigong and breathing practices!

What are the pros and cons of liquid nutrition?

The benefits of liquid nutrition

Liquid nutrition reduces weight, gives a feeling of lightness, is easily digestible, improves memory and increases the level of intelligence, and slows down all processes in the body (including the aging process).

Cons of liquid nutrition

Diarrhea may occur during the first three days of liquid feeding. During this period, many people feel irritation, anger, hunger, a desire to chew something and severe weakness. However, after three days, the body gets used to liquid food, and these negative manifestations disappear.

Within two weeks, a person fully adapts and gets used to liquid nutrition.

The transition to this type of nutrition should also be carried out gradually! It is possible to completely switch to eating liquid food only within 5-10 years.

Nevertheless, it is useful for every person to arrange periodic fasting “liquid days”. This significantly rejuvenates, gives lightness and cleanses the body well.

Also, when switching to liquid nutrition, it is necessary to take into account the disadvantages inherent in vegetarianism¹ in general. Details here >>>

Liquid nutrition recipes

Liquid nutrition includes, first of all, juices from vegetables and fruits. They are very useful for the human body.

• Natural juices contain a large number of essential macro- and microelements and vitamins.
• Juice-based foods are rich in fructose, enzymes, pectins, and contain structured water necessary for humans.
• Vegetable and fruit juices cleanse blood vessels and blood of cholesterol and other harmful substances.

Drinking such drinks is useful not only for adherents of liquid food, but also for ordinary people, as they have a beneficial effect on the health of the entire body. Freshly squeezed juices have a particularly beneficial effect on the gastrointestinal tract.

If you decide to switch to vegetarian food and liquid nutrition in particular, then it is recommended to start this process with juices.

They will give the necessary boost of energy and make the transition to “new food” easier.

Let's look at the most popular juices that can be prepared at home.

Attention!

The information below does not constitute nutritional advice and is not a substitute for consultation with a dietitian. The nutritional plan should be selected individually by the attending physician or nutritionist. There may be contraindications!

Red beet juice

Red beets have a large amount of iron, which is easily absorbed by our body. Therefore, this juice is very useful for people suffering from anemia. Moreover, beet juice increases the content of red blood cells in human blood, resulting in an increased flow of oxygen to tissues and organs. The large amount of sodium contained in this juice helps remove deposits of calcium salts from the body. Beetroot also has the ability to naturally thin the blood and lower blood pressure.

But you should know that out of habit, even a glass of pure beet juice can provoke nausea, dizziness and vomiting because after taking it, cleansing processes immediately begin in the body, first of all, the lymphoid tissue, gall bladder, kidneys and liver are cleansed.

Therefore, at first it is recommended to dilute beet juice with carrot juice!

This combination of juices is especially useful for women during menopause, as it helps normalize hormonal levels.

By combining beet and carrot juices and coconut milk, you will get a drink that is excellent in its regenerative properties.

The combination of juices from beets, carrots and cucumbers perfectly heals the body, and if you add lemon juice dissolved in one glass of not boiling but hot water to this mixture, you can naturally remove kidney stones. To do this, you need to drink this cocktail three to four times a day. If you have large kidney stones, then significant pain may occur during their removal, but it will last no more than an hour, during which time all the stones will be removed.

Cabbage juice

Juice from fresh cabbage can cure many diseases - duodenal ulcers, tumors of various etiologies, hemorrhoids, inflammation of the gastric and intestinal mucosa. Cabbage juice also helps with respiratory diseases, helps cleanse blood vessels from cholesterol plaques, and helps normalize weight.

Often, when taking cabbage juice, people notice the release of gases.

This indicates that the body is contaminated with toxins, which cabbage juice dissolves and removes from the body. For the best effect in such cases, it is recommended to combine cabbage juice with carrot juice; cleansing enemas are also indicated.

Moreover, cabbage and carrot juice helps improve immunity, as it contains a large amount of vitamin C.

carrot juice

Carrot juice effectively cleanses and heals internal organs, removes toxic substances from the body, and resolves tumors. It contains a large amount of vitamins A, B, C, D, E, carotene and iron.

Carrot juice restores the body's energy balance, normalizes the functioning of the endocrine glands, restores the nervous system, improves immunity, and relieves various inflammatory processes. Due to its high calcium content, carrot juice is recommended for pregnant and lactating women.

Celery juice

Celery is very beneficial for the human body. It contains a large amount of sodium, which does not allow calcium salts to accumulate in the body.

Therefore, the juice from this plant is useful for people who do not adhere to a diet, whose diet includes a large amount of meat, easily digestible high-calorie foods containing large amounts of sugar and various baked goods.

Celery juice thins the blood and cleanses the lymphatic tissues, thus healing the entire body.

It is good to take this juice in extreme heat, as it normalizes body temperature. A mixture of carrot and celery juice can cure various diseases of the circulatory and nervous systems.

Cucumber juice

This juice has excellent diuretic properties, which relieves swelling and helps reduce blood pressure. A large amount of potassium in cucumber juice normalizes heart activity and improves the condition of hair, gums and teeth.

Cucumber juice has long been used for cosmetic purposes - it lightens the skin, eliminates unwanted pigmentation, and helps regulate the activity of the sebaceous glands.

Fresh tomato juice

Tomato juice contains oxalic acid, which helps normalize metabolism. A large amount of elements such as potassium, calcium and sodium contained in tomatoes treat many cardiovascular diseases. However, it is the juice from fresh tomatoes that has beneficial properties.

Boiled tomato juice has the exact opposite effect on the body!

Potato juice

Raw potato juice has a very good effect on all digestive organs. It normalizes acidity and relieves various inflammations of the digestive system. The starch contained in raw potatoes is good for treating burns and various skin diseases, including those of fungal origin.

A mixture of raw potato and carrot juice helps cleanse the body. Cucumber, carrot, celery and potato juices treat disorders of the digestive and nervous systems, stop bleeding, and reduce inflammation.

pumpkin juice

Pumpkin juice normalizes metabolism (therefore it is indicated for people suffering from excess weight and diabetes), treats diseases of the pancreas, relieves inflammation of the genitourinary system, and is used as a medicine for the presence of worms.

Pumpkin juice helps nourish and cleanse the body and is very suitable for people who decide to switch to a liquid diet. Pumpkin juice can be replaced with zucchini juice, since their properties are similar. It is very useful to combine pumpkin juice with other vegetable and fruit juices.

Other Liquid Nutrition Recipes

In addition to the above juices, people who practice liquid nutrition can consume:

• clean water (both cold and hot),
• olive oil,
• heated tomato juice, to which you can add spices,
• fried onions and grated cheese,
• grape and other juices,
• a variety of teas – black, green, herbal,

Features of drinking diets

Losing weight on the water

Probably, not everyone will be able to maintain a diet in which they are allowed to drink only 1.5 liters of still boiled water during the day. This is a complex method of losing weight; it is referred to as fasting. You can stay on this diet for no more than 3 days. It is important not to immediately refuse food, but to prepare in advance: gradually reduce the number of calories eaten.

You can use chicken, beef, fish and vegetable broth. Be sure to prepare it yourself; do not buy ready-made instant broths. It is allowed to add a little salt, parsley, celery, carrots. It is better to avoid onions and peppers, they increase appetite.

The diet will not be effective if you start consuming yoghurts with sweet fillings, fatty kefir and milk. In this case, you are allowed to drink 1% milk. But remember that it is poorly digestible, so it is best to prefer fermented milk products.

It is recommended to pay attention to apple, orange, and grapefruit juice. It is very important to use unsweetened fruits. The best option is grapefruit - it quickly reduces weight. But you need to be extremely careful with him. Citrus fruits are contraindicated for allergy sufferers; they often cause serious allergic reactions.

A good option are teas - black, fruit, herbal, green. Use only high-quality teas without flavorings or other additives. Sugar and honey should not be added to tea. Can't drink unsweetened tea? Add a slice of lemon or add a little milk.

Quitting the diet

You can’t just quit a diet like that. Exiting the diet course involves certain restrictions: it is necessary to exclude solid and high-calorie foods - for another 3 days, consume mainly kefir, liquid cereals and vegetable soups.

Preparing for the diet

Changing your usual diet is always stressful for the body. Therefore, you should prepare for the upcoming diet. Entry into the liquid diet is designed for 3 days. The diet should be designed in such a way as to minimize possible unpleasant symptoms that accompany the transition to liquid food.

Menu table for 3 days:

After following this diet, you can start a diet.

Advantages and disadvantages

Liquid diet: reviews and results

This type of diet, such as a liquid diet, is an excellent diet option for weight loss. The first days are often unusual without solid food, but soon the body gets used to it, and the new diet and diet are easier to tolerate.

Minus 10 kg on a liquid diet is the most common result that can be obtained in 2 weeks of strictly following the diet course and the rules for exiting the diet. The hardest thing is for people who:

• cannot refuse baked goods, sweets and meat;
• do not have time for squeezing juices, preparing and grinding soups;
• cannot often drink low-fat fermented milk drinks.

Reviews from doctors about eating only liquid food indicate that:

• there are too many restrictions and prohibitions in the diet, which can negatively affect health;
• high fluid intake puts additional stress on the kidneys;
• freshly squeezed juices put additional stress on the pancreas;
• prolonged absence of solid and dry food can lead to irreversible disruption of the gastrointestinal tract.

Formula feeding

Some patients suffer from severe dysphagia, i.e. swallowing disorder. In such cases, special mixtures are used for feeding, such as Nutridrink, Nutrizon and Modulen. The doctor should consult caregivers and recommend the most appropriate product (low-calorie or high-calorie, with or without fiber, gluten or lactose, etc.). The mixture can be given from a spoon, in a bottle or sippy cup. In case of very severe dysphagia, unconsciousness, injuries of the esophagus and larynx, stroke and some other situations, feeding of bedridden patients is carried out through a tube.

If the patient can eat regular food, the mixtures can be used as a dietary supplement.
