liquid diet
Noun: A prescribed nutritional regimen consisting exclusively of foods that are in a liquid state or can be liquefied or strained to a smooth consistency, often including items like broths, juices, and specific desserts such as custards or puddings. It is typically recommended for medical recovery, especially after certain surgical procedures or when the digestive system needs minimal stimulation.
A "liquid diet" is used as a medical or therapeutic term. It is prescribed by healthcare professionals for specific, temporary periods. The term is a compound noun and is used as a single unit to describe this specific type of dietary plan. - The patient was placed on a liquid diet for 48 hours following oral surgery. - Before the colonoscopy, you must follow a clear liquid diet. - The doctor recommended a full liquid diet, which includes nutritional shakes and pureed soups.

The core meaning is strictly medical/therapeutic. It does not refer to casual consumption of liquids (like drinking smoothies by choice). The phrase implies a temporary, doctor-ordered restriction of solid foods for a specific health purpose.
