Fast Diet Program

Dr. Cabot recommends preparing your juices in batches to save time. Typically, one medium size blender will create one batch and provide around four to five servings -- actual serving size will be relative to your caloric intake and needs. Keep batches refrigerated and use as needed. If you have a high daily caloric requirement -- for example higher than 2,500 calories -- you might want to gradually shift from solid foods to liquids in order to prevent your body from going into starvation mode. Instead of jumping right into a liquid diet, try substituting one meal per day until every meal is a liquid meal. Once your meals are all liquid, you can try to go seven days straight on a complete liquid diet. This gives your body time to adjust to the caloric deficit and will help you lose weight more efficiently.

You can use an existing sample liquid diet and modify it to your taste and schedule. For example, at breakfast try having a fruit smoothie with apples, bananas, and berries. For your liquid snack you can try a glass of water with lemon juice and watermelon. For lunch you can go for a vegetable mix of carrots, tomatoes, celery and leeks. For liquid snack you can try heating up your vegetable juice to make a quick soup or make a vegetable broth. For dinner you can make a combination fruit and vegetable smoothie. Sweet vegetables like carrots and beets work the best with fruits. Adjust your juices and calories to taste.
