Protein is essential for overall health, including bone and muscle development, as it is one of the building blocks of the body. Due to its slower digestion, it helps balance blood sugar levels, reduces snacking urges, and aids in muscle repair and recovery post-workout.
A full liquid diet primarily consists of fluids and fiber-containing foods in small amounts. While it can provide some necessary nutrients, it may lack sufficient vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Fluids are defined as anything liquid at room temperature
Some examples are:
- Coffee, tea, and other hot drinks
- Gelatin
- Gravy
- Ice cream, sherbet, sorbet
- Ice cubes, ice chips
- Milk, liquid creamer
- Nutritional supplements
- Vegetable and fruit juices
- Yogurt (without nuts, seeds, or fruit)
- Soft drinks, lemonade, limeade
- Soups (strained or smooth puree)
- Syrup
Maximize Your Success: Essential Tips for Your Modified Liquid Diet
- Determine which foods/fluids from the list appeal to you the most.
- Choose your favorite flavors to make the diet enjoyable
- Include milk and dairy-based fluids and juices, or nut and seed milks if you’re lactose intolerant.
- Have three full liquid meals per day, with a snack in between.
- Drink nutritional shakes in 6-8-ounce servings as part of a meal or between meals to ensure adequate calorie intake. Make fortified shakes at home or buy them ready-made
Remember that this diet is temporary and only used until you’re able to eat regular foods again
If necessary, consult with a dietitian to develop a balanced full liquid meal plan to provide the necessary nutrients.
