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.
Ideally, liquid diet drinks should give you a balance of nutrients you need throughout the day, but that isn't always the case. Very low-calorie diets (400-800 calories per day) in particular can be lacking in nutrients and should only be used under medical supervision.
