A fruit fast may be the closest thing to a perfect diet that has ever been created. In fruit fasting, you only eat and drink fresh fruits and fresh fruit juice. As the human body was created to be fed fruits and vegetables, it makes since this type of diet would still be a good weight loss option.
One of the great things about a fruit fast is that your body continues to get all the nutrition it needs to keep running. Fruits are broken down into a sugar called glucose. This sugar is the main fuel for the brain. With lots of glucose present, your brain will continue to work at its best and you won’t suffer any lack of concentration during your diet.
Fruits are also a good source of vitamins so your immune system will stay well fed also. The vitamins and antioxidants in fruits will also help your body to heal and to cleanse itself of toxins.
Fruits are also a good diet food because you can eat a lot of fruit without consuming a great deal of calories. This allows you to snack on fruits throughout the day and not feel hungry.
Fruits are also an easy food for the body to digest. They don’t clog up the digestive system like meats do. In fact, fruits are actually digested in the intestines, not the stomach.
If you want to lose weight, but still eat a healthy diet a fruit fast may be the perfect choice for you.

Hi. I'm on day one of the Master Cleanse. I tried it once before about six months ago, while in school. I got to Day 4 before deciding that it wasn't a good time to be running on fewer calories.
As for the fruit fast, I've never contentiously gone on one before, but there have been periods where I ate on fruit, vegetables, and nuts. I've been a vegetarian for three years now, but I had never felt so good! Not only that, but my nails grew really fast and were very strong! My skin was hydrated. And I swear to you, my teeth actually got whiter!
Those are pretty good indicators that your (or atleast my own) body thrives off of eating that way!
Amazing! I'm determined to do the full ten days this time! Wish me luck!
I started on the lemon master cleanse and turned to the fruit cleanse--but I don't find so much listed about it. I wanted to know if black coffee (I guess as a bean that would be a no)--but also, red wine is possible since it is mainly fermented grapes? I live in France and have many artists parties I attend frequently--if the wine is included in the diet I could do this easily and keep my social habits--please inform...
THE SOUTH BEACH DIET
Are you tired of trying different diet plans, with no positive results? Turn to South Beach Diet. This is not a traditional low-carb plan. What makes it different is that here you'll be encouraged to choose the right carbs like whole grains, certain fruits and vegetables and right fats like olive and canola oil and lean sources of protein. When you eat bad carbohydrates and fats you tend to feel hungrier and thus you end up eating more causing weight gain.ASK DR.SMITH
Good carbohydrates: They have a low glycemic index so they can be digested and absorbed slowly. They are high in fiber or high in good fats. You should also eat fiber or fat to slow digestion of the carbohydrates. Good fats: They are polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, especially those with omega-3 fatty acids. Saturated and trans fats are bad fats.
How does it work?
South Beach Diet was created a well known cardiologist, Dr. Arthur Agatston. He developed this diet for his cardiac patients after a lot of scientific dieting research. The best thing about this diet is that you will get your three, normal size meals everyday and you can even enjoy your snacks and deserts. In just a short amount of time you will see incredible results. So you can not only enjoy your favorite foods but you can also put your fear of getting fat to rest.ASK DR.SMITH
According to Dr.Agatston, when you consume bad carbohydrates especially those found in foods with a high Glycemic index, they create an insulin resistance syndrome which is an impairment of the hormone insulin's ability to properly process fat or sugar and not only this, bad carbohydrates also increase the chances of getting cardiovascular disease.Therfore his diet includes the consumption of good fats and good carbohydrates.ASK DR.SMITH
The three phases South Beach Diet:
This diet works in phases, the first two for a specific timeframe and the third phase for life.
Phase I -You will eat normal-size portions of lean meat, fish, eggs, reduced-fat cheese, nonfat yogurt, nuts, and plenty of vegetables including snacks and desserts. This will last for two weeks. You would have to high or moderately high-glycemic carbs so that you eliminate insulin resistance .This way the body will lose its insulin resistance, and thus use excess body fat, causing the dieter to lose between 8 and 13 pounds.
Phase II- Whole grain foods and fruits will be reintroduced in your diet, although in smaller amounts than were likely eaten before beginning the diet, and with a continued emphasis on foods with a low glycemic index. You should continue to lose weight until you reach the desired weight. Phase III- This begins when you reach the desired weight. Here you will continue to make good eating choices which would include three servings of whole grains and three servings of fruit a day
Effective way to slim fast:
This diet puts emphasis on changing your way of eating and variety of foods. It discourages eating of very refined processed foods, high-fat meats, and saturated fats in general. Agatston says that you should eat until you are satisfied and you do not have to count calories. You just have to eat the right food that is good carbs and fats. By decreasing the intake of bad carbs, it will help you metabolize what you eat more effectively and improves insulin resistance as well leading to weight loss.
