fruit - short term experiment

Mrs_Doyle

Hi, I have a wedding to go to on the 30th August.
I am hoping to shift a bit of the bulge around my tummy, and the plan was to eat only fruit, and to drink fruit juice and water, for breakfast and lunch, and a snack if I am peckish, and then to have a healthy dinner when I get home from work.

Has anyone done this before? Apart from some serious bowel movement, is there any other side effects I should be aware of?

Would this diet be recommended as a short term way of shifting a bit of bulge?

Can i just ask why you think this would help you????

Mrs_Doyle

Well just assumed it would be much healthier then the sandwich lunch, toast breakfast, I usually consume, also thought it would help clean out my system a bit, and that the vitamins would help me feel a bit more energetic.
I also thought perhaps it would ease any unnecessary bloatedness?

Am I completely crazy or was I right about any of this?

If anything the fruit can cause the bloating in the first place.

Balance is key my friend! A good balance of meats, healthy fats and low burning carbs are what you want!

And all fruit diet would not be ideal, if my mind, as you would be taking in a vast amount of sugars in the form of the fructose!

Fruit should be a part of a balanced diet, not the whole of a diet.

That's August of this year I take it? Sorry Mrs Doyle, nothing short of liposuction or a bacon slicer can save you now.

And if you don't mind me saying, any kind of short-term crash dieting is very very dangerous and you'll only end up lowering your metabolic rate, increasing fat and decreasing lean tissue as a consequence.

There are no quick-answers for weight loss, full stop.

That all just looks like a big pile of sugar to me being honest. Eat a proper balanced diet.

Balanced diet is the way to go, but you are thinking along the right lines.
For Diet/fitness there is no rocket science involved
REDUCE INTAKE + INCREASE EXERCISE.

The first 2 weeks you'll be amazed how much you'll lose, but only if you REALLY WANT TO!!

The way I look at it is 1 hour per day, is 2 episodes of the simpsons!! If you can sacrifice that much for two weeks, and eat sensibly you'll amaze yourself.

Most of us confuse hunger and thirst and eat when we need liquid.

Best of luck with your aims...but first things first, don't be asking what you already know. DO IT!! (Go on, you know you can)

thats some real good advice right there, better than dublin writers bacon slicer idea!:rolleyes: funny though, ill give ya that much.

Exercise is the right and only way to go to loose weight. Effort has to be put in, but you will love the results.

A friend of mine just lost 16 lbs [sorry I dont know what that is in stone] in two weeks from just eating watermellon. And he didnt get headaches or anything. I may try it myself.

that is essentially eating nothing. of course you'll lose weight. the weight you lose, however, will be 60% muscle and only 40% bodyfat.

One must always distinguish between losing "weight" and reducing bodyfat.
