The fruit diet promises to lose weight fast, between 4 and 9 kg in 3 days, using fruits and vegetables preferably raw in the diet. It also favors the detoxification process which further accelerates 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 per day, and you should not drink coffee or black tea on those days, just water, about 12 glasses a day that can be with lemon.
However, in order for this diet to increase fat burning and cause rapid weight loss, it is important to eat foods rich in protein such as soy milk, grilled chicken breast, white cheese, boiled egg, or powdered protein to put in soup or in juices, for example. And that is why this diet is also known as fruit and protein diate.
In addition, another fundamental point for the 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 in addition to losing weight it also improves the skin, circulation and bowel function.
