The 3 day apple fast/diet
Replies
-
I'm trying something right now with apples myself. I just started eating 6-8 apples a day to up my fiber intake, but I'm also eating protein and fat from other foods. I'm going to attempt to basically replace all my daily carb intake with apples. I've been blending them and making apple sauce. I'm gonna give it a shot for a week and see how it goes for my recomp. phase.3

It actually is a good cleanse. I eat allot of salt and processed foods. I did this and lost 8 pounds in three days. Keep in mind you store allot of water so the first day is 3 pounds. It is not a diet, but will rid extra sodium, etc.26

Why do people have to be so mean? You can make your point without sarcasm or being mean.15

7 years! Wow.
And the apple 'cleanse' is still a stupid idea.

You're mean! :bigsmile:6 -
This is a horrendous idea. You don't need a "purge", "cleanse", "detox", or "reset". If you feel you've been eating too many heavy foods for your preference, by all means, stop eating them for a few days if you so choose but bodies don't need these sort of extreme measures, they maintain the status quo by design and don't need extra help from us.
For context I picked an entry for granny smith apples and put in 14 (to get close to 1500 calories) and this is what you get, extraordinary little protein and fat.

To the best of my knowledge, your body doesn't store up excess salt. It retains water which will eventually flush out the excess sodium when you urinate. If you are chronically retaining water due to a high sodium diet, all you need to do is eat a low sodium diet for a few days and let the water flush out. Sure, eating a bunch of apples would work, but you can eat any combination of almost all whole foods and get the same result. You might also have cleared some volume from your digestive track, but again this would be due to the high fiber in the apples, which you could get from all sorts of other whole plant foods.
The 8 lbs you lost was water and perhaps some extra poop, which you could have achieved eating a much less restrictive diet, in fact just by improving the issues in your diet that were causing you problems - less high sodium processed foods, more fiber.10 -

But it's low sodium.

I am fascinated by this instruction for dinner the night before starting in the how-to post on page 1: "have a green salad to brush your system clear and prepare your body." Do people actually think that lettuce passes through your body as a crispy leaf that scrubs the sides of your intestines as it travels? Like after you've finished chewing it to mush and breaking it down in your stomach, it magically regenerates as a tiny whisk broom before disintegrating just before you poop? Inquiring minds want to know.13
