The LSVT program teaches patients to âthink LOUDâ and to focus their efforts on increasing voice volume. With intensive treatment and frequent encouragement, patients learn to consistently increase their voice volume. As patients progress in therapy, the length and complexity of their speech increases, as does their volume.
Weight Loss Potential. Liquid diets work to help you lose weight because they provide so few calories each day. If you've decided on the liquid-only diet approach, you'll consume just 600 to 700 calories each day -- enough to lose 3 lbs. or more per week. If you decide to eat a small dinner as part of your diet, you'll still be consuming just about 1,000 calories a day, which should lead to weight loss of about 2 lbs. each week.
Planning a seven-day liquid diet depends on what type of liquid diet you're on and why. People on a full liquid diet for medical reasons, such as an upcoming surgery or an intestinal illness, may have different restrictions than someone on a liquid diet for weight loss purposes, for example. People on a liquid diet should be under the supervision of a doctor to make sure they get sufficient nutrients.
