                                Typically, a clear liquid diet should not exceed 3-5 days without medical supervision, according to medical advice. This diet is designed for short-term use, often before or after procedures, to provide the digestive system a break. Extending this diet beyond the recommended period increases the risk of nutritional deficiencies.
