Can a large base be broken by liquid

Short term fluid loss in a large population may lead to rapid weight loss, but there are risks such as nutritional imbalance and muscle loss. Liquid interruption is suitable as a short-term breakthrough method, which requires a combination of scientific methods such as protein supplementation, electrolyte monitoring, doctor guidance, psychological regulation, and gradual refeeding.

1. Protein supplement:

During the liquid cut-off period, it is necessary to ensure 1.2-1.5 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. You can choose whey protein powder, sugar free soybean milk or collagen peptide. Protein deficiency can lead to a decrease in basal metabolic rate, and muscle loss may account for more than 30% of weight loss.

2. Electrolyte monitoring:

It is recommended to supplement potassium, sodium, and magnesium elements daily, and monitor blood pressure and heart rate. Electrolyte imbalance may cause symptoms such as dizziness and cramps, and in severe cases, lead to arrhythmia. Balance can be maintained through diluted salt water, electrolyte supplements, or bone broth.

3. Doctor's guidance:

Patients with BMI>28 or concomitant chronic diseases require medical supervision. Liquid interruption is prohibited for patients with abnormal liver function and diabetes, and patients with thyroid disease need to adjust the program. It is recommended to undergo weekly blood routine and urine ketone body testing.

4. Psychological regulation:

Fluid deprivation for more than 3 days may trigger a tendency towards binge eating. It is recommended to cooperate with mindfulness diet training and set a deadline of no more than 7 days. Stop immediately when experiencing low mood and lack of attention.

5. Progressive refeeding:

The transition from liquid to semi liquid takes 5-7 days, and the daily intake should not exceed 800 calories. Prefer steamed eggs, oatmeal Congee and other low GI foods to avoid pancreatitis and stomach discomfort. During the refeeding period, the weight rebound should be controlled within 20% of the original weight loss.

The recommended weight loss strategy for the large population is to adopt a step-by-step approach: in the first two weeks, break through the plateau period through fluid interruption, and then switch to a high protein, low-carbon water diet combined with resistance exercise. The daily water intake should reach kg x 30ml of body weight, and the sleep time should be ensured to be at least 7 hours. In the long run, losing 1% of body weight per week is more sustainable, and a decrease in body fat percentage is more important than weight numbers. Regular body composition analysis can be conducted, with a focus on changes in visceral fat and waist to hip ratio. When there are persistent signs of fatigue, menstrual disorders, etc., it is necessary to seek medical attention and adjust the plan in a timely manner.
