Question:
Has anyone heard of the 20 pounds in 30 days diet? I caught a little on an ad on TV.?
It was something about a liquid diet, giving your digestive tract a rest. Fresh fruit and vegtables. Any information would be helpful. Thanks

Violet Pearl, they way people eat NOW is not the way people at for 'thousands of years'
thousands of years ago food wasnt full of hormones, pesticides and chemicals, the human body is not meant to absorb all of the stuff it does nowadays and yes because of that, the digestive tract does need a rest...
and if u want to look into history, juice/liquid/water fasts have been around FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS
examples are monks, native indians, buddhists etcetera...which have all been around longer than the three meals a day routine
so yes, liquid diets are fine in moderation but again u should only attempt something like this when u are in touch with ur body and can decipher its signals...ie if ur not feeling refreshed, rejuvenated and energized than u are not eating what is right for your body
for example, some people cant function without meat, i cant function with it...i thrive on fruits and vegetables, i feel bloated, heavy, lethargic when i eat heavy meals such as meat and potatoes or even just chicken...my body craves as natural and light as possible, i react to any processed foods and agricultural byproducts like breads and pastas
now on the other hand, my boyfrined cannot function without heavy carbs and meat, you have to LISTEN TO UR OWN BODY...a fast is meant to enlighten you, to bring u in touch withi ur body, u should feel rejuvinated, energized...if ur lethargic and cant function or feel terrible (after the first few days, u will normally feel under the weather for the first one or two days while ur body cleanses depending on how long u have ate crap for), then quit the fast and resume normal healthy eating habits
document how u feel after each food u eat, u will start to see a cycle, stick to the ones ur body is asking for by feelnig good when it gets it, it doesnt have to be hard, confusing or complicated, ur body is smarter than u give it credit for
so under normal healthy circumstnaces, when u have no health concerns such as diabetes, hypoglycemia, etc...then try it, it can truly be an amazing thing...its all in ur willpower and mindset
