Liquid diets: a proven formula for success
Liquid diets have seen a recent increase in
popularity as a fast and effective means to lose weight.
One of the best known liquid diets is offered
by LighterLife, who specialise in clinically supervised weight-loss
and weight-management programmes for men and women with three stone
or more to lose.
How do liquid diets work?
During the weight-loss phase of the programme,
you eat nutritionally complete LighterLife Foodpacks - comprising
soups, shakes and bars. These meet all standards set down by
government experts and regulatory bodies for liquid diets.
On the LighterLife Programme, you will lose your first stone in
around three weeks, and then roughly a further stone every four
weeks. This is achieved by eating four Total Balance Foodpacks a
day, either four sachets or three sachets and a bar, which are
available in various delicious flavours.
Whilst using Foodpacks, you will be taking in
less water than with solid food. Our bodies need water in order to
work properly, so it’s very important when following
very-low-calorie diets that you have sufficient liquid throughout
the day to replace the fluids lost from urine and sweat.
Dehydration can lead to nausea, dizziness, fatigue, headaches, dry
skin and constipation.
Staying hydrated while on a liquid diet
During abstinence, we recommend that you drink
four litres of water (tap water, unflavoured mineral water and soda
water) or black tea and black coffee throughout the day, preferably
in small amounts at regular intervals. Some people on diets can
struggle with taking in enough liquid because they find plain water
unsatisfying in taste. LighterLife water flavours and savoury
drinks are an easy way to add variety.
