Post a three day fruits/vegetable fast

i forget where i read this, but an article said that going on a three day fruits/vegetables fast can sorta "jump start" your weight loss.

personally, i love fruits, and i'm currently on my first day--i've had nothing but fruits.

i'm just wondering, do you actually lose real weight from this? and if you do, will it be all water weight & you'll quickly gain it back?

thanks.

Well, it doesn't sound very healthy and most likely it would be water weight that is lost. In addition, you'd probably gain a bit back before you starting losing again if you transferred from this diet onto a more normal, non-specific, low calorie/low fat or low carb diet.

In my opinion I think you're better off just starting your diet in a normal fashion, incorporate those fruits and vegetables like you're supposed to, and embark on a healthier lifestyle.

Tweetsquirl,

I would go one step further and do a 5 day fruit and juice fast, i would not include vegetables.

I do these fasts at least twice a year to cleanse and for detox purposes. So yes it would be a good idea in kick starting your weight loss regime.

Doing a good clean out lets your body work at full potential, cleaning your system of all waste matter accumulated over the years, ie cooked protein, saturated fats, chemicals and preservatives.

I try to stick to a majority fruit diet all year round, i aim for 50%, although i usually end up around 30%.
If this is your first time on the fast you may feel lousy for a few days, headaches, cold like symptoms. This is okay its your body cleaning itself out bigtime.
You may even get a lot of gas, like i did again your bodys waste.

You will find the week after you will feel healthier have heaps more energy

This is a good start, im wondering what your plan is on weight loss after the fruit fast?

YMS

the fast has been over for a day now. i started on monday, and ended on wednesday. today's friday...and yesterday i went back to how i regularly eat--but i've controlled myself. so far, i've only had an apple for breakfast.

i have lost weight. 4 pounds, actually, when i weighed in on wednesday night. i don't really know exactly what i have in mind...but i think after this, i have more self-control. and i think i'm gonna cut off bread, pasta, etc, things like that.
