The 3-Day Fruit Flush

Lose (9-10 Pounds in 3 Days)

Can you lose weight by eating fruit every two hours? The Fruit Flush Diet, often referred to as simply the Fruit Diet, is getting a lot of attention by promising an astonishing 9-10 pound weight loss in just three days.

“During the 3-Day Fruit Flush, your system is relieved of the digestive burden of eating other foods and can clean out its system while burning fat because fruit is nature’s perfect cleansing food,” says personal trainer and certified clinical nutritionist Jay Robb, author of the Fruit Flush 3 Day Detox.

According to Robb’s book, which is available on his web site, nutrients in fruit help dissolve toxic buildup and the water and fiber content of fruit flush it out. He says following the 3 Day Fruit Flush will help flush out toxins that result from a diet of overly processed foods, artificial ingredients, alcohol, junk food, and more.

What makes this quick weight loss plan different from others is that it includes lean protein to spare the body’s muscle and help burn fat, says Robb, who is not a registered dietitian.

“When you eat fresh fruits, vegetables, and lean protein for 36 hours, you go into a fat-burning mode which preserves your muscle mass,” he says.

He acknowledges that about half of the 9-10 pound weight loss you can expect during the 3-Day Fruit Flush will come from water, especially if your diet is very low in sodium. (Some experts think this percentage could be even higher.) But Robb says the fast weight loss is a great motivator for anyone starting a long-term weight loss program.

The Fruit Flush Diet requires only two steps. On the first day, you drink protein shakes. This is followed by two days of eating fresh fruit every two hours, plus a dinner meal of raw vegetables and a small amount of lean protein or a protein shake.

The diet provides about 900-1,000 calories each day, with about 100-125 grams of protein on day one and about 50 grams of protein on the other two days, depending on the type of protein powder you use.

Robb’s 3 Day Fruit Flush diet is different from the diet he calls the Fruit Diet, a 14-day program with slightly more calories and an “accelerated fruit flush plan” consisting of unlimited fresh fruit during the day, plus an evening meal of protein, vegetables, salad, and healthy fats. But in general, whenever fruit is the foundation of a diet plan, it could be called a fruit diet. Some people follow an all-fruit diet for a day a week or three days a month.

The Fruit Flush Diet: What You Can Eat

Beyond fresh fruit, raw vegetables, protein drinks, and lean sources of protein, there is very little you can eat on the Fruit Flush Diet. Dairy, caffeine, coffee, tea, alcohol, diet and regular sodas, starches, cooked vegetables, juices, most fats, and all sweets are prohibited.

The 3 Day Diet

(Lose 10lbs in 3 Days)

What It Is

Surprisingly surviving the test of time, the 3 Day Diet is another fad diet, dating back to 1985. Copies of the “3 Day Diet” continue to float around cyberspace, promising quick weight loss, cleansing, lower cholesterol, and increased energy. However, no diet book exists to substantiate the science behind the “unique metabolic reaction.”

Often mistakenly called The Cleveland Clinic Diet, the 3 Day Diet is a regimented plan that must be followed exactly for three days at a time, followed by normal eating for four or five days before opting to resume the plan again.

Followers of the 3 Day Diet are promised up to a 10 pound weight loss in three days, although realistically, most of that weight is likely due to fluid loss and not the more desirable fat loss. To achieve the proposed loss, exercise is not mentioned in the plan.

What You Can Eat

The 3 Day Diet is a very specific food plan that must be followed precisely. Portions must be eaten exactly as specified and dieters are warned not to overeat — otherwise the promised 10 pound weight loss may not be achieved. Likewise, dieters should not under-eat, even if they are not hungry. The detailed plan does not mention or recommend any exercise.

The 3 Day Diet meal plan:

Day 1

Breakfast

Black coffee or tea, with 1-2 packets Sweet & Low or Equal

1/2 grapefruit or juice

1 piece toast with 1 tablespoon peanut butter

How It Works

By some unspecified magical force, the combination of the suggested foods included in this plan is supposed to create a unique metabolic reaction and boost fat burning.

Without an author or book, there is no documentation or explanation of how the 3 Day Diet food combinations burn fat, increase energy, cleanse the body, or lower cholesterol.

As the name suggests, the 3 Day Diet lasts only three days, though it’s said that it can be repeated indefinitely, as long as you alternate with 4-5 days of undefined “normal eating.” The purpose of returning to your usual eating style is to keep your metabolism from slowing, reverting to fat-storing, starvation mode.

The Cabbage Soup Diet

(Lose 10 lbs in 1 week)

Here it is, The King of All Fad Diets

Recipe:

The cabbage soup can be eaten at any time you feel hungry during the day, and you can eat as much as you wish as often as you like.

Ingredients:

1 Green Pepper
1 Large Can Diced Tomatoes
6 Stalks Celery
1 Large Onion – Chopped
1-2 Cubes of Bouillon (if desired)
1 head cabbage. A nice, big green one.
48 oz. of V-8 Juice (low sodium works best)
4 cups of water
1 teaspoon of olive oil (no more)
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce

Cut vegetables into small pieces. Saute the onion in the olive oil for two minutes, then add the celery and peppers and saute for 4 minutes more. Then cover with the water and V-8 juice. If you want the bouillon add it now. Add the hot sauce and tomatoes.

Bring the whole mixture (which now includes everything but the cabbage) to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and continue cooking until vegetables are tender (about 30 minutes to an hour depending on how large you cut the celery).

Core the cabbage (take the stem out of it). Shred the cabbage and then add the cabbage and cook for another 10 minutes. Adding the cabbage near the end preserves some of its nutritional content and keeps your kitchen from smelling like a latrine.

During the Cabbage Soup Diet you can eat as much of this soup as you want, whenever you want it. Eat it all day and night if you want.

Diet Plan:Day One:

Fruit: Eat all of the fruit you want (EXCEPT BANANAS). Eat only your soup and the fruit for the first day. For drinks- unsweetened teas, cranberry juice and water.

Day Two:

Vegetables: Eat until you are stuffed will all fresh, raw or cooked vegetables of your choice. Try to eat leafy green vegetables and stay away from dry beans, peas and corn. Eat all the vegetables you want along with your soup. At dinner, reward yourself with a big baked potato with butter. Do not eat fruit today.

Day Three:

Mix Days One and Two: Eat all the soup, fruits (but not bananas) and vegetables you want. NO BAKED POTATO.

Day Four:

Bananas and Skim Milk: Eat as many as eight bananas and drink as many glasses of skim milk as you would like on this day, along with your soup. This day is supposed to lessen your desire for sweets.

Day Five:

Beef And Tomatos: Ten to twenty ounces of beef and up to six fresh tomtoes. Drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water this day to wash the uric acid from your body. Eat your soup at least once this day. You may eat broiled or baked chicken instead of beef (but absolutely no skin-on chicken). If you prefer, you can substitute broiled fish for the beef one one of the beef days (but not both).

Day Six:

Beef and Vegetables. Eat to your heart’s content of beef and vegetables this day. You can even have 2 or 3 steaks if you like, with leafy green vegetables. NO BAKED POTATO. Eat your soup at least once.

Day Seven:

Brown rice, unsweetened fruit juices and vegetables: Again STUFF,STUFF,STUFF yourself. Be sure to eat your soup at least once this day.

How to “Lose 10 Pounds in a Week” With a Vegetarian Diet

Losing 10 pounds in a week sounds unbelievable. However, with the right combination of exercise and consumption of water and foods such as vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts, seeds and whole grains, it’s possible. Excluding meat from a diet will eliminate extra calories, saturated and unsaturated fats which will assist in the goal of losing 10 pounds in a week. How foods are consumed also plays an important role in helping you reach your weight loss goal.

Instructions

1

Begin each morning with a high fiber breakfast to get your metabolism working. Eat foods such as fruits, cereals and oatmeal with a mixed fruit juice.
2

Reduce your fat intake. Substitute snacks with a high fat content with fresh fruit or vegetables. Foods high in protein are low in carbohydrates and saturated fats, making them appropriate choices for obtaining weight loss.
3
Fill up on servings of fruits and vegetables that are low in sugars and carbohydrates. Consume fruits and vegetables such as raspberries, blackberries, mushrooms, green beans and cranberries which are low in sugars and do not promote weight gain. Avoid fruits and vegetables such as oranges, cherries, carrots,beets and mango which contain high amounts of sugars.
4

Drink at least eight to 13 glasses of water daily, eliminating soft drinks and juices, which are high in sugar.
5

Exercise daily. Walk as often as possible to burn calories. Intense cardio work outs will tire you out more quickly where walking is easy and can be done with friends.
6

Track your food intake and weight loss in a journal. It’s important to know what you’re consuming and you’ll also be able to see your accomplishments.
7

Lean on friends, relatives or other vegetarians for support. Having a partner in your weight loss efforts can help keep you going.
