    In wouldn't think that doing that would be too awful bad for you. I'm sure you'll get all sorts of responses on this though. These boards have been a little extra "snarky" these days...

    It's not going to hurt, but it's probably not going to do much for you either.

    I highly doubt that eating nothing but fruit for a day does anything to "detox" you. Your liver (unless your doctor has told you otherwise) does a fine job of that on it's own. I suspect that the fiber and acid in the fruit is having a laxative effect and that's what's helping your tummy feel better.

    That said, if you like doing it, eating nothing but fruit for a day every once in a while won't do you any harm. Much healthier than taking some pill. Just be sure you are also getting veggies, whole grains and protein the rest of the time.
