Question:

I need the recipe for the liquid protein diet. I need the meal plan and ingredients for each meal.?


Answers:

The liquid proteins marketed today appear to be safer than those sold in the 1970's. In 1976, the Food and Drug Administration pulled these products from the market because they were linked with as many as 60 deaths. The old formulas lacked essential complex proteins and amino acids and was found to be deficient in Calcium, Magnesium, Iron, Zinc, Copper, Sodium, Potassium, and everything else you can think of.

Drug companies have come up with better formulas - Optifast, Medifast and HMR are among the most popular - and marketed mainly through hospitals.

You wouldn't be safe to "make your own" liquid protein, since you need to get a balance of proteins, vitamins, and minerals. The diet is simple - you're only consuming the liquid protein on a calorie restricted basis until you've lost the weight. Then you try to introduce real food without gaining everything back (think Oprah).
