Liquid Diets

Liquid diets are usually a temporary form of diet advised before a surgery takes place. The liquid diets fall in to two categories. One is a low calorie liquid diet and the other a meal replacement liquid diet.

The low calorie liquid diet is practiced under strict medical supervision only. This diet provides on an average about five hundred to eight hundred calories a day. This is normally a short-term diet plan, mostly recommended to those who have serious obesity problems and need to lose a lot of weight in a short span of time.

The meal replacement liquid diet replaces one or two whole meals with liquids. This type of liquid diet is offered to many people as an effective tool to reduce weight.

A liquid diet consists of fresh fruit juices or shakes. They are prepared keeping in mind nutritiously, along with sweeteners, sugar, skimmed milk and a good quantity of fiber, minerals and vitamins. Certain liquid diets also permit the consumption of solid or real food intake in proportional sizes.

There could also be certain disadvantages an individual encounters while on a liquid diet. The person may get very little fiber, and the important antioxidants present in whole fruits and grains may be left out. This will lead to having a low resistance to disease. Moreover, a liquid diet should be under medical supervision only. The weight lost during the intake of a liquid diet is rarely maintained, as such diets do not teach us to eat right long term. An individual should realize, that although liquid diet works, it is not recommended for everyone.

Hurricane Alpha is Coming

So often we look at the past disasters and call them the worst ever in human history, once in a lifetime calamities which can never be topped. Yet these disasters are always topped, in fact so often that it makes you wonder what is next. So far in the 2005 Hurricane Season we have seen Hurricane Katrina the fifth most powerful Hurricane in US History and appears to end up the most expensive too. Then came Rita, oh vrrrita, a beautiful storm from meteorological standpoint and caught all on tape in 4D by NASAs new super computer radar system. She was recorded as the number three most powerful Hurricane in United States History.

Just when you thought it was safe to live next to the water again we have Hurricane Alpha on the way, which in itself makes history as it means we ran out of Hurricane names this 2005 Hurricane Season. But we must not for one-minute laugh about this Hurricane, as it could be an incredible system if it gets into the Gulf of Mexico. The water surface temperatures are still quite warm and that is all we need right now. But Mother Natures records are meant to be broken and break them she will. Could Alpha really be the father of all Hurricanes?

Hurricane Alpha is coming, like it or not is on its way as predicted, lets hope it does not hit those warm waters. Alpha is in the atlantic and Advancing, as he awaits above average ambient atmospheric acclimation. Think on it.
