    But some experts say that you should chew your food until it is liquid before you swallow it. So the stomach should have no problem with liquid food. I'm curious about the liquid diet that you were on, and why it was so awful.

    I know from making my own protein smoothies, that if you include enough protein, fiber and fat in the smoothie, it can actually keep you feeling full for a while. If done right, a balanced liquid food would be just the same as a balanced solid diet, but the work that your teeth would do in turning it into liquid has already been done for you.

    Although it does raise the question of what would happen to us in evolutionary terms if we all had liquid diets. Would be evolve into beings that were unable to chew food properly?
