    Yeah I dun that I'm
    New too all this never dieted or anything in my life use too weigh 8 stone had two kids and now ballooned lol I'm Spose too be eating 1.200 calories a day but I thought I will do the fruit diet just too kick start the whole process

    No "kick start" needed. This is just a gimmick. Eat foods you like - except measure your portions. It's a learning experience that will help you pin-point changes needed to keep the weight (you lose) off.

    7-10 pounds of what?

    10 pounds of fat would be 10 x 3500....or a 35,000 calorie deficit. You don't get that kind of deficit in one weeks time even if you ate NOTHING. The 7-10 pounds is mostly water weight (and waste from many trips to the bathroom)....which will come back when you eat regular food again.

    So, OP asks for info on a diet, and almost everyone says it's a bad idea.

    OP listens to the one poster who says go for it.

    Sounds about standard. Well, best of luck to ya.

    So everyone told you this would be a bad idea, and you do it anyways? What was the point of asking us our opinions if you were just going to do it anyways?

    *sigh*

    Diets are temporary fixes and after you finish your fruit diet you are more than likely to gain all of your weight or add more.. Please do not do these crazy fad diets.
    Eat clean and workout on a daily basis and you will get healthy and fit.
    I have lost 7 pounds in 10 days so far and my calorie intake is 2080 calories a day...
    I eat healthy foods all days including fruits but I also eat brown rice, lean meats, drink lots of water and most important I exercise just about every day.

    Honestly, I've read up on fruitarian diets because they seem so very strange to me, I was curious if I was missing something.

    From what I've read, anyone who claims to have had success as a fruitarian had it while eating that way for several months, and they had supplements and specific proportions of veggies/oils/protein to eat as well. For a simple concept, it's remarkably complex to execute in anything close to a healthy fashion. It's definitely not something to try for a week on a lark.

    Yes, you can do a short term all fruit diet and lose weight. Many people do this long term and are fine with lab tests to prove it, including normal blood serum protein levels. I've done it for about a week or so and lost about 3 lbs. I was also exercising. I was about 145 lbs at the time. That was 22 lbs ago. My regular diet has lots of fruits but from time to time, I do days with fruits only.

    Fruits are high in fructose but that doesn't matter. Their high fiber and water content mean that you'll be full on fewer calories without going hungry. You'll probably also have enough energy from the carbs to exercise which will also help increase your deficit and therefore weight loss. And improved digestion is a plus as well.

    I suggest if you really want to do it, do it just for two days. This will be enough to get your started. If you like the idea of fasting check out the fast diet website. I did it for two months and now i know how to fast.

    that said, its hard to keep up the fasting practice for many people in the long term so i just use it now and again.

    What you want is some basic principles that will work. Please read my blog post which i have reposted in the getting started forum. I have written up the basic principles which i call fundamentals that apply to everyone regardless of your height, weight, age, gender, courntry of origin, language you speak, whether you have four legs or two or get about in a wheelchair.

    Most dieters don't seem to be familiar with these ideas or how important they are. They make dieting easier and they definitely more successful. I am proof they work but experts actually agree iwth me. its the charlatans and those in it for a quid (amongst others) who say anything to the contrary these days.
