Clear Liquid diet plan

As the name suggests, a clear liquid diet is free of fragments of foods and fiber or any sort. These diet plans contains liquids such as plain water and broths which do not provide any residue or fiber and can be digested very easily. Clear liquid diet items are hence always strained before they can be consumed.

Following are some items that can be included in a clear liquid diet plan.

  • Water (plain, carbonated or flavored)
  • Strained coconut water
  • Gelatin water (strained)
  • Strained fruit juices (no pulp) (ex- orange , pineapple, sweet lime, melons etc )
  • Strained lemonades with sugar , salt and pepper
  • Black tea with or without lemon or peach flavored
  • Black coffee with or without added cinnamon powder
  • Vegetable broths and consomme (veggies cut and boiled in water )
  • Strained vegetable juices Like that of cucumber , carrots and tomatoes
  • Sports drinks without preservatives
  • Ice pops and ice- creams (candy based ice cream without any cream and milk)

Liquid diet plan

A full liquid diet plan or an indian liquid diet plan for weight loss can consist of items with or without fiber and residue. It is only the fluid consistency of item that matters. A full liquid diet is much more nutritious in comparison to a clear liquid diet and hence can be carried on for a longer time (not more than 10 days).

Normally when on liquid diet , people follow the regular 3 or 4 meal pattern , but i would suggest to follow a 2 or 3 hourly pattern . That way the body can be provided with good nutrients and the calories can still be kept to a lower side. You can include a wide range of fluids through various flavors of soups, fruit juices, smoothies and protein shakes too. Given below is a compilation of a reference full liquid diet plan.

Indian Liquid diet plan For weight loss

This Indian liquid diet plan for weight loss can be of good help for those who are obese or over weight. When any weight loss regime is followed for long, the body neutralizes its effect over a period of time, and the weight gets stable at some point. This is also referred as plateau effect. This Indian Liquid diet plan can serve as a plateau breaker for such people. This Indian liquid diet plan will provide rest to the Gastric system and change the body’s set routine. Once the routine is broken the body again starts reacting to the diet and exercises patterns and the weight again starts to go down.
