What is everyone's opinion on liquid diets? With all those "liquid diet" ads on TV now, I thought maybe it would be good time to get some input from those who have tried these in the past - there also seems to be some new ones out on the market also. Some categories may be: - the best - the worst - most nutritious - fastest weight loss - success stories - not-so-successful stories I just purchased something called, "Twin Fast" from my local GNC store - it claims to be very nutritious - we shall see....you mix this one with water and you have 3 servings of it per day @80 calories plus you eat your main meal in the evening (protein, veg, salad) - I've never done a liquid diet before but I am giving up hope and I don't want to join ANOTHER diet program (where is MY willpower??). The stuff doesn't taste too good though - so I'll probably add some flavoring to it tomorrow - I'll keep you posted regarding my progress. Nancy

| 630.1 | Dynatrim | DPDMAI::HUDDLESTON | Thu Jan 03 1991 15:24 | 15 | |
I dont think they are bad if you have one "regular" meal per day. In
fact I'm thinking about trying Dynatrim because you can make ice cream
out of it. Anyway, there are yuky side affects if you just go solidly
on liquid with no food at all. Constipation is a very unpleasant side
effect, plus having the chills all the time. I just generally didn't
feel healthy and did not lose all that much.
Any more comments from people who have tried this. Are there more
serious side effects? I was planning to take a multi-vitamin with
this.

| 630.2 | Medi-fast ? | MOCA::JOHNSON | Mon Jan 21 1991 17:05 | 5 | |
Can someone give me insight on the MEDI-FAST. How does this diet works?
Is it to be taken with a least one meal or is it a liquid only diet?
Thanx

Has anyone tasted California Slim? It is by far the best 'tasting' of
the Slim Fast, Dynatrim suite....It whips up more like a shake easier
as well...it also is much more loaded in the vitamin area. They even
have MOCHA flavor (a wonderful addition to Chocolate, Vanilla and
Strawberry). I have not used any of these as a "planned" diet -- only
when I'm on the go (or out of food) on the weekends...
