I had not seen my close friend in about 18 months. She has undergone a drastic change both physically and mentally. She went on a liquid diet and have lost more then 150 lbs. she exercised and ate an extremely low amount of calories. She’s a type 2 diabetic. She used herbal supplements from GNC (weight loss), exercised, took vitamins, took metformin (insulin stablizer) and is now pregnant as a resutl Im so proud of her. She said lost 152 lbs in 14 months and is 6 weeks pregnant. Is she in danger of putting the weight back on or can she continue with a low carb diet and still have a healthy baby? Opinions Please.
Hi ,
I have a big experience of Liquid diets as many years a go i began to starve my self and live on liquid food, soups and pureed foods. They hold less calories as they tend to be veg and fruits.
While yes it is a bonus to loose weight this way , long term the effects can be drastic. And your body also goes in to starvation mode which i did find out about.
I dont have Diabetes but my nan did and i watched her weight go up and down. I have heard the low gi diet is a good one for people with diabetes as it does help curb your cravings. Well it worked for me.
Secondly, i dont know what level of fitness you are but exercise does work. You can eat that extra if you exercise and for every pound of fat that turns to muscle you burn more calories.
If you are oout of shape and find it hard to exercise look out for Callnetics. Callan Pitney. Brilliant . Gentle but effective and does work quick. Ebay sells the dvd for a few quid.
I do hope this helps.
