Question:
My local hospital has a medically supervised medifasting/liquid diet for a 12-week period. They state you can lose 40-60 pounds in that 12 weeks. This would be great in getting off half my weight fast, mainly for the purpose of getting me in better shape to exercise more, and also maybe to get me off two hypertensive meds. I'm sure the hospital would give you assistance in maintenance advise, but I'm just wondering how would a person be able to ever maintain that weight loss by taking liquid diet medifast,going back to any food?

Answer:
I'm not sure how it'd affect you personally, but here's they are: 1.) If you're learning how to eat less and exercise more and you weigh 250 pounds and have a bad week and act like someone who weighs 250 pounds, you don't lose weight. No harm no foul and no one notices. But if you're learning how to eat less and exercise more and you suddenly weigh 190 pounds and have a bad week and act like someone who weighs 250 pounds you will GAIN weight. Your confidence will plummet and everyone around you will see your failure. 2.) Fat is metabolically active. It's not just dead weight holding you down, it's important part of your endocrine system. Specifically, estrogen is manufactured in fat cells. It also holds on to a lot of toxins all bound up in storage. When you release fat quickly bad things can (and do) happen. You'll grow beard hairs. Your period might go haywire. You might have weird ailments. Your body can handle getting fat out of storage and starting to use it in small doses, but a sudden onslaught of fat is really hard on your body. I hope this helps. You're not replying to me and I've wondered if you've got me kill-filed.
