Hypothetically speaking, if you liquefied all your meals, would you lose weight quicker, or would it be just the same amount of time?

Well, technically speaking, drinking meals (substituting 2 of your 3 meals each day with a juice-type drink) really does work great for energy, weight, calories, and even things like carb intake, cholesterol too! Get a really good juicer (Jack La Lanne makes a good one) and make yourself juice drinks, both fruit and vegetable. It really tastes good, fills you up, and you will see a difference! Best wishes =)

Liquifying food doesn't make them less calories, it just makes them easier to digest - or rather, the digestion system has to do a lot less work. I wonder if that would significantly burn less calories. Certainly over time it might make it hard to you to digest solids, I would think.
Now I have started a kind of smoothie diet recently where for lunch I have a handful of spinach, a couple baby carrots, some pineapple, vanilla rice milk, frozen mango and frozen peaches blended together in a drink. I expect this to help me lose weight, since I am trading in my usual Cheeseburger with Extra Cheese on a bun, for this "smoothie" plus I am getting more vitamins. That is certainly different than if I liquified my burger and bun.
Peace!

If you don't chew the food ( because it is liquefied) aren't you using FEWER calories? So loosing weight might take a little longer.
The calories in the food aren't going to be affected, but how much work you/your body does to digest the food might well be different.

you would lose weight slower
you body wants to liquify those foods itself ...thats what digestive enzymes are for...plus the process burns calories .
There is a school of thought that says if those digestive juices and enymes cannot work on your food , they can work on your body...arthritis, ulcers, etc.

It is still gonna have the same amount if nutrients/calories that it had before it was liquified. So doing this is not gonna speed up your time it takes to lose weight.

Not sure, but if you are on to something about losing weight, let me know. Somehow I doubt you would lose weight though because like the person above said....the calories are there if they are mushed or not.

I don't think it really matters, but that's so nasty liquid food *shudder*

It would be a lot less chewing but I would think it would the same.
