Fruit Diet- For those obsessed to loose weight

Sophomore obsession # 007
I need to loose weight!
The obese , the thin , the fat and the normal, irrespective of the sizes everybody is in the fad to look slim...

One question that I am commonly receiving from the very first day is: Please suggest me a diet plan. Actually, there is no one common diet plan for everyone. In fact Diet plan is subjective to everyone and it is made as per individual’s activity level, metabolic rate, family’s eating pattern, geographical location, taste preferences and various other factors. However, technically I can explain you few factors with the help of which you can yourself plan an effective diet plan for weight management.

• Decide for how long you are planning to be on a fruit diet and stick on to the schedule without any compromise. If you are planning to take a 7 day diet try to do the same every month which can give you tremendous long lasting benefits.
• Choose good fruits – Remember, your fruit diet will only be as good as the fruit you’re eating, not just in nutrition but also in eating pleasure. Spend a little more on good quality fruit, even if you have to search for a different store that specializes in top-quality produce. 
• Try to eat what’s in season.

On certain nightsmunch on some fruit of my choice like Kiwi, or strawberries (based on availability) if too hungry just before sleep. As suchnever stick on to any hard and fast rule in picking the fruit and have lime juice with salt whenever feel low while at office and an occasional fruit salad with honey.

• Some Tips for Fruit Diet

• For the first three days, eat as much fruit as you desire. Eating as much as you want will help curb the temptation to quit, which is strongest in the beginning, due to dealing with cravings and hunger.
• As a norm, begin your day with a large portion of higher-calorie fruit like bananas, grapes or mangoes.  This will elevate your metabolism for the whole day, sustaining good energy and fat-burning capabilities. On more active days, eat a greater amount of fruit.  If you have a day of leisure, then cut back.
• I was on a 5 days fruit diet this month and I chose the following fruits, remember this is just an example and you have full liberty to choose whatever you like and are easily available at your place, of course in comfortable serving sizes.

•   COMPLICATIONS

  

   

  Due to the cleansing effect of fruit and the subsequent release of toxins, your tongue will become coated, your breath foul, and you may experience times of weakness or diarrhea.
  Also extended periods of fruit diet is not advisable since over time there will be a loss of muscle strength.
  Even more important is the loss of nutrients offered from a wide spectrum of foods, like fish, whole grains and vegetable foods, to mention only a few.
  Fruit diet is lower in calories than juice fasting, hence resulting in a deeper detoxification.
  Also, unlike juice or water fasting, the digestive system does not shut down. This means there is no drop in metabolism as is the case with fasting, where the body is forced into a low-metabolism state to conserve energy resources.
  An uncompromised metabolism plus a lower calorie intake equals detoxification and safe weight loss. A fruit diet is carried out for a limited period of time to allow the body to detoxify and cleanse while flooding every cell with a clean source of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals and the end results are glowing skin, toxin free body, high energy levels and many more.
