How many shakes should I consume during liquid detox?

Q: hi. I'm sarah. Regarding detox, you mentioned in your blog that we have to consume shake 5 times but in your diary, you only took it 3 times. which one to follow? Thanks.~ source link

A: it depends on what u need. are u ok with just 3 shakes? if u need more.. take more than 3 shakes. u don't need to follow what i do.

the reason why i only took 3 shakes, is bcoz 3 shakes is enough to keep me full. pls adjust to ur needs.

keep in mind that..
- i did my detox after my Day 290-ish, so i am used to taking low calorie meals, so my body won't feel that hungry when doing liquid detox.
* if u're still a beginner in HL, 3 shakes might not enough for detox... feel free to take more than 3 shakes.
- my shakes is double amount.. i always put 3 to 4 scps of F1 per shakes mixed with 400 ml of liquid. so instead of a 90 cals per shakes, mine is 180 cals per shakes.

u can go as high as 1200 calories or more..

let say...
4 F1 + 2 F3 + 400 ml plain water = 220 calories
1200 / 220 = 5 to 6 shakes..

pls take note that u should not do detox more than 3 days (in 6 months). if u want to do more than 3 days, pls consult with ur doctor 1st.

detox are done to cleanse ur intestines, not to lose weight. u shouldn't consume calories below 1200 calories in long periods of time (1-3 days is fine), as it may cause diet plateau + malnutrition + drop in body metabolism.

myfitnesspal.com explained it best :
If you were to consumed below 1200 calories, you are eating too few calories. Not only is it difficult to receive adequate nutrition at these calorie levels, but you could also be putting your body into starvation mode. Starvation mode lowers your metabolism and makes weight loss more difficult. We suggest increasing your calorie consumption to 1,200 calories per day minimum.
