Carbs in most liquids is usually sugarish (does not mean table sugar) and it lacks complex or fiberious carbs most of the time.

Hmm.. so they tend to contain simple carbs and thus you don't get you complex carbs. Well that does explain why I tend to crave stuff like raw potatoes and the ilk so often. Or as I tell my sister my body tells me when I need a particular nutrient. Usually cake, ice cream, or other sweets make me sick(probably because my liquids tend to contain all the sugar and that sort of stuff I will ever need) when I think of eating them.

Also there are different types of fiber that work different and when you blend food it ruins the fiber of most food.

Wasn't aware that blending would ruin fiber.... definately interesting(and now I can give a 'good' reason to my mother why I don't like so many foods blended(though that is not cause of fiber, I just don't like mixing my foods, but hey, she won't note the difference )).

Oils like olive oil give good fats, but the fat from milk is just saturated fat; its only intended for calves drinking thier mothers milk, not humans. Saturated fat helps keep calves (and baby humans) warm, they dont particulrly need their omega 3s and 6s.

What about goat milk? I am always told it is healthier.

Anyways I tend to not like fats one way or the other, particually meat fat, I can't stand it .

I'm not saying liquid diets are bad but people should definetely eat solid food aswell when on one. Its very easy to get nutrition from liquid foods but you need the solid food for other reasons and not just nutrition.

Meh I would mostly agree, I just find liquids to be more 'convenient' than solids most of the time so I stick with them for anything but my major meals during the day(1-2 usually once after I wake up and about 4-7 hours before I plan to sleep. Sort of a boost to finish the day in other words).
