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.
1 Clear broth. 2  This is one of the best clear liquid diet foods since it can be rather flavorful, if you find the right stuff. 3  These are usually saved for meal times, since they're a bit more substantial than what you'd find in terms of nutritional value on the rest of the list.
