Liquid diet : an evergreen that continues to attract despite being disastrous most of the time, especially if it continues for over three days. The actress  Lily James, who now plays Cinderella in a new film , soon also in our cinemas, has made a liquid diet based on centrifuged fruit and vegetables to get into the blue dress of the very squeezed grand ball. Many American actresses, including the everlasting Gwyneth Paltrow, are preaching the benefits of a detox liquid diet.  made of soups, herbal teas and smoothies that allow you to lose three or four kilos in a few days. There are actually other types of liquid diets as well, but the liquid diet of fruits and vegetables, the more traditional juicing, is popular. Even among doctors and dieticians who instead of teaching their patients how to eat well, spend considerable sums to buy liquid-only slimming programs for 3 or 5 days. And unfortunately when I happen to meet them they also boast about it. I’ve never seen them lose a pound. I know dieticians and nutritionists who are obviously overweight, as well as unhappy. Here I explain the reasons why I will never, ever, ever do a liquid diet in life.
LIQUID DIET: CONTRAINDICATIONS
1) The lost kilos recover and the metabolism is lowered:our body is subjected to a lot of stress. On the one hand we are starving it, putting it in a position to consider a liquid diet as a famine, this is because the body does not recognize liquid food as solid. On the other hand, we force him to ingest liters of liquid, which stress the liver and kidneys for different reasons (on the one hand, fiber-free fruit and vegetable juices raise blood sugar and stress the liver; on the other, we risk over-hydrating the body. ). Both of these things translate into a slower metabolism, which as soon as we return to the solid diet will amply recover what is lost.
2) Juices and soups have a higher glycemic index than whole food(of real fruit and real vegetables), fewer fibers, fewer vitamins: therefore more fructose in the blood and fewer nutrients. A big deal!
3) It worsens our intestinal problems, increases our stress, increases our nervous hunger : if you want to gain weight, experience a hunger for sweets or nervous hunger, pass out in the middle of the street, have a slower metabolism, pee five times in an hour and having colic, then the liquid diet is your ideal diet.
