ITV This Morning fans greeted the idea of liquid diets (March 10) with horror after Michael Mosley appeared on the programme to discuss the controversial weight loss technique. The doctor was speaking about the diets after reports emerged that cricketer Shane Warne had been on a liquid diet before he had a fatal heart attack on March 4.
Dr Mosley who sells dietary plans and supplements and has written books on the subject explained that he's a fan of liquid diet replacements, but 'not for every meal'. He claimed that he was able to reverse his type two diabetes ten years ago by going on a liquid diet, losing 10kg and being able to keep it off.
Dr Mosley said: "I am a fan of meal replacement shakes but probably not for every meal. If you're going on simply a meal replacement diet you really ought to speak to your doctor, particularly if you're on any form of medication."
