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.
Diet - full liquid. A full liquid diet is made up only of fluids and foods that are normally liquid and foods that turn to liquid when they are at room temperature, like ice cream. You can NOT eat solid foods when you are on a full liquid diet. This diet is easier to digest than solid food. It gives you the proteins, fluids, salts, and minerals that you need for energy. For most people on a full liquid diet, the goal is to get 1,350 to 1,500 calories and 45 grams of protein a day. Eating only a full liquid diet gives you enough energy, protein, and fat. But it does not give you enough fiber.
