Brief Answer:
Extremely unsafe
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
It is extremely unsafe to be on a liquid diet for so long. You stand the risk of
1. severe protein energy malnutrition
2. electrolyte disturbance
3. Weight loss
4. Starvation ketosis
5. Death
I recommend you to avoid fasting for so many days at a stretch as it is unnatural.
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
