Do liquid diets work and are they safe?

[Premi]

Anyone tried liquid diet?

Used Huel ?

Personally I cannot manage without chewing actual food, nothing liquid makes me feel 'full' for long. I think chewing is an important part of stimulating digestion also.

Do liquid diets work and are they safe?

Shane Warne, who died from natural causes on Friday, had reportedly been on a liquid diet for 14 days - to try to lose weight quickly.

Days before he died, he tweeted an old photo, saying: "The goal by July is to get back to this shape from a few years ago."

Friends have said it was a regime he had tried several times before, although there is no evidence it was linked to his sudden death.

So how safe are these diets and what is their effect on the body?

There are many different kinds of liquid diets but they all have the same aim - to lose weight quickly by eating fewer calories.

They range from fashionable fruit and vegetable juice drinks that promise to detox and cleanse the body to low-calorie shakes and soups.

But experts warn these extreme diets carry health risks and are unsuitable for most people.

 

The NHS recommends its 800-calories-a-day diet for certain groups only, particularly obese or severely obese people managing type-2 diabetes.

Tried and tested, it comes with lots of support and medical supervision, and contains all the daily nutrients needed - but this is seldom the case with other liquid diets found online.

"Juice diets appeal to people because they want a quick fix - but dieting is really hard," Aisling Pigott, of the British Dietetic Association, says.

"There is a role for them - but it's not one size fits all.

"It's concerning when they are marketed at people who are a healthy weight."

I used to make my own. It was olive oil, hemp seed, honey, flax, milk, and protein powder. But that wasn't liquid dieting it was a liquid diet. I started off with the bar for nutrients set really high, beyond daily needs, then filled in the ingredients until it had all the nutrients I wanted. Based on the concept of mana.

Though you didn't believe the hype about protein in diet ?

How did you find living on the diet ?

Felt great. I don't believe the hype that you need meat for protein. One the shake proved that and two it was probably overkill. I was also training on the mat six seven days a week and running about 40 miles. The protein powder was pea protein and heavily vitamin fortified.

What I don't agree with is physically untaxed people saying "I could never be a vegetarian, I just neeed the protein" No...you need to eat a vegetable and work towards touching your toes.

Not really. I noticed many Sikhs are lacto veg not lacto ovo veg. I don't have a giant stand on eggs except they be cruelty free or home raised if possible.

Outdoors. When my knees hurt I started running less distance and more speed. In intervals. Shoes are important for me too. They have to be minimal flats. No heel.

For most runners its itbs. Iliotibial band sybdrome aka runners knee. It's postural, and muscle dysfunction. Great nuttients, that can be it too,.

I think it’s something like that. Seen physio in the past

I’m susceptible to knee problems, it’s common on my Mum’s side of the family 

need to restart the physio exercises although they are quite boring !

ive got some trochanter irritation  now recently also

Thats right where your iliotibial band is, and your tfl.. And once one things hurts, you compensate and hurt everything else. The piriformis shortens from sitting in chairs, and driving primarily, but among other things. And I mean shortens semi to permanently, and once short, the it band locks up, and then heres the best part, it keeps your kneecap from tracking correctly, and from sliding around as it is supposed to, and instead pins it in a position where it wears on your tendons, and by wears on I mean basically cuts like a bone knife. 

The treatment regimen is pretty...comprehensive but that piriformis is the main kicker, and it can be stretched sitting like the Gurus, in lotus, which is actually far superior to the figure four stretch that western doctors recommend. 

In fact I never fully got rid of it, and trained in pain and enjoyed numbness for ...a decade...until I started sitting lotus, which in Aikido we call agura, coincidence?, And doing Simran. Naam Simran and Bhagti have finally healed some injuries and dysfunctions I lived and trained with for a long time. ...that and begging the Guru Sahiban and Guru Har Krishan Dev Ji specifically. Which I've done now several times fo a few issues. 

[GurjantGnostic]

Stay out of chairs, if in a chair sit all the way forward, or all the way at the back, or lay back and totally relax like you're in recliner. Driving, meditate a moment, get your seat set perfectly, then rlelease your head to Guru Ji and once your head is in the best, most up and aware position, then adjust the rear view, so it looks the best when your posture is the best and thus without intending you'll sit with the better posture to see. Legs should feel fifty fifty balanced, no shortened hip socket on either side. Arms extended as if pushing something, better at 4 and 8 oclocks then 10 and 2 but either way elbows relaxed down. 

Walk a lot. Park as far away as possible. Use public transit. 

At home, if not everywhere sit in the ground. Chair in your house? Nope. That's a table now. Enjoy.

Vulture necking, squinty screen face, slouchy keyboard shoulders another big set of dysfunction to stay aware of. Carpal tunnel and shit vision are the fruits of that. 

 

[GurjantGnostic]

Tldr ...hrmmm...western culture has made you a tight ass.....only sitting like the Guru Sahiban and Praying to the Guru Sahiban helps...and ummm... it's very painful. And it's just one of many ways that westernity is destroying your mind and body. Good times.
