Today, I finished up a week of this new "Liquid Foods" diet I learned about from a friend. After a week of denying myself of my favorite foods and eating only non-fat yoghurt and smoothies, I have not only gained 2 pounds, but have diarrhea. Just in time for my anniversary. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I've been trying to make the most out of my short vacation by dieting, by eating a big pot of yogurt with lots of fresh fruit every day. Turns out what I thought was yogurt is actually heavy cream. FML
Today, after I completely starved myself for a week and exercised every day in an attempt to lose weight, I instead gained 5 pounds. FML
Today, after two full months of trying to gain weight, I haven’t gained a single pound. Instead, I now have severe and irreversible digestive problems from overeating. FML
Today, I lost the 5 pounds I had gained over the last few weeks. I had vowed to do whatever it took to lose that weight, and I actually did, when I caught a horrible stomach bug. I'd eat my words, but I'm pretty sure I'd just end up throwing them up. FML
Today, after months of grueling hard work, I'd finally gained five pounds. Too bad I lost it all and then some, due to one good stomach flu. FML
Today, I learned that the vomiting and uncontrollable flatulence I've been suffering from is normal with my new diet. FML
Today, I decided to start eating healthier, so I had fruit and yoghurt for breakfast and a chicken salad for lunch. My stomach violently rejected both meals in a fountain of vomit. I later ate a giant McDonald’s meal with no issue, and felt loads better. FML
Today, after a few months of trying to gain weight due to being severely underweight, I got a stomach flu and lost every single pound I put on, and then some. FML
Today, I finally weighed myself after going on a strict diet of only fruits, vegetables, and coffee. I gained weight. FML
Today, it's been a week since I got a gastric balloon to help me lose weight. On the plus side, I've lost 5kg. On the downside, it's been one week of vomiting, diarrhea, not being able to eat solid food, and stomach cramps so painful that it feels like I'm constantly being stabbed. 15 weeks to go… FML

You should know better than to try fad diets. Most liquid foods are high fat anyway, so it's no wonder you gained weight. As for your diarrhea, what did you expect from not eating any solids?

Did you even bother researching it first? I mean I'm not a health nut, but all yoghurt and smoothies just sounds like a bad idea to begin with.

What higher purpose did that serve? Losing weight, right? So you figured attempting to lose weight by denying yourself actual food was a wise idea... Can you think of a mental disorder where the patients think the same? Not saying you're anorexic, of course, I'm just mentioning a similarity (before anyone chews me to pieces, yes, I do know that anorexia nervosa is a complicated disorder, and not eating for a week in no way amounts to having anorexia). But eating only smoothies and non-fat yoghurt for a week is nowhere near healthy in any kind of perspective - you actually need calories to keep your body going, and you need to eat a variety of different foods to get the right nutrients. Under- and malnutritioning yourself serves no purpose, and will not make you feel cleansed and full of energy. Eating enough healthy foods and exercising regularly will, though. And as others pointed out, it's not even weird you gained weight, the moment your body senses it doesn't get the food it needs, your metabolism slows down.

YDI - How can you NOT know what eating nothing but liquids does?

YDI. Low fat yoghurt and smoothies? You drank nothing but SUGAR! Low fat does not mean LOW SUGAR! Read the labels next time. Oh, and try a green tea and water detox next time before embarking on your next fad diet. Perhaps the Atkins?

If you eat nothing but liquids, of course you're going to have diarrhea! If you want to lose weight watch your calorie intake and exercise.

Fad diets. Ignore them. YDI.

I know it's harder to do, but when you lose weight the healthy way (exercise and good eating habits) you'll feel really good about yourself. No one will be able to call you anorexic or say you haven't earned it, and everyone will be jealous of your ability to reach your goals.

Haven't you heard about that study three years ago where they found that consuming low-fat dairy products leads to infertility? I'd stay away from the low-fat yogurt if I were you.
