A clear liquid diet is a special type of meal plan that consists only of clear liquids, which are completely transparent at room temperature.

Let’s get started!

It is a gentle way to give your digestive tract a break, allowing it to rest and heal while still providing your body with essential nutrients.

TIPS:

1. Drink at least 8 glasses of fluids per day to stay hydrated. 2. Choose beverages that are sugar-free or low in sugar and carbohydrates, such as water, tea, clear juices without pulp, light broth, clear soup and clear gelatin desserts.

TIPS:

1. Avoid carbonated drinks, as they can cause bloating & stomach discomfort. 2. Consider adding supplements with minerals and vitamins to your daily routine to ensure you meet your nutritional needs.
