Liquid Diets For Different Reasons

Liquid diets is a broad category of diets that can be used for a number of different reasons.

In essence, it means any diet which replaces regular meals of solid foods, with fluid drinks. For many medical procedures it is helpful, or even necessary, that patients consume only liquids before or after the operation.

People also consume only liquids during periods of fasting. When a person is diagnosed as seriously obese, a physician may decide that he or she should undergo a medically observed weight loss program, like Optifast.

There are also several programs like Slim Fast, that mimic the medically-observed programs, but in a less severe way that can be followed without supervision.
