The benefits of drinking diet
The main goal of the diet is to reduce the load on the stomach and cleanse the body of toxins and toxins. For the duration of the diet, a person should refuse any solid food that needs to be chewed – that is, all food has a liquid consistency.
In liquid form, food is easier to digest, and the size of the stomach is reduced, which does not allow you to “overeat” with the usual volumes of food immediately after the diet.
With a drinking diet, weight loss is quite fast, and removing the load from the stomach gives ease. A large amount of fluid restores the water balance of the body.
Cons drinking diet
A drinking diet is one of the most difficult, as it is necessary not only to reduce the calorie content of food, but also to go “against nature”. Due to the absence of the usual chewing process, hunger will increase, as there is no habitual feeling that food has been eaten. The likelihood of “breaking loose” and violating the rules of the diet increases.
The first days are possible weakness, irritation and a strong feeling of hunger. Therefore, during the drinking diet, physical activity is usually reduced, since feeling weak during exercise can lead to fainting.
Despite the fact that liquid food reduces the load on the stomach, its effect can also be negative due to the unusual nature of such a diet. Irregular stools, fermentation processes, spasms in the stomach and intestines are possible. There is also an increased load on the kidneys, which have to remove more water than usual.
Menu for 7 days for a drinking diet
All solid foods are excluded, as well as fatty, sweet, and peppery foods. You can tea, coffee without sugar, fresh juices, broths, low-fat dairy and fermented milk products. Soups are added – mashed potatoes, liquid cereals, jelly. The diet per day should not exceed 2 thousand calories.
The first day is the most difficult, strong bouts of hunger are relieved by plenty of drinking water. Throughout the diet you need to drink at least 1,5 liters per day. Porridge can be made with milk, but only fat-free. With strong bouts of hunger, if they are not relieved by a glass of water, you can drink fermented milk products or fruit juices.

The exit from the diet takes about two weeks. During this time, solid light foods gradually replace liquid breakfasts and lunches, and dinners remain the same for seven days, then they are also replaced with the usual menu. Flour, fatty and spicy are still prohibited, and only occasionally begin to be added after two weeks.
The results

Dietitian Reviews
– The drinking diet is really one of the most extreme, because changing the consistency of all food to liquid is an additional stress for the body. During the diet, you need to monitor your condition and in case of ailments: severe fatigue, dizziness, abdominal pain or indigestion, stop the diet. It is worth very carefully leaving the diet so as not to cause problems with the stomach, – says Dilara Akhmetova, consultant nutritionist, nutrition coach.
