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.
Tea, Water and Other Beverages. Water is a big component of most diet plans. Liquid diet plans may also include weight loss teas or vitamin-enriched beverages. However, most liquid diet plans advise limiting fluids like tea or coffee in favor of plain water.
