Best Liquid Diet Program to Lose 20 lbs
Dear Editor,
Can you tell me
the best liquid diet program to lose 20 lbs? I
need to lose weight fast and I need a sure way
to get the pounds off. Somehow, I can’t seem to
stick to a normal diet to lose weight. Either I
can’t seem to stay on it or I don’t get any
results. Please suggest the best program for a
liquid diet.
Amy
Dear Amy,
The best approach
to a
liquid diet program is to use protein shakes
along with regular food. If you want to go on a
strict liquid diet, I only suggest that you stay
on it for 3 days to help cleanse your body and
get you use to reducing total calorie intake.
Be sure to drink
at least 64 ounces of water each day and take a
daily vitamin supplement, preferably in liquid
form because liquid vitamins are better
absorbed.
During the first 3
days, drink 4 protein shakes per day for a total
of 800 calories. After day 3, drink a protein
shake for mid morning and mid afternoon
snack. Breakfast should consist of whole grain
cereal with a fruit and dinner consist of a lean
meat such as grilled / baked chicken breast,
lean steak, lean pork chop or turkey breast with
one or two vegetables.
Consistency is the
key to losing weight. The first 3 days of "liquid
only" will help train your appetite for the next
6 to 10 weeks. After day 3, your total calorie
intake should increase to 1200 - 1400 calories for women
and 1600 to 1800 calories for men.
To make your
liquid protein shake, I suggest the following:
-
2 scoops of
whey protein powder
-
8 ounces of
cold low fat milk, preferably un-sweeten soy
milk
-
5 packets of
Splenda
-
4 ice cubes
Place content in
blender and blend on high for 45 seconds to 1
minute. The content will taste like a thick milk
shake.
This method will
help you lose 1 to 2 lbs per week until you get
to your target weight.
