Clear Liquid Diet. Background: A clear liquid diet consists of most liquids you can easily see through like water, broth and plain gelatin. These are liquid at body temperature, easily digested and leave no residue in your intestinal tract. A clear liquid diet should not be continued for more than 3-5 days, as it cannot provide you with adequate calories and nutrients, and should not be tried without physician supervision.

The clear liquid diet provides liquids, sugar, salt, and some nutrients until you can eat solid food.
