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.
What Are Liquid Diets? Like the name suggests, liquid diets mean you're getting all, or at least most, of your calories from drinks. Some liquid diets are limited to fruit or vegetable juices, or shakes, that replace all of your meals, taken three or four times a day. You do some of these diets on your own. Others need medical supervision.
