Liquid Diets

Liquid diets consist primarily of beverages such as juices, broths, milk, and specially formulated liquid nutritional supplements. They are often used temporarily for medical reasons, such as preparing for medical procedures or recovering from surgery, or to manage certain health conditions. Liquid diets provide hydration and some nutrients but usually lack enough fiber and solid foods for long-term nutritional balance. It’s important to follow medical advice when using a liquid diet to ensure proper nutrient intake and avoid deficiencies. These diets are not typically intended for extended use without professional supervision.
