You can also use rosehip broth, green tea, mineral water juices as drinks. There are many options for a fruit diet: mono-diets, when the base of the diet is one selected fruit (apple, watermelon, melon, etc.), a multi-fruit diet, when you can eat various fruits.

Fruit diet options

All fruit diets available in the world can be combined into 2 large groups:

• Mono-diets, when a person eats only one type of fruit.
• Mixed diets, while it is permissible to eat not only a variety of fruits, but also other food products.

Fruit Mono Diet

The Fruit Mono diet is based on eating one type of fruit or juice. Experts do not recommend keeping a mono-diet on fruits for longer than one day. Otherwise, you can harm your own health.

The fact is that the fruit mono-diet is very strict, it is not able to provide the body with all the nutrients it needs. In fairness, it should be noted that in just one day of such a diet, you can lose up to 4 kg of excess weight. The fasting day can occur once a week.

During the day, a person should eat 2 kg of fruits, on which he chose. All this volume is divided into 4-5 servings. An addition to the menu is 1 liter of fresh juice.

The most commonly used mono diets are:

• Banana Mono Diet.
• Grapefruit Mono Diet.
• Orange mono diet.
• Apple mono-diet.
• Pineapple mono diet.

Multifruit diet

A multifruit diet does not mean that a person can eat all fruits indiscriminately. They must be combined correctly. The daily amount of fruit is divided into 4-6 meals. Be sure to drink enough water. Also, during the diet, it is allowed to drink green tea, juices, herbal decoctions. The total amount of liquid is equal to 2.5 liters per day.

Fruits can be alternated every day, or combined in a dish on the same day for fruit platter, stews, mashed potatoes and salads. Such a diet should last no longer than 7 days.

Fruit and vegetable diet

If a fruit diet is supplemented with a vegetable component, this will allow you not to experience the excruciating feeling of hunger. Coarse dietary fiber, which vegetables are rich in, is a source of energy. From fruits, a person will receive vitamins that will preserve the beauty of the skin, hair and nails. However, this option has one significant drawback - a person will be deprived of a source of protein. Provided that he visits the gym, this can become a serious obstacle to the implementation of this diet in practice.

An indicative menu for one day might look like this:

• Breakfast: salad with strawberries, grapefruit, pumpkin seeds and almonds + a glass of milk with 0% fat.
• Lunch: vegetable salad with olive oil.
• Dinner: Gazpacho soup + fresh raspberries and strawberries.
• Snacks: fresh fruit or vegetable juices.

Fruit and protein diet

A variant of the fruit-protein diet involves eating not only fruits, but also foods that are sources of protein. It can be meat, fish, cereals. If the menu is drawn up according to all the rules, then a person during such a diet will intensively lose weight, but feel great at the same time.

The indicative menu looks like this:

• Breakfast: a couple of chicken eggs + two lettuce leaves + green tea, or coffee without added sugar.
• Lunch: vegetable-based soup + boiled chicken meat + tomatoes and cucumbers in salad + juice or compote.
• Dinner: boiled fish + cauliflower casserole + green tea.

Fruit is used as a snack.

Fruit and kefir diet

To get rid of excess weight and cleanse the body, you can use a fruit-kefir diet. In addition to fruits, every day you need to drink up to 0.5 liters of kefir with a low percentage of fat.

An example menu looks like this:

• Breakfast: banana with 0.25 l of kefir, passed through a blender.
• Snack: mineral water and a green apple.
• Lunch: fruit salad and a glass of kefir.
• Dinner: natural yoghurt with fruit.

Such a diet can last from 5 days to a week. Kefir can be replaced with sour milk, cottage cheese or yogurt.

Curd and fruit diet

The curd-fruit diet is considered one of the most satisfying and healthy. Cottage cheese is a product with a high content of macro- and microelements, and fruits saturate the body with vitamins. Therefore, you can hold out on this version of the fruit diet from 1 to 7 days. The person sets the duration himself. First of all, it depends on how much you need to lose weight.

An indicative menu for the day is represented by 1 kg of fruit and 0.4 kg of cottage cheese. Be sure to drink water without gas, green tea without sugar. Divide the curd into 4-5 servings and combine each meal with fruit.

Duration of diet for weight loss

Sticking to a fruit diet for too long is not recommended. If a person spends more than 12 days on this regime, then the body will begin to experience protein starvation. Even the most expensive and fortified fruits cannot cover the body's needs for animal protein. Acute deficiency of vitamin B2 is guaranteed to all people who have given up milk and meat.

Reviews of those who have lost weight

Olesya, 21 years old: “I liked the fruit diet. With her help, I cleansed the body, my skin began to look healthier. In fact, I lost 3 kg in 3 days. I have not experienced any difficulties, as I love fruits very much.

Natalia: “I urgently needed to lose weight before an important event in my life. For this purpose, I chose a fruit diet. I must say right away that I have achieved the desired result. I stayed on the diet for 3 days. Ate at this time bananas, apples, tangerines, watermelons. By the end of the first day, there was no strength left for anything, and the mood became disgusting. I wanted meat or at least potatoes.

I ate 5-6 times a day. The average weight of a portion is 300 g. I noticed that if you eat less, then hunger starts to make itself felt after half an hour. Be sure to drink plenty of water to cleanse your body. On the second day of the diet, I felt a pleasant lightness in my body. In all three days, I lost 2.5 kg.

I was able to button up a dress that did not fit before. But a week after switching to the usual menu, the lost kilograms came back! If you suffer from diseases of the digestive system, then you should refrain from a fruit diet. The main thing is not thinness, but health."

Masha: “It's best to stick to this diet in summer, when there is a lot of everything and all the fruits are fresh. I stayed on it for a week. During this time, I managed to lose 5 kg, but I caused colossal damage to my health. Now I regret that I did not switch to the usual diet after three days.

The diet is tasty but hungry. Constantly rumbling in my stomach. On the 5th day I had severe stomach pains. I went to the doctor, where they found out that I have an acute stage of gastritis. I had to forget about the diet and start treatment. After completing the diet, not 5 kg returned, but 7 kg. Fruits have withdrawn only water, which is quickly replenished. Now I oppose the fruit diet, after which I recovered and acquired gastritis. I am firmly convinced that the best diet is proper nutrition."

Nutritionist Comments

Nutritionists only prescribe a fruit diet to those people who are 100% healthy. It is not balanced in essential nutrients. As a result, the person himself introduces the body into a state of stress. If the choice still fell on a fruit diet, then you should give preference to a sparing option that allows the use of protein products. It can be a fruit-kefir fruit-vegetable or fruit-protein diet.

Be sure to take vitamins and minerals together or separately during the diet. Do not forget about drinking enough water. Otherwise, severe constipation may begin.

The diet is not balanced, has many contraindications, so you should think carefully before proceeding with its implementation.
