When you're on a clear fluid diet, you can have other fluids outside of water.  It'll be easier to follow if you include some variety.  Having a variety of fluids throughout the day can help you manage hunger and any other side effects. Beverages can include:  water (plain, carbonated, or flavored); clear, pulp-free juice (like apple juice); fruit flavored juices; sports drinks; sodas, broth; coffee and tea (without added dairy products). Even when you're on a clear liquid diet, there are a few foods that you can eat.  Eating some of these foods may help you feel a little more satisfied while drinking mostly fluids throughout the day. Foods you can have include:  gelatin, popsicles (without dairy, fruit pieces, chocolate or nuts) and hard candies.  Make sure to include some savory liquids like chicken or beef broth. If you're able to have calorie-containing foods and beverages in your diet, it's important to spread them out throughout the day.  When you're on a clear liquid diet, your overall calories will be low.  This can lead to low blood sugar which may make you feel lightheaded, dizzy, or nauseous. A sample menu of how to lay out your day can be:  Breakfast:  one glass of clear, pulp-free juice (such as apple juice), one cup of coffee or tea without dairy products (sweetener optional), Morning Snack:  one cup of gelatin, Lunch: one cup of broth, one cup of clear, pulp-free juice, Afternoon Snack:  one cup of broth, Dinner: one cup gelatin and one cup of broth, Evening Snack:  one cup of clear, pulp-free juice. If you have diabetes, you'll need to communicate frequently with your physician.  In addition, you should drink enough sweetened beverages throughout the day to get around 135 g of carbohydrate total. When you're following a clear liquid diet you're not able to consume many calories and other nutrients that support physical activity.  If you're normally a very active person, you may need to reduce or restrict the amount of physical activity you typically do.  For example, if you normally run for 45 minutes, you may need to go for a 30 minute walk instead. Light activities like walking and your daily lifestyle activities should still be OK to continue even on a clear liquid diet. If you are feeling overly tired, nauseous or lightheaded during or after physical activity, stop immediately and discontinue exercise while on your clear liquid diet.
