Cleansing Diet?

Does this diet seem like a good idea?

No.

Although it doesn't sound too healthy

It isn't. Don't do it.

Just wanted to share. What are your thoughts about it?

Stop looking for shortcuts.

Eat intelligently. Create a calorie deficit of about 20% under TDEE.
Eat sufficient protein and fat.
Get off the couch and do some exercise.
Rest and repeat.

DO NOT complicate it beyond the above.

Does this diet seem like a good idea?

No it sounds idiotic.

yes, it does.

Does this sound like a good idea to you? I suspect not, or you probably wouldn't have asked the question. And you've already discovered that only eating fruit doesn't make you feel good.

To me it sounds like a very foolish idea. Eating lots of fruit and veggies is great - but you need to balance that out with protein, fat and other carbs too in order to get good nutrition and to have enough energy to do all the things you want to do in your life.
My best suggestion is that you don't look for the "quick fix" but work on setting up good eating and exercise habits that will have you healthy for a long time, not just fitting into a different pants size next month and then being right out of that one month later again.

And regarding "cleansing" - your body has some really smart organs and systems in place to do this all on it's own, even when you eat complete rubbish. You don't need to only eat fruit for three days to "cleanse", it's just not necessary.

I'm sorry but i found this to be the best comment out there!! I litterally cried as i laughed so hard from reading this!!

I have done them and Its not a good way to do it most of the time yes I lost weight by by the next week or so it was right back plus some. Its better to do it the right way.

A fad diet invented by a convicted fake doctor, what could go wrong?

^ Yikes. Scary if this is true, and also very LOL.


With all the diet plans out there I should come up with one. The "show me your boobies" diet.

What you do is, you eat less calories than you burn for the first 5 days.
Then you do the same thing for the next 5 days.
Then everyone shows me the goods.
Then you repeat.

TA-DAH!

We all win!

Your body is craving other foods, right? That's your body saying that it can't do the cleanse. It might have worked for your friend, but it sounds like your body has different requirements. Good luck!

I'm going to copy and paste this and use it as my computer wallpaper!

Wow. Thank your very much for your opinions guys!
I never did this.
I have just been eating more fruits recently along with my meals which made me lose 3lbs!
I have been eating meat less too!

You are all right. Thank you! I am not going to do this but continue to eat less calories and stick to the plan.

Thank you so much!!! I appreciate all that replied!

And I'm sorry to all those vegans. I didn't mean about like thats what all vegans eat it but the part that they are very healthy with their food choices! I admire you guys!

Firstly, kudos to you for posting with an open mind and for listening to the advice. It is actually pretty unusual and a breath of fresh air when people do.

Secondly, you were in no way (well at least imo) being offensive in any way to vegetarians - folks (well, at least myself) just wanted to point out that a balanced healthy diet comprises of more than just fruits and veggies.

Good luck!

A great cleansing diet would be to eat a variety of nutritious fruits and vegetables, protein, and healthy fat and eat a lot of fiber (both soluble and insoluble are important) and TONS of water. Add some probiotics in the form of yogurt for added benefits. Your body will naturally cleanse itself with those ingredients.
