These are my results from the Fruit Flush Diet.
Day #1 - I could only drink protein shakes during the whole day. They were actually pretty tasty. I did pretty well and would sometimes forget that it was time to drink another one. I wasn’t counting down the minutes until my next shake so that was good. I had no major cravings for solid food. But then came night time. I had a pretty big salad with cooked tilapia, olive oil, and lemon juice. It was pretty tasty. That was my last meal for the day. About an hour after my salad I started getting some bad cravings for some real food like cheeseburgers, fries, sandwich, cereal - anything. I stuck it out though but felt a little weak so I went to bed.
Day #2 - I got up that morning still feeling a little weak, but I was looking forward to eating fruit. At 8am I had a banana which was pretty satisfying. I weighed myself and saw that I had lost 3.4 lbs since Day 1. Not bad! Every two hours I had different fruit. At lunchtime I had the worst cravings for fast food, especially since my co-workers were eating it! But later that night after my big salad I was fine for the rest of the night.
Day #3 - I woke up with no headache or cravings! At 8am I had another banana. I weighed myself again and saw I had lost another 1.2 lbs. So 4.6 lbs total so far. Woo hoo! The cravings at lunchtime weren’t as bad. It’s funny how your body adjusts. Dinnertime was my last meal on the diet so I decided to cheat just a little bit. I put seasoning on the chicken that went in my salad and drank some tea. :-X But the good news was that I was done with the diet!
The Morning After: I weighed myself this morning and found that I had lost a total of 6 lbs! The pounds I had gained on the cruise were gone! So, what has this diet taught me? Portion control. I can’t see the effects of getting rid of the toxins but I’m sure it helped somehow. Overall, I say this is a pretty good, healthy diet if you are interested in getting a big start on weight loss.

How I wish I can do this diet that you are into. In my case, I have rich “diet” of rice morning, noon and night coupled with meat viand. Seriously, I tried the low carb, low fat diet, and while it worked (I lost 12-14 pounds), I just gave it up as soon as Christmas and New Year weeks came. I just can’t resist all that food! Anyway, I can see the fruit flush diet works on you. Go, go, go!! Hopefully, you get great results soon.
6 lbs, that is quite good! I’m not sure if I could pull through 3 days like that. Well done!
“Protein Shake”… *raises eyebrows
Day # 3 leaves me puzzled. Or maybe that’s a typo. ::giggle::
Thanks Amy for pointing out that typo. lol It’s “body” not “buddy.”
Well…..I never know. You could have been talking about your little buddy. erm. not to say that your buddy is little. ROFL
Sounds like an interesting diet.
Yep man - it’s all about the portion control. That’s one big way I keep from gaining back lots of the weight it took me so long to lose a few years ago! That and walking around whenever I can.
[…] Here are my results from the 3 Day Fruit […]
It sounds great. I gonna try that out too. I hope I also gonna lose that much weight in such a short time.

WOW! it seems like you are having lots of success, i wish you further luck, I know that it can often be tough!
I have read a few weeks ago that Diet Otels will be construct soon. This is interesting also.
Losing 6 pounds in 3 days is pretty cool. I don’t know if I could give up my real food!
Losing respectable amount of weight in the beginning of practically any diet is mostly result of water loss as far as I know. It’s only after 2-3 weeks that real real results should be visible. That being said I wish you, and anyone who are on a diet of any kind success and the willpower to hold on what they started cause it can really feel like impossible task.
Did you buy the protein shakes pre-made or was it something that the book showed you how to put together. Trying to get hold of the book here in UK but Amazon is £20.13 ($40) for paperback!
All I know is losing weight is the hardest thing to do. But this is sounds good.
Hi, Chris!
Glad to hear you lost the weight from the “cruise binge” LOL I think we can all relate due to typical holiday eating, etc.
Based on education and my personal experience, here are the most important components for losing/maintaining weight:
1) Motivation (see below)
Peer support
2) Eating something healthy upon awakening (even if not hungry)
3) Reductions in meal size (portion control)
4) Adequate water intake
5) Healthy snacks between meals (even if not hungry)
6) Aerobic exercise
7) Increased fiber intake
9) Distracting the mind when cravings hit (note: cravings are NOT the same as hunger)
I have done ALL the above (with some failings, of course) for the last month and have lost 20 pounds (from 250 to 230). I must disclose that exercise has been my weakest component.
Chris, you are so right: the body gets used to it. Much more gradually, so does the mind. They both adjust because as we approach our ideal weight, the body and mind simply work better. In other words, homeostasis (balance) is near, and the body is all about some homeostasis.
However, as everyone knows, the mind is much slower to accept change (from within or without) than the body. This is where tools like peer support and distraction are invaluable. Further, an ‘I can do it’ attitude is imperative. If you truly don’t believe you can do it, you can’t. In such cases, you can only hope that a motivator will enter your life situation that is greater than your pessimistic outlook.
Our motivations for weight loss and maintenance are ALL fear and pain-based (mind-based). In other words, when it comes to weight loss, fear and pain are the ONLY sufficient motivators. Some may disagree by stating ‘I just want to be healthier and look better’. That is a farce. Behind every such statement are fears such as: ‘As I get older, I don’t want any weight-related diseases, or, Dad has diabetes and I don’t want that’ (fear of premature death and pain). ‘My back, feet, knees, etc hurt because I weigh too much’ (pain). ‘I prefer a partner who is in-shape, but most in that group also prefer a partner who is in-shape, and I’m not’ (fear of being alone). ‘I want to be alive to see my grandkids grow up’ (fear of loss or ‘missing-out’).
Depending on the individual, these and other such fear/pain-based motivations not only lead to effectiveness, but are the ONLY ones the MIND will view as acceptable and worth taking action on. So, it is crucial for those of us trying to lose or maintain our weight to not just say “I want to lose some weight”, but to actually identify our motives and do whatever we need to do to remind ourselves of them - especially at those times when conscious motivation is lacking.
For example, when I don’t want to exercise (almost always), I look at my list of motivators. Looking at my motivating fears almost always gets me on my bike to exercise! LOL The progress I achieve is also a great motivator, but note that even progress is fear-based (’I don’t want to LOSE the progress I’ve made’).
Sorry to have written a treatise, but I hope I’ve helped someone with their weight-loss/maintenance efforts.
Again, Chris, congrats!

Get religion. I recommend traditional Catholicism (Tridentine Mass). Then fast as a sacrifice to the Lord God in recompense for your many sins, or for the Holy Souls in Purgatory.
Much easier to do, and great spiritual benefits.
it seems like you are having lots of success,i gonna try that out too
Great job so far!! I hope that you get the goals you are aiming for. Just remember that even though results will slow down, you have to stay consistent
Nice work, I’m trying a 30 day raw food diet tomorrow, hope I can make it! Burgers and fries are the big temptation.
Right on the money! It’s all about portion control.
nice job. sounds like a great way to shed some pounds while eating right and cleansing your body. thanks for sharing.
I definitely agree with portion control. Along with exercise and a healthy diet, you don’t need diets like these.
My boyfriend is from Europe and he’s always commenting on how massive our portion sizes are. When I realize that I’m eating way to much at one time, I’ll do a detox diet like this. It’s healthy when you do it this way.
6 lbs in just 3-4 days?? Wow that’s a success if you ask me.. Keep it up and best of luck!
