Lose 5 Pounds Fast with the Fruit Diet

Eating all fruit for a short period of time will allow your body the time to cleanse itself, detoxify, purify and drop at least 5 pounds - guaranteed!

Difficulty: Easy

Things You'll Need:

Fruit: bananas, apples, pears, oranges, kiwis, mangos
Nuts: pistachios, peanuts, walnuts, cashews
Water

Step One

Purchase a variety of fruits & assortment of nuts (of your choosing). Make sure you have enough fruit to eat for several days so you don't need to do emergency food trips to the store. Be prepared to eat ONLY fruit for a period of two weeks (this is the minimum amount of time for this to be effective).

Step Two

When you wake up in the morning and are hungry for breakfast - you should choose a piece of fruit and eat as many pieces of that fruit you would like to eat to make yourself feel full. You'd be surprised, but you can get full off of fruit.

Step Three

Due to digestive processes, it is best to wait 90 minutes before eating a different kind of fruit. When you decide to eat the other fruit, you may eat as many pieces of it as you like, to make yourself full and satisfied.

Step Four

Drink water throughout the day and in the evening you may also eat some nuts. Do not go overboard with the nuts or you will not achieve the desired cleansing affect and weight loss.

Overall Tips & Warnings

The first two days are the most difficult part of this diet, but afterwards, you will feel quite energized, light and healthy.

After doing this for two full weeks, your body will be cleansed, detoxified and you will have shed some serious pounds. Slowly integrate vegetables and meat back into your diet as you feel fit.

Listen to your body and choose foods which will compliment your health and well-being!
