Liquid food is suitable for critically ill patients who are extremely weak and unable to chew food. Such as high fever, oral cavity, cheek, before and after operation, acute gastroenteritis, esophageal stenosis and other diseases. This diet can only be used as a transitional diet for a short time. Because the supply of nutrients is insufficient.

Liushi lose weight

According to the same weight, the calorie of porridge is definitely lower than that of rice. Because the water content of porridge will be much higher. A kilo of rice needs 1.3 times of water for cooking, and 8 times of water for cooking thick porridge. A bowl of leftover rice can be boiled into 3-4 bowls of thick porridge with water. But after eating three bowls of porridge, the satiety will be much higher than that of 1 bowl of rice, because the water temporarily fills the stomach. You know, water can only take up volume, and it doesn't contain energy at all. It is impossible for people to gain weight. Even preserved egg lean porridge with some animal food is low-fat food after all, so eating a bowl of preserved egg lean porridge is still lower in energy than eating a bowl of rice with the same weight.

For fruits and vegetables, eating fruit juice will reduce satiety. If you want to control your weight with fruit, you must eat the whole fruit to feel full. Drinking fruit juice always gives people the feeling of drinking water, in fact, drinking a lot of sugar.

However, for the same starch staple food, making liquid food is definitely better than eating solid food to lose weight. The same 50 grams of coarse grains, made into liquid thick porridge, will not only be five times larger than dry rice, but also have high digestion and absorption rate.

Besides coarse grains and beans, there are two star-rated foods-milk and soybean milk-which are good for losing weight. Although it is liquid, it can relieve hunger quite well and keep full for a long time, and the effect is incomparable to rice porridge.

There is a milk diet that has been circulating abroad for decades, that is, drinking only milk for a month and drinking 4 kilograms of milk every day. Even so, the daily energy is only 1200 calories, which is about 1000 calories less than normal meals, so it will obviously become thinner. The research in our laboratory found that soybean milk has a stronger satiety than milk at the same energy level. Therefore, dieters might as well drink a cup of soybean milk when they are hungry, which will make them feel comfortable and get low energy.

Eating liquid food every day, nutrition is really difficult to reach the standard. Drinking rice porridge every day will inevitably lead to malnutrition, protein and essential fatty acids are seriously lacking, and all B vitamins, vitamin C and vitamin ADEK13 vitamins are indispensable. There is no shortage of minerals. Drink only vegetable soup and juice every day. Vitamin c may meet the standard, but other vitamins will be lacking. Only potassium in minerals can meet the standard, and others are seriously insufficient. If you insist on drinking rice porridge or vegetable soup with fruit juice for a month or two, you will definitely suffer from energy malnutrition and edema in protein, which is the kind of disease that "big-headed doll" has.

To put it bluntly, milk has the highest nutritional value among liquid foods. Drinking 4 kg of milk every day, protein can barely reach the standard, because the protein utilization efficiency of milk is very high. B vitamins and vitamin AD can basically ensure that calcium, potassium, magnesium and other elements are sufficient, and sodium is not seriously lacking. However, this method also has shortcomings, that is, it is difficult to fully promote intestinal peristalsis, which is easy to cause constipation, and vitamin C and iron need to be supplemented at the same time.

Drinking soybean milk alone is not as good as milk, because it does not contain vitamin AD and its calcium content is much lower. If you don't add some salt, sodium is also seriously insufficient. Soymilk contains some anti-nutritional substances, so the absorption and utilization rate of minerals is not as good as milk. If you eat bean dregs, it will not cause constipation, but it will lead to abdominal distension and flatulence.

It is ok to eat only liquid food one day in a week, but if you increase the frequency, more than twice a week, you must not just drink porridge or soybean milk, but must cooperate with vegetables, bean products, meat and so on.

Personally, I suggest that the concept of liquid diet should be included in the normal diet. For example, if you drink porridge or whole-grain soybean milk every night as a staple food, you won't eat dry food such as rice and steamed bread. At the same time, cook/scald/cold vegetables with less oil, and add a small amount of bean products or milk. This will not lead to malnutrition, but also easy to control weight.

In fact, for coarse grains, it is very suitable for making coarse grain porridge or coarse grain soybean milk, which is not only a liquid food, but also can improve the taste and help people consume more fiber and minerals. Using eight-treasure porridge made of coarse grains and beans as the staple food for dinner, instead of eating sesame cakes, thousand-layer cakes, steamed bread, flower rolls, bread and other staple foods with low water content and salt, can not only reduce energy, but also reduce nutrition and satiety, thus preventing obesity or losing weight easily.
