Weight loss with minimal effort is the dream of many people, some of the least affected by excess weight. Liquid diets are often touted as one of these miracle cures, and allow to lose weight and cleanse the body of toxins.

Liquid diet involves the use of predominantly or exclusively a liquid food. In some embodiments, the liquid is replaced with one or two meals a day (usually breakfast and lunch) - in the rest of the time you eat full, limiting the use of fat and simple carbohydrates. More stringent diets require only the use of water, juices and / or low-fat broth for several days.

The effectiveness of a liquid diet

Any liquid diet reduces, and often quite substantially, the number of calories consumed. As is known, the person loses weight if burns more calories than it consumes. With the severe restrictions, you can quickly lose a fairly large number of extra kilos, but this effect is usually temporary.

Moreover, as soon as people return to the usual diet, the body will start to postpone new fat reserves in case another hunger and lose weight quickly recover.

In addition, to maintain a liquid diet is very difficult. Liquids are processed rapidly in the body and a person can almost always feel hunger. The most effective is considered a liquid diet, which includes solid food. In this mode, the power people lose weight more slowly, but is more likely to retain it when begin to eat normally again.
