Losing Weight With Liquid Meal Replacement

By Liliana Mills


Dieting has been a source of great headache for many people. It can be difficult to adhere to proper regiments due to the need for a high time commitment and a strict eating guideline. An easy way to go against the flow is with liquid meal replacement.

An amazing benefit for those who try this diet is that it creates an extremely large reduction in calories consumed in a day without removing all necessary vitamins and minerals from a person's diet. The reduction leads to tremendous fat loss and is a boon for many who have tried and failed at other diets.

A diet of this caliber can either be given my a professional or bought from a store. Stores sell hundreds of different kinds of supplements but one should be wary of the vast sum of products available over the counter. Just like all medication, it can be dangerous if taken in a way it was not meant to be taken. Liquid supplements tend to be full of a large sum of different ingredients and should be checked to make sure none of them will spark allergies in the one taking the medication.

It is typically recommended to go the route of having a doctor or dietitian administer the need for diet aids. This way one can be sure that what they are getting is safe and effective and will not conflict with any allergies or current medications.

Eating solid foods is of high recommendation when following a liquid supplementation diet. The solid food will provide any missing vitamins and minerals from the supplements. Not only that but drinking supplements does not sate hunger very well. Solid food will bulk up in the stomach keeping a person full for longer and help to stave hunger cravings. Vegetables, fresh fruits, fish and other lean meats, and yogurts are some suggestions for food to add on to a diet. Fatty and carbohydrate dense foods should be avoided as they can outweigh the benefits of the liquid.

A meal replacement diet should always be accompanied by exercise. Exercise will help to boost the metabolism of the dieter while also increasing his or her overall health. Because of this, it is typically recommended to do a combination of strength and cardio exercises. Muscle burns more calories than fat so strength building comes in handy for creating lean body mass to help turn a person's body into a calorie burning machine.

One should be cautious before jumping into an extreme diet such as this. The amount of calories consumed are far less than what the body usually requires. This results in massive weight loss but can also be dangerous if abused or misused. A doctor would usually be able to recommend a diet and supplement if the subject is brought up. They could also locate a dietitian if needed or desired.

Liquid meal replacement can be a great way to jump start a diet if all else fails. It is best to be careful to make sure all of the safety regulations are followed during a diet but if they are then the benefits received can be vast.
