Light Diet (Soft Diet)
Description:
The light diet includes foods that are well tolerated by patients whose digestion is impaired as a result of
surgery or illness. The diet is modified from the regular menu excluding foods high in indigestible
cellulose and the less digestible connective tissue of meats, very coarse breads and cereals, and very
highly seasoned food. Foods may be prepared in any way accept fried. The light diet may include foods
which are somewhat soft in texture and easy to chew, although food tolerances may vary among
individuals. Foods on the regular diet which are tolerated by the individual are allowed.
Adequacy:
The light diet provides the variety and quantity of foods necessary to plan menus that will meet the
Recommended Daily Dietary Allowances of the Natural Research Council for the average adult. It may
be necessary to plan to include foods high in iron to meet the needs of pre-menopausal women.
