Question by : Starting a vegan liquid diet for weight loss, any tips or suggestions?
I’ve been vegan for a couple years, im 5’1 and 100 lbs. I’d like to loose 5 lbs. I plan to liquid fast for 1-2 weeks. Ive been drinking miso soup, juicing fruits and vegetables, etc. I also plan to buy some super fruit& veggie green powder for drinks. Any ideas on how I can get protein through low calorie liquids other than miso soup?

don’t.
a liquid diet is too low in calories. in fact, it’s deficient in pretty much every kind of nutrient except for carbohydrates, and the juicing helps separate carbs from fiber, fat and other nutrients which ordinarily would slow digestion.
carbs hit your system and spike your insulin. insulin stimulates lipoprotein lipase, which shoves all the sugar you just ate into your fat cells. you will certainly lose weight, but it will all be in your muscles. your metabolism will tank and you’ll feel crappy all the time. when you return to a normal, sane diet, you will regain all the weight you lost as fat, and then some.
seriously, this is a horrible idea and there is no reason to do it.
