: Such a diet can cause liquid stools. Of course it's highly deficient in nutrients and I'm not a fan of them unless it's for medical reasons. As you resume solid foods bowel movements will return to normal eventually.

Your 3 day liquid diet has promoted the change in bowel habit which should revert to normal with regular diet. Good Luck
