The fruit diet promises to lose weight fast, between 4 and 9 kg in 3 days, using fruits and vegetables preferably raw in food. It also favors the detoxification process which further speeds weight loss.
According to the author of this diet, Jay Robb, which should be done for only 3 days in a row, the only recommended physical activity is a maximum of 20 minutes of light walking a day, and one should not drink coffee or black tea these days, just water, about 12 glasses a day that can be with lemon.
However, for this diet to increase fat burning and cause rapid weight loss, it is important to eat foods rich in proteins like soy milk, grilled chicken breast, white cheese, boiled egg, or protein powder to put in the soup or in the juices, for example. And that is why this diet is also known as fruit and protein diets.
In addition, another fundamental point for fruit diet to work is that vegetables are organic or biological, free of pesticides so that they really help to eliminate the accumulated toxins and detoxify the body and besides slimming it also improves skin, circulation and functioning of the intestine.
