Thank you for the link. I know our liver and organs in general take care of that stuff I reached a plateau with my weight loss so I thought trying 9 days of only fruit and vegetable, which is called the detox phase 1 in the book, would probably kick start my weight loss again!0 -
If you aren't losing and it's been more than three weeks, then you need to tighten up your logging. This may include investing in a food scale to weigh your foods, adjusting calories assumed to be burned during exercise, or both.0

And where would the protein you need come from during this phase?
Protein is essential and doubly important when dieting.
Please reconsider.0 -

You get protein from tofu, legions, lentils stuff like that. That's what the book says too0 -

I have a digital scale but no I have been eye balling stuff not weighing anything0 -

Well there's your problem. If you start weighing your food you will realise that humans tend to underestimate what we are eating.0 -

So you're not logging accurately and rather than fix that you jump straight to a fad diet that has a "detox" of some unspecified toxins?0 -

Nice realisation! This will help you stay under your calorie limit. Good for you.0 -

I found reverse dieting got me over my last plateau, have lost 3lbs last week now that I am on the calorie cutting again0

The OP said they were not accurately logging, and weighing food is what will get them out of a plateau.0 -

But you are only eating fruit and veg for nine days....0 -
I guess I am confused. If you know that your liver and kidneys help to detox your body, then what will the 9 day detox accomplish? To me that is saying, I know this isn't going to work, but I will do it anyway!
It is ignoring the real issue. If you are eyeballing your food and not measuring it, then you are most likely eating more than you think you are and are not losing weight. You own a scale, and were successful when you were weighing your food, I am assuming? Then why not start there first and start weighing your food again?
I don't see the reason to try something new when something was working, you stopped doing it, and then you stopped seeing results.

This. Tighening up your logging will be so much less unpleasant than what you're proposing.0 -

Really??
OP, you are probably underestimating how many calories you are taking in, since 'eyeballing ' our food is what got most of us to where we are right now...overweight or obese. Weigh and log everything, THAT is what will get you out of your plateau ...not a fad detox0 -

If you've hit a plateau then continue to eat normally in a deficit still.
But maybe make sure you are getting enough sleep and try throwing in some sprint sessions to your exercise regime.
A 9 day diet of just fruit and veg will not be helpful to anyone.

Thank you all for your advice and input. I guess sometimes we try to be in denial that we fell off the wagon some how and try to find excuses or try something faster per say. I needed this wake up call. I lost 82 lbs sticking to my measuring and logging I should just stick back to it. I really appreciate all the comments0

I think she was commending the realization that the OP wasn't weighing their food, and that by starting to do so, the OP would be able to start losing again. Essentially the same thing you're saying.

Good to see you respond favorably to the advice here OP, it's refreshing!
Out of curiosity, why did you stop weighing and logging in the first place, if it worked for you? Losing 82 lbs is no small feat!

Best of luck OP. You are already a success, sometimes you just need to re-evaluate. I commend you for being honest. Don't worry, you'll get where you want to be.0 -

You don't need protein. You need the 9 or 11 amino acids your body lacks to make protein. We don't use animal proteins as they're ingested. We break them down and use the parts.0 -
