Can I do a liquid diet for 2 months?

You should never follow an all-liquid diet for longer than 14 days as doing so can lead to serious health risks and nutrient deficiencies. A liquid diet that lasts any longer than a few days is generally not recommended unless prescribed by a doctor. The risks of extending this diet are covered in more detail in our blog – 7-Day Liquid Diet .

Is yogurt good on a full liquid diet?

Yes, yogurt is a good option on a full liquid diet. It’s a good source of protein and can provide some variety in your meal plan. However, it’s important to choose plain or low-sugar options rather than flavored yogurts that may contain added sugars and calories. There’s some controversy surrounding whether yogurt is actually a liquid, as it can contain solid pieces of fruit or bits of granola. However, it’s best to choose a thinner, more liquid-based yogurt without fruit or other additives. Our Clear Liquid Diet guide clarifies which liquids are allowed and which you should avoid.

Why am I gaining weight on a liquid diet?

You’re gaining weight on a liquid diet because you’re consuming more calories than your body needs or you’re consuming too many high-sugar liquids. A common misconception is that by cutting out solid foods, you’ll automatically reduce your calorie intake and lose weight, but this isn’t always the case. The absence of fiber, which increases satiety and helps regulate blood sugar levels, can lead to overeating and weight gain.
