Clare Henney: Liquid Diet Rut

10:02 PM | | Posted by Clare Henney

I knew that I was doing it completely wrong but I did it anyway.

I went on a self-imposed liquid diet today.  It was on a whim and I didn’t really do any research on it.  All I did was decide that I would not eat anything solid and that I’d stay away from soda.

This morning I had my coffee and then some soup.  This was followed by even more soup for lunch and 250 ml of juice.  By the time the day was over I felt weak already because I wasn’t used to eating so little when I had a packed work day.  Someone needs to remind me to do this when all I have to do is sit at home all day. This “diet” lasted until 6PM, when I gave in to have a small portion of light pasta that my sister made.  Hopefully that didn’t waste the entire day’s efforts.  At the very least I have stuck to my minimum calorie intake for the day so I think that’s good.

I plan on doing this all over again tomorrow.  Hopefully I won’t faint on anyone or anything like that.  I don’t recommend this to anyone, it’s just something I feel like doing and I’m pretty sure you need a doctor to make sure you do it right.  

I’ve read a lot about how liquid diets can help with weight loss.  I just hope that this will help me lose some of the weight that just keeps hanging there and refuses to let go.

If anyone out there knows more about liquid diets than I do please feel free to share your experiences and tips on it!
