Question:

Could some of you kind OH people tell me what clear liquids you drank?? I can think of a few but am kind of pulling a blank. Thanks    — Kathleen F. (posted on May 18, 2009)

Hi, Clear liquids are liquids that you can see through. Like chicken or beef broth, tea, water, s/f popcicles, not so much soda, (because of the carbonation, it will stretch out your pouch and fill you up with empty calories) unless they are flat with no fizz. Any soup that you can see through. I lived on chicken broth for 2 months. Just remember if you can pretty much see through it, you can drink it. Best wishes.
