Fruit Diet to Completely Detoxify Your Body

SHARE:

Adjust text size:


Summer is the most appropriate season for starting a detoxifying diet because now fruits and vegetables are mostly available. We all should consider having a detoxifying diet at least once a year because during the cold season our body gets filled with toxins, waste elements and compounds that are not at all beneficial for us. Toxins in our body can only make us feel weighty and lumpish, lacking energy and will to enjoy life. Our physical
moves and actions become slower, clumsier, as well as the brain activity which is blocked by the waste in our organisms.

A diet consisting in vegetables and fruits is the most recommended in the hot season firstly because it supplements our bodies with the vitamins and nutritive compounds it needs for functioning properly and secondly because the heat outside makes it heavier for us to digest heavy meals.

One of the most effective methods for detoxification is the one in which raw fruits and natural fruit juices are used. The fruit nutrition is an excellent remedy for excess organic toxicity because it redresses the alkaline state of the body, eliminates acidic chemicals in our organisms and helps us lose weight by providing us with a lot of energy at the same time.

People that use the fruit diet usually remove all the dead cells, fat excretions and other unhealthy element from their bodies. When eliminating the toxins, our body will make use of all the ways in which it can do this: urine, excrements, skin, mouth, sinus.

However, the colon will be the most required part of our body during the detoxification period, because it will be the medium through which more than 70% of the waste in the organism is eliminated. The digestive tract processes the meals we eat and when filling it with unhealthy products from junk food, it will become heavy with toxins. These toxins are also released in our body through the walls of the colon and reach the blood stream. From here, toxins dissipate all through our body and lead to various mild or serious diseases.

Of all the fruits, citrus fruits, especially lemons, grapefruits and oranges, have the most beneficial and powerful effect on the detoxification process. Other fruits that will also enhance waste removal from the body are pineapples. But besides these, note that all fruits intake leads to a healthy way of living and works very well upon the organism.

The fruit diet and toxins elimination will have miracle effects upon our health not only by removing all the waste and poisonous compounds from the blood stream and the rest of the body (colon, liver, heart etc). Eating fruits helps us get rid of allergies, vitalizes and energizes us and leads to a good stamina, improves eyesight, makes our nails, teeth and hair stronger and healthier, our skin becomes radiant and sweet smelling. Also, our cognitive function and mental abilities are stimulated and increased, while emotional disorders such as stress or anxiety are also minimized.

I am on the fruit diet for 3 days already and feel worse every day. My stomach feels naucious all the time ( to the point that i cannot consume enough water) and my mouth has a feeling like alcohol all the time. by the way, I am not diabetic and I was not much of a junk food eater before. is this normal? and how long should i do it ?

Comment #3.1 by: Shabeena on 20 Mar 2010, 06:51 GMT

U will feel the same , soon after u start fruit deiting.. Even im suffering from head ache, feeling more sleepy, etc., But after ur body get habituated, u will feel great. U should not have caffeine, sugar etc while on fruit diet..

Comment #3.2 by: any on 11 Jun 2011, 05:49 GMT

This is normal in the beginning of this therapy ,i don't want to call it diet.And these simptoms that you wrote show only how much your body is intoxicated ,and the alcohol smell is the toxins from the body,in such cases never brake the diet starting eating other things but go on with the frits and you will feel better than ever.I am on this diet for 26 days and want to go on for at least 3 months .Good luck to all!

I started the fruit diet this morning. I am fighting the food cravings such as bread and pizza..mmm! But I can't complain. I do feel hungry but not overly hungry and I usually fill up on one piece of fruit. I will hope to do this for 5 days. I hope I will really be cleaned out. I feel so sluggish all of the time. I will post back once my diet is complete and let you know how it worked for me. This is my first time.

I started a fruit diet yesterday. This morning I woke up quite strong, not as tired as I usually wake up. I initially wanted to to this for 2 days, but have decided to add another day. If feels good to know that your body is being cleansed for good!

I'm going on the fourth month. Battling chronic yeast infection and this is the only thing that has actually helped. Ive lost 20 kg, my skin is not yellowish anymore, seborrhea disappearing, The brown spots in my eyes are disappearing. I still have longer to go, feel I'm still detoxing, but it's changing my life more than anything I thought possible. I found out that I have a problem digesting fat, so I stay away from oils, avocados and nuts. I have given into my food cravings for pizza and burger. I got so angry and depressed it took me three/fours days to get balanced again, think this is due to hormonal disturbances and metabolism problems. Good luck everyone!

I'm on Day 22 of my Fruit Fast - I've committed to go up to 40 days, but might continue for a while longer.
I'm feeling really good, most amazing is the good taste in my mouth when I wake up in the morning.
I dont feel hunger anymore, I eat because I know I should eat, but the first 2 weeks I had bad hunger pangs.
My skin is looking really great, glowing from inside, and I'm getting some really nice compliments.

I've gained about 5lbs in 2 days on this diet. If you're already on a diet don't just jump into this one, have a nice light meal of an evening and eat some fruit every 1 1/2 hours for your metabloism.
