I was reading about someone who was diagnosed with small intestine cancer , and one of his symptoms was he would get a lot of pain a few hours after eating, presumably due to have an obstruction, so in order to mitigate this he ate once every 24 hours . He also kept his daily calorie intake up by drinking shakes, yet he still lost 3/lbs a week even though his calorie intake was presumably the same. Some for people with esophagus cancer who go to a liquid diet; they lose so much weight despite consuming unlimited liquid calories. I wonder if liquid diets violate the age-old calorie-in-calorie out maxim. Of course, some of this weight loss is due to the cancer itself, but I wonder how much the liquid diet plays a role in this too....
