Top Fruits to Eat During a Fruit Diet

In choosing fruit, emphasize eating low-acid fruits like melons.  If citrus fruits like oranges and grapefruit are in season, then choose the sweetest.  

At the start, eating a lot of fruit may cause some diarrhea. In time, the body will grow accustomed to fruit's cleansing properties.  

Fruits high in vitamin C and citric acid are powerful detoxifiers. The absence of mucus-forming foods allows the lymph glands a chance to detoxify. 

The Remainder of Your Fruit DietThere is beauty in simplicity, and this diet is very simple.  Forget the idea of three meals a day—it does not apply to a fruit diet. 

ü       Begin your day with a large portion of higher-calorie fruit like bananas, grapes or mangos.  This will elevate your metabolism for the whole day, sustaining good energy and fat-burning capabilities. 
 

ü       Allow yourself to get a little hungry before having another fruit meal.  As the fruit diet continues and you grow more confident, experiment with how long you can endure the feeling of hunger before eating again. 
 

ü      On more active days, eat a greater amount of fruit.  If you have a day of leisure, then cut back.  As you get some days behind you, and food cravings are overcome, there will be a greater sensitivity to your body’s caloric need. 
 

ü       Continue to drink two tall glasses of fresh veggie juice twice a day,  one in the morning and one in the afternoon or evening.
 

ü       Mix in a tablespoon of good oil to your two glasses of juice each day.
 

ü       Do not rob yourself of eating pleasure by counting calories.  All the fruit you are ingesting is low-concentrated food, light in calories and high in water and fiber, so enjoy. This is not a mathematical equation, but  is a process of getting in tune with your body in a new way, through breaking junk food cravings and emotional addictions. 
 

ü       Do not weigh yourself until the fruit diet is over.  Remember, this is not just about losing weight, but about helping you gain control over your eating.  This will be a launching pad to a whole new way of eating and living.  Quick fixes never work—if there is not permanent change, then the weight will simply come right back in a few months.
 

ü       While on your fruit diet, take time to educate yourself on healthy nutrition.  This will keep you motivated and focused.  Find a good book and read in your spare time.

So there you have it.  It’s simple: eat lots of fruit for the first three days, and then start allowing your body to get hungry between small meals.  You may find yourself eating fruit 6-8 times a day, which is fine. 

Finally, do not let the simplicity of this diet fool you.  What is going on under your skin is far from simple.  A wonderful transformation is occurring on a cellular level, as you flood your trillions of living cells with healing, cleansing nutrients.  Your cells will love you!
